Last time I made a John Oliver thread was in late August. Barely posted a thing from him in September.

Did certain posters who post Infowars content frequently get paid by Alex Jones?

@tryit: white privilege does exist, mainly because the employers are all white, the bosses are white, the politicians are white. It helps to be white in a white man's world , but that definitely isn't everything. Tribalism does exist and people will associate more with people they relate to. I don't think that's a problem. Black privilege exists as well, you see in the rap industry becoming a rapper when you're white is much harder.

In any case, if you're good at what you do, privilege doesn't matter. That's why Eminem is one of the most famous rappers. It's why Asians have better pay than whites. Privilege exists for sure but how hard you work and how much you push yourself will ultimately determine your lot in life.

Asians are actually overrepresented in the Ivy League by a larger margin than whites.

*Post moved to correct thread*

At this point, the partisan fervor surrounding this nomination has taken priority over the factual realities of these accusations, and as such, Kavanaugh shouldn't be seated solely due to that. This whole fiasco will accomplish nothing so well as to greatly undermine the credibility of the Supreme Court (largely due to Kavanaugh's partisan rantings) long after Ford and her supporters fade into history. Judges on the Court have echoed similar concern themselves. The damage will remain with Kavanaugh on the bench, and it will hang like a cloud over every ruling that comes henceforth. Not much that I believe Trump cares as he's demeaned the legitimacy of the Judiciary when they oppose him at every opportunity, showing himself and his party to take unashamed precedence over the impartiality of their duties, while now being responsible for their appointments. Someone of such utter and obvious moral bankruptcy and partisan opportunism now being in a position to influence the future "impartial" integrity of the foundation of our democracy should concern all greatly, yet conservatives are so enveloped in their hatred of Democrats that they are blind to this, or simply don't care and cheer their side's victory in their myopia while the core of our democracy is further compromised.

This is an extremely sad and worrying state of affairs for this country, not even to mention that Trump's rot is going to permeate for decades throughout our government long after he's gone.

And this is not even nearly over. In a little over six years remaining, what are the chances that another Justice will retire? Perhaps even two? I'd wager the odds are much more likely than not, leaving yet another seat to be filled by Trump. This is like a waking nightmare. He's not stupid, he's going directly after the Judicial branch with full vehemence. And with that, I believe he's won. What accountability can be held to him or those corrupt that stand by him with the courts stacked in his favor chosen by him? Mark One. It's not a shocker that Trump has appointed one who tends to favor broad interpretations of the extent of Executive power. What can the GOP not get away with in the decades to come, the law becoming further and further subservient to ideology given such leanings and partisan passions present in the current political climate?

It's going to very interesting and telling to watch how SC rulings from this point forward play out. I'll for sure be keeping track and presenting it to his supporters on these boards. Trump desires for the public to distrust our institutions? Well, mission accomplished, Mr. Trump......job well done. The seepage of your complete absence of integrity and moral fortitude has now corrupted the public's trust of the best of our institutions only two years in. God knows how much damage you're going to accomplish in six more.

I hope it's worth it, Trump voters. MAGA, right?

You're meeting your monthly quota of John Oliver videos :O

First off, define freely. If every employer forces you to sign one as a condition of employment, is that really a free choice? Second, they prevent workers from selling their labor to whoever can offer the best price, that is the very definition of a market restriction, ergo not free market activity.

I saw that. Master trolling there (Banksey, not u).

And all that money could've been his.
