Trump vs. Truth: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[Aggrophobic]

Hillary, increased pushes for identity politics and bad journalism are my picks.

That hardly seems like reason enough to vote for that madman.

[Mormolyce]

Not available in my country, heh.

*Sigh*



Is this it?

Now lets see how many people comment about the video before watching it....

Well, no one really needs to watch it, it's a standard bash Trump video. I could make one that is only 10 secs long and convey the same message. "Blah blah Trump is stupid, Blah blah Trump lies a lot. And cut!"

So like, reality for the next four years.

I plan to comment without ever watching the video at all! Hah, got you!

but this is the general attitude of liberals that has helped put him in office.

I didn't know that the general attitude of liberals created the electoral college.

[Varaben]

How did that man win the election?
It is truly odd that a country such as the US has that many uneducated and quite frankly, stupid people.

When you look at the details, it's not hard to see how he got elected. There was so much apathy about politics coupled with more people being rabidly anti liberal and no really strong liberal candidates. Think about this, no democrat has won an election after a two term democrat in 150 years. That's what democrats were up against, this pendulum that is American politics. It causes wars and financial collapses over and over in the last thirty or forty years.

Well, I hope at some point, probably next year, they'll actually be a little more entertaining. The actual funny jokes in that 30 min video was pretty light, (though I don't find John Oliver very funny). But guess they need to get the word out, just in case anyone still doesn't know Trump is a poo poo head.

[zenkai]

Most Pro Trump 'people' don't watch videos unless it is from a very right wing source. Cause otherwise it is 'fake news' and all that.

How can it be fake news when it isn't news? It's a talk show.

[JohnBrown1917]

Trump is even worse on that.

[luckydevours]

Not a Trump fan, but this is the general attitude of liberals that has helped put him in office. Make fun of everyone and everything not totally left leaning, then act shocked when they don't vote for Hillary.

Are you saying that being a liberal means you are more intelligent than others? Because he said nothing about being left or right.

That's a 4 min snippet of a 30 minute video. I linked the full thing on the previous page^

Had Jon Stewart not retired i honestly think he mightve tipped the election against Trump.

That new guy who i honestly dont know the name of has sunk his show and you cant question how influential Jon Stewart was. Jon Oliver is truly his protege and had he taken over his show he wouldve been way more influential.

Unlikely. Stewart's influence was larger sure, but also still primarily with people that never liked Trump. What tipped the election against Hillary was that people didn't actually like her enough to show up and vote. The problem is that the 'well that guy is awful' routine, which is exactly what Stewart would have contributed to (as well as the bulk of Hillary's ads in my battleground state), apparently wasn't effective at getting people to actually go vote. Democrat turn out was massively lower this election than it was for Obama. Her campaign also made a giant blunder in the amount of attention they paid to the blue wall and the economic concerns of people in those states.

the us president is a liar? wow

since when?

oh... all of them? damn

Indeed, but at the same time, never befor has such an incompetent and dangerous person won the election.
I just hope the US makes it out of this mess in one piece. I just hope the world does.

[Pterodactylus]

So ur saying someone who lacks credibility should get a pass simply cuz they put up a new vid? Lol

Laughable.

[schwarzkopf]

is John Oliver the truth? a tv comedian complaining about the us president really?

The US president is faulty - stating this fact isn't really complaining as such.

- - - Updated - - -

the us president is a liar? wow

Indeed, since the 20th of January.

Trump is a liar who can't even president.

I think this played a bigger part in the elections than most people like to admit. had she at least acknowledged the worker classes economic problems, I think she would have gotten alot more votes. but instead she chose to focus on identity politics, which mostly middle class people prioritize. not that the worker class didnt care about that, but it sure wasnt on the top of their list
