This clip from last night’s Last Week Tonight includes two great things: First up is an update on coal CEO Bob Murray’s defamation suit against the HBO show, which was recently dismissed by a judge after months of public and hilarious updates. Oliver said he’s been advised not to say much about the case for the time being, but a more comprehensive update (featuring the big “Eat Shit, Bob!” squirrel, of course) is on the way: “Now is not the time for victory laps. It is not a time for gloating, it’s not a time for saying ‘Hey, we won’ and just rubbing it in the face of the person who lost over and over again. That time will come – oh, it will come!”
After the Bob Murray update, Oliver recapped last week’s news, the gun control debate, and Trump’s suggestion to prevent future school shootings by giving teachers guns – an idea that didn’t exactly get a warm reaction when he pitched it during his “listening session” with students and parents last week: “That is Donald Trump in a nutshell: proposing a terrible idea in a tone-deaf way then refusing to acknowledge he just lost the popular vote.”
