Two reasons to watch John Oliver comparing Hilary Clinton’s and Donald Trump’s scandals

john-oliver-and-brett-lamb-drawing

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver and Brett Lamb’s illustration.

The two reasons are:

  1. It does a very good job of pointing out the differences between the scandals of Hilary Clinton (some of what she’s done should concern you) and Donald Trump (a lot of what’s he’s done should have you deeply worried that he’s this close to the presidency, and that’s just the stuff we know about right now), and
  2. It features a pukey illustration describing the 2016 election that was illustrated by my friend, Toronto-based artist Brett Lamb. Nicely done, Brett!

Thanks to Andy Walker for the find!

This damned thing is a dozen paces from my window and has been going BEEP BEEP BEEP since 7:30 this morning (it’s about 11:00 a.m. now). I’d be covered under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” laws if I shot it, right?
