We have to fight and play tough and stay that way! I am sick of loosing to cheaters over and over. I don't say we should cheat but we could be a lot more tough, we don't have a choice anymore. We are losing this country and it will only get worse. Now everyone can say nasty things about my opinion, oh well.

Bill Maher is an entertainer. His loyalty is to Bill Maher.

Michael Moore is an entertainer. His loyalty is to Michael Moore.

They are no smarter than you. They have no portfolio, just their own opinions. The difference is the amplification of those opinions supported by staffers.

My personal opinion of Maher is that he's a boor. He can be very funny, but in the end, he's a boor.

My personal opinion of Moore is that he's a concern . . . . uh . . . . person. I don't think he's a troll even though I think he shares with them a few traits.

And he pointed out the damaging positions some left Dems have staked out for the campaign. Paying for sex changes for inmates? Seriously? Warren thinks this position helps defeat Trump? And I agree with Beto on tax exempt status for churches who discriminate, but it's a terrible position for an election.

Beating Trump is the only thing that matters. Biden isn't the only one who can beat Trump, but the more left leaning candidates sure do make a good argument that he is when they stake out some of these positions.

Post something without any context or something that is clearly out of context, followed by a bunch of people who agree without any context, or agree based on second hand information.

Listen to the first 10 minutes of the show tonight and tell me where he has trashed any liberals. If one is talking about Congressman Katie Hill, where is the trashing part of telling the exact truth? Is anyone naive enough to think that the mainstream media will not even mention this? It usually boils down to certain people being too thin-skinned to handle the truth, and hating someone for stating those truths.

"Already there are people mad at you because you said some nice things, sort of, about Roger Ailes. And this is something you and I both face. Because we platform people, Chris. In other words, we give people we don't agree with a chance to speak. And there's a lot of liberals who hate that because you should only talk amongst people who already agree with you. I mean, they hate you because you're friends with Kelly Ann Conway and have her on."

Chris: "I wish that were the only thing. I'm so surprised when anyone is nice to me."

Later in the show Zach Galifianakis talks about the same thing. Social media.

Many discussions here are just killing the messenger, saying how they hate whoever said something without even listening to the program. No discussion about what actually was said. Just, "I hate that person/source and never listen to anything they say." Black or white, good or bad. I don't understand it.

.... for proving me right once again. You're mad because he told the truth? Liberals are not perfect people, and we are not saints, although some people tend to believe they are. Bill Maher has conservatives on his show all the time, and he engages with them. Although he may agree with some talking points, for the most part he is diametrically opposed to most right-wing opinions. I think you are just mad because his show is not a complete love fest for liberals. Bill Maher haters seem to be gluttons for punishment. Otherwise they wouldn't even watch the damn show.

Then, you change your timeline for trashing Democrats to 2 minutes into the interview with Cuomo. He didn't, even through the entire interview. I can prove that also because, why? The damn video is right here in this thread for everyone to see.

That's two falsehoods you have offered in this thread, and once again I'm going to ask you....

To deny that IS denying reality.

A bit during New Rules, but it was not out of line and frustratingly true. I wish the OP would elaborate.

an expletive is needed to modify the word comedian when describing Bill Maher. The expletive I think works better is shitty, as in Bill Maher is a shitty comedian.
