In reply to the discussion: Fuck Bill Maher....thought that needed a thread of it's own [View all]
AdamGG
(1,866 posts)112. Seriously, people like Steve Bannon and Roger Stone
and instead of nailing them with critical questions, Maher kisses their ass for having the courage to come into the "lions den" - a studio audience where like 1/3 of the people are professional laughers. One exception was when Milo Yianopoulis got eaten alive by Maher's panel (Larry Wilmore and Malcolm Nance). Maher had some good moments over the years, but he has long since jumped the shark.
The last straw for me was this year he went to meet with Dump because his "good friend" Kid Rock recommended it and then Maher spent his time normalizing Trump and saying that he's not a bad guy. Fuck him.

OP
He's also no friend to the Trans community and thinks that Milo (something-greek) "has a point there"...

I respect her immensely too and she was put in a tough position by not being able -- or willing -- to criticize Biden.

Kind of tough going from "people are starving and living paycheck to paycheck" to Biden's economy is fine.

History will judge. I did not see a great deal of threads here on DU warning us about Biden's age until that moment on

What I heard on a reputable podcast was that he was suffering from severe jetlag and someone had him take an Ambien.

He spent six days at Camp David prior to the debate - that should have been enough time to get over jetlag.

That's your issue. My issue is accuracy and intent of book, blaming Biden, how we lost, etc.

Rogan has gone on record saying why the interview didn't happen - she wouldn't do the standard three hour

He is a prime example of why two of the most qualified candidates lost. HRC and Kamala Harris are more qualified than

Whether we're talking Maher or some right-wing "conservative" pundit, you already know who they're going to emulate.

He is anything but funny. His ass really showed during the writer's strike. He couldn't come up with squat on his own.

I think it's because he's such a damn disappointment to a whole lot of people
