This is good cuz he likes to piggyback on Biden’s thoughts and just blurts out whatever nonsense he could think of in that moment. When the 2 mins are up, Trump’s going to struggle to formulate a rebuttal
Watch him COMPLAIN ABOUT the rules and ****

He's going to shout loud enough that Biden's mic will pick up his voice. AsThis is good cuz he likes to piggyback on Biden’s thoughts and just blurts out whatever nonsense he could think of in that moment. When the 2 mins are up, Trump’s going to struggle to formulate a rebuttal

Trump is the epitome of "cant turn a ho into a housewife" and it's hilarious that the conservatives are suddenly like "Trump should've had better demeanor in the debates." You watched this guy make a fool of himself for 4 years and you thought he'd walk up there and be like "4 score and seven years ago?"

It's not just that people didn't know he's a brute. It's that they somehow expected him to grow into the office, that somehow giving him all this power would get him to become more decent.

Important article in the Atlantic today that’s almost certain to be buried under last night’s debate coverage, a la Biff Tannen:
www.theatlantic.com
To everyone who called NikeTalk “uptight”, a “buzzkill,” or “for babies” because we’ve consistently prohibited racist, misogynist, ableist, homophobic, and transphobic memes on our forums, we accept your apology - but not your new account applications. Enjoy Telegram.
Ethics matter, even - if not especially - in comedy. All the whiny, out of touch, “free speech” curmudgeons like Bill Maher and Jerry Seinfeld who constantly bemoan college audiences and their “political correctness” and all the lazy, unprincipled hacks who leaned on offensive stereotypes for cheap, adolescent shock value, like the creators of Family Guy and South Park, should be forever remembered as the opening acts for Donny and the Proud Boys.
I wish we could give them all the Ray Patterson victory speech, but we have to live here, too.

I trust someone got that on tape.
The Joke’s on Us
In the 2010s, Hitler memes and “ironic” racism filled the internet. What if we had taken them seriously?

The Proud Boys don’t seem to share your sense of confusion.
Proud Boys say they are 'standing down and standing by' after Trump's debate callout
On their account on the social media app Telegram, the Proud Boys appeared to take the statement as marching orders.

You forgot one:
Yes, President Trump Really Dropped a Racial Slur on Live Television Tonight
Trump referred to Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.” Again.

The problem isn't Trump. It's that politics is no longer decent. Both sides are to blame!
(is what a fool would say)
edit: Now that I read the article, a more serious take: I guess there's two parts to this. One is to recognize that people excusing this stuff as "it's just a joke" are enabling this problem. Trump did this yesterday when Biden brought up that he encouraged people to inject bleach to cure covid-19. What'd he say? "I was just being sarcastic." Yeah, of course you were, you sack of ****. Because not a single word out of your mouth is worth taking seriously. Your whole existence is a joke with no value.
Two is to take some responsibility, to have some ethics, as you say. I've been guilty of making insensitive jokes, even if the intentions were good, and I should do better.
But I still think South Park does good comedy, although I have become less enthusiastic about them unnecessarily taking things too far.

Susan Collins is no longer a good fit for Maine - The Boston Globe
The Senator does not forge an independent path on national issues nor serve as the moderating force on partisan politics that would best serve her state.

South Park was good when it was clear that Cartman and the general ridiculousness of the show were being used as a vehicle to make a point at the end of episodes. Even if the point itself wasn't always on point, like the racist flag ep where 2 affluent white guys basically went "It's silly to worry about things like that", the vast majority of episodes weren't like that. But then they did become like that. Suddenly in South Park's eyes caring about anything was silly and Cartman became the butt of less jokes in favor of him making other people the butt of the joke. Unlike Family Guy it's still funny, but it's just not the same anymore. Family Guy just sucks and it has for like a decade now.

Republicans being clowns and then feigning civility is a trend that carries over to this thread

Are we talking about the same show whose White, libertarian writers created a character literally named Token Black and then used him as a mouthpiece to attack the federal hate crime designation, with absolutely no recognition of the context within which it might have been necessary to, say, avoid leaving prosecutorial decisions for lynchings in the hands of "Southern justice"?
This frame really aged well:
And when I say they used the "Token Black" character as a mouthpiece - that applies in the most literal sense.
This is the guy who played the role:
The show didn't "get bad in later seasons." That episode aired twenty years ago.
The script is available online:
Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000/Script
Stan Marsh Kyle Broflovski Eric Cartman Kenny McCormick Lizzy Bebe Stevens Butters Stotch Romper Stomper Juvenile prisoners Tolkien Black Linda Black Steve Black Pip Pirrip Clyde Donovan Mr. Mackey Liane Cartman FBI agents Sharp and Keen Leslie Smith, Trial TV host Prosecutor and honorable judge...
Look out for the heterosexist slur they managed to slip in via Pig Latin, casual sexism, and the "White guy gets called racist for a totally innocent statement" trope.
What's the over/under on the percentage of people in that writers' room wearing a backwards baseball hat, cargo shorts, and sandals with socks?
South Park exemplifies punching down while failing up.
