John Oliver...Spotlight on Johnson and Stein
October 17, 2016 at 12:13 pm
Someone had to say it and John Oliver is the man.   With all the Drumpfist nonsense going on as he quickly degenerates into full-blown crazy, someone had to expose these other two frauds.

Quote:“The more you look at Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, the more you realize the lack of coverage they complain about so much might have genuinely benefitted them, because their key proposals crumble under the slightest amount of scrutiny,” Oliver said.

Wow, I've never heard Johnson speak.  He sounds like he escaped from the loony bin.
and Jill's music makes me want to drop my speakers in the fish tank.
If we came from dust, then why is there still dust?

The one thing that surprises me is why William Weld would sign on with those turkeys.

He looks like a hostage in that interview where Johnson is talking about getting rid of DoE and HUD. Jesus, they are better than Trump but not by much.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The dog shit I just wiped off my shoes is better than Drumpf.  So if you set the bar low enough even he might get over it.

I'll have to remember the hostage quip.  That's a good line.

I could make anyone look stupid if I could interpose my commentary line-by-line and shear off context.

So he's supposed to ignore Johnson's act at the 10:35 mark?

Sure, but the point still stands that you don't have to make any of them look stupid. They do that just fine on their own.

Jill stein is not a hard core anticancer, but is a proponent that parents chose, which skirts that issue and makes me think she is secretly an anti vaxxer. Johnson is a conspiracy nut.

So much for all that 3rd party talk....all the choices have some massive flaws.
