On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, ahead of the crucial midterm elections, John Oliver focused on Trump’s brutal family separation policy—how it happened (“incompetently and cruelly”), and why (racism!).

Justin Bieber, who is 24 and not a person who eats his burritos sideways, is dogged by the feeling that “something is missing” from his young life, some inexplicable absence which prevents him from experiencing full happiness.
