I'm just about fed up with Bill Maher

The guy just needs to come out of the closet right now as a right-wing Republican and wear his MAGA hat on this show. Here's a review of some of his most recent stuff.

YouTube

Here he downplays the importance of finding a candidate with the most genuine sympathy to marginalized groups and not just those that adopted policy changes with the

YouTube

Here he says mass shooters kill people because the hot chick won't **** fat gamer geeks.

YouTube

And this one right here takes the cake. BDS is a "purity test"? Is he nuts? And he suggest people don't like Israel because oppression against white people or something.

Just what's this guy's deal?
 
Yep, it's simply amazing how many folks are to the right of you.
 


He is woke ... and realized the left is a bunch of freaking nutcases ... :lol:
 
He's a parody of himself.
 
I like Bill, but he's definitely not always right. Nowadays, I just kinda chuckle along if I watch, but don't take it too seriously. Once in a while, he'll do a really good piece. I can't access Youtube at work, but he's even had a few decent ones this year.

He's rich and famous, and has been for a long time at this point, of course he's not really jumping for joy to sacrifice anything.
 

What do you expect when you listen to a washed up comedian? Reality?
 

He's a liberal. That doesn't mean what a lot of people think it means.
 

You do get the irony, right?
 

It’s performance art. He knows the democrat candidates taken as a group add up to zero.

I expect some back bench staffer from the Obama years will come in as a sentient “Biden 2.0” and take over the show.
 

I dont agree with everything he says, but I enjoy his show. He treats people he disagrees with with respect. Even Ann Coulter!
 

Agreed his guests are horrible, usually, but his new rule segments are usually spot on. Case in point

I don't think there's currently quite anybody else who I agree with more on the national political scene than Bill Maher. I wouldn't vote for him for President, but, I tend to agree with mostly everything he says.
 

You sound one of the butt hurt Bernie supporters that didn't vote for Hillary. Guess what? You are going to have the same chance to not vote for the democratic candidate in 2020 and be part of the reason that Trump wins. Aren't you lucky. BTW I don't agree with everything Bill says but he is funny as ****.
 
It's fun to watch the Trumpettes defending him here. Usually, he's critical of Trump and they hate him as they hate everybody who doesn't worship at his feet.
 

Maher is a moderate liberal. He's more right on some policies than most normal liberals, and it seems his biggest issue with the left, as well as the current majority of the democratic candidates. Is the constant stream of purity test squealing that seems to be coming from the most vocal of the left in general.

He's just fed up with the same idiocy, that a vast majority of what the rest of the voter base is fed up with.
 
Who gives a damn what anyone thinks of Bill Maher, Sean Hannity, or Tucker Carlson? That's why televisions come with a remote control. You can select what you want to see or not.

If he doesn't irritate people, nobody will watch. If nobody watches, he gets cancelled. If he gets cancelled, he doesn't get lots and lots of money.

That is not how it works HumblePi. So long as you know that there is someone in popular media who expounds opinions that you disagree with, you should not find peace or comfort. Everyone must agree with you, reflecting your beliefs and preconceptions back at you like a looking glass, or they should just go away. Or be put away. At least that as what I am given to understand what AtlantaAdonis is getting at. :roll:
 

Uh he's a comedian?
 

So Trump supporters shouldn't have an explosive diarrhea over someone disagreeing or oh my gawd agreeing with Trump?
 

:lamo That damn white supremacist, alt-right Bill Maher!

Maher's strategy as an actor is simple - to say anything, anything at all, for publicity. He has always done so as that is his profession. Thus, he thanks you for your support.
 

This lefty libtard right here says that the more you hate him, the more I love him.
It's YOU he's talking to...you know that, right?
I don't know about the 8chan gamer incel thing with you but as for the rest of it, he's talking to you.

And the man is spot on about the mass shooters.
Hell, we have almost a baker's dozen people right here that almost sound ripe for a manifesto and a trip to the local Walmart, or movie theater, or church, or wherever. If they're not 8channy reject incels, then they're so filled up with nationalistic white supremacist fervor that they're one DJT tweet away from losing it altogether.
And sometimes...they're a bit of both!

I've heard MAGA hat wearing Republicans try to blame shootings on leftist values.
Instead, Maher is sticking it right to the man himself instead, the Orange Ape in the White House.

Just what's YOUR deal?

I agree! It would be nice if more liberals would argue their point in a reasonable fashion as this. There is a reason you agree with much of what he say's. There is a reason that those who speak liberal whackadoo simply can't be taken seriously.
