True but even then it was a carry on bag. Meaning it goes through that conveyor belt scanner with the TV screen everyone can see. I would very surprised if they are not backing up the footage from the scanner either directly or indirectly via CCTV, for liability purposes. That would verify the contents she's claiming.

Then there's the knife she found inside. That alone should prompt a full chain of custody investigation. If her bag wasn't tampered with; how did she get a knife onto the plane?

Fair. I don't interact with the people you do. But what you saying does explain why SP felt it necessary to spell it out in season 22. I'm guessing the guy in this scene is a parody of the folks you're talking about.

I always saw manbearpig as a scathing criticism of how everyone ignored Al Gore because the effects of climate change weren't visibly in front of us.

The anti-climate change, pro-Walmart, pro-Starbucks whatever-era was annoying as fuck

They were ripping on all of those things. Man Bear Pig wasn't climate-change denial it was commentary on climate change denial.

Can't blame south park for conservatives not getting shit. That's their thing.

The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.

Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.

Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
