> Now, in his final HBO show before Election Day, Oliver pleaded with his audience to vote on Tuesday to not only prevent “the human equivalent of a clear plastic bag filled with cheeseburgers and Confederate flag belt buckles” from assuming the highest office in the land, but also to have a say in important down-ballot initiatives, from minimum wage to legalizing marijuana to the death penalty. To prepare, you can Google “view my ballot,” type in your address, and see who or what is on the ballot in your area.
> And look, who knows if this new information about the emails will change any minds. The truth is, if you’re still undecided, I don’t know if I can help you.”
its so easy to tell who is bought and paid for these days.

John, buddy..
you created this. You and your ilk. You refused to believe us when we talked about how you were destroying our communities. "It's not us," you said. "It's the Republicans." Well, the shoe is on the other foot now. Get bent.

Hey Britain, Could you kindly fuck off with sending your twats and imbeciles over here?

Jonathan Roberts
Trumps done, buddy. I was a trump supporter but once i saw that the FBI has restated that Hillary is innocent, i realised that he is just full of hot air.
Trump can't win now, he maybe had a shot before they announced Hillary free of all charges, but it's over for him. She will surge in the polls like never before and come out in a landslide.
She's already 5 points ahead pal. You might as well get on the right side of history and support Hillary before its too late.
Josiah Gonzalez
Man, I like John oliver but he's either not aware of all the underlying bullshit, or he's on the wrong side. Yes trump is a bad mannered shitty option for a president, but fuck, it's not about him. It's about righting the corruption within the government, and he's the only one who's not going to be motivated by their incentives.
This election has shown just how miserably fucking corrupt the US government is, and offered a peek into the lives of the people who make it all happen, I don't know how anyone can turn a blind eye anymore unless they're literally eating up all that MSM propaganda. Maybe that's John's problem, or maybe he doesn't care because he's relocating to the UK after regardless of the results.
I've been a lifelong trump supporter ever since he went down those escalators, but he's looking desperate and doing whatever he can to gain attention. Very narcissistic. He lost me.

I have no idea why they're putting up with his shit and nobody told him to back off. I hope Trump wins if only to spite smarmy cunts like him all over. I want to see him assblasted just like after Brexit.
if I have to shoot through a crowd of people to defend myself, im not gonna be happy about the devastation, but I will be happy that I defended my own life
Jonathan Diaz
can't wait for this little asshole to get deported
Mate he is a bought and paid for shill. Money is put into his bank account and in turn he spits hate at trump relentlessly, just like all others like him. The media is controlled friend. Have you not noticed the unnerving bias against trump?

Is John Oliver the number 1 globalist shill in the world? There are a fuckload of them but goddamn does he come off as the most obnoxious. Why do we only get like, ten popular names across the whole planet on our side?

The money is always on the side of keeping business running as usual. You can't disrupt anything without making powerful people unhappy.

Stop her, America. You're our only hope.

Lucas Young
There's a silver lining here. When Killary inevitably ends up impeached or ends her 1-term presidency with half the world on fire we'll at least be able to call Waleed Aly out for being a stupid virtue-signalling faggot who backed Reptillian Prime.

The subject of john oliver came up when a colleague (fellow psychologist) and I were discussing politics a few months ago. Although we were both in agreement regarding the general shitlib inanity of the HBO show, my friend was surprised when I explained that the real insidiousness of it is its unmistakably hypnotic structure and pacing.
I ended up pulling up an episode or two off of youtube to show her what I meant. All of the segments I've ever seen from this show follow the same repetitive format: present some "argumentation" and "facts" for about 10 seconds, then quickly follow these up with a snarky quip (which themselves overwhelmingly take the form of complete non-sequitur or otherwise absurd metaphor) before any rational processing of the preceding argument can take place in the mind of the viewer. Further telling is that the only 'beats' or mental pauses in the show's pacing exist solely to highlight the approving laughter or applause of the studio audience. Repeat this basic formula without variation 20-40 times in a row and you have one of the 12-20 minute 'segments' that form the backbone of the show.
The end effect is (obviously) not to deliver information, but rather to literally teach the viewers -- on a subconscious level -- to mentally associate derisive laughter with any person or opinion that is at odds with the narrative's take on the chosen issue. And it accomplishes this by maintaining a strict adherence to a roughly 20-second cycle in which a stimulus is presented, and a response is cued. This is the sense in which the show is fundamentally hypnotic in effect -- even moreso than its precursors in the genre (Daily Show, Colbert, etc).
To my mind, oliver's show is representative of the media's increasing mastery of the methodologies of mass conditioning; in fact it is almost such a perfect technical accomplishment that I would almost have to admire it on technical grounds, which moreover is in the hands of the entirely wrong people.

Jose Reyes
>Our president went over to our oldest ally, getting involved in their politics and threatening them in no uncertain terms with punishment if they voted one way.
If not for the race card he would go down as the Carter reference for the future - except Carter was at heart a decent man thrust into the indecent and ruthless role of president, and has done well after he left office. I can't imagine Obama is going to be doing a lot of habitat-for-humanity/try-to-extinguish-godawful-diseases humanitarian efforts in the world after he's out of office.
More likely if Trump wins it'll be a lot of backseat driving that is unseemly for a president to do and which Clinton was respectful enough not to do to Bush Jr, and Bush Jr. did not do to Obama.
Andrew Kelly
but will they fly good?
Luke Ward
the dude is literally one of the richest people in the world. the level of richness he can go up is negligible. for example, going from 1 million in the bank to 10 million is a whole different level. from 10-50 million. 50 million-150 million. 150-500million...1 billion, now this is a huge step (three comma club) but from 1 billion+ it's all quite the same. you can buy anything you want. losing 50 million in a sitting sucks, but it's not going to stop you.
Nicholas Allen

Thomas Morris
Why do you continue to listen to our cadre of professional liars?
Aaron Price
It's far fetched but I tend to agree. His jokes are shit, he's all about timing and familiar delivery letting know his audience when to laugh. Without the laughs his performance would be creepy as fuck, just watch Trevor Noah bombing every time.
Jaxson Turner
Or perhaps he's wondering how Clinton can win a presidency....despite losing in a blowout....
Adam Williams
its all just passive-aggressive insults. its 1st graders arguing. oliver doesnt argue his point, he just tries to make the opposing sound less damaging. the irony is that he tries to call trump childish

To me, this election cycle should have been a journalists wet dream. Hillary has so many skeltons in the closet. The whole wiki leaks alone should have been a new orleans cemetary parade. yet, it's entirely ignored. Well, Mr. Olive is owned by HBO which is owned by Time warner, which donated to Hill. sooooo...shills gotta shill. I mean, how many hill shills could a hill shill, shill, if a hill shill could shill, hills?

he does have valid points and he absolutely does educate on many topics, but you have to be a master debater in order to realize sometimes how he throws something in that doesnt make sense, that is made up or pure speculation and presents it just like the fact he talked about 2 seconds ago. most people have nowhere near that ability, im sorry to say this as arrogantly as I'm saying it but unless you spent years debating people ad nauseum you probably cant tell how and why he is making stuff up and when.

Trump is a populist, he's a vehicle for the little guy saying "fuck you" to the political establishment. Who ever told you a wrecking ball needed subtlety ?
He holds no political or intellectual merit. He is a comedian. He doesn't "make me think".
Owen Williams
Oh god the Smugness is going to be unbearable.
I'm probably going to stay off Sup Forums for a couple weeks it will be so bad.
However, if he does win Twitter and Tumblr are going to be funny as fuck at all the libcuck tears.
