1. I'm glad he's back... Not overly excited about his guests this week, but...

2. I did remember that Jennifer Granholm was going to be on

She's always good. And I'm just glad he's finally back as well - there's been a lot going on!

3. Have missed Maher on Fridays.

[applegrove]

4. Yes. A great way to end a week of Trump caused Mayhem. Conservatives

often have to eat their words on the show. They don't get away. Such a release.

[Hoyt]

8. Yeah, they give conservatives a hard time. Not interested in watching FOX or anything, but I don't

mind listening to a few white wingers as long as they are outnumbered and get treated like they deserve if they spew too much BS.

5. I haven't had Maher or Colbert.

Fucking satellite companies and their broadcasting disputes.

[Hoyt]

6. Usually someone posts a link on DU a day or two after the show. I guess someone copies show and

puts on Youtube or something.

I'm getting close to cutting the cable, so I keep looking for alternatives when the time comes.

[Initech]

9. The only thing keeping me from cutting the cord is sports.

If I had CBS All Access and HBO Go, I could definitely stand to cut the cord. But MLB and their inane out of market policies on streaming are keeping me from doing so.

10. You can usually find links to maher's show here a day after.

[Initech]

13. I do get HBO so I'm good there.

It's not having access to Colbert and CBS that is really pissing me off.

[applegrove]

14. Yes. I can't quit my cable.

[Initech]

15. Sports is the only reason I can't.

Fox Sports One is the only way I can watch my local teams. But if I could get CBS, FX, HBO Go, and Netflix, I could easily ditch cable and go streaming or get all my shows from Google / iTunes.

16. I'm going to be a sports fan this NBA season. I enjoyed the playoffs this

year so much. Plus i played in highschool so i can follow. I was not very good except in the 1-3-1 press where i often stole the ball because i could see the guards telegraphing their plans. I'd wait until they were comitted to a play and run in from behind the receiver as they tried to pass. Such fun to watch basketball played so well. We'll see if i stay interested.

7. New drinking game

Take a shot every time Nader supporter Maher attacks Democrats or liberals . Two shots when he uses a right wing talking point to do so.

[applegrove]

11. I don't see that at all. And Maher and Michael Moore got down on their knees and begged

Nader not to run and he didn't.

[Trumpocalypse]

12. In 2004

after they supported Nader in 2000 and helped give us Bush.
