[News] Satirical News Show Clips

I decided to just put a John Oliver clip in this thread and change the name and scope rather than start a separate thread for Oliver's stuff.

So just put any video stuff in here; Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Seth Green, etc.

I love her so much... this is the best light-hearted Obama interview yet.

Opioids: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

While opioid abuse is clearly a massive problem in America I can't help but wonder if it's only getting attention because it affects a lot of white people.

I couldn't imagine a similar video being made about the 90s crack cocaine epidemic, just as I don't see politicians now screaming about how we need to get tough and crack down on opioid abusers.

There's no doubt in my mind that race plays a role; just look at sentences for cocaine vs crack.

And this is what happens if you vote Trump.

Seth Meyers is really hitting it out of the park to me....

The End of the 2016 Campaign: A Closer Look

Some of those were golden!

Q: Is there a danger violence could break out?

A: Thankfully, only if Trump displays a tendency toward inciting his supporters to extreme anger.

Q: Should I be worried?

A: If you haven’t already been horrified for the last 16 months, there’s probably no point in starting now.

Q: What does Trump risk by not conceding?

A: Fanning the flames of violence, delegitimizing the United States government, but most of all, missing out on a valuable life lesson.

Q: Is this what a crumbling empire looks like?

A: Yup!

Q: What will happen to Clinton if Trump doesn’t concede?

A: She will become president of the United States on January 20, 2017.

I guess I need to check and make sure I have Showtime for Colbert's special.

crap. I think I dropped it back in February, because I never watch Showtime.

Guess who's signing up for a 30-day free trial of Showtime's Streaming service...

What if your grandfather was conceived on the boat on the way over?

Was it the Nina, the Pinta, or the Santa Maria? If not, you're SOL!

This really scares me. I am in a Modern American History course and we just recently learned about the Emergency Quota Act and it's influence on how immigrants were accepted into the U.S. and how it was in favor of very specific groups of people. As I understand it, it required that the # of Immigrants coming into the U.S. were restricted to 3% of the people of their country of origin's population in 1890. Why 1890? because that was the most recent census with the lowest # of Jewish and central European immigrants on record. It seems relevant to me, in the sense that it was meant to exclude certain immigrants of the time, but now the focus has changed from the Jews and Central Europeans to anyone with Non-white skin, atleast from what I gather from my fb feed. At least she doesn't control immigration laws. If this isn't the right place for the post, please let me know and I'll edit. I tend to lurk instead of post, but I thought the parallels were striking and wanted to share.
