Last Week Tonight Last Night
If you missed Last Week Tonight with John Oliver last night, his Main Story was a wonderful, often very funny, and point-by-point detailed and scathing take down of Trump's continued insistence of how he's building a Border Wall.
Paid for by Mexico, of course.
Wonderful as the story was, I do have an issue with one point they made. To bend over in fairness, the show states that just because new material has gone up where 250 miles the old wall was, that doesn't mean it's just replacing the same wall, that there is actually new wall. And to make their point, they show a clip of what's not much more than a wooden sawhorse that had served as the old wall. The implication is that 250 miles of new wall has been built -- and I've seen enough stories that have explained that the new material is just fixing what was substantively there before, not replacing something that totally inadequate.
That aside, the Main Story is excellent.
