Drain the Swamp: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) 

James Robinson just like hollywood stars trying to say who to vote for.

I won't either. Having spoken at length with the deluded types, they all sounded just like the asshat in the video. An overly-simplistic worldview is all I can think of. Cannot hold two thoughts in the head. If the person is a "politician", then they are bad; no need to examine specifics. Replace with "outsiders" has to be better; again, no need to examine specifics.

@@edwardsaucedo9223 Theyre still Americans and are allowed to share who they support. Most of us do the same, just on smaller platforms. Everytime we post about our favorite candidate on social media or even just comment "generic politician" 2020! were doing the same but reaching a smaller amount of people.

@@edwardsaucedo9223 Hollywood Stars and massive corporations make money in completely different ways. They are not the same. Stop drinking the coolaid.

@@edwardsaucedo9223 Ronald Reagan disagrees.

God this made me laugh Then cry

Not to mention, he's supporting a party more interested in buying him as property than being there for him as a small guy.

This is your brain on lifelong capitalist propaganda. You might have a lucid moment, but it won't last and won't connect

It's because when these people say elites they mean Jews.

Because listening to people who disagree with you is a bad thing?

@@mikerey6711 There's listening to people that have opposing views and there's listening to a propaganda machine that spews nothing but lies. That "news channel" is the latter.

Michael Reyes - If Fox presented logical and factual talking points that could be discussed point by point without denigrating, demonizing and disdaining others, it might be worth a listen. Except for the actual news, all the other shows are misleading and, ofttimes, outright lying propaganda machines. But their methods are those labeled by psych-social pros as closed channel thinking errors. This is the type of behavior used by those with narcissistic, anti-social, borderline disorders. It’s what bullies, abusers and those with criminal personalities use. It is purposely crazy-making, gaslighting to opponents and incites mob-like mentalities in adherents. If one was to break down the techniques, arguments and rhetoric of the respective hosts, the pathologies of each would not be that of a healthy individual. It is difficult to hear because the hosts are arrogant, indignant and appeal to the “good guy” (hence all others are bad guys trying to tear down all of us who are good) mentality in it’s viewers. They stir up this sense of self-righteous anger and it is a power feeling that’s difficult to let go of once one has been hooked by it. So I get why she wrote what she wrote. To listen to Fox for any amount of time makes you feel crazy because they pack so much garbage together and it rains down on your head with such emotion, it’s destabilizing. And you can’t think fast enough to start unpacking it and answering each item because they’ve gone on to the next attack before you can.

Lol, right? It's sometimes hard to believe that people can be that stupid...

"the elites" just means the people that make them feel inferior. So, the educated people, the hollywood celebrieties, etc. But not billionaires, because they don't know what they look like. They don't relize how much contempt they have for them. Or how much of their welath is built on exploiting the 99% with the help of politicians like Trump. It's just about who they want to hate.

Ikr! That guy was a complete dumbass.

You can take stupid out of stupidity, but you can not take the stupidity out of stupid.

@@serapiel I mean, they did elect a dead guy in Nevada, being informed isn't really their strength.

i wanted to say this

Stop trying to push that phrase.

@@amandacorbin6214 weird flex but okay

Peculiar boast, but alas

this was more funny that when George Costanza would pretend he was an architect.

Would you prefer to keep the ‘swamp’ of corruption?

@@theangledsaxon6765 That is NOT what users of the phrase intend to drain.

@@theangledsaxon6765 the Point is that he would not be draining corruption, but what suits to "corrupion" or, in an authoritarian eye, anything that doesn't suit with the all supreme saviour of America and cleaner of corruption god Trump think It is bether for America. Spoiler, this is way closet to the dreaded communism and fascism than anything that you believe or associate with it

RIGHT in all literal senses, draining a swamp ruins the ecosystem. We had a great pond by my house growing up until the city came and said "itll be better for the environment to drain this, trust us" and what do you know, now its a mucky waste-bog and its lost most of its wildlife (AND the drainage didnt improve for anybody at all, which i guess was their goal). Nobody listened when i tried to warn them b/c i was "too young to understand" (a minor) 🙄 it ended up exactly as i said it would though. Ugh. Let ecosystems run themselves!

@@theangledsaxon6765 honey, politics isnt equivilant to corruption. Would you rather we be run like a third world country? Thats what non-politicians in office gets us to. Yes, there are bad and good politicians, just like there are bad and good cops--its that way in any industry. But we need people who understand the system in the places they belong--billionares dont belong in office, they hire cruddy politicians to work for them behind the scenes anyways, and they dont know how to run a country. The word "politician" is not inheirently bad.

That lady had to be a damn good actress to be able to call him pretty and look like she meant it. Ick!

@@jenniferdavis8248 I just believed that they weren't even on the same set so that the actress could actually do some acting.

Saying having billionaires in charge of politics is good because they can't be bribed by other billionaires is like saying having paedophiles run the daycare is good because other paedophiles can't bribe them. Yea, it may be true they are harder to bribe than your average daycare employee, but the reason WHY that is is the very reason we want them as far away as possible

They can't be bribed because they're the ones who normally do the bribing. If you give them the job, then they just cut out the middle man.

Well, the idea is that the way to "keep winning" capitalism is to reduce regulations and government interference. This will help capitalism and thus will help middle America. You have to presume that capitalism is good for middle America.

@@Bagley2014 And Capitalism has proven time and again that it does not help middle America.

@@arczeum7921 I mean, capitalism produced the phone I'm posting with, the site I'm posting on, the video I'm posting in regards to, and the tools that made the video, so I think it deserves a little credit for where we are today.

I am from the US and I agree, unfortunately the people who have the capacity to change that are the ones who benefit from not changing it. We need to find some other way

"You really need to set a limit for campaign spendings. " Tried that. Then the Supreme Court struck it down because they say Money equals speech and violates free speech with campaign spending caps. It totally changed how elections were run here and billions of dollars have been pouring out into campaign ads, a lot of it shadow money from super pacs.

It's not like there's no corruption across europe but at least they try to hide it here :D

You know, you guys play identity politics like kindergarteners fighting over who has the coolest sneakers. Quite literally ignoring the fact that this message is an all paid for mega corporate hand out. Only 5 companies control your reality, and you will never question the unelected profit making machine, of which fuels distraction, corruption and the removal of your right to say or think anything that they haven't paid you to do. Yes, 1984 is quite the reality of today's world.

@@GoodGranted I have no idea what you're trying to say.

He did the same thing with "lock her up," possibly at the same rally. "We used to say 'Lock Her Up!' and that played well before the election. Now we don't say that anymore." Probably not an exact quote but it was close.

the gullible Trump base is less than 25% of the US electorate... it's the support from people who DONT believe him, who are making Trump's wacky presidency possible... I'd be honored if some fellow concerned citizens would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest singer-songwriters in music history.

I am so sorry, truly

Ugh this spoke to my soul. Young Floridian here, so many good meaning progressives around my age that just can't be bothered to vote.

@@mixedbusiness1 this midterm election had the highest voter turnout in a long time. Largely because of young people. Progressives may not have won everywhere. But there was a blue wave in a lot of areas. Especially in Texas,where Dems were winning left and right. Beto lost but his impact in the state will last for a while. So many Dems either won or lost by a small margin. Even ojeda closed a large gap. He lost by 11 points but Trump had won his district by like 30 points. I'd expect in 2020 the voter turnout will be either just as much or greater. More and more young people are voting.

General, your comment is sad BUT true. It is time for the peace loving to wake up and understand that you can NOT win a gun fight with words. Trump and his gang would walk over the dying and dead bodies of any American for a dollar and some power. To bad his PUPPETS don't get that.

Keith Jackson sounds like the good people are pussies. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@Luvenia48 violence only ever begets violence. The only time it doesn't is through overwhelming defeat of a single side. Last time that happened in this country was the civil war.... and lets not pretend that ended well. As its propaganda and economic ramifications solidified the racism in this country and poverty in the south... TO THIS DAY. I'm not saying to lay down and die. But there are better less evil ways to get what you want without resorting to taking the lives of others. The catch is knowingly putting yourself in front of the sword armed only with the power you have as a citizen. Young people especially. Get enough kids to die at the hands of police while resisting and protesting Trump, and you'll have another civil rights movement wash over this country.

Weird flex but ok

'...Then I started saying it like I meant it.' It's baffling that people in the audience heard that and just laughed.

@@Derfalken Didn't you know. The people in camera behind Trump in his rallies are told to laugh at Trump's jokes and clap. There was even thks one guy who got removed and replaced because he didn't seem excited enough and was visibly baffled at some thimgs Trump said. He was replaced by one of Trump's campaign staff.

You also got to love that his supporters don't give a fuck

WWE has taken over the Whitehouse. Linda McMahon already has a cabinet position, hubby in line soon

Another important factor is tribalism. Everything is so politicized that the position a person takes on these issues becomes a way of signaling group membership and that tends to override whatever evidence and arguments are offered for and against a position.

Michael you have spoken the truth like a god. The millions on the right with their unjust or irrational views don't want to be questioned. For them elites are the college educated free thinkers who question or even mock them. That is their swamp. The rich folks who promise protecting their way of life in exchange of power or money reap huge benefits because of their shaky ethics. This is the reason why Trump doesn't speak a coherent, well structured and meaningful sentence because he doesn't have to, his support base doesn't listen to what he speaks, they already trust him. So while Jesus spoke in parables, Trump speaks in meaningless catchphrases.

People who vote for Trump are full of fear of change, of changing the status quo. The world, the universe can only exist if it changes continuously. That is a fact. Trump supporters are fighting the unfigthable. Change. Evolution. Life. Many of those are uneducated, but they are not the problem, they just want to be given respect to. Those educated Trump voters who are full of fear of loosing their status, these are the enemies of every conscious human. Not just for americans. People who "rule" them know that, so those "leaders" use that knowledge for their own lazy agenda. Which is being a thief. Greetz&love&peace Jo&π

@@shivamshukla6359 haha, thanks :). In general, I agree with you, though I would be a little careful, because it seems (and forgive me if I'm wrong here) you're implying people on the left don't have similar biases and faults. I think a lot of people in either 'camp,' tend to oversimplify things, tend to like slogans without having solid reasoning to back up their views, or even have times when they're hypocritical. For examples, we can look at things like students on college campuses trying to shut down speech they disagree with, the antivaxxers, and many people who can't defend their views when presented with counter evidence (here on RU-vid you can find plenty of examples). I think everyone would benefit from examining their beliefs more closely and engaging more with people they disagree with in a constructive way.

@@michaelhilliard2370 I am not from left and for majority of life called myself centre right. I know that everyone has their biases. A lot of late night shows worship Obama who was one of the best leaders in this generation but still not a god. Yes almost everyone simplifies and the ones who oppose conservatives are not liberal and rational always. But I have realised that right wingers give refuge to some terrible problems which hurt society more. Like I know that anti vaxxers are stupid and if there can be law to make vaccination compulsory it would be great, but mass shootings are ignored just because there are vested interests.

you're such an attractive woman :(

The republicans “serve” they’re voters. Think about that. It’s not the other way around.

I thought Skull Face already did that?

To be fair, Trump has stuck to his campaign promises almost 100%. He's also made much much much more progress on them than almost every other modern President has with their's. I don't agree with most of his policies but he's probably been one of the most effective Presidents ever as far as getting his agenda through and it hasn't even been two years yet. I believe the only thing he was really blocked on was a repeal/replace of DACA and he was literally a single vote in the Senate away from that. God bless John McCain.

@Safespace Invader They also wanted economic benefits ("lower taxes", "american jobs",...) of which they are being betrayed massively.
