“You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: ‘If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are f—ed,'” Oliver said during the program, which largely covered immigration enforcement and president Donald Trump’s mass deportation promise.

“Now, I’m not saying that ICE isn’t finding people,” he continued. “I’m just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, The Dog Who Saved the Holidays, The Dog Who Saved Halloween, The Dog Who Saved Easter and The Dog Who Saved Summer, maybe you are in trouble. Although, on the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are f—ing zero.”

He added later, “And I recognize that in some cases, you may be unable to help yourself from saying: ‘Didn’t you use to be Superman? I thought you died. I can’t believe I’m meeting a filmmaker.'”

since pretending to be Superman. I won't even be charitable and say he's "gained weight" or that he "played" Superman, because we all know there was only one Superman, and he's dead. (Sorry, Henry Cavill, but you don't make it either.)

Another example of somebody who has lived a very privileged life and lacking in empathy, kicking those who are less fortunate.

The reason those ICE Gestapo types are wearing masks is because they are doing something illegal and they know it's illegal.

If they were acting within their oaths and according to the mission of their organization, they could be proud of their service.

As it is, they're ashamed and fearful and they should be.
