John Oliver's takedown of Trump, Putin and Russia....

[Wikiy]

They aren't assumptions. You either adapt to a more global world, or you get left behind, which is exactly what will happen if the US employs any policies that make us more insular.

Also:

1. Who and why the fuck would anyone have an issue with free trade?
2. It's not unrestricted immigration, America has had the strictest demands when it comes to immigration, and for a while now.

I'll listen to your moral high ground the moment you close Guantanamo.

newsflash - Guantanamo is NOT closing. Even though the feckless Obama wanted to close it, he couldn't. Now with Trump in office they will actually expand it! Hell-to-the-fuck yes!!!

Do you think it matters?
He can actually start bombing innocent families and people will still try to have the US claim moral high ground because "they technically violated international law".

Oh well.

(btw, when your hysterical example occurs, let me know.)

Thankfully Trump's view on Russia is shared by very, very few in the US government.

I'm a EU citizen, dude. xD

Remember Westerners: Putin is our enemy.

Countries that US bombed in 2016: (26,171 bombs or 3 bombs per hour)

Country	Syria	Iraq	Afghanistan	Libya	Yemen	Pakistan	Somalia
Reason	Arm Fight Terrorists	Why not?	Why not?	Why not?	Why not?	Why not?	Why not?

Countries that Russia bombed in 2016:

Country	Syria
Reason	Invited by Ally for defense

USA is responsible for over 1.2M deaths just by bombing 3 countries in middle east: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and they are still going strong.

Remember westerners: Russia is evil. We surround them and they react by reinforcing their borders. Evil evil evil Russians.

john oliver is great more often that not, sadly that Anita episode sucked major balls and its hard to recover from that awful feeling.

Oliver needs at least 3 or 4 good episodes like this to wash away the stench from that Anita Sarkeesian episode.

John Oliver did a show about internet harassment on about 1.5 years ago that featured about 10 seconds of Sarkeesian's experience. She didn't seem to be the focus of the show. What bothered you so much about that show (in its entirety) that it diminished Oliver's work in general?

10 seconds is 9.99999 seconds too much.

Oh look. A media personality throwing shit. Why it worked so well so far why not keep going. Keep on alienating half of your population.

Putin is our enemy in the next expansion. West plays Horde (Good guys), Russia plays Alliance (Bad guys).

Remember the thread "Why are there so few conservative comedians?"? Read this thread - here is why. Humor isn't really compatible with being butthurt every time someone grills your fuhrer.

The issues are dead serious, so serious that people even voted for someone like Trump. But hey, symptons and causes, who cares about small stuff.

So serious that fewer people voted for him than against him.

P.S. What issues? He ran on jobs, the economy, Mexican illegal immigration and terrorism.

(*) The US unemployment rate is at its lowest level since the GFC.
(*) GDP, Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq, all at or near record highs.
(*) The Mexican illegal immigrant population has been declining for a decade and more Mexicans are going from the US to Mexico than vice versa.
(*) You can count the number of US deaths to terrorist attacks per year on one hand.

All the things he campaigned on were false crises.
