For those who miss it or don't do cable/HBO, he has a YouTube channel that posts the episodes next day.

because he attacks Democrats way to often for my taste and rarely goes after the GOP.

attacking Democrats that often. Today's show was an unpleasant surprise and I didn't like it.

the 'as usual part'. Yep, the GOP approves greatly of Democrats or those who they perceive as leftist media attacking Biden on the Afghanistan matter. On the other hand, I do not which is why I blocked Cable news permanently.

I’m a fan of Oliver’s. I don’t think he’s any kind of “rightie.”
