Trump vs. Truth: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[urasim]

Are you kidding me? Do you think someone pissed on that chair? Jesus... it's hilarious to what lengths people like you will go to make the world align with their views. This actually feels like one of Pratchett's Discworld novels. Specifically where Death (the incarnation) walks by people and talks to them and they rearrange the event in their brain to explain what they just saw...

Do you acknowledge my definition of rain? You know the definition in the dictionary? If you don't, that's 100% fine. But don't come at me with that weak as fuck argument without your definition of raining.

[Aoyi]

Wow. After seeing this, I might have to DVR his show. Its sad that a comedian is once again speaking the truth far more clearly than most news organizations.

[urasim]

By the way. I was there. It rained.

I was there too. It didn't rain. Maybe a few drops like Trump said "almost rained".

[Slant]

I never said he does have to be honest. Nice try.

You obviously missed the point of me saying that. How about you try and read the thread instead of cherry picking.

The rest of your post I agree with, BTW. Except maybe the following part. People can follow none politicians. Why do you think it's called followers on twitter or why people accuse youtubers of actions done by their followers.

Are you rearranging reality to meet your (feeble) argument again?

Here's your quote, I'll highlight the bits where you were talking about him having an honest discussion:

I didn't miss the point. John, and his two blind followers, accused him of lying. They say that John is having an honest discussion. How is John having an honest discussion when he's straight up lying?

I don't care what John labels himself, or what you label John. He's a person that people mindlessly follow and spewing his lies back at us.

To your "How is John having an honest discussion [...]?" question, I answer: "He doesn't need to. That's not his job."

John Oliver said Trump claimed it was sunny! Now he's literally as bad as Alex Jones. /s

"The rain should have scared them away. But God looked down and he said, 'We’re not going to let it rain on your speech.' In fact, when I first started I said, "Oh no." First line, I got hit by a couple of drops. And I said, 'Oh, this is, this is too bad, but we’ll go right through it.' But the truth is that it stopped immediately. It was amazing. And then it became really sunny, and then I walked off and it poured right after I left." Donald J Trump January 21, 2017

I had drops come down on me. It was raining.

"Last Cuck With Johnny Trigger-Warning" was hilarious.

I don't watch his stuff too often as his delivery comes off more whiny than dry wit which serves satire so well.

[urasim]

I think this thread would be a better place if we would just ignore your baits.
Even Trump supporters were trolling online, claiming it were liberal tears.
And remember this quote from that Evangelist Graham: "Mr. President, in the Bible, rain is a sign of God’s blessing. And it started to rain, Mr. President, when you came to the platform."

Look at the video, it was raining.

Nothing but bullshit, fallacies, and hyperbole.

Do you know what false equivalence is? Well you just did it. Congratulations you're a fallacious person.

Yeah, you're stretching it. Streets were wet. People used Umbrellas. I don't have to drown in it to call it rain. Now what, you're at the end of the line, buddy.

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Karl Rove, 2004

Off-topic but Alex Jones trolling The Young Turks during the presidential debates was pretty damn hilarious.

So, you're sitting here, lying about the weather after making it the prime discussion topic, throw some buzzwords around and keep spamming the forum with some of the most pathetic bullshit I've seen in quite a few days... and proceed to accuse others of what you're doing? Yeah, I've seen that one before... Oh right, it's the Trumpkin Express!

May your god-king rule the world and may you be a fruitful vassal to your Lord and Master. Pray he is merciful, for he certainly doesn't give a shit about you personally.

Oh, well then. I'm sure the people who were bitching about this video and dragging it out for sixteen fucking pages will apologize for complaining about John's completely accurate statement that Trump used the term 'sunny'. Since they're so very unbiased and honest and everything.

Next time Donald Trump talks about the inauguriation party he is going to talk about the aliens that came for a visit and that god himself opened heaven to send all his angels coming down with clarion choirs singing the all-new-trump hymn (itunes, only $2,99 (made in China))..

On a side note i believe that the main reason for Trumps change towards china was that his hat production (the one with "Make america great again" on it) would have suffered.

yeah I really hope john oliver doesn't whine about trump all year like he shilled for hillary all last year. Very tired of the biased narrative

[Damajin]

4.5 million subs and over 500k views on that video is a bit more then 17.

Feel free to point out what he said in the video that is wrong....

You're making a big stink out of a comment that was mostly sarcasm mixed with a good dose of indifference.

I'm at work, so we'll see about seeing it later. No guarantees because subjecting myself to that idiot isn't a high priority, but whatever.

In case it was missed last time I posted it.

You can see it raining as he is talking and you can see water on his suit.

Clearly you didn't watch him at all last year if that's all you think he did. People like you should stop using the words Bias since you clearly don't know what they mean. Hell the fact you point out he said anything about Hillary and is now saying shit about Trump shows he isn't Bias because he will comment on ether party.

I gave up talking to him, got tired of repeating myself.

Its on a whole another level to lie about recorded weather/reality.

You pick one post and ignore the rest while admitting you haven't even watched the video....

Ya your opinion doesn't mean anything on the topic at hand.

[Kujako]

Look at all these people, trying to cover up and avoid sun stroke!

In his defense, you did wonder how many people would do exactly that. So clearly this is YOUR FAULT! FAKE NEWS! SEE YOU IN COURT YOUTUBE!
