Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - Mike Pence



Mike Pence is much more unlikable than his pet rabbit who stars in a new children's book created by the Pence family and in a better children's book created by us. To purchase our book, visit: www.betterbundobook.com

And, amazingly, now there is finally just one thing I like about Mike Pence! Of course we know that Trump doesn't approve of pets - called them "low class" when he heard the Pence family had them. There is still not one thing I will ever like about Trump!

I had a friend with two bunnies who were litter box trained - they can be great pets! Except I already have a dog and a cat...

In 20 minutes, I would have liked to have seen more than just that he's anti-LGBT rights, he's religious, he's against women in the military, and he won't call Trump out on his lies. If that's the worst you can say about him, he'd be better than most Republicans. He's not.

To give to grandchild. It sounds funny audio but for a child i want pics.

What I loved was the amazon reviews, even the 1 star ones were for the book and just to piss off Pence.

John Oliver can turn something awful into pure joy. Marlon Bundo is inspired!

I ordered one anyway, despite my anger with Amazon over their advertising on Breitfart and supporting NRA-tv.
It’ll get here when it gets here, and will make a great gift (once I’ve read it).

(Wish I could add a screenshot of the Amazon page: Best Seller!)

Eat 🐇 💩, Pence!

I wanted to write this review to make clear to the homophobes that you're on the wrong side of history. All in all, it was a great book and the fact that it is outselling a religious bigots daughter is hilarious.

I'm 22, have no kids, and no real need for this book. However, it is amazing! It's a cute story that is well written and illustrated.

Additionally, all proceeds go directly to charity. All sales go directly to pissing off Mike Pence. 5 stars

Far from being just a gimmick this book is actually worth reading, in and of itself. I especially like that the stink bug is not in charge anymore.

5.0 out of 5 starsYou must buy this book.
Byjaxelradon March 20, 2018

Buying this book is an act of joyous resistance to the Trump/Pence cancer infecting our political discourse. You should buy it for the good of your soul. (BTW, it's actually quite a nice book that I'd be delighted to read to a young child AND the profits go to worthwhile charities.)

5.0 out of 5 starsCongrats to the happy couple.

I am not a child nor do I have children. I bought this book to support the charities mentioned on the Ellen show. I read the book and like that there is a very positive message for children. As a bonus I love that it is out-selling the book by Karen Pence.

I started reading the reviews, but only the one-star reviews.
Where it was clear that the reviewer had not even read the book, but was just spouting anti-LGBT gibberish, I marked the review as "Not helpful." There were a few like the one you cited, where the reviewer was disappointed that it sold out, or was obviously using sarcasm to troll the RWNJs, but most got a "Not helpful" rating from me. I would encourage others to do likewise, and mark as many of the five-star reviews as "Helpful."

Have the other sellers listed on the BetterBundoBook.com webpage sold out as well?

Resistance is fun, not futile!

And those were the ones that I posted. With the exception of the one-star review because the book had sold out and only a couple from obvious RWers (one said they were ordering the "real book" - so why "review" a book they hadn't read??), they all had five stars and praised the book, the ones I posted were the more amusing ones.

And I did check BetterBundoBook.com, but it doesn't look like it's sold there, they recommended where it is sold including Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
