Watching this season is like watching a trainwreck unfolding before our eyes.
You gotta love that moment of hope that somehow the Republican officials were going to strangle this all in the cradle, voters be damned
just a reminder of how corrupt and hypocritical the republican party is the moment they have ANY power. make sure you vote to keep it from happening AGAIN...
As long as John taps his desk in excitement at the beginning, it is the best. it is all i need.
Fidget spinners aren't enough. This is my "goooze fraba."
@@korbindallas4552 your. Your what?
@@Nixahmaim goozing my fraba so hard rn
@@Nixahmayou gotta really draw it out. It’s very calming. Goooooooozefrahbaaaaaaaaah
"And let us take a moment to feel superior"
Moment's passed, y'all. We're now as broken as Brazil
Excuse you: our version of Trump cannot run for a second term because we have an electoral judicial system that banned him from public office for the next eight years.
@@thedolhaze ...So, and this is actually a genuine question, did you all successfully get rid of the murderers?
@@MitchellTF has literally any government ever done that?
@@MitchellTF where is this mythical murder-less country you live in ?
at least Bazil doesn't send as many weapons to war criminals as the USA does
The Charlie Rose compilation has aged pretty well considering he lost his job during the Me Too movement a few years later 😅
I was honestly cringing so hard
I was just about to comment on this lmao
I think John Oliver's team knew.
"Few years later"
It was literally the following year.
So much through the opening sequence is so damned current, except for the Charlie Rose segmentS that turned out to be previews to what was to come very soon.
Thanks for re-airing these shows. Joy and rupture.
And those "principles" about not confirming a nominee to the SCOTUS within the final months before the election went right out the window the moment RBG passed away. Suddenly Trump was duty bound to nominate a replacement and the Senate was obligated to confirm, and it didn't matter that mail voting had already begun
Principles are only worthwhile until they stand in the way of you getting what you want. Everyone knows that!
"rules for thee not for me" is what turtle mitch tells himself every time he heads into the senate
Commenting about Trump era Republicans taught me how to spell hypocrisy without having to look it up.
Man. And this is pre Bolsonaro, too. Man. Shit has only gotten wilder. In all our countries.
That Samuel Alito "bad justice!' joke at 27:57 aged like fine wine.
Lula getting blocked from the cabinet would be pretty weird in 2024 too
“If it _is_ racist, it’s only toward Belgians.” 😂😂😂😂😂
So... the actual cost?
15 billion was spent on new fencing
47 miles of new fencing was built where there was none before.
Which translates to 319 million per mile, where the budget suggested 20 mil per mile...
More than $15 billion, brah...
and how many illegals diddit even stop? I could support it if its ACTUALLY stopped illegal immigration but doesnt seem to do much
While rewatching these is often depressing, at least I get the occasional reminder that Scalia has been dead for almost a decade. Rest in piss 🎉
Oof, that Charlie Rose compilation...the signs were already foreshadowed.
I was listening to this in the background and got to minute 9:59 before realizing it was NOT a new episode
I loved seeing these when they originally came out, love to see the full episode available for free to everyone now!
I trust “state run” anything more than I trust any private company XD
Even the right in the Nordics want to re-nationalize the trains and rails…
Isn't it crazy how 63 was too old?
If you mean Merrick Garland the point was never he was too old at 63
Obama tried to pick an 'older' court candidate so Republicans MIGHT approve him, as opposed to a pick like an Amy Coney Barret from Trump who is in her 40s, meaning she will serve for possibly 40-60 years on the supreme court
Nobody rejected him because of age, he was rejected because it was Obamas pick
Or if you're referring to Biden, remember that Trump is only 4 years younger than him
Thank you for another full episode from the back catalogue from an active HBO customer. 🧡💛🧡
I'm getting a pet walrus, and Mexico is paying for it.
I am Belgian and I support that message!
What a quaint period in our history.. Buckle up because the shit is about to hit the fan.
Signed - the future.
5 minutes in and oh my freaking Flying Spaghetti Monster!! From Brazil to Garland, we're already looking at so much to time travel.
Ahhhhh = through And Now This!!! ho-ly shit!!
DeWalt makes ladders?! Imma have to get me one of those.
It's crazy to think that this whole trump nonsense started Almost 10 years ago now
I feel like discount sushi should be higher on the list lol
Another two word phrase that is almost always followed by something insane is “Russian Oligarch”
Me going in order is a pain in the ass, post them in order 😂
they have a playlist as soon as it's released. unfortunately it is still backwards lmao
Gee America, immunity for president, Brazil was ahead of you😮
None of those dogs served on the highest court in the land...and that's a tragedy.
Wow. Charlie may have had a bigger mountain to climb than i originally thought 😂
Building the wall is like peeing yourself in dark pants. It gives you a warm feeling, but nobody notices!😅
I am begging lwt’s social media manager, put these playlists in chronological order. Please.
It is so interesting seeing this from a 2024 perspective knowing what happened with RBG
Interesting is not the adjective I'd use. Depressing might be more apt
Zika??? My god, we thought we had problems then lol it’s crazy how much we forgot, considering how much worse things got
Lewis Black said it best, when he said walls were deemed useless. since the invention of airplanes.
Werner ladders never saw that sniper shot coming.
The republican playbook is all about control through making you afraid of it and where you should buy it. It has nothing to do with facts or anything substantive.
Man, its a pity Molly never got to sit on the court.
Hard to say when this show peaked, this episode should at least be considered.
lol the “DeWalt” ladder running joke 💀 21:08
He doesn’t even include labor costs in the estimates for the wall
If Trump had his way, he'd get a bunch of Migrant workers to build it without pay and then deport them when it's done.
@@Pan_Tran_DnDfanfacts
8 years later, still lovin' my landline.
The Brazilian president gets immunity and it doesn't look good...the future, it burns
The wall was a bust. It's already falling apart.
20:02 I have been LOOKING for this clip, I couldn’t remember what story
1:47 and now he’s president of Brazil
No joke I forgot about the trump broader wall lol😅😢
KUTGW&TY Mr. Oliver.
Merrick Garland should have been appointed to the Supreme Court. with his indecisive attitude. it would have taken forever for the Supreme Court to rule on many of the issues. we are dealing with today. and oh yeah, he wouldn't have been one of the worst AGs we have ever had.
and we were robbed of Biscuit who would have been the perfect fit for dog Garland
@@Jamaz1992I think Molly was a better option...
Hardened concrete?
America makes Great Britain look smart.
Bill Odle for public office!!
Well, this episode didn't aged well... Specially the Brasil part.
“Welcome, welcome, welcome to It’s Always Something w/White Urkle!”
Man, that presidential immunity sure sounds like a bad idea. I hope it never comes up again.
Hey! Please bring this back to the beginning of 2024 shows
How can a cabinet official simply *waive* laws?
Trump wants to build a wall on the Mexican border. and from his tone he wants to fuck that wall. that was hilarious. and he was going to have Mexico pay for the wall. that aged really well didn't it?
I don't want a wall, John.
I just want my debt paid, a good job, reasonable rent, and a good nap.
Do you think Mexico would pay for that, John?
Trump did.
@@fogrepairshipakashi5834 Trump did not build a wall, he built part of a fence.
Trump did not get Mexico to pay for it, Americans did.
Trump did however get republicans in congress to squash the strongest border protection bill in decades just so he could campaign on poor border security.
Honestly, I'd vote for a ham sandwich if it meant rent was reasonable again
@@warren1078 Katie Porter has a bill proposed that would help with that. She has a video on her channel about it.
@@warren1078 ham and Swiss 2024.....
I’m sorry trump holding the kid up to the microphone is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all week
He should’ve just been an entertainer all his life it would’ve been better for everyone
Great show
It’s so clear now that Trump saying “If you know what you’re doing” to save 60%, you don’t pay overtime and you stiff the contractors.
13:30 landlines still queens in 2024. they work during power outages. i've used them multiple times in areas with zero cell service. (not the battery operated ones, mind.)
That poor child looked so traumatized...
God I hope Biscuit won!!!
*sigh* yes we were supposed to be better but this year has shown that we are just as broken as so many of these countries with their riots to oust the horrible government and I worry we are in just as sorry a place as they are - we just get more broken the closer to Nov. we get
Brief moment is definitely over
Damn, John, I thought we were friends. Why you gotta call me out about Taylor Hicks like that?
Mabye worry about the people first
And now we came around again to that guy being president because that's the kind of country Brazil is.
To be fair, wearing a condom on your head would stop headlice.
Not just that, it also stops you attracting a partner for life, because nobody is gonna look at someone wearing a condom on their head and think “I wanna spend the rest of my life with them”, they’ll think “I’m never coming to this CostCo again, it’s full of lunatics!”
still wish we'd gotten those wafflemakers
Well, the Brasil part didn't aged well.
I'm so sad we didn't need a dog garland
Ok.. this was from 2016... But the issues feel very much today.. why would you reupload something that aired 8 years ago and not state it very clearly at the beginning?
The first THREE LETTERS of the TITLE of the video literally tell you that this is "Season 3", which is _obviously_ *old.*
Because government was allowed to manipulate the public
Can Obama be president again? 😢
Is it weird that trump seems more lucid back then?
Hahah this Merrick Garland stuff aged hilariously. Clearly he didn’t deserve to be a dog. Good boy status denied!
I miss the dog supreme court.
That little boy who asked the wall question can now vote in this election. I'm curious if he is backing Trump.
“The wall gets built. 10 billion dollars to build the wall, it’s a lot of money…it’s a wall.”

14:05
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
Or you could click onto the profile page and save the entire playlist where they are in order.
The playlist has them listed backwards from the last episode to the first. Makes the continuity of each episode annoying.
Homeless really mexico
Brassieres made from oil? I guess ...
And you can cook eggs on Trump's wall. Or so he says.
Sixth video of me complaining this show stopped talking about Syria. Brazil and Syria are a lot a like. Majority of our officials are criminals, though i gotta say the crimes of syrian officials are a bit more murder-y
Nobody cares.
@@Rj-pw7zs including me
I mean, i care.. For what it's worth, im sorry that's happening for you
@@Hayanomie I bet you're totally a reliable person with no political agenda at all. What do you have to say about the 2016 Brazilian coup d'etat?
That guy is a creep
Biscuit 👍
why are these being reuploaded fu**king with my brain putting me in a constant state of deja vu
Did #DogGarland get brought back to be AG??
Spoiler Alert, he built that wall and it has been super effective.
That Charlie Rose stuff is SO cringe!
This is old
John seems to be afraid of dogs
Ugh
🍣 Discount 🍣 sushi 🍣
Build the wall tho 😂
wft was that rage against "state run oil company"? Petrobras was and is amazing man
i think john was a lot more neolib in 2016 than he is today
You must be grateful that US government can legally manipulate news sources.
no they cant, not even close.
@davechongle mocking bird happened and the ideals are still being used today.
WTF lol why what is this? This is super old
Previously they only uploaded the main story of each episode to TH-cam. Now they've started uploading the old episodes in their entirety.
First
quit spamming first and get a life
Don't let Dunkacccino bring you down. Enjoy your life while you can.
