State Legislatures and ALEC: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
While midterm coverage is largely focused on the parts of Congress that do very little, vital (and bizarre) midterm elections are going unexamined. State legislators pass a lot of bills, and some of that efficiency is thanks to a group called ALEC that writes legislation for them. It’s as shady as it sounds!

Man . . . One thing I noticed, he must've had Invisalign. Now, John's teeth are straight. He must've done that cuz he needed it, but he looked like a cute dork. 😻 Well, at least his teeth are straight now. :/

In 4th grade in NH we took a field trip to the state house and we sat in court room with all 400 legislative and watch them pass a bill about a sign in a park that nobody knew about for 2 hours

@LastWeekTonight Actually when you fail an integrity test its generally because your were telling the truth. Integrity tests are a trap, and they pretty much only trap stupid people. They are great at weeding out potential problems who think they will gain an upper hand by responding with truthful answers. Trust me when I say failing an integrity test while cheating would make you several standard deviations from the mean in intelligence, if you even had the ability to think about cheating as an option(which I doubt you would). #Iknowitsjustajoke #Donthatemeforruiningit

"Theres no conflict."??? You moron!!!

Putting ALEC on par with "...pieces of shit..." is terse yet succinct, flavorful and profound. John Oliver and the writers are, to coin a phrase...FUCKING GENIUSES!!!
