Don't rule it out.

They didn't want to stop and everytime they have been asked about bringing it back they (Well Penn) has gone "Ehhhhhhh maybe."

Basically they're just waiting fo someone to come up to them with a truck of money and go "MAKE DA SHOW!"

Personally I want them to do the Bullshit of Bullshit show that they always intended to do as their finale. Where they rip apart themselves and how dumb, biased, innacurate and misleading their own show is

That sounded like a really fun idea.

I remember they did an episode about global warming being bullshit.

I hope they don't still believe that.

They couldn't keep up with Trump, they could make an episode every time he opens his mouth

For Trump, watching that show would be like that one scene in Spaceballs where they fast forward to the exact part of the movie that's happening right now

I don't think they would be dumb enough to make the whole show about Trump. I would imagine they would attack a policy or 2 of his for an episode or 2 (as well as popular liberal talking points today) but not make the whole season a political shitfest.

Be careful what you wish for. That show always had a strong libertarian view. Several episodes were calling out environmentalists, taxes, my feelings are hurt activists and busy bodies, and the government, while one episode defended Wal-Mart. Today they probably would say CNN is bullshit and go after a lot of social justice causes.

Maybe why no one is offering to bring the show back.

It was just a note for the others expecting another Trump roast when they would probably support him more often than not.

Meanwhile I would look forward to social justice is bullshit episodes.

Comedian/magician and former "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Penn Jillette has just pulled a surprising rabbit out of his hat and inserted himself in the did-Donald-Trump-speak-slurs on-"The Apprentice"? controversy roiling Washington again.

Yes, he says, there are tapes from the reality series in which Trump, its host, is heard making racially or sexually inappropriate remarks. And he knows this because, he says, "I was in the room" at the time.

...

He said his experience on the show made it clear that Trump "would be a terrible president, but he was perfect for a reality TV show.

"I said that publicly every chance I got while also saying hes a good reality show," Jillette said. "You want someone capricious and petty and narcissistic to be on your reality show. And boy, I hate to say this, but playing tapes of him doing that job might be unfair. I want those tapes to be used against him, but it might be unfair."

After all, he said, the context for the tapes was television, and "context is really tricky." Still, he added: "I have nothing good to say about Donald Trump as president."

I like how diversity of race/religion/gender is so important, but when it comes to diversity of opinion, that's so frowned upon in today's society.
Which is the only thing that SHOULD matter. All of those other things are irrelevant. We're all human. That's what I see when I look at another human being.

They also did episodes on Recycling and Second Hand Smoke which were awful.

Even they have admitted the smoking episode was bad

Fun fact: They wanted to do a episode about religion every season

But the Network was SUPER iffy about it so they toned it down and only did a couple, and even then tended to go after figures rather than religion itself.

I imagine Trump might be the same.

I mean Christ they alreay did an episode that touched on how stupid building a wall on the Southern Boarder was when Bush was doing it.

I said his side. Not pro Trump. They can hate the man and still support his political positions. Trump being a buffoon isn't going to get those 2 going taxes should be higher so the government can have more control over education and health care.

...and that's what I appreciate about them. They've never aligned themselves with an agenda(which is what every mainstream network does now), and instead, take each issue separately and take their own opinion on it sometimes based off facts, and sometimes based off their own bullshit lmao

You said "support him", not "support his political positions" or "his side". Penn has been very outspoken how he did not support Trump for President and that Trump's complete lack of empathy and being a total asshole is a huge negative. Likewise Trump has not governed like a Libertarian nor has he actually reduced spending, so the idea that "oh they are Libertarian they'll support his tax policies!" is completely wrong. And one of the only things that Penn said he'd back Trump with was if he pulled troops out of Syria and Afghanistan, the former which still has at least 1,000(so he cut it by less than half) and the later still has the same amount we had under Obama.

Sorry if the facts upset your feelings
