The HBO HOST BEGAN BY NOTING HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA.) HAD SAID BEFORE THE SPEECH THAT HE WANTED TO “FRAME IT IN GILDED GOLD.”
Oliver’s Response: “This isn’t Important, But Gilding Is A Technique WHERE YOU COVER THINS THAT ARE NOT GOLD IN A THIN LAYER OF GOLD TO MAKET TheM LOOK LIKE GOLD. So you wouldn’T Gild Gold Because Gold Is Gold Already. It’d be like [Vice President] JD Vance Wearing A T-shirt that Says ‘Unbearable Bitch’ on It. IT IS SIMPLY REDUDANT. ”
The Last Week tonight Host Noted that Some Democrats Didn’s Show up for the Speech, Including Rep. Alexandria ocasio-cortez (dn.y) and rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).
“In Hindsight, No-Showing Might Have the Right Move Because Democrats in the Room Didn’t Seem to Have a Coordinated Plan to Respond,“ Oliver Said. “Some Dressed Up in Matching Outfits While Other Held Up Signs on Paddles,“ Which Had Messages Like “Musk Steals,” “Save Medicaid” and “Protect Veterans.”
Oliver THEN Noted that Rep. Al Green’s (D-Texas) Outburst Durying The Speech, WHICH PROMPTED 10 DEMOCRATS VETING TO CENSURE GREEN FOR HIS ACTIONS “DESPITE SIMILAR PROTESTS Durying Biden’s Respe. That move was in keeping with Centrist Democrats’ Current Insistency on Bending Over Backwards to Cater to Conservatives, “Oliver OpINED.
He Said that Sentiment Was Included in Elissa Slotkin’s (D-Mich.) Official rebuttal to the president in WHICH she clicized Trump’s Behavior Dringing His Recent Meeting With UKRAIN.
“Reagan Must be Rolling in his Grave,“ She Said. “We All Want An End to the War in Ukraine, But Reagan Understood that True Strength Required America to Combine Our Military and Economic Might with Moral Clarity. … As a Cold War Kid, I’M thankful It was Reagan and Not Trump in Office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost US The COLD WAR. ”
Quipped Oliver: “Yeah, She Criticized Trump by Praising Reagan, and I Will Admit There Are Some Positive Things You Can Can Say About Reagan, Like He Was Our Only President, But his moral clity might come as a surprise to any gay people who lived through 1980s. I’m Just Saying, if You Brough Reagan Back From The Dead and Told Him All The Racist Shit Trump’s Managed to do in Less than Two MONTS, HE’D SO SO HARD HARD HARD DIE AGAIN. ”
Oliver Ten Went On Note that Trump’s Approval Rating is the “Lowest on Record of Any President at this Point in their Term – with the sole exception of Himself eight years ag.”
That’s why, he Continued, It Was “Refreshing” to See Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for Pushing Back by Calling Out Trump for His Adminstration’s Recent Countries Including Canada.
“Canadians are hurt. Canadians Are Angry, ”Trudeau Said in His Respense. “We’re Going to Choose to Not Go On vacation in Florida or Old Orchard Beach [Maine] or WHEREVER. We’re Going to Choose to Try to Buy Canadian Products and Forego Bourbon and Other Classic American Products. And Yeah, We’re Probably Going to Keep Booing The American Anthem. ”
Quipped Oliver: “So There’s A Lot to Unpack there, Starting with the fact that it Really Seized Like Trudeau Just Forgot Anything Makes Makes Other Than Burbon. Canadians Will Forego Bourbon and, Um, What’s That Beer That Tastes Like A Lime Shit Itelf? Bud Light, That’s Right. We Won’t have any of that either. ”
