It was terrific as Oliver always is. However, why is it that the comedians are doing a better job at reporting what’s happening than mainstream news sources? Seth Myers, Jon Stewart & the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, Jon Oliver. They keep me sane.
Probably because we look to comedians on tv to entertain us with humorous takes on the obvious, while we expect and WANT our elected representatives & POTUS to be competent, intelligent and honest sans the jokes. The last POTUS that was competent, intelligent AND humorously entertaining was JFK. The closest we have to him is Joe Biden.
JFK was murdered for his honesty and intelligence. On 15 Nov. 1963 JFK stated " There's' a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." He was murdered on national TV on 22 Nov. 63 in Dallas, Tx. We'll probably never know the players in his murder but, Oswald did NOT act alone. However, America is dangerously close to this ENSLAVEMENT. Worse yet is so many Americans are clueless of their situation. I've been raising the depravity and ignorance of Americans on FB, different group, congress, and in my daily contacts. for years. Joe Biden is working to save us from ourselves but, many people say he's too old, etc. Yet, no one has come up with a suitable Dem replacement! After all, we couldn't possibly let VPOTUS Harris run instead!! Or anyone else!! As a retired Air Force vet, I feel betrayed! I've posted this many times on FB and other places "I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be a white man." PEACE!!
Exactly right, they all have the same script. I post on social media pages of every legislator in my state every day. Very often they post the exact wording on some topic and I always point it out. They are all circus performers, playing performance politics and have absolutely no plan to work for the American people or the country.
Jimmy Kimmel has been a warrior for democracy night in......night out. HIs recient intervieew with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was stellar and classy.
How he handled the text from 34-0 during the awards show was so brilliant.
Accuracy rings louder? The success of any project , as the formation of a paragraph , first sentence grab ps and last synapses the story. An over generalization for sure, but to engage the audience is paramount , hold their attention long enough to sell it and exit ( nowadays) within 30 seconds as attention spans are now that short. Point made.
The F schedule ( how appropriate) is the chute in this blanket game . Remember chutes and Ladders?
Buy in, give us your money. Now , climb the ladder again . No need for discernment or evaluation. Synapse: ‘Trust me’.
Has any society, body of leadership, or cult becoming mindless in its development , ever survived?
Ridicule the Wake up America (WOKE) is just part of: tactical maneuvers/F schedule.
Comedians throughout the ages have always done better. I try to avoid clichés, but there's no better way to convey tragedy than through comedy. OK, I avoided the cliché by putting it into my own words.
It’s true it was not. But I searched it out and found to watch before bed. I must say it only lead to a most unsettling night. It was not the first deeper dive into Project 2025 for me, but it was the first realization of just how thoroughly, deeply and committed so many have been/are to this destructive dark vision. Bone chilling.
I don't think people understand how big the right wing movement is. It is being downplayed just like Hitler was in the 1930s. As Oliver said at the end, they don't need Trump. You couldn't say that about Hitler. We are in much deeper trouble than post-Weimar Germany. Our fascists have all the money and power they need. And our outrage has done nothing to slow them down. Even if Democrats sweep the elections, the Republican cancer will not go away.
Trump is just the attention getting clown the right wing is using to get a following among the dupes who no knowing. Have you seen any of them wear a MAGA hat? Do you know last I heard there are 100 right wing supporters of Project 2025. Download Project 2025 from the Heritage Foundation. It is at least 920 pages long but can be summarized in many places. Do you know Timothy Mellon just donated $50 million to Trump? Mellon’s a Pennsylvania swing state right wing operative. Corporations and billionaires own us but that’s nothing new. Unlike the scare tactics of the corporate media there are many organizations of young people who are very active. Support them. Don’t waste a second trying to convert right wingers. Wake up, people. Get out the vote. As Simon Rosenberg (Hopium) says “Work more! Worry less.”
Thanks for posting. It’s nasty stuff. Lots of old junk in it. They want to do away with the Dept of Education (!probably why Carter lost to Ron?), but at least half the states would pursue liberal ideas so aren’t they losing control?
Cannot give this a LIKE because I hate the thought but you are so right. Do we have to wait years for common sense to prevail as it did with Joe McCarthy? The msm were sick of the story and put HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY on their front pages. The same could have been done with tffg🤡🎃💩 long ago— starting with the brilliant impeachment trials. And ps— tffg got 50 million from 1 person? Could that be part of the problem ? DUH. 😤🤬😖😡
The authors of Project 2025 are well aware of Trump’s mental decline and the cabal of acolytes like Stone, Bannon, Navarro and Miller will be ready to jump in to take over the reins of government when it becomes obvious that Trump is unfit to remain in public life. The VP will be relegated to taking their orders while Trump will be playing in his playpen.
When Project 2025 can be publicly published, there is no possibility that it will be swept away in any one election cycle. Our situation is as bad or worse than Nazism. Been sayin' that since 2016. The very fact that Trump is still running says it all. It's much bigger than anyone realizes.
Yes. I’ve only recently realized how deep the craziness goes thanks to Heather Cox Richardson and Rachel Maddow and others— the holier than thou racism and need to be superior and greed.
“As Oliver said at the end, they don't need Trump.” Right on! Just a symptom he is and has been. And like cancer, we love it into non-existence for our children’s children’s future, by wholing the unexamined spaces within.
John Oliver has a unique way of hammering home stark, scary realities. This piece was one of his most alarming. Wake up America before we cease to exist as the country we know.
Thank you Joyce for all you are doing to make us understand where we are and what’s on the other side of the barrel, because this is what it is beginning to feel like. Glad we’re in this together.
Thank you Joyce, John Oliver does a superb job. My main take away is we have a long term problem which will not fade away with the defeat of DJT. These people want minority rule and have the plan to bring it on.
John Oliver defined Project 2025 brilliantly and scared me at the same time. I knew about it but when defined in reality, it hit home as to what life in America would be like with ultra right conservatives left to change it to their liking. Frightening! I shared this dialogue but with people that believe as I do which doesn’t help. If I shared it with those I know support Trump, their take would be it’s just another liberal way of slamming Republicans. I do believe the media needs to stop talking 100% about Trump and start talking about Project 2025 and how this policy planning will change America…how dangerous it would be….how chaotic…how so many human rights will be eliminated…Trump is not the only danger, he’s a puppet pawn under their spell. I’m pretty sure they can’t wait to get rid of him but after they’ve achieved their goals and implementing 2025. Joyce…if you have any sway with Nicole Wallace, Katy or MSNBC anywhere, I have turned off the show after a few minutes of watching because I am so tired of hearing just about Trump. We know how bad he is…MSNBC IS SPEAKING TO THE CHOIR. Tell us more about Project 2025 and PLEASE don’t put Trumps picture up a thousand times during the show! I just turn it off now because it’s repetitive and repulsive. Thanks for listening to my frustrations and keep up the good work that you do. I don’t miss a single read..and the daily read gives me all the update that I need without bringing my spirit into a frenzy😊
You bring up exactly what I've been thinking about re: MSNBC. I used to enjoy the show, but, sadly, the civility and discussions which I savor, aren't working. I want to know how to get Aileen Cannon off the FL case when bias is so evident. Who is working on that? I want to hear John Roberts defend why Thomas and Alito are still on the court after such egregious ethics violations. The court should be answering to the American people right now. I want to know how Merchan will justify not sending preditor of the united states to prison after a jury of our own citizens reviewed the evidence and found him guilty. Justice works if THE JURY's finding is validated in the sentencing. What other ideas can we give to Nicole Wallace?!
Totally agree!! I’ve started to glaze over a lot of the MSNBC news shows because it’s nonstop Trump and/or pearl clenching about Biden being too old. And what happened to Ari Melber?? He’s now into long pontificating monologues (and fewer guests) that go on and on. Or he invites despicable trump allies on to spew their poison. WTF!
I have been looking for the right place to express my concern.
Who is to say the MAGAs won’t attempt to forcibly take over the government in November just after the election? They keep rattling their swords. They have Mike Johnson in place to possibly allow this to happen in advance of allowing the electoral votes to be certified. If the current president and vp are somewhat indisposed, he is next in line. They cheated then and failed, they may employ other methods including violence for certain to overtake a free and fair election regardless of who is elected.
My second question as a 4th generation Asian American, who is to say someone could knock on my door, remove me forcefully and attempt to deport me because of how I look? I have family member some deceased, others in my generation who spent some part of their lives in Japanese internment camps all over the US, so this is not being overly paranoid.
The father of my 2 oldest granddaughters was from El Salvador. They both look like their father. Neither speaks Spanish. I have concerns about their safety should the orange one get back in. Will they be targeted for deportation even though they were born and raised here? It’s all getting very scary. Kills me when people say voting doesn’t matter. Sadly, my stepson, who retired from the Army, is one of those who doesn’t vote. To say that infuriates us is an understatement.
Happened to my grandparents who were Jewish. My mother’s parents. They were gassed at the camp called Chelmno, located in Poland in 1942. Yes, very frightening and that is why we simply cannot let these maniacal, so-called religious Christian nationalists come anywhere near winning any elections.
I’m glad Project 2025 is finally receiving attention. I’ve sent the document to several people suggesting they read the intro, rather than trying to swallow the whole thing. Some have tried. We need more attention to this plan.
Thanks to fabulous, smart Substack writers Project 2025 has been public for at least a year. They are saying clear as a bell what the goals of the right wing Christian Nationalists are. Never seeing it in corporate MSM even yet I have cancelled all these publications. For some I have been a reader for more than 50 years. They have been selling us down the river for decades. Note that most are now owned by billionaires and NEPO babies. Pretty much know nothings.
Our children and grandchildren will pay for this dearly.
Thank you Joyce. I have been speaking to people about project 2025 and the response has been that I am totally out of My Mind. This made for a good share. VOTE BLUE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN and VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, The Best Choice
The last person I spoke with, a woman I know thru after school activities, for our children who are now grown. She said she was so confused. she didn't know what to believe regarding what each candidate was standing for or saying. Had never heard of Project 2025. This is a working person who doesn't have much time to pay attention to the news. We were waiting in the same place and spoke about 20 minutes. I had someone stop to speak to me regarding my Biden-Harris bumper sticker on my truck, saying I was 'brave'. It is starting to come around, an example this John Oliver video. I have expressed many of the views shared in the video and been told, I don't know what I am speaking about. Time will tell VOTE BLUE
I have been thinking that one of the news organizations should go chapter by chapter thru the Project 2025 Manifesto. Even a newspaper could do it. Much like the days when novels were shared chapter by chapter.
I find this so deeply disturbing. I want to grab my friends, who say they will vote for Trump because they “like his policies” by the collar and shake them until their teeth rattle. They have no idea what his policies are. And they are too lazy or indifferent to educate themselves. I know we are in this together, but are there enough of us?
Did they really like separating children from parents? Lying about covid being gone by Easter and killing a million Americans in the end? Did they like being taxed through TARIFFS on the goods after the goods arrive & then go onto the shelves?
Did they like & agree with ignorant people instead of listening to doctors & scientists? How about that policy of Giving the incomprehensibly wealthy & corporations Huge tax breaks that added Trillions to the deficit that adds to inflation & Interest rates. Banning people from travel because of where they live or their religion- a quality policy. Working at & trying to take away healthcare for people with preexisting conditions & impoverish the elderly by cutting social security; another great trump policy. Or maybe they like the racism and sexism he stands for, proudly. And then let’s ask if they like the Supreme Court Justices he’s put in place that have destroyed personal rights, especially for women.
Please Ask - wait for an answer- just which policies Do They Like, because millions of us wonder!
Complicit cowardice, is a sad place to have people you like sitting in.
As we all know now, politics impacts everyone and all our lives. Local, state & federal. From rising prices & interest rates to health care. Uncontrolled Corporate greed, once controlled by anti-trust laws & courts willing to hold them to account would be a grand bargain again.
Isn’t it sad that friends refuse to engage in discussions about their own lives & futures and the future their children and grandchildren & planet we’re going to live on!?!?!!!!
Lookie here… Oh, and I can’t wait to read about this dystopian and dysfunctional and disgusting and dangerous and disgusting (oh I said that already) diatribe. Maybe I should first watch Alford Hitchcock’s “Psycho” followed by “The Shining” then read Project 2025. That outta do it.
Thank you so much for the continued information concerning Project 2025. It’s so very important! I saw the subject of your interview wearing a VOTE t shirt. Does anyone know where I can purchase a t shirt like that one????
Post the YouTube video relentlessly. Find the simple talking points and repeat them as much as possible. This needs to go viral (it’s on it’s way, thankfully…)
It was terrific as Oliver always is. However, why is it that the comedians are doing a better job at reporting what’s happening than mainstream news sources? Seth Myers, Jon Stewart & the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, Jon Oliver. They keep me sane.
I'm hoping people who don't devote much time to traditional media will get their news from late night.
Probably because we look to comedians on tv to entertain us with humorous takes on the obvious, while we expect and WANT our elected representatives & POTUS to be competent, intelligent and honest sans the jokes. The last POTUS that was competent, intelligent AND humorously entertaining was JFK. The closest we have to him is Joe Biden.

I've posted this many times on FB and other places "I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be a white man." PEACE!!
My view is that politicians lapse into Poli-speak and sound like they're reciting bullet points from a campaign event.
Because they *are* reciting bullet points.
The comedians tell the story without the rah-rah-rah that nobody wants to listen to.
Exactly right, they all have the same script. I post on social media pages of every legislator in my state every day. Very often they post the exact wording on some topic and I always point it out. They are all circus performers, playing performance politics and have absolutely no plan to work for the American people or the country.
Let’s not leave out Jimmy Kimmel who knows how to get under the felon’s thin skin. We watch them all.
Jimmy Kimmel has been a warrior for democracy night in......night out. HIs recient intervieew with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was stellar and classy.
How he handled the text from 34-0 during the awards show was so brilliant.
Totally agree!
Well, Betsy, Comedy can be a form of Truth Telling such as the Life & Times of Lenny Bruce in the nondescript years of the 1950's.
I did not hear OLIVER offer any new name for "Project 25" ;--(
Anybody have some suggestions?
The facts about "Schedule F" offers a number of ideas. "Project F... everyone over?
Jimmy Kimmel as well
Accuracy rings louder? The success of any project , as the formation of a paragraph , first sentence grab ps and last synapses the story. An over generalization for sure, but to engage the audience is paramount , hold their attention long enough to sell it and exit ( nowadays) within 30 seconds as attention spans are now that short. Point made.
The F schedule ( how appropriate) is the chute in this blanket game . Remember chutes and Ladders?
Buy in, give us your money. Now , climb the ladder again . No need for discernment or evaluation. Synapse: ‘Trust me’.
Has any society, body of leadership, or cult becoming mindless in its development , ever survived?
Ridicule the Wake up America (WOKE) is just part of: tactical maneuvers/F schedule.
💙💙VOTE OUT ALL THE COMPLICIT💙💙
Comedians throughout the ages have always done better. I try to avoid clichés, but there's no better way to convey tragedy than through comedy. OK, I avoided the cliché by putting it into my own words.
And Jimmy Kimmel….
Brilliant! Thank you Staying Curious!!
I canceled my subscription to NYTimes, they started joining the right-wing media coverage and I refuse to be part of it. Still have WaPo.
Love Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel
Here is the entire John Oliver piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYwqpx6lp_s

Thanks for posting. It’s nasty stuff. Lots of old junk in it. They want to do away with the Dept of Education (!probably why Carter lost to Ron?), but at least half the states would pursue liberal ideas so aren’t they losing control?
The largest and most insidious plan is to gut the civil service of non-partisan employees and replace them with loyal MAGA republicans.
Next is to remake the DOJ into a punitive enforcement arm of the Executive, instead of an independent judicial agency.
The FBI will be tasked with rooting out enemies of the Executive, not enemies of the State, like domestic terrorism & espionage.
A playbook for autocracy.
Cannot give this a LIKE because I hate the thought but you are so right. Do we have to wait years for common sense to prevail as it did with Joe McCarthy?

So true! It defies historical precedent. Unless it IS historical precedent. Which is probably the case. Have humans learned absolutely nothing?
The authors of Project 2025 are well aware of Trump’s mental decline and the cabal of acolytes like Stone, Bannon, Navarro and Miller will be ready to jump in to take over the reins of government when it becomes obvious that Trump is unfit to remain in public life. The VP will be relegated to taking their orders while Trump will be playing in his playpen.
Yes, they have a deep bench.
So, we keep sweeping, a job that requires our attention all the time, not just when it reaches a boiling point. Teach your children.
When Project 2025 can be publicly published, there is no possibility that it will be swept away in any one election cycle. Our situation is as bad or worse than Nazism. Been sayin' that since 2016. The very fact that Trump is still running says it all. It's much bigger than anyone realizes.
Yes. I’ve only recently realized how deep the craziness goes thanks to Heather Cox Richardson and Rachel Maddow and others— the holier than thou racism and need to be superior and greed.
Reelecting President Biden will slow down the metastasis while we continue working to strengthen the ranks of those working to save our democracy.
“As Oliver said at the end, they don't need Trump.” Right on! Just a symptom he is and has been. And like cancer, we love it into non-existence for our children’s children’s future, by wholing the unexamined spaces within.
But we don't yet know at what cost or how many deaths will follow from this cancer. We are nowhere near an end point.
Excellent, spot on. Kudos to John Oliver. Chilling part at the end about the risk of Project 2029. These Heritage menaces will not go away easily.
And so why is it that these "people" are in charge ?
ELECTORAL COLLEGE
John Oliver has a unique way of hammering home stark, scary realities. This piece was one of his most alarming. Wake up America before we cease to exist as the country we know.
Thank you Joyce for all you are doing to make us understand where we are and what’s on the other side of the barrel, because this is what it is beginning to feel like. Glad we’re in this together.
Here is the non-Xitter YouTube video:
https://youtu.be/gYwqpx6lp_s?t=50
Thank you!
Thanks! I don’t do xitter.
Thank you Joyce, John Oliver does a superb job. My main take away is we have a long term problem which will not fade away with the defeat of DJT. These people want minority rule and have the plan to bring it on.
Jane Meyers "Dark Money", is the go to for the history that has brought us to Project 2025.
Having read this when it came out, the horror of this plan, sadly is not a suprise.
One last thought.......Mad Magazine and the "usual gang of idots" would have ripped Project 2025 apart piece by piece. Alfred E Newman...RIP
John Oliver defined Project 2025 brilliantly and scared me at the same time.

Joyce…if you have any sway with Nicole Wallace, Katy or MSNBC anywhere, I have turned off the show after a few minutes of watching because I am so tired of hearing just about Trump. We know how bad he is…MSNBC IS SPEAKING TO THE CHOIR. Tell us more about Project 2025 and PLEASE don’t put Trumps picture up a thousand times during the show! I just turn it off now because it’s repetitive and repulsive. Thanks for listening to my frustrations and keep up the good work that you do.

Justice works if THE JURY's finding is validated in the sentencing. What other ideas can we give to Nicole Wallace?!
Absolutely agree about the trajectory of MSNBC! Repeatedly sharing Biden's accomplishments would be much more effective!!
I so agree with this comment… enough with all the pictures of Trump. Tell us about Project 2025
Totally agree!! I’ve started to glaze over a lot of the MSNBC news shows because it’s nonstop Trump and/or pearl clenching about Biden being too old. And what happened to Ari Melber?? He’s now into long pontificating monologues (and fewer guests) that go on and on. Or he invites despicable trump allies on to spew their poison. WTF!

Thank you Joyce. I have been speaking to people about project 2025 and the response has been that I am totally out of My Mind. This made for a good share. VOTE BLUE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN and VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, The Best Choice

No kidding.

I love your answer but they stubbornly refuse to engage. It is their policy to hide behind, "I don't want to discuss politics." So cowardly.
Complicit cowardice, is a sad place to have people you like sitting in.
As we all know now, politics impacts everyone and all our lives. Local, state & federal. From rising prices & interest rates to health care. Uncontrolled Corporate greed, once controlled by anti-trust laws & courts willing to hold them to account would be a grand bargain again.
Isn’t it sad that friends refuse to engage in discussions about their own lives & futures and the future their children and grandchildren & planet we’re going to live on!?!?!!!!
I’m glad you’re here with us.
Lookie here… Oh, and I can’t wait to read about this dystopian and dysfunctional and disgusting and dangerous and disgusting (oh I said that already) diatribe. Maybe I should first watch Alford Hitchcock’s “Psycho” followed by “The Shining” then read Project 2025. That outta do it.
No cinematic nightmare can compare to the present danger of Republican politics.
Thanks for the laugh!
John Oliver is brilliant because he tells it like it is- no bullshit!!!
Thank you so much for the continued information concerning Project 2025. It’s so very important! I saw the subject of your interview wearing a VOTE t shirt. Does anyone know where I can purchase a t shirt like that one????
I wish there were a way to force-feed the Oliver segment to every “undecided” voter!!! Can only pray that Biden is powerful in the debate.
Post the YouTube video relentlessly. Find the simple talking points and repeat them as much as possible. This needs to go viral (it’s on it’s way, thankfully…)
Yes!!
