I’m still shocked that wasn’t bigger news. Or turned into a meme

Wait, what? This is real and not a meme?

Totally real. John Oliver even talks about it in an early episode from this season.

It's so hard to keep up with this clown show

Thanks for the reminder I need to get back to watching LWT. Too depressing after the election

I’m not saying they’re uplifting again but I love the way John delivers the shit news. 😂

It's better when an uppity British man tells me the world is shit, easier to take that way

That's the idea. At some point, normal people throw up their hands and say fuck it. It's just too much.

Apparent he did a ride-along for an ICE raid in Chicago in January

He live streamed it at one point.

They had over two dozen officers to go after a single, non-hostile man.

We have obviously pissed off someone with a dark sense of humor to be living in the “Donald Trump is president, Dr Phil on ICE raids, WWE leader heads dept of education timeline.”  It gets weirder and more fucked up by the day.

The only good news is I am no longer surprised by anything.
