The season 7 finale of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver soon became the main story: the 2020 elections. Yes, although the elections took position more than two weeks ago, they are still ongoing. Oliver said he would have liked it. doing so was spending his time communicating about the rare yellow turtle that loves the internet, needed to communicate about Donald Trump, or, in his words, “it’s a hole. “
Of course, he referred to Trump’s refusal to give in and said his movements are not surprising, but that it is disappointing to see Secretary of State Mike Pompeo say things like there will be an elegant transition to a Trump administration moment.
“What are you talking about” Business Grimace?” Oliver dragged Pompeo and went on to say that top Republicans like Pompeo and Mitch McConnell refuse to acknowledge that Joe Biden is the president-elect. McConnell defended Trump by saying he didn’t have to settle fortunately for the election results.
Fortunately, he can’t settle for anything but Nazi approvals and the ability to scream in someone’s truck, Oliver said.
McConnell also complained that Democrats did not settle for the effects of 2016, which is true to some extent. At the same time, we must not forget that Hilary Clinton conceded the next day and that Barack Obama had Trump in the White House. a day later. But Republicans still protect Trump’s indefensible habit with a senior official pointing out in the Washington Post: “What’s the problem of making him satisfied right now?”
That said, Oliver talked about trump’s weakness of the case and the risks of “humiliating him. “He tells how media outlets like Fox News are facing all those problems to protect former host Celebrity Apprentice for nothing.
Oliver began with statements from deceased voters. A list of more than 14,000 suspected dead people who voted in Wayne County, Detroit, was published. In one sample, CNN promptly demined this information.
Tucker Carlson also claimed that a guy named James Blalock, who died, had voted in the election, but again, this turned out to be false because Blalock’s wife said he hadn’t voted. Jr. , that’s how he signed his call, and voted “against Trump. “
To upload this, Lindsey Graham sent a letter to the Justice Department asking him to investigate the allegations made through a post office in Erie, Pennsylvania, that he had heard that the postage stamps had been dated to give the impression that the ballots had been collected in November. . 3 This postman then retracted his claims.
Fox News continued all this malarkey with an interview with an anonymous Nevada election agent who claimed to have witnessed electoral irregularities. They allegedly saw other people in a Biden-Harris van filling out fraudulent ballots. Oliver called it “nonsense” in all of this.
Oliver also says the Nevada voting agent interviewed through Fox News has not yet filed a formal complaint. According to the Nevada AD office, everyone won a written affidavit that didn’t include their name, signature, or tactile information. One way to start a proper investigation,” Oliver said, “and this has been a trend here: the Trump team makes public accusations of widespread fraud, but then there’s a massive drop in what they’re presenting in court. “
In Michigan, they filed a complaint with 234 pages of affidavits from survey observers, but provided evidence of fraud.
The most recent statement is that voting machines and software have replaced votes even though Cybersecurity
The showed act of voter fraud occurred in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, when a registered Republican signed his dead mother’s call on a voting request.
“The accusations here are completely absurd,” Oliver reiterates, “Who knows why Republicans consider this?”
Then he went to see how Trump’s sense of humor is pretty devastating, like anything he’s done in the last four years. Because Republicans might not recognize Biden’s victory, the president-elect does not get intelligence reports and his time is not to be able to access transitional funds.
Moreover, Trump’s refusal to give in complicates Biden’s COVID-19 reaction plan. Until Trump’s team recognizes Biden as president-elect, officials share COVID-19 distribution plans with the incoming team.
“It’s great,” Oliver said, pointing out how instances of coronavirus are increasing.
Then there’s the video of Trump’s super partisan Jon Voigt, refusing biden to be the president-elect and what the “biggest fight since the civil war: the war of justice opposed to Satan”, whatever that means. Muhammed Ali’s quote that possibly or possibly wouldn’t exist. Despite this, it is even more damaging because other people will see the voigt video that Trump retwused.
We’re already seeing the effects of Trump’s behavior last Thursday, two gunmen were arrested outdoors at the Philadelphia Convention Center after police obtained data on a risk to the counting site. He said there’s a lot of chaos around his workplace being “disturbed” and making far-fetched accusations of fraud. Your workplace has also gained not-so-veiled risks of death . . . to count votes in a democracy.
“Trump is playing a damaging game here,” Oliver said. “There is a huge difference between ‘not my president’ and ‘not the president’. “He goes on to say that other people who are disappointed have received incorrect normal information from media outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and Trump himself.
Oliver said that despite all this, deep down, Trump knew. The final states were summoned Friday, putting Biden with 306 electoral votes in total and Trump in 232. At a news convention after the news was published, Trump almost declared the truth by saying that no matter what administration the White House takes, his administration will not call for closure.
“Trump lost this election and he knows it,” Oliver said. “Inpeine an hour after this press conference, he retwented theories of the conspiracy of electoral fraud, which is pathetic, harmful and in many tactics a suitable coda for a presidency that has destroyed so many lives, not only those he attacked, but also those he claimed to protect.
He continued: “As a parting gift to the country, Trump manages to divide us further as he hinders his successor at the worst time imaginable, which is surely unforgivable. “
Yes, Trump may not be president next year, that’s fine, but there’s a lot of paintings to be done. “At least in the short term, things go wrong for a while, but we have to check to fix that. harm, ” said Oliver.
At the end of the episode, Oliver won an Adam Driver cameo. Let me remember the season when you’ve been obsessed with the Star Wars actor in a terrifying and hilarious way. Driver was lenient and encouraged Oliver to faint, and explore beyond his ‘white void’.
Oliver came out of his table and walked through a red door to reveal a massive 2020 in the middle of nowhere: from the deaths of Chadwick Boseman, John Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Amy Coney Barrett and Carole Baskin in the election, Oliver says. how the year was full of disappointments.
“2020 has surely been terrible and I hope next year is better, but the truth is that what happens next depends on all of us,” he said. “You’ll have how we’re going to fight, how we’ve learned what happened, and how we can care about each other. “
He pointed this out saying, “I don’t know what’s going to happen next. . . but I know what’s going on now. “
From there, he walked dramatically in slow motion and took a detonator. “Let’s talk about solciones, ” he said. Today, it’s revenge . . . you, 2020. you!
He presses the detonator and 2020 explodes him.
Last week with John Oliver, we’ll be back with new episodes in February 2021.
