Bill Maher Sends Blunt Message to People Constantly Bashing Donald TrumpBill Maher sent a blunt message to people who constantly hate on President Donald Trump during a conversation with Full House star John Stamos.
On the December 29 episode of Mahers Club Random podcast, the Real Time With Bill Maher host and Stamos chatted about a number of topics. Stamos, 62, at one point, brought up Maher, 69, having dinner at the White House with Trump, 79.
All Im saying is he was extremely different, Maher said of meeting the POTUS in person. Maybe Im the Trump whisperer. But I think we would do a lot better to have more people like me talk to him. Hes not against talking to people.
The late-night host added, Hes a guy from New York, OK? He doesnt want to be with a bunch of f***ing rednecks and simpletons. Does he like ass-kissers? Yes, he does. So, theres always going to be a couple of them around.

If he was just a tabloid personality instead of POTUS you might have a point Maher. But instead, his incompetence and meanness affect most of us.
Guess you're wealthy enough to not get hurt by it.

He should be ashamed that he sounds so stupid given that he has access to every bit of information we all had.

(67,890 posts)I'm a little tired of these discussions about what Bill Maher says about anything. He does this so we will talk about him and be aware of him. I don't watch him now and don't plan to watch him again in the future.

(8,297 posts)Trump has NOTHING to do with NYC at all other than the people he shafted, the black kids he demonized.
I am not from NY, but think I get them. NY peeps are insanely proud of their city, you can be exactly what you want to be and no one will give you shit, it's a place full of people LOTS of people and tons of amazing shit to do, you can experience so much in NY within 3 blocks then it feels like you traveled 100 miles. Whatever you fancy you can get it...food, culture, arts, music, you name it, the world ---or NY --- is your oyster. Maybe the LEAST monolithic place on planet earth. NY wants variance and SORRY Pal, NY loves them some diversity, because maybe that doesn't make it "better" (I argue it does) or "more right", but it sure as fuck makes it more interesting.
Donald Trump is a poser. He isn't NY, ever. I have visited NY multiple times, I honestly don't like people, but goddamn I love me some NY. If I have mis-cast New York set me straight.

(25,717 posts)Does he think all New Yorkers are high brow and all red necks are rock stupid. Yes, Maher does, because he lives in his own bubble world of 1950 stereotypes. Sad really.

(128 posts)a bubble boy. What does he know about "regular folks"? He says he gets around and knows what people are thinking. Someone needs to tell him that playing comedy gigs from a stage to crowds isn't the same as mingling with people in "real life" situations. Neither is interviewing other celebs during podcasts. He's not a "Trump Whisperer"; he's just another guy Trump duped! The Orange Menace is at least a flaming sociopath, if not a true psychopath. Trump is what he says and does, not what Maher saw for a couple of hours one night.
trying his hardest to be relevant.....he's just a propagandist.........pay no attention, he's not worth it

(10,453 posts)it would get a lot of attention....that is amplified on social media. This is the world we live in today, and it leads to constant bickering, usually over simplistic BS, while the real problems go on without notice.
It does lead to an avenue to vent so I guess it does have some merit - but very little in my opinion.

(23,551 posts)Donald J Trump represents the most successful spy operation of all time. And thanks to Just-us John Roberts redefining the meaning of "Insurrection" and the very words of the Constitution of the United States of America, an active Russian agent has been allowed to return to the Oval Office to again "serve" as the pee-resident.

Normally, I'd say: "Think about that!" But, destroying truth is what tyrants do. It's why they hate a free press.
It's why trumpf is doing all he can to sue anyone who ever wrote anything bad about him. Now he has the DoJ doing his dirty work and handing the legal bill to the U.S. taxpayer.
The photo of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and dip above was taken by TASS, the official Russian news agency. The US media were not informed about the 2017 visit. We learned about it because the Unstable Moron himself spread the pic proudly on social media.
How many people do you know whove seen that picture or the one below, taken on an earlier date in the Oval Office? Again, very few.

I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.
"I'm not under investigation," he added.

And this is the man leading the "restructuring of American government" today winking at Putin at a diplomatic affair during his first madministration.

Theres a reason why Putin, the Kremlin and the GRU and whatever the KGB is called these days call him "America's Gorbachev." Gorby sped up the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Now Putin returns the favor through Trump and his destruction of America's economy, hailed just before the 2024 election by The Economist as "The Envy of the World."
And I will always bash those who sexually exploit children, as well.
