I just don't understand why humor gets you a free pass to push a specific agenda of propaganda.

We've all condemned folks like George Clooney for Oliver's level of smugness and condescension, but apparently it's because his message didn't have jokes.

The Pew report focused on technical inefficiencies in our voting system rather than actual fraud. It found that 24 million voter registrations in the United States are either invalid or have significant inaccuracies, 2.75 million people are registered in more than one state, 12 million records have the wrong address, and almost 2 million deceased individuals are still on the rolls. These problems are attributed to outdated registration systems rather than chicanery, however, and their proposed solutions are practical rather than alarmist, including cross-referencing registration lists, improving techniques for spotting out-of-date records, and allowing voters to register online.

In their Oct. 10 debate, McCain (Ariz.) didn't really have an answer for why, as his opponent, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) pointed out, he had endorsed Trump more than 60 times — then pulled the plug this month after the hot-mic tape was reported.

In Monday's Pennsylvania Senate debate, Toomey was asked by the moderator three times to give a “yes or no” answer on whether he would support Trump for president.

Three times, Toomey dodged.

“I have not reached a point where I can endorse Donald Trump, because I have so many concerns about his candidacy,” he finally said, later adding: “At some point” he “probably will” say for whom he's going to vote, “but there is more ethics we need to talk about.”
...
In his debate Friday, one of the Senate's most vulnerable incumbents, Ron Johnson (Wis.), wouldn't say Trump's name in his debate with former senator Russ Feingold (D). Seriously. Johnson's response to whether he'd continue to support Trump despite the The Tape ™ is 72 words long, with not one mention of the GOP nominee's name

Clarke says the scandal has only galvanized Trump's supporters.

"We’re in such a lewd place now with this campaign. It sickens the American people," Clarke told Mike Gousha Sunday on Madison, Wisconsin, TV station WKOW. "[The tape scandal has] rallied his base, including women who support Trump. They came out swinging, came out with pitchforks and torches to support their candidate.

Not only is that the only productive thing he's ever said, it's actually making me consider whether or not that single promise is worth my vote.

It doesn't matter, because the time has come for a female president.

OK, so what if we did have term limits? What, we get fewer politicians and more Trumps?

You two are a couple of dream killers.

However, you'd hope that it would also mean less corruption, new ideas, harder to pass bullshit, etc.

No more riders.

Convention of states. At the mock trial run they passed an amendment to limit congressional and senate terms.

They write the rules, fuck you.
