I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.
And I watch my daughters two beautiful intelligent black young women play with the dog on the White House lawn.
And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.
John Oliver returns to take on the Trump convention
By: Steve Johnson, Contact Reporter
And on the seventh day, John Oliver had his say.
The British comedian, star of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” was silent during last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland because he was on hiatus and because his is a weekly show.
But he was back in his regular time slot Sunday, for many of us a day of rest before the Democrats Monday start their already troubled convention in Philadelphia.
Putting his own spin on what just happened in Cleveland, Oliver opened by calling it a “3D IMAX (Expletive) Dumpster Fire.”
And then the show did one of its trademark extended segments on the Republican convention, which was exactly the thing every “LWT” fan wanted to see. You’ll probably see headlines for it Monday like, “Watch John Oliver Eviscerate the RNC” and “You Won’t Believe John Oliver’s Vicious Take-down of Donald Trump.”
Because in Web headline writing, hyperbole means never having to say you didn’t get enough clicks.
