It was nice to see them tackling something big again. Honestly, I think this was the 'okay, let's not do the election into the ground' one (and yes, they deal with it at length in the lead up parts), but I won't be surprised if a week or two are committed cover to cover on Trump.
I mean, assuming something newsworthy happens in the next 2 weeks.
... I think we all know Trump and his phone will do or say something awful and worthy of mockery.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
I just had a discussion with my class today about political correctness, and how the political correctness of the past is now just the correctness of today, and how they benefit from the SJWs of previous generations so that last bit really resounded with me. Yeah. Social progress is finally achieved when people forget that it ever occurred, but boy, that comes with its own set of problems too.
Just watched the last full frontal. Then went and watched the web exclusive interviews. Then went and checked, and yup, my current insurance/hospital group just merged with a catholic organization. Gonna call tomorrow and see if they follow those catholic directives, and if they do, oh man am I so glad I'm in the middle of open enrollment at work.
Probably gonna switch my insurance to the local university hospital option anyway, because fuck the possibility that bullshit could even come up.
Caught Friday's Late Show--got a good laugh out of the opening bit, though my obsession with annoying accuracy and facts compels me to point this out:
The nickname "Satan 2" for the RS-28 Sarmat ballistic missile--that's our nickname for the missile, not Russia's. And yup, "Satan" was our nickname for another missile designed in the USSR.
Russians nickname their missiles after historic warrior people. We nickname them Satan 2: Satan Harder. Thanks NATO.

Well Russian military nicknames aren't what I'd call frightening... more confusing. Like the 30-barrel missile launcher TOS-1, a weapon that would make the brotherhood of Nod jizz their pants, and nicknamed it Pinocchio.
And then went and nicknamed all their other rocket launchers after flowers.
I'd Cherno Alpha was real, it's nickname would be Cheburashka.

There's a supersonic, nuclear, anti-shipping missile that NATO calls a "Sunburn," which is pretty on-theme for a nuke. Russia, on the other hand, calls the 150kt device a Mosquito, which seems delightfully Russian.
"150kt? Pffft. Is mosquito bite. Oh no, don't bite me, little Москит!"
On topic: That de/segregation piece breaks my fucking heart, particularly that asshole who rolled back 10 years of progress with one entitled lawsuit.

The official "Shit, since we lost the Cold War we're obligated to imitate the American custom of giving everything stupid names because numbers are hard!" Russian name for the TOS-1 is Солнцепёк, which sort of means "Sunstroke" or "Sunburn". Buratino is a deliberately diminutive nickname.
I'm starting to think the majority of these shows aren't really for me; I watched those Samantha Bee clips on the alt-right and Russian trolls, and as with John Oliver I agree with the content, I find the writing smart - and I find that the delivery ruins most of the humour for me. It's this thing where the performance itself loudly underlines, "This is funny, this is where you're supposed to laugh," or at least that's how it comes across to me.
"Nothing is gonna save us forever but a lot of things can save us today." - Night in the Woods
I think quite a bit of Sam Bee's stuff is ot even supposed to be funny. Just aggravating and stunning.
Look at Slate's list of "things Sam Bee has called Trump":
Sentient caps lock button
Freshly-sandpapered reality star
Two-bit wall salesman
Melting hunk of uninformed apricot Jell-O
Erratic rage quasar
America’s first appendix
Backfired wish that Republicans made on a cursed monkey’s paw
Agent Orange
Bigoted See ’n Say
Dauphin of Breitbartistan
Demagoguing bag of candy corn
George Wallace in a wig
Cheap National Front knockoff
Muddled asshole yearning to scream free
Big hairy orange villain
Leering dildo
M. Night Orangeman
Grotesque caterpillar turning into a somehow even more grotesque butterfly
Heretical billionaire bully
Nativist foghorn
Crotch-fondling slab of rancid meatloaf
Casino Mussolini
Monstrous apricot bulb
Hometown embarrassment
Screaming carrot demon
First-grader with a head injury
Sixteen-month Hindenburg explosion
Orange supremacist
Sociopathic seventy-year-old toddler
Failed QVC steak salesman
Nasty garbage monster
The white power movement’s orange ally
Thrice-married foul-mouthed tit judge who likes Planned Parenthood and thinks Corinthians is a type of car upholstery
Two-bit used hate salesman
The asteroid that just destroyed a party of dinosaurs
Dick-waving Berlusconi knockoff
Fat Elvis
Large-mouthed ass
Creamsicle
Rich asshole who wants to be King of America
Tangerine tinted trash can fire
Tax-cheating, investor-swindling, worker-shafting, dictator-loving, pathologically-lying, attorneys-general-bribing, philandering, mobbed up, narcissistic serial con artist
The least qualified candidate ever to lurch into the public spotlight and shit on gold star moms while cradling Putin’s sweaty sack.

At least you caught it before he explicitly told you.
High School me, looking for a job, actually attended one presentation for Vector Corp., seller of Cutco Knives. Red flags were raised when their "sample case" required an upfront charge and they were really pushing hard for the kids there to sell to their families and families of friends so I never went back.

I had a friend in college who sold cutco who was WAY into it. Kept telling us how much money he made and how awesome it was. When he told me I just had to cold call people in the phone book I immediately noped out of there. Was instantly reminded of it watching that Jon Oliver segment.

Yeah Cutco is a bit shady too, but to their credit they are at least not (from what I can tell) an MLM. Their business model revolves around hiring "independent contractors" (poor students) to sell their knives to customers outside the company. Aside from selling their "salespeople" their demo set of knives, and the generally crap pay you can expect to make unless you really hit it hard, it's largely legit. There are plenty of problems with Cutco (had a couple friends who did it too) but it's nothing on the scale of Herbalife and such.
I think the worst part about MLMs is that, in most cases, I have a hard time feeling bad for people that get ground up in them. Because more often than not, I think they realize what they've gotten into, then actively look to put somebody else at the bottom of the pyramid below them. Basically they turn their victims into perpetrators. It's like the one lady in the Oliver segment who refused to ruin anybody else's life the way they'd ruined hers...from what I can tell, she's the exception. Everybody else desperately tries to put somebody underneath them in the hopes they can get back ahead, knowing full well what they're doing to that person.
Maybe I'm wrong, though.

Yeah, I was one of those Cutco people. Downside: I didn't catch on until after I bought my sample case. Upside: they were actually some damn decent knives, and I got a good discount, all things considered.
Trump has stated repeatedly that he desires to curtail people's ability to criticize him, so make it easier to win libel suits.
This is a man with a list of enemies, for fucks sake, and I wouldn't be surprised if Oliver, Colbert, Stewart, and Bee were on it.
I mean, no, next week or next month is clearly an exaggeration. He doesn't take power until January.
But he holds grudges and has been a point of mockery for years now. And in two months he's going to have a whole lot more power to work with.
So yeah, I'm curious to see what LWT says about this. But I also won't be surprised if it's just John and his crew drunkenly ranting at the camera for 30 minutes.

Is there an executive order way to do this? I don't see a law preventing the criticism of government going through or not being found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

Just because they're in the right doesn't mean that Trump couldn't find ways to endlessly harass them. It's a timeworn suppression tactic. Being right doesn't cover the bills if you keep being dragged to court over it.
