Last night's Last Week Tonight this week: Here’s last night’s story about the rising prominence of extremist beliefs within the Republican Party, what it has to do with the upcoming elections, and why being 31 years old is one of the least cute ages you can possibly be.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver@lastweektonight.com

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

The US government operates in the interests of America's fiercest enemy and against the interests of Americans. And against US allies. European nations are now former allies. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social: "Trump is a Russian asset… Putin is one of the only world leaders he’s never fallen out with."

My political education began in Brazil, where I lived from 1989-91. I learnt that the only defence we have is "conscientizaçao": raising awareness about the relations between exploiters and exploited, and the violence that underpins them. The Brazilians have once again demonstrated its power. ✊❤️‍🔥

I’m sure Trump won’t claim the Brazil election was rigged because something like that would be out of character for him.

my favourite ever news headline and story: Young girl blown out to sea on set of inflatable teeth rescued by man on inflatable lobster A coast-guard spokesman commented: "This sort of thing is all too common these days." 6th story down, but they're all very funny.

After a heavy drinking session in Weymouth in August 1990, 51 year old Philip Pyne fancied a kip on a bench. To stop himself rolling off, he put 12 nails through his trousers and in the process, drove several of them through his leg. Fortunately he was discovered by police.

An operation at Nottingham hospital in Jan 1989 ended prematurely when the patient exploded. The casualty, an 82-year-old woman, was undergoing electrosurgery for cancer. The blast was attributed to an unusual build-up of stomach gases ignited by the sparks. ——— Did I say they were all very funny?

An elderly woman at a unit for sufferers of senile dementia passed round a box of mothballs thinking that they were mints. Eleven people were taken to hospital for treatment.

Following drinking binge in Christchurch, New Zealand, Koto Salaki passed out - so his buddies stripped him and shaved off his eyebrows as a joke. Getting no reaction, they proceeded to cut off his ear and glue it onto his forehead. Doctors managed to sew it back on.

An Austrian circus dwarf died recently when he bounced sideways from a trampoline and was swallowed by a hippopotamus. Seven thousand people watched as little Franz Dasch popped into the mouth of Hilda the Hippo and the animal's gag reflex forced it to swallow...

...The crowd applauded wildly before other circus people realised what had happened.

A sex line caller complained to trading standards. Dialling a number from an ad entitled "Hear Me Moan" the caller was played a tape of a woman nagging her husband for not doing jobs around the house. Consumer watchdogs in Dorset refused to look into the complaint, saying: "He got what he deserved."

The bank has now asked him to close his account, and Mr Bastards has asked them to repay the 69p balance by cheque, made out in his new name."
