The Politics Thread

Nobody quite kicks Trump in the nuts quite like John Oliver!!
Takes a Brit comedian to tell the US quite how ludicrous the current POTUS actually is.

 

He's been slaughtering him for months. Spot on, too.

 

His show is essential watching. As you say, he was onto Trump a year ago - trouble Is, his US audience is pretty much comprised of anyone who already knows the dangers of this idiot leading the Free World.

 

Just make sure you don't look in the comments.

For the love of **** do not look in the comments...

 

But you just can't stop yourself!!
Loved this one: 'The US didnt want to fight germany you retard over 75% of the population wanted to stay neutral until the freakin gooks said oh we should attack the US and many people in america supported germany until pearl harbor'
Ironically, there's a degree of historical truth if you exclude the racism and inaccurate percentage!!

 

And especially don;t follow the recommendation to watch a Philip DeFranco video.

Not because he's some Alex Jones-a-like, more that he's a so-called centrist that will sit on the fence when the right wing are in the news for the wrong reasons, but a keen left-baiter when the shoe is on the other foot. That and he once used his channel to justify blatant cyberbullying of somebody who said mean things about him on Twitter.

Douche.

Trump surpasses himself. Not only being crassly insensitive, but also for being an inveterate 'tweeter' who doesn't understand that deleting a post doesn't solve a problem!! Twat of the first order....

And then he goes one better....

 

He had a complete meltdown, apparently. He's going to get slaughtered for this. Good.

 

The proverbial straw that broke the proverbial camels back perhaps?? Would be too much to hope for

 

The second part of John Oliver's monologue is just as important. Not sure why they split it in half for Youtube, TBH

 

My bad.... watched the whole show on Sky then posted the YouTube link. Assumed it was the whole piece.

 

They probably did it to get around the adpocalypse, although it looks like a dick move designed to double views.

I missed this bit....... 'US President Donald Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides", as he defended his response to a violent rally in Charlottesville involving white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups'

 

I wonder if he means the Nazis, the fascists, the white supremacists, the confederates, the armed militia or the Klan?

 

Just watched the press conference - incredibly embarrassing and unpresidential. Shouted at by journos and photographers from a variety of news corps - all the while outside the Trump Tower a demo attracting thousands resumed for the 2nd day!!

 

How the US and the rest of the world should miss Obama!!
His recent Tweets quoting Mandela demonstrate the mark of true statesmanship. And this image just about sums up the difference...... no further explanation required

 

Really not that hard to post a non-accusatory, non-divisive message without upsetting anyone.

 

Depends who you are and who your Paymasters are.........

 

Theresa May on Trump comments: Far-right should always be condemned

He must be in the **** when even our beloved PM is prepared to go public in condemnation!!
