S3 E6: Border Wall, Merrick Garland & Brazil: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[@raulgullon]

Watching this season is like watching a trainwreck unfolding before our eyes.

[@lyndonwesthaven6623]

You gotta love that moment of hope that somehow the Republican officials were going to strangle this all in the cradle, voters be damned

[@KtotheL]

just a reminder of how corrupt and hypocritical the republican party is the moment they have ANY power. make sure you vote to keep it from happening AGAIN...

As long as John taps his desk in excitement at the beginning, it is the best. it is all i need.

I was just about to comment on this lmao

[@michaelf8221]

I think John Oliver's team knew.

[@MysteryMii]

"Few years later" It was literally the following year.

[@MusicfromMarrs]

So much through the opening sequence is so damned current, except for the Charlie Rose segmentS that turned out to be previews to what was to come very soon.

[@jerrys.9895]

"And let us take a moment to feel superior" Moment's passed, y'all. We're now as broken as Brazil

Excuse you: our version of Trump cannot run for a second term because we have an electoral judicial system that banned him from public office for the next eight years.

at least Bazil doesn't send as many weapons to war criminals as the USA does

[@dunkelmonkey]

And those "principles" about not confirming a nominee to the SCOTUS within the final months before the election went right out the window the moment RBG passed away. Suddenly Trump was duty bound to nominate a replacement and the Senate was obligated to confirm, and it didn't matter that mail voting had already begun

[@kevinmcqueenie7420]

Principles are only worthwhile until they stand in the way of you getting what you want. Everyone knows that!

"rules for thee not for me" is what turtle mitch tells himself every time he heads into the senate

Thanks for re-airing these shows. Joy and rupture.

Man. And this is pre Bolsonaro, too. Man. Shit has only gotten wilder. IN all our countries.

That Samuel Alito "bad justice!' joke at 27:57 aged like fine wine.

[@EDoyl]

Lula getting blocked from the cabinet would be pretty weird in 2024 too

[@Elated_Llama]

So... the actual cost? 15 billion was spent on new fencing 47 miles of new fencing was built where there was none before. Which translates to 319 million per mile, where the budget suggested 20 mil per mile...

[@gw6667]

More than $15 billion, brah...

[@Rowsy91]

and how many illegals diddit even stop? I could support it if its ACTUALLY stopped illegal immigration but doesnt seem to do much

[@daleksec01]

I loved seeing these when they originally came out, love to see the full episode available for free to everyone now!

“If it _is_ racist, it’s only toward Belgians.” 😂😂😂😂😂

Oof, that Charlie Rose compilation...the signs were already foreshadowed.

[@Nowcreating912]

I was listening to this in the background and got to minute 9:59 before realizing it was NOT a new episode

[@DixieTsutsaeva]

Isn't it crazy how 63 was too old?

[@Rowsy91]

If you mean Merrick Garland the point was never he was too old at 63 Obama tried to pick an 'older' court candidate so Republicans MIGHT approve him, as opposed to a pick like an Amy Coney Barret from Trump who is in her 40s, meaning she will serve for possibly 40-60 years on the supreme court Nobody rejected him because of age, he was rejected because it was Obamas pick

[@PeamThePanda]

Or if you're referring to Biden, remember that Trump is only 4 years younger than him

[@Brett_S_420]

What a quaint period in our history.. Buckle up because the shit is about to hit the fan. Signed - the future.

lol the “DeWalt” ladder running joke 💀 21:08

[@glass.hammer]

I am begging lwt’s social media manager, put these playlists in chronological order. Please.

[@ToddHurney]

The republican playbook is all about control through making you afraid of it and where you should buy it. It has nothing to do with facts or anything substantive.

[@AHX214]

Zika??? My god, we thought we had problems then lol it’s crazy how much we forgot, considering how much worse things got

[@musicauthority674]

Merrick Garland should have been appointed to the Supreme Court. with his indecisive attitude. it would have taken forever for the Supreme Court to rule on many of the issues. we are dealing with today. and oh yeah, he wouldn't have been one of the worst AGs we have ever had.

[@musicauthority674]

Trump wants to build a wall on the Mexican border. and from his tone he wants to fuck that wall. that was hilarious. and he was going to have Mexico pay for the wall. that aged really well didn't it?

[@tigerrom03]

Great show

[@Enjoyurble]

I don't want a wall, John. I just want my debt paid, a good job, reasonable rent, and a good nap. Do you think Mexico would pay for that, John?

[@fogrepairshipakashi5834]

Trump did.

[@Jcewazhere]

@@fogrepairshipakashi5834 Trump did not build a wall, he built part of a fence. Trump did not get Mexico to pay for it, Americans did. Trump did however get republicans in congress to squash the strongest border protection bill in decades just so he could campaign on poor border security.

And now we came around again to that guy being president because that's the kind of country Brazil is.

To be fair, wearing a condom on your head would stop headlice.

[@DrewSavo]

Not just that, it also stops you attracting a partner for life, because nobody is gonna look at someone wearing a condom on their head and think “I wanna spend the rest of my life with them”, they’ll think “I’m never coming to this CostCo again, it’s full of lunatics!”

[@nebulan]

I'm so sad we didn't need a dog garland

[@philipreid2542]

The way these clips are ordered gives me a slight headache (likely from having uploaded them separately and then published all at once). They should be published one after the other, even if it's just a few seconds between making each video public

[@DrewSavo]

Or you could click onto the profile page and save the entire playlist where they are in order.

[@TheEmbessyNetwork]

The playlist has them listed backwards from the last episode to the first. Makes the continuity of each episode annoying.

[@Ludifant]

Ok.. this was from 2016... But the issues feel very much today.. why would you reupload something that aired 8 years ago and not state it very clearly at the beginning?

[@moogle68]

The first THREE LETTERS of the TITLE of the video literally tell you that this is "Season 3", which is _obviously_ *old.*

[@ScottWaa]

Because government was allowed to manipulate the public

[@viewbuster1979]

Is it weird that trump seems more lucid back then?

“The wall gets built. 10 billion dollars to build the wall, it’s a lot of money…it’s a wall.”
