John Oliver FINALLY gets it: “I am mad for trans people who’ve been threatened. I’m disgusted at the prospect of mass deportation. I’m furious at Biden for not dropping out earlier and that the egos and inaction of two men older than credit cards themselves have led us to this point,”
Still arguing both sides are the same, eh John?
This is why Trump is President-Elect. You should have picked a side. Instead you decided to go with blaming Democrats.
Own it.

When was John Oliver a both sides guy? Sounds more like Jon Stewart.
@Helical_Code @feloneouscat He isn't. Neither is Jon Stewart. This is a mischaracterization.
He isn't remotely saying they are equivalent. He IS SAYING Biden let his own ego get in front of what was best for the country.
Pelosi was right. He started implying he was a transition president, making way for someone else. Then he reneged and it took too damned long to accept reality and step down.
Biden did a lot of good. But he also contributed to this massive failure being stubborn.
@Helical_Code @feloneouscat We needed a vigorous primary, not a "Oh shit, we have to appoint someone and make up lost ground!"
But don't get it twisted that people worried about this outcome weren’t the problem. The U.S. government should look like America.
Wait until the conservatives replace their older justices with 40 year olds so we are stuck for several generations.
Both John Oliver and Jon Stewart both sides it.
Oliver trying to make it Biden’s fault… except the STATES are the ones that get to make that decision… Huh… Maybe Oliver’s crew need to read the fucking Constitution instead of Wikipedia:

"I’m furious at Biden for not dropping out earlier and that the egos and inaction of two men older than credit cards themselves have led us to this point”
Okay, here is the point: Trump is the WORST CANDIDATE in the history of the Presidency. He is a rapist, a convict an insurrectionist, he stole government documents, he tried to get a state to change the votes, he applied pressure on a foreign government, he was impeached twice.
There is no reality where Biden stepping down would have changed Trump being the worst candidate ever.
What changed things was the Main Stream Media giving Trump a pass on everything. Did they mention his convictions? Only half heartedly. Did they mention his illegal acts? Sure, way back when it didn’t matter. Did they mention Harris? Only to say, “We need to know more about her”—she was only the VP for the last four years!
Harris is a far better candidate.
But the news organizations realized that Fox News gets WAY more money and attention by lying than by telling the truth.
Look, this is up to 2022. Who would you rather be if you wanted to be a gazzilionaire?
"During the month of March, FNC was number one in all of cable in total day and primetime viewership and beat CNN and MSNBC across the board with double and triple advantages. Additionally, FNC occupied more than half the audience share among total viewers and swept every hour in the 25-54 demo.”
That is insane. A company that regularly lies to its audience was #1.
