  1. Wow that was so good!!! What a great & moving show. Will anything change? We'll see... but it was very moving to me to see John Oliver push SO HARD to make change occur.

  2. " Where the hell do these people come from??" USA! USA!! USA!!! USA!!!!...

  3. And more realistically than POTUS... but, that's really a very low bar, because trump has said: "One day it'll just disappear... a miracle".

  4. @Audrey P- While it's more than that... it's also that.

  5. Patrick-  The saddest day in my life as a citizen is the day they elected trump POTUS.  I thought: the morons have elected their king. Every day since then, whenever Cadet Bone Spurs opens that orange mouth of his & starts haphazardly unleashing yet another word salad using that sad 5th grade vocabulary: full of pomp, aggression & need, in inane repetitive phrases, connected by ellipses and little else, that ends up leading nowhere intelligible. I say, sometimes out loud: "What a moron!"    So, I've said this now several thousand times through these seemingly endless years... or maybe it only feels this way. November is getting closer.  Please, Democrats, for the sake of the life of our Republic and possibly our planet as well, remove this narcissistic bloviator's small fingers from the wheel of our ship of state.   The life you save may be your own.

  6. and A LOT funnier... & much less harmful, even with the occasional finger in the eye.   ...Man, I'd pay a 1,000  bucks to see Moe poke trump in the eye, just once.

  7. Or Citizen X, whose very handle stands for MORON, pulling BS out of her/his endless ASS for all to see.

  8. Rabin took the first step towards a 2 state solution... and they killed him for it. And the people who killed him, or their political and/or spiritual heirs, now run the State of Israel in its entirety. THE END.

  9. It's 2/29/20 (leap day) and I'm watching this for the first time. John Oliver has just said, "Good news; Dept. of Labor announced all financial advisers will now have to become fiduciaries". Guess what? IT NEVER HAPPENED; maga trump killed it; wouldn't you just know it?

  10. Listen John, it's all very well to demonize landlords, but the truth is, if landlords don't get rent money, they can't pay their real estate taxes and their buildings can be taken away from them by the state or city for non-payment of those taxes (leaving out for one moment the money landlords also need to pay their employees, & pay for electricity, heating fuel and the mortgage payments on their buildings). I'll be honest with you; I'm the president of a very small co-op: 12 apartments. The owners have, for the most part, moved on with their lives, moving to other cities and even other countries, often renting out their apt., as is their right. And now I'm hearing that their tenants have, to some degree fled, or they're not renewing their leases, and frankly I'm worried; wondering whether they'll be able to pay their maintenance and then what am I supposed to do about nonpayment of maintenance? Yes; I'm supposed to go to court and take that apt. and sell it... and what about the city? PEOPLE AREN'T PAYING THEIR TAXES EITHER! Which means yes; defund the cops... and the firemen too! Defund garbage collections, schools... Long story short, this is a 100 year tsunami rushing towards us at 500 miles an hour (that's like, I don't know, 800 kilometres an hour or, LORD knows: many many many versts every hour) and we need Titanically large FDR thinking here, but instead we have someone who's less thoughtful than a wooden ash tray at the helm of our foundering ship of state: glug, glug, glug...

  11. John Oliver and his writers are quite eloquent, and passionate. My fear is, in 10 or 30 years, this whole sordid story will just end up in dusty history books, like the Holocaust and the Japanese Internment Camps, the Serbian massacres, and the agony the indigenous peoples of Brazil etc. are currently going through as well, as in: "In Brazil, indigenous people are fighting to keep their children"

  12. I thought the Kudlow's shirts were well painted.  One might remember Matthew 6:28:   "...And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin..."    Might it be that Ms. Kudlow was using that biblical reminder as a jumping-off point for her art?  Consider Kudlow's shirts; they simply are; they neither toil in trumpian fields nor do they spin the same tiresome old lies in service to a government at increasing odds with the very people it's supposed to serve.  Perhaps she enjoys the simplicity of these shirts over the duplicity of their wearer, could that be her artistic message?

  13. I notice you didn't mention QAnon in your list, even though there's HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of adherents, desperately padding about, sniffing under every possible pizza parlor for political pederasts... so, what's the story? Are YOU Q? Are you afraid of blowing your cover? Listen: a word to the wise would be sufficient- wink wink, nudge nudge; know what I mean, know what I mean?

  14. John, it's simple and also somewhat pathetic (evictions aside): Larry Kudlow's wife is sending us all a sad series of signals that she's married to an empty suit. It's a cry for help that references her tiny Pre-Nup. and that snooze of a husband in limp pastel images repeated many times like nautical signal flags, waving a serial tale rich in personal disaster and almost monumental disappointment, if only you're open minded & take the time to look closely...
