Matt and Trey got their bag and decided to torch the company, Paramount, that had paid them and dared/begged/invited Trump to sue Paramount, knowing that Paramount would probably cave, give millions, cancel South Park, and all of this might potentially jeopardize its merger with Skydance. Amazing.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.
