It's interesting that suddenly they care about the creative integrity of the show now after spending years making GBS threads on just about any famous person they could. "Over-saturation" never stopped them from offering their profound opinions on every other controversy/controversial figure.

He's unofficially quoted as musing that he would be the "Last Republican President" at the convention in 2016. He's pretty down on the party and seems glad to beat up the new safety-monkey with the rest of us.

There have been plenty of other controversial topics circulating for years now that were ripe for parody, but they still forayed into politics to occasionally make a dumb Obama/Bush/Kerry/Clinton joke. I'm kind of at a loss why suddenly they decided to change course now that Trump is in office and is the focus of the controversy. Well, I would be if I didn't have prior knowledge that they're awful human beings.

These are the people who've literally made a career out of doing ripped-from-the-headlines beating-a-dead-horse jokes. They literally created a show called "That's My Bush" in case you forgot. The idea that now, suddenly, they don't want to be doing that for creative freedom is pretty unbelievable.
