Keep repenting, Bill. Maybe you’ll be forgiven for being part of the problem for more than a decade, enabling and applauding the bullying you now deem unworthy of such association.
I'm not a fan of Maher and disagree with the majority if his politics, but we should applaud when he is right, not attack him, or we are as bad as the hateful Democrats he us representing. We should encourage seeing and speaking truth so we draw more people to the truth instead if driving them away.
Also, just because someone was really bad in the past and is doing something good now doesn't necessarily mean they are a hypocrite. Sometimes it means they are slowly waking up and changing their views. That should be encouraged.
But he hasn’t changed; he is a hard core liberal who plays the “I’m a rational smart man who can see both sides of an issue ”, but somehow always ends up siding with the Left. It’s exhausting and not entertaining in the least.
Yes Christy. Waking up from the stupor of insanity is epic. No labels needed left or right. I do not make a big deal anymore whether someone says what seems to be right. I just want to see where that leads in action to the speaker and receiver.
He was doing these kind of new rules against the Democrats for a long time. He’s not changing his ways anytime soon. There is too much money to be made.
If the depressed would take a different path they would see the opportunity ahead. Laziness breeds entitlement and destroys productivity. He did promote this and hurt those who fell for this idelology.
Who are you to judge? People have a right to change without being criticized for it, especially when it's in the right direction, but I'm sure you've never evolved or gone through the cruel criticism and resistance that comes with it, as others relentlessly try to keep you from evolving. People don't like change, especially when they've already formed and long held their rigid "opinions," and when they are not capable of it. This is a form of jealousy, exposing who evolves and who doesn't. It's a Confederacy of Dunces that always attacks their betters, their "betters" being those capable of and willing to change. People are allowed to wake up. Let them. Let the past be the past. It takes a lot less energy, negative, hateful energy that can tie you up in unnecessary stress knots. Don't let it. Let it be.
Maher often gives an illusion of balance by such attacks, and of course he’s right here. But he accepts the lies while doing so-he doesn’t for example question that ridiculous rape comment and the pure corruption of the sexual assault verdict against Trump being delivered by a Dem activist who can’t remember what year it was when the assault happened, funded by a major Dem donor etc etc. He doesn’t ever question the lies, just the reaction to the lies. He’s very selective in which bits of Dem bullying and corruption he’s prepared to notice. He won’t look at why Trump might be right or why Robert F.Kennedy Jnr might be right. So he ends up really excusing the majority of Dem evil, while pretending to police the worst of modern Dem excesses.
Ah, I see. So now RFJ jr. is to be the dictator, according to this particular Substack commenter (above, if it comes out that way on the app). Maher misses the point? What is that point, then? The point is that now nobody can criticize RFK jr. Isn't that what the problem is? Now it is RFK jr. who needs to be deferred to, never criticized. What every happened to America? What ever happened to the freedom of speech? It is the same old thing, over and over and over. Why does Maher needs to bow to somebody? Why does Maher need to get "the point" and clock in in support of the new chosen leader? Now I am REALLY confused. Should be obey obey RFK, Harris, or Trump? It is always that somebody has to be the new dictator, never a country of diversity or freedom of thought and creativity and personal opinion. Now is it that Maher must obey some one? Then what is the difference? When does it ever change?
I think the point is there is truth and falsity, and never the twain shall meet. I know the black screens tend to mix everything up, and when serial liars own the platforms, we all tend to drift into some post-modern view about the relativity of all things. But that’s untrue. Bobby speaks truths. Bill Maher runs controlled opposition for the liars. He can do that, of course, and in return, I can notice it and state it. Nobody’s saying Bill has to bow to anyone. We’re saying he’s a liar.
Yeah. I mean, I sort of saw through him right away, back when I watched t.v. I still say one needs to take what one can get and here Maher seems to be doing all the right things. So why stress about it? As for “Bobby” speaking truth, yes he seems to be almost in a class of his own. And the “Truth” is that these DNC nut cases really seem to be going for totalitarianism. Many persons seem to be waking up and seeing it. So, let us see what happens come the election. Once one sees what the Dems are doing I do not see how anybody with a nomal mind could vote for that. Interesting times, yes?
I am worried they will never see it, that they will continue to believe everything they hear on MSM and will support all the totalitarianism and be part of the enforcement. Probably help drag us to the gas chamber. The mind control is so bad that I can see the grown children reporting on their own parents. Look at Kennedy's family, endorsing biden publicly, on stage, even though he was the one not allowing protection for their brother! The line isn't drawn, it is erased.
When the left leaves the Democrats and moves right, just like with RFK, Jr. It usually starts with seeing only one or two faults on their own side and one or two good things about the opposing side. Very slowly this allows them to open their minds to the truth to see more. It seems like RFK, Tulsa Gabbard, etc. suddenly see the light, but it is a long torturous trip for them. We really need to be kind and encourage this conversion rather than attack them because they haven't come all of the way yet. Changing your entire world view is hard and painful, and most don't have the courage to do so even when exposed to the facts.
I cannot believe this stuff. Now Maher finally did something right. So if your kid is always disobedient, and then your kid does something better you should attack your kid? So now Maher makes the right choice and, no let's not stop attacking him. Any time is a good time, when it comes to attacking Bill Maher. Cuz You don't like him! That means just a gratuitous attack on someone because you like attacking Maher and nothing will stop you. This is not about Maher, is it? He is not much, I agree. But this is not about Maher. It is not about how you hate Maher. It is about RFK's recent alliance with Trump. The wife of RFK jr. is now being told to renounce her husband. And she did not do it. What should she do? Scratch his eyes out? She is letting him have his own freedom. So let Maher have his. Then Maher can be free, I can be free, and you can be free. But that is not an attractive option for some people I guess.
I really don’t understand your position. Of course we should welcome people moving away from the Dems, classical liberals included, and of course people have freedom to differ from us in some areas. But you seem to be simultaneously raging at the Dems (which is understandable) but also at criticism of Maher or awareness that Maher STILL tells people to vote Democrat and will himself vote Democrat despite these partial displays of good sense. So in the end he’s not like a RFK Jnr or a Tulsi Gabbard. He’s still on the Dem side even while he’s seen and obviously understands that some of the stuff they are doing now is pure thuggery, corruption and bullying. What do we call that? Shouldn’t we note that? Nobody limits Mather’s freedom by pointing out that he’s very selective in his ‘good points’.
But this gives no room for the outside possibility that over the next 8 weeks he just might do a 180° and doesn’t vote for Harris. It’s certainly possible, especially now that a little crack has been made and he is seeing something that could make him start to question a heck of a lot more. But not if we attack him viciously in the moment he speaks some truth, and confuse him over whether or not we are any different than them.
Personally I think he simply doesn’t like how bad his side looks and sees that it’s their own fault, and he is chastising them like children, but that’s it. I think he wishes his side wasn’t behaving badly. I don’t know if he will question what caused that bad behavior or not. It’s just as possible he will remain staunchly for the Democrat Party but disappointed in how ugly they all behave.
But I’m not going to attack him in the same way they all attack us, because I don’t want to be part of any force that keeps him from waking up more.
Well I don't consider pointing out that he's only partially truthful and far less courageous than Tulsi or Bobby an attack. It's a statement of fact at the moment. If he takes that final step then by all means welcome him.
I think he would have voted for Bobby, I really do. Of course, now there is no way, and he won't settle for just not voting at all. There is always the thought of writing in Bobby;s name but I think the dems have some loophole they can use to take those votes for themselves.
What a wonderfully written reply. Your post is o e filled with truths. Maher is a blinded leftist that picks and chooses what he will say without covering the issue correctly. That is fine because all will see all the truths in the end. God is winning and it’s the Patriots benefitting and RFK Jr is a man with intelligence and has seen what the left is all about yes he had to wake up to see. Yes waking up is possible he is prove of it and so is Gabbard also many Dems have left the party because of the Communism involved in it. The rest are still asleep.
Maher’s comment will fall on deaf ears. Hatred blinds. People who hate people in reality hate themselves. Self hatred is so intolerable the hatred has to be projected to give a bit of relief. Sad.
Excellent description of the left. But from being the most hatefilled and angry people in our country, when they all got their marching orders from ‘ the powers that be,’ they turned on a dime and started acting happy and silly and joyful! It’s one of the creepiest things I’ve ever watched and Kamala stopped her cackling unauthentic laugh. She air laughs a lot NOW!
Goes both ways. Pointing fingers at each other, finding no common ground for our need for peace, love and forgiveness. That said it can be observed by the fruit one sees, reading or hearing where a person is coming from. Goes both ways my brother.
For YEARS it was the Right doing these things and now these biases persons are always on here saying 'left, left, left.' It is a matter of seeing the right and wrong of it. Not the right and "left" of it.
True, that was when the right was hijacked by oligarchy/Rino/Dino collaboration, resulting in 9/11 and a slew of legislation meant for more control over the population. Now it is the left that is hijacked by the same and resulting in covid and more restrictive legislation.
With the present trends we can see unfolding in this Material World TODAY, potentially leading to the end of Civilization as we knew it and possibly Humanity itself, this whole World is on the defensive.
No, it will simply not have the effect he (perhaps) hopes it will have. Why? Because BOTH sides know that he's full of sht ... he's "man"splained to [in "quotes" because ... well, I'll let you figure that out] and shat upon and slandered and said so much nasty stuff about SO many who have disagreed with him, esp. anyone at all "conservative," over the years, that for him to point a finger is nothing but more of the same Hollywood narcissistic hypocrisy.
Wrong ... he just said some little thing that you and anyone else with common sense already knows and agrees with LONG before he decided to try to gain some kudo points (with whom exactly?) by saying them! And you want to give him credit bc he's otherwise a fake and phony sanctimonious Hollywood liberal narcissistic dipwad that actually got one right?
So agree w/what he says that you agree with, but that in NO WAY makes him an ally. That only means that he is not absolutely totally blind and probably even more accurately that he didn't want to be linked with and get thrown under the bus with that person.
But the fact is HE'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS THAT PERSON. I'm not throwing him under any bus ... he's been under that bus for years / decades. I'm just not pretending he's riding on my bus heading in the same direction that I am.
Could he change ... God does miracles all the time. Has he changed? No. Go listen to and read the other garbage he puts out and you'll know.
No he hasn't changed, he keeps saying that and it is obvious he will never change regarding trump... but many of his other beliefs, opinions, positions, have come out over the terrible handling of covid and many thought he was leaning right. He wasn't, he just is not as programable as the everyday dem. During the lockdowns I was thinking, where is maher! he can't possibly agree with this. Sure enough, soon after I saw a video he did in his backyard (due to lockdowns) and he could have written the great barrington declaration right there in his backyard. Also he was very much against the vaxx and any mandates. He did eventually cave, probably "forced" into it. He has always loved the kennedys and he knows Kennedy is still a democrat, but a kennedy democrat which is not the same as the party today. Maher has repeatedly said, "I haven't changed" the party has. He complains a lot about things like men in womans sports, children allowed to have gender surgery, etc.
I spent today on other work. Specifically, I learned in horror that Donald Trump has been analyzed by "specialists in psychology" who have started calling President Trump a " psychopath" at the same time as their party are cruelly harassing the wife of his new running mate, RFK..
"Hmmmm". During his first election, commenter's remarked at how well behaved his children are, and reported that his family strongly supported him in his political endeavors.
I hope President Trump performs as well this time as he did last time. Our country needs his help again. God Bless him.
Well, good for him, except he's wrong about Cheryl "having to put up with shit". What RFK Jr. did was courageous, principled and in the best interest of the country. In no way was it "shit:". I fervently hope her eyes have been opened to the vicious, vacuous Hollywood types who are attacking her.
Here's the problem, people often confuse liberal with being Leftist. They are NOT the same thing! The Left is a certifiable Cult! A Mob-ocracy. For those familiar with The Borg, it's what the Left is and does. The Hive Mind, no individuality. And if you resist, they seek to destroy you. Frankly, I don't see a way out of this mess they've created, those hell bent on destroying our country, and the whole world for that matter too. They are EVIL!
You can saw that again. Over the years I’ve seen some of my sweet wonderful friends turn into some political assassins. They’ve lost their minds over Trump. It’s very very sad. There’s no giving them accurate, provable information about Trump they will even listen to. If they were told what ate for breakfast, they’d find it deplorable in someway. Liberals used to be kind to everybody even their friends who had different political views. I lost my bleeding heart liberalism when I realized what Hillary was up to.
So absolutely true. The hatred of Trump is mind boggling! They didn’t go nuts over Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Their reaction was simply “tsk tsk”. The Democrats have total forgiveness over John F Kennedy’s atrocious meandering ways.
In fact, the media never said anything to disparage his name but his sexual escapades were quite deplorable. But Kennedy was still considered a good leader!
Trump has made mistakes but he was a good president and the country was way better off than it is now.
But will Bill Maher ever give him credit for anything? Nope! Nor any of the many far left liberals acknowledge the fact that he was a far better leader than Biden, who they elected even though there were so many signs of his growing dementia.
When you see the women of the View, who are so full of hate for Trump, they “spit” out his name, as Whoopi did. How stupid and childish.
But I will at least thank Maher for saying “something” about the dramatic change in the Democratic Party.
Tulsi Gabbard saw that change and knew that she had to leave the party. Her criticism is right on every point, but I’m sure there are Democrats that are condemning her for “waking up” and deciding to support Trump. She is a remarkable woman and condemns the way the Democrats have changed in such a deplorable way, basically endorsing the Communist Manifesto. Read it and weep, but that is what is happening to America.
agree with all except there was a pretty huge commotion over clinton and Lewinsky, I remember wishing they would stop; I was so sick of it on tv 24/7. I thought it was over the top and ridiculous...WELL (LOL) I have now learned from the left, what over the top and ridiculous really is. Compared to what the left are doing today, the right actually reacted towards clinton with a slap on the wrist! Personally, while I don't approve, I still think it was hillary's problem not ours. I really was disappointed at the behavior of the Kennedys as well, but they were excellent leaders.
Most of the liberals that I’ve ever met fall into two categories:
some of them are just incredibly naive, kind of seeing the world as they wish it to be instead of dealing with reality ( ie: ‘why can’t everyone just be nice and get along?’ )
And then there are the scary ones, the “liberals “ who initially appear to be kind, generous and humane, but if you scratch the surface, their real personalities come out….. They are NOT kind, generous , or humane at all.
Just the kind of people who enjoy imposing their beliefs on others (and their ideology tells them that they’re the “good people “).
I would say that the vast majority of leftist politicians and activists fall into the second category…..
Thank you Bill Mahr for your invitation for men to support their wives and women to support their husbands. You might get to be a Trump voter yet. I was a diehard Democrat until 2016, when I heard President Trump's primary acceptance speech on the radio. I must say, I did not like Trump at all in 2016!! I wasn't seeing him so I wasn't evaluating his hair, his movements or facial expressions. I was evaluating his words and his message. What I heard was the clearest, most concise evaluation of the condition of our country, of politics and of politicians I had ever heard from any politician or political party in the 42-years I had been voting. Then, he told us what he was going to do about it and it wasn't just political rhetoric, he had what I heard to be a viable plan. I saw a majority of the plan successfully enacted. At the end of his speech, I said to myself, I'm voting for this man. I'm very happy I did and I am supporting him, J.D. Vance, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and whomever else he brings to his cabinet. I'll end with an analogy: when you're married to a person who's cheating, even though that person made promises that sounded great in the beginning, sometimes you need to let them go. That's how I see the democrat party at this point and I've let them go. My allegiance is to the candidate who does what they say they'll do and I've watched Trump be that person. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your comments. I agree that TDS is a real thing and I credit the conditioning that happens with mainstream media and their nonstop negative input. I also trust RFK's judgement and very much appreciate his accurate recall of history and how he's sharing it, thereby educating U.S. citizens. This in itself if very empowering and changes the "frequency" of the message.
Totalitarians have been bullies since the beginning of time. Bill Maher isn't brave for pointing this out, he's a COWARD for continuing to tow the leftist narrative.
RFK actually consulted with his wife before leaving the hijacked, suicidal, and sailing-into-a-tsunami Demoncrat party. This guy who attacked Cheryl for loving America more than she hates Trump, is probably married to a man.
Now I wonder this vise versa. Are Republicans attacking her for not sticking with her husband all the way and also endorsing Trump and back Bobby up? Instead she apologizes for Bobby. So she doesn't think highly of him cause she would see what he sees if she would or what? Yet we do not attack her i hope. She is free to choose as she wishes imo. As silly as it is in my eyes. But she is an adult and free even with a ring on her finger. Hopefully she will change if we treat her with respect as the wife of Bobby. The wife he loves with all their differences. Thats comandable. Hopefully we can proof to her we are the better ones with the indicted leader we choose. And we should respect her simply out of respect of Bobby. I think Bobby is great and truly him now endorsing Trump made it so much easier for me since I really wanted to vote for Bobby but knew about the chances were very slim to zero with the 2 party system we have. This solved this for me and I have hopes on regards to pharmaceuticals. While I want progress in medicine I want it to go the right direction and corruption be taken care off also in science and medicine.
While I appreciate the effort, Mahers comments were limp wristed. If he wants to be more helpful, he must point out the “liberals” hypocrisy, explain it in terms even a brain dead liberal can understand, then bury them with it.
UPDATE: NEW INFO FROM RFK Jr – he emphasized this week that rapidly increasing censorship and totalitarianism, which is suddenly sweeping the globe, represents the biggest threat, for if we lose free speech, all other goals evaporate. (See Jenna McCarthy's latest post for a list of examples of this rapidly-increasing menace to humanity and life as we know it. https://jennasside.rocks/p/rfk-jr-wants-everyone-to-vote-for)
RFK Jr released a statement Sep 5 urging EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR TRUMP as the best and only way now to advance RFK's goals and their shared goals of restoring our children's and nation's health and ending the forever wars and censorship. Trump needs a landslide victory in both the popular vote AND the Electoral College in order for it to not be contested and challenged. A close vote would be disastrous.
Please trust RFK Jr's instincts, integrity, and ability to see the big, big picture, as well as his agility in responding to the ever-changing current situation. We must be agile as well and let go of our initial hopes for how this campaign should go.
Keep in mind that the mainstream media has been biased for a long time, manipulating our opinions and thoughts and suppressing important truths. If we realize that this bias was strong regarding the pandemic, we ought to also realize it's been biased regarding President Trump during his first administration. Let's ask ourselves how much of our opinion about him has been shaped by media manipulation.
The DNC and its masters sabotaged RFK and his campaign at every turn, but we must unify and show that we are stronger. A wholly new, unprecedented alliance has emerged with three former democrats – Trump, Kennedy, Gabbard – and we'd better join them en masse to save us from going over a totalitarian cliff. They need our active support, before it's too late. As RFK has said, no-one ever complied their way out of totalitarianism, and throughout history, those who censored were never the good guys. Do what you can to spread the word to vote Trump.
Keep repenting, Bill. Maybe you’ll be forgiven for being part of the problem for more than a decade, enabling and applauding the bullying you now deem unworthy of such association.
I'm not a fan of Maher and disagree with the majority if his politics, but we should applaud when he is right, not attack him, or we are as bad as the hateful Democrats he us representing. We should encourage seeing and speaking truth so we draw more people to the truth instead if driving them away.
Also, just because someone was really bad in the past and is doing something good now doesn't necessarily mean they are a hypocrite. Sometimes it means they are slowly waking up and changing their views. That should be encouraged.
But he hasn’t changed; he is a hard core liberal who plays the “I’m a rational smart man who can see both sides of an issue ”, but somehow always ends up siding with the Left. It’s exhausting and not entertaining in the least.
Exactly! Christy is absolutely wrong!
Yes Christy. Waking up from the stupor of insanity is epic. No labels needed left or right. I do not make a big deal anymore whether someone says what seems to be right. I just want to see where that leads in action to the speaker and receiver.
He was doing these kind of new rules against the Democrats for a long time. He’s not changing his ways anytime soon. There is too much money to be made.
🎯
Nice one!
He's still part of the problem...he just has occasional bursts of sanity once in a while.
I'm not a fan of him, but at least he occasionally thinks for himself and questions his own side. I still agree with him very rarely.
Still, you saying that is not attacking him just just like Renee was not attacking him.
Only George Carlin was the most consistent Comedian (political observer) who continually challenged the entire political machinations.
George Carlin - It's A BIG Club & You Ain't In It!
Mark Twain comes to mind :)
I once heard that Carlin never “punched down”— he “punched up”. That is what made him great, regardless of his politics.
If the depressed would take a different path they would see the opportunity ahead. Laziness breeds entitlement and destroys productivity. He did promote this and hurt those who fell for this idelology.
Who are you to judge? People have a right to change without being criticized for it, especially when it's in the right direction, but I'm sure you've never evolved or gone through the cruel criticism and resistance that comes with it, as others relentlessly try to keep you from evolving. People don't like change, especially when they've already formed and long held their rigid "opinions," and when they are not capable of it. This is a form of jealousy, exposing who evolves and who doesn't. It's a Confederacy of Dunces that always attacks their betters, their "betters" being those capable of and willing to change. People are allowed to wake up. Let them. Let the past be the past. It takes a lot less energy, negative, hateful energy that can tie you up in unnecessary stress knots. Don't let it. Let it be.

he is doing fine.

I think he would have voted for Bobby, I really do. Of course, now there is no way, and he won't settle for just not voting at all. There is always the thought of writing in Bobby;s name but I think the dems have some loophole they can use to take those votes for themselves.
Excellent observation, that’s all they are, just pose,just pretending, just half evil still stupid evil.
💯
What a wonderfully written reply. Your post is o e filled with truths. Maher is a blinded leftist that picks and chooses what he will say without covering the issue correctly. That is fine because all will see all the truths in the end. God is winning and it’s the Patriots benefitting and RFK Jr is a man with intelligence and has seen what the left is all about yes he had to wake up to see. Yes waking up is possible he is prove of it and so is Gabbard also many Dems have left the party because of the Communism involved in it. The rest are still asleep.
Maher’s comment will fall on deaf ears. Hatred blinds. People who hate people in reality hate themselves. Self hatred is so intolerable the hatred has to be projected to give a bit of relief. Sad.
Excellent description of the left. But from being the most hatefilled and angry people in our country, when they all got their marching orders from ‘ the powers that be,’ they turned on a dime and started acting happy and silly and joyful! It’s one of the creepiest things I’ve ever watched and Kamala stopped her cackling unauthentic laugh. She air laughs a lot NOW!
There is no hatred on the right?
Goes both ways. Pointing fingers at each other, finding no common ground for our need for peace, love and forgiveness. That said it can be observed by the fruit one sees, reading or hearing where a person is coming from. Goes both ways my brother.
For YEARS it was the Right doing these things and now these biases persons are always on here saying 'left, left, left.' It is a matter of seeing the right and wrong of it. Not the right and "left" of it.
True, that was when the right was hijacked by oligarchy/Rino/Dino collaboration, resulting in 9/11 and a slew of legislation meant for more control over the population. Now it is the left that is hijacked by the same and resulting in covid and more restrictive legislation.
I think the right is mostly on the defensive.
With the present trends we can see unfolding in this Material World TODAY, potentially leading to the end of Civilization as we knew it and possibly Humanity itself, this whole World is on the defensive.

No, it will simply not have the effect he (perhaps) hopes it will have. Why? Because BOTH sides know that he's full of sht ... he's "man"splained to [in "quotes" because ... well, I'll let you figure that out] and shat upon and slandered and said so much nasty stuff about SO many who have disagreed with him, esp. anyone at all "conservative," over the years, that for him to point a finger is nothing but more of the same Hollywood narcissistic hypocrisy.
yeah but now he is doing the right thing. Please do not throw him under the bus. We need allies.
Wrong ... he just said some little thing that you and anyone else with common sense already knows and agrees with LONG before he decided to try to gain some kudo points (with whom exactly?) by saying them! And you want to give him credit bc he's otherwise a fake and phony sanctimonious Hollywood liberal narcissistic dipwad that actually got one right?
So agree w/what he says that you agree with, but that in NO WAY makes him an ally. That only means that he is not absolutely totally blind and probably even more accurately that he didn't want to be linked with and get thrown under the bus with that person.
But the fact is HE'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS THAT PERSON. I'm not throwing him under any bus ... he's been under that bus for years / decades. I'm just not pretending he's riding on my bus heading in the same direction that I am.
Could he change ... God does miracles all the time. Has he changed? No. Go listen to and read the other garbage he puts out and you'll know.
No he hasn't changed, he keeps saying that and it is obvious he will never change regarding trump... but many of his other beliefs, opinions, positions, have come out over the terrible handling of covid and many thought he was leaning right. He wasn't, he just is not as programable as the everyday dem. During the lockdowns I was thinking, where is maher! he can't possibly agree with this. Sure enough, soon after I saw a video he did in his backyard (due to lockdowns) and he could have written the great barrington declaration right there in his backyard. Also he was very much against the vaxx and any mandates. He did eventually cave, probably "forced" into it. He has always loved the kennedys and he knows Kennedy is still a democrat, but a kennedy democrat which is not the same as the party today. Maher has repeatedly said, "I haven't changed" the party has. He complains a lot about things like men in womans sports, children allowed to have gender surgery, etc.
Sorry I do not follow. Why would I "go and listen" to Maher if I don't like him?
I spent today on other work. Specifically, I learned in horror that Donald Trump has been analyzed by "specialists in psychology" who have started calling President Trump a " psychopath" at the same time as their party are cruelly harassing the wife of his new running mate, RFK..
"Hmmmm". During his first election, commenter's remarked at how well behaved his children are, and reported that his family strongly supported him in his political endeavors.
I hope President Trump performs as well this time as he did last time. Our country needs his help again. God Bless him.
Linda and Scott
It's hypocritical for the left to say Trump is taking their rights away when they were the ones who said, "Take these shots or lose your job."
Running mate? Has Nicole stepped aside?
Well, good for him, except he's wrong about Cheryl "having to put up with shit". What RFK Jr. did was courageous, principled and in the best interest of the country. In no way was it "shit:". I fervently hope her eyes have been opened to the vicious, vacuous Hollywood types who are attacking her.
Agreed!
The Left is famous for devouring its own when they fall out of line! Jacobins anyone? Trotsky? Which coup first???
Conservatives do it too. Don’t kid yourself.
Here's the problem, people often confuse liberal with being Leftist. They are NOT the same thing! The Left is a certifiable Cult! A Mob-ocracy. For those familiar with The Borg, it's what the Left is and does. The Hive Mind, no individuality. And if you resist, they seek to destroy you. Frankly, I don't see a way out of this mess they've created, those hell bent on destroying our country, and the whole world for that matter too. They are EVIL!
Liberals may not be true leftists, but liberals will support and make excuses for just about anything , no matter how insane, that a leftist does.
You can saw that again. Over the years I’ve seen some of my sweet wonderful friends turn into some political assassins. They’ve lost their minds over Trump. It’s very very sad. There’s no giving them accurate, provable information about Trump they will even listen to. If they were told what ate for breakfast, they’d find it deplorable in someway. Liberals used to be kind to everybody even their friends who had different political views. I lost my bleeding heart liberalism when I realized what Hillary was up to.
So absolutely true. The hatred of Trump is mind boggling! They didn’t go nuts over Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Their reaction was simply “tsk tsk”. The Democrats have total forgiveness over John F Kennedy’s atrocious meandering ways.
In fact, the media never said anything to disparage his name but his sexual escapades were quite deplorable. But Kennedy was still considered a good leader!
Trump has made mistakes but he was a good president and the country was way better off than it is now.
But will Bill Maher ever give him credit for anything? Nope! Nor any of the many far left liberals acknowledge the fact that he was a far better leader than Biden, who they elected even though there were so many signs of his growing dementia.
When you see the women of the View, who are so full of hate for Trump, they “spit” out his name, as Whoopi did. How stupid and childish.
But I will at least thank Maher for saying “something” about the dramatic change in the Democratic Party.
Tulsi Gabbard saw that change and knew that she had to leave the party. Her criticism is right on every point, but I’m sure there are Democrats that are condemning her for “waking up” and deciding to support Trump. She is a remarkable woman and condemns the way the Democrats have changed in such a deplorable way, basically endorsing the Communist Manifesto. Read it and weep, but that is what is happening to America.
agree with all except there was a pretty huge commotion over clinton and Lewinsky, I remember wishing they would stop; I was so sick of it on tv 24/7. I thought it was over the top and ridiculous...WELL (LOL) I have now learned from the left, what over the top and ridiculous really is. Compared to what the left are doing today, the right actually reacted towards clinton with a slap on the wrist! Personally, while I don't approve, I still think it was hillary's problem not ours. I really was disappointed at the behavior of the Kennedys as well, but they were excellent leaders.
I’ve had a different experience with liberals.
Most of the liberals that I’ve ever met fall into two categories:
some of them are just incredibly naive, kind of seeing the world as they wish it to be instead of dealing with reality ( ie: ‘why can’t everyone just be nice and get along?’ )
And then there are the scary ones, the “liberals “ who initially appear to be kind, generous and humane, but if you scratch the surface, their real personalities come out….. They are NOT kind, generous , or humane at all.
Just the kind of people who enjoy imposing their beliefs on others (and their ideology tells them that they’re the “good people “).
I would say that the vast majority of leftist politicians and activists fall into the second category…..
well said
Fact check: TRUE!
Mass Formation Psychosis...Parasitic Mind
Democrats refuse to see the absolute destruction that their party has brought to America.
They will inevitably see it at some point when it body slams them into reality.
They will then blame a Republican.
Thank you Bill Mahr for your invitation for men to support their wives and women to support their husbands. You might get to be a Trump voter yet. I was a diehard Democrat until 2016, when I heard President Trump's primary acceptance speech on the radio. I must say, I did not like Trump at all in 2016!! I wasn't seeing him so I wasn't evaluating his hair, his movements or facial expressions. I was evaluating his words and his message. What I heard was the clearest, most concise evaluation of the condition of our country, of politics and of politicians I had ever heard from any politician or political party in the 42-years I had been voting. Then, he told us what he was going to do about it and it wasn't just political rhetoric, he had what I heard to be a viable plan. I saw a majority of the plan successfully enacted. At the end of his speech, I said to myself, I'm voting for this man. I'm very happy I did and I am supporting him, J.D. Vance, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and whomever else he brings to his cabinet. I'll end with an analogy: when you're married to a person who's cheating, even though that person made promises that sounded great in the beginning, sometimes you need to let them go. That's how I see the democrat party at this point and I've let them go. My allegiance is to the candidate who does what they say they'll do and I've watched Trump be that person. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your comments. I agree that TDS is a real thing and I credit the conditioning that happens with mainstream media and their nonstop negative input. I also trust RFK's judgement and very much appreciate his accurate recall of history and how he's sharing it, thereby educating U.S. citizens. This in itself if very empowering and changes the "frequency" of the message.
Totalitarians have been bullies since the beginning of time. Bill Maher isn't brave for pointing this out, he's a COWARD for continuing to tow the leftist narrative.
RFK actually consulted with his wife before leaving the hijacked, suicidal, and sailing-into-a-tsunami Demoncrat party. This guy who attacked Cheryl for loving America more than she hates Trump, is probably married to a man.
It’s a safe bet in that particular…circle.
Now I wonder this vise versa. Are Republicans attacking her for not sticking with her husband all the way and also endorsing Trump and back Bobby up? Instead she apologizes for Bobby. So she doesn't think highly of him cause she would see what he sees if she would or what? Yet we do not attack her i hope. She is free to choose as she wishes imo. As silly as it is in my eyes. But she is an adult and free even with a ring on her finger. Hopefully she will change if we treat her with respect as the wife of Bobby. The wife he loves with all their differences. Thats comandable. Hopefully we can proof to her we are the better ones with the indicted leader we choose. And we should respect her simply out of respect of Bobby. I think Bobby is great and truly him now endorsing Trump made it so much easier for me since I really wanted to vote for Bobby but knew about the chances were very slim to zero with the 2 party system we have. This solved this for me and I have hopes on regards to pharmaceuticals. While I want progress in medicine I want it to go the right direction and corruption be taken care off also in science and medicine.
While I appreciate the effort, Mahers comments were limp wristed. If he wants to be more helpful, he must point out the “liberals” hypocrisy, explain it in terms even a brain dead liberal can understand, then bury them with it.
Why can’t bill express himself without the vulgarity? It shows a paucity of language skill. A last resort.
UPDATE: NEW INFO FROM RFK Jr – he emphasized this week that rapidly increasing censorship and totalitarianism, which is suddenly sweeping the globe, represents the biggest threat, for if we lose free speech, all other goals evaporate. (See Jenna McCarthy's latest post for a list of examples of this rapidly-increasing menace to humanity and life as we know it. https://jennasside.rocks/p/rfk-jr-wants-everyone-to-vote-for)
RFK Jr released a statement Sep 5 urging EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR TRUMP as the best and only way now to advance RFK's goals and their shared goals of restoring our children's and nation's health and ending the forever wars and censorship. Trump needs a landslide victory in both the popular vote AND the Electoral College in order for it to not be contested and challenged. A close vote would be disastrous.
Please trust RFK Jr's instincts, integrity, and ability to see the big, big picture, as well as his agility in responding to the ever-changing current situation. We must be agile as well and let go of our initial hopes for how this campaign should go.
Keep in mind that the mainstream media has been biased for a long time, manipulating our opinions and thoughts and suppressing important truths. If we realize that this bias was strong regarding the pandemic, we ought to also realize it's been biased regarding President Trump during his first administration. Let's ask ourselves how much of our opinion about him has been shaped by media manipulation.
The DNC and its masters sabotaged RFK and his campaign at every turn, but we must unify and show that we are stronger. A wholly new, unprecedented alliance has emerged with three former democrats – Trump, Kennedy, Gabbard – and we'd better join them en masse to save us from going over a totalitarian cliff. They need our active support, before it's too late. As RFK has said, no-one ever complied their way out of totalitarianism, and throughout history, those who censored were never the good guys. Do what you can to spread the word to vote Trump.
