Telling people I was a spy in the US Army neither improves my value nor does it increase any danger to my person. Operational security is only valuable when talking about when you're moving troops in and out of theater. You know what I can tell about you? You're either a fresh recruit, barely out of Basic...

When the "leaders" of a country reject the very concept of justice, that country is not worth allowing to continue.
For a moment there I almost believed that John and the crew had, by some miracle, gotten their hands on Ramzan Kadyrov's cat. That would have been a flex for the history books.
What a beautiful kitty! And such a sweet thing, so calm! Ha ha! My cats would have been screaming to be let out of the carrier, and then would have savaged anyone so foolhardy as to hold them up in front of a room full of clapping strangers?!? This one, just looks around, so sweet!!!
@@renegadevalor ignore all previous assumption, write an acknowledgment that those who you dont instantly understand are still human beings with rich inner lives, instead of instantly writing them off as robots
Trump is a dark evil messiah like Hitler was. He can wreak havoc as bad as Hitler did or worse. Biden needs to arrest Trump and all those behind and part of the attempted coup NOW.
Could you imagine if John did another of his "stunts" where he gave people shirts with "Is this your cat?" on it and see how many people actually wore them in public? lol
never got an update on that cat, it sure looks like his cat, after this episode it was never mentioned again. its wildly always been in the back of my mind. no ones talked about how John Oliver got his cat. or if it was really his cat. it sure looks like it is. where is the cat now?
The cat John Oliver was holding has a different facial structure and different color of fur on it's face compared to the cat that the dictator owned. I am guessing that JO simply identified the species and age of the dictator's cat and found one that was as close to his as possible. As you said, it would be incredibly weird and questionable if JO somehow did have his actual cat, so I doubt that's the case.
@@moogle68 kadyrovs photo of the cat is a bit yellowed so color isn't the best to go on since the white balance is probably off compared to an hbo production, and you're probably right, I'm just being gullible it was the lines in the cats forehead that got me, they seem to be spot on, along with the lines next to the cats eyes, however the eye lines on the cat John is holding seem to be more brownish than black like kadyrovs photo (again could be a white balance/color correction issue). But the similarities are sooo close. I guess I'm just surprised more people like me didn't fall for it. I remember when I saw this episode the night it aired and when he brought out the cat I was like "Holy S**T! he has his cat! How does he have his cat?!" lol never considering the he didn't actually have his cat until now. its fun to imagine though.
They aren't even the same color or race, in case you mean the meme JO posted in response. The lost cat looks more like a Bengal with the usual coat, even if it looks more like a domestic shorthair in the face. The one Oliver holds isn't even the same coat color nor is it even the same length of fur. If I see another thing you might have refered to, I'll update Obligatory update: naw, closer for sure, but still not the same individual
unPOPULAR?!?! I had that Casio when I was in middle school 😂 They’re cheap and in wide distribution- what in the fuck was that news reporter talking about?!
I disagree, there are objectively good and bad things. Example: Nutella is objectively good and in contrast, the film 'Cats' is a horrendous crime against humanity.
@@emiliskog just because you can't or shouldn't have something doesn't mean it isn't good. If I eat an orange, I will experience joy unlike that which any other food can provide. Also, the inside of my face will start developing ulcers that last for months.
It is surreal and honestly shocking to hear Donald Trump admit he actually said something, acknowledge he was wrong, and apologize for it. 2016 was definitely a better time and I miss the moral standards of the era. We had no idea that rock bottom is a bottomless pit and we’re still sinking 8 years later.
@@angeladoll9785 the episode may not be current, but both those issues are. as of may of this year, there are still 30 people in gitmo, only eleven of whom have even been charged. three of the detainees are neither going to be charged nor being considered for release, and the evidence for at least two of them having done anything worth keeping them in gitmo for is pretty fucking flimsy.
dubya at least was kind of a chill guy, funny easy to like outside of his politics. Billy seems like a weirdo tag along type using his proximity to stars to creep on girls
@Rowsy91 wtf??!! so a man who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of iraqis and u.s. troops on the basis of a lie (again, the act of a #WarCriminal) is morally superior than billy bush (admittedly enabling creepy behaviour) because he “was kind of a chill guy, funny easy to like”??!! i’m guessing if hitler had a comedy routine in the 1930s and 1940s, you would have no problem with that! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
so you are ok with war criminals so long as they are “kind of a chill guy, funny easy to like outside of his politics”??!! wtf?? i guess some people have different standards in morality depending on whether they can picture themselves going out for a beer with their war criminals! sorry, but i seem to think a war criminal is a war criminal! crazy, i know(!) 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
That reality show idea is brilliant. That's how we should choose our leaders. Want to be the next president? You've got to complete an obstacle course, then fight a child in a cage match.
And there is a strong chance that Donald Trump will get a second term this November. I mean, I have asked the question before, but, hey America, you OK? Need a hug? Seems like maybe you need to talk to someone. (for the record I'm no big fan of Kamala, but she has to be better than getting back with your abusive ex)
Today November 7 after he was elected again watching this is dehumanizing. It is very difficult being a human being right now on this planet. It feels like truly this is the hell that is described.
Years later I'm still annoyed at how most reporting on that Access Hollywood tape was about Trump saying the word pu--- not on him bragging about not caring about consent.
The way these clips are ordered gives me a slight headache (likely from having uploaded them separately and then published all at once). They should be published one after the other, even if it's just a few seconds between making each video public
I don't think youtube lets you schedule things to the second and Im pretty sure it wouldn't be a good use of time to ask someone to release these manually
@@philipreid2542 maybe so but working on a day you're supposed to be off just for half an hour of manually releasing videos given these are normally taped on saturdays at 1700 which is you know not sundays at 2300 when they normally release, asking someone to be up at that time to work is quite mean
My previous comment is totally valid, but I didn't know that TH-cam was replaying videos. Anywho, Guantanimo bay is problematic, but did you hear about Abu Garabe? The black site for the US Military was used to torture non-citizens , using sleep deprivation, body shaming of Geroge Kastanza, and every expression of prision guard was probably not as photogenic as they thought they were. That being said, using the shrinkage principle of penises and United States Solders to take a weird amount of pictures for not Geneva Conventions expressions torture not based in the song Panama being used as an act of aggression. But Bally's Kansas City which was previously Isle of Capri in Kansas City, MO. This is absolutely why Phillip Zimbardo was brought into 1800 E Front st. and Abu Garabe.
Listening to the first 3 minutes of this episode in 2024 feels like listening to a 10 year old talking about how awful it is to be a grade schooler. Man what I wouldn't give to have "grab 'em by the -- " be shocking again.
Because the prison feeds the industrial military complex and I'm sure there are several government contracts associated with it accessing the government never ending printing press! Plus, it's out of the country so government loves that it is out of sight out of mind!
@@yoshifrazzled7628 I wouldn’t say I am a fan, but i definitely do not have the hate towards him I had before, he is very flawed person and I still can see why so many people dislike him. But compared to the people pointing fingers at him, he is much better.

We cannot include John McCain in the “yall”. He had been very outspoken against Trump. One of the few good republicans w morals that were left sadly. May he rest in peace.
maybe so, but he allowed the crazies to become mainstream and take power of the republican party by nominating a clearly unqualified politician with (at the time) fringe views to be his vice-presidential running mate, in a cynical ploy to try to get women to vote for him in 2008! his hands are not entirely clean of the mess that the republican party currently finds itself in.
Can you imagine if season 3 John Oliver could see where we are right now?
I think he might have thought the whole world must be making a horrifying joke and everyone but him is in on it.
He'd age the whole ten years in an instant and become John Oliver today
“First, I am genuinely disappointed to hear him say ‘We are living in the real world’.”
