#EndorseThis: John Oliver Declares War On Robocalls

Do you hate robocalls? Still plagued by the spoofing tactics used by robocallers to penetrate your Caller ID defenses? John Oliver shares your angst.

He wants to use their own scam against them — or against the Federal Communications Commission, especially its chair, Republican Ajit Pai, for enabling them to continue.

Oliver also took a moment on Sunday’s show to mock Trump for signing those Bibles in Alabama. “I am not remotely surprised that Trump did that,” says Oliver.  “I’m just slightly confused as to why anyone would want him to — because seeing Trump’s autograph on a Bible should be like seeing a picture of your own Mom on the cover of a Penthouse magazine.” He predicts a dire fate for those who continue to use those sullied Scriptures.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
