    I'm a little less sad about Stewart and Colbert being gone/off to do super tame late-night talk shows when I watch John Oliver, I love that guy.

    Can John Oliver vote?
    What makes you think he'll vote for Trump? He just spent 20mins criticizing Trump's wall idea.

    Although he is a comedian, his points are valid on the wall and have been stated by many others. In fact to most anyone with common sense, it's not like the wall alone will do much. It's too simple to go over or under it, and the cartels are experts at tunnels. The Border Patrol estimates there are at least 40 tunnels already, and the wall would just make that skyrocket.

    Why can't you just cut economic aid to mexico until the wall is paid off? Just curious.

    He is a citizen now I think, very recently. Or he will be soon. I forget what he said. But probably by the election. He is married to an American citizen too, so that should expedite it.

    Economic aid? They're one of our biggest trade partners.

    I think a lot of people neglect to realize how much money it would take to build a wall that large.
    Its not as simple as it sounds, especially since its been broadcasted so heavily. There will be riots at the boarders while its being built.

    A lot of the money is to help Mexico fight drug cartels and and democratize institutions in the country. Might not like the results if you cut if off.

    Manning the wall would be the killer expense.

    Mexico recieves about 413 million dollars in US aid a year.

    So... what's 20 billion divided by 413 million...

    Yeah, it'd only take like, 50 years...

    Of course, the maintenance for the wall would cost around 12 billion dollars every seven years, or about a billion and a half dollars per year, so...

    Yeah, that wall is never paid off by Mexico on the contingent of "lol we'll withold aid from you." All while destroying one of the US' most valuable trade partners.


    Yet another proposal that does absolutely nothing to address anything but cost money. Just like the wall itself.

    Yeah the video in the OP does a good job of detailing that very fact...

    John Oliver is just a corny fuck lol. I can only imagine his fan base also loves the Big Bang Theory.

    He's copying Stewart, but at least Stewart would talk about stories as they happened. Is Oliver gonna start bashing dubya next?

    This reads like a nerd badly trying to trash talk the cool kid, which is especially funny when the target is as much a nerd as Oliver.
