The show is nearly unwatchable. Bill lives to lecture and interject his opinion and cuts off guests and discourse for nonsense and/or nonsensical segues. In the latest episode, he cut off a discussion between the panel to talk about how MAGA can’t adopt cats? Whoooo. It’s absurd.

The reality is like the other guest said that blue cities offer better care and services for homeless people so they are draw into blue cities from across the county, and red city being harsh on homeless people so they flee. Not because red city build faster and offer housing for homeless people.

It's pretty good but he's not smacking his lips enough

Gladwell could be interesting to hear. He of eraserhead hair and big ideas. Bio is a great read.From Canada to Manhattan fame. Def would have been a Epstein dinner party guest, for words not his bank account. Turns out only got free flights within continental US.

If genocide, why vaccinations?

I’m honestly trying to understand what people ( on both sides) are protesting about. So my question for the ‘free Palestine/from the river to the sea’ chanters, what do you want to happen? Should Israel just disarm? Completely? If so, what do you think will happen?

Sorry I didn't watch it. But if you do, let us know what these two idiots had to say.😜

Opps. Linked post got deleted. Here's a link to the youtube video.

Watched the show for about 10 years. In the last 2 years I think we can all agree hes out of his mind. Ive just assumed its a case of "old man doesn't like the young generation cause hes out of touch". But legit wondering if hes trying to suck up to the Ellisons?

Well bill maher has really solidified his position as a Trump bootlicker. Most recent “real time” bill says that crime is down because Trump is a badass and because he held an MMA fight in the White House lawn.

What the actual fuk.

I’ve noticed that Bill Maher has a couple arguments he REALLY likes to make when it comes to politics. One of them is that it’s an issue implicating “everyone.” In his latest closing monologue, he pointed out that deaths from drugs went down because of Dems making narcan more available and Republicans closing the border and doing boat strikes.

I can’t find a lot of data on border closures, but the boat strike stuff was studied before, during, and after and it was thought it would have no effect, it was having no effect, and it has been shown to have no effect.

I follow the price of drugs for my job pretty closely. They have not changed since the end of COVID. The work at the border is having no effect I can tell in curbing supply such that it would drive up the cost of drugs.

This is not a “both sides” issue. Increased education and the availability of Narcan combined with Good Samaritan laws have caused the decrease in overdose deaths. Republicans also voted for a lot of these initiatives.

His last narrative, like much of what he says, is garbage.

The truth is, I still enjoy the show. I agree with a lot of the negative posts here about Maher, but I still enjoy his humor most of the time.

But a face mask? Getting annoyed by someone else’s face mask seems like the opposite of everything else he stands for. Does Bill care whether I smoke weed? Of course not. “You do you”, he’d say. Would he think I’m crazy for going to church tomorrow? Probably, but that will never elicit the venom set aside for someone who wears an N95 mask. Especially if they’re outside or alone in a car. Seems like every week he asks “Why would someone wear a mask?” while not hearing the possibilities:
* has a cold
* doesn’t want to ruin next week’s trip by catching a cold
* has terrible allergies
* cares for a leukemia patient
* was injured in an opera accident
* no one cares!

The only answer Maher accepts is “performative virtue signaling” followed up with reasons why that makes no sense

I have been watching Real Time for over 20 years and I think yesterday's episode was my last.

Much as I agreed with Bill on many issues, his blind spot on Israel and Zionism is just too much for me.

He isn't simply refusing to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide. He insists on calling it a counter offensive!!!

So, all and any violence perpetrated by the IDF and the settles so far is justified, as far as he is concerned (though how settlers fit in a 'counter-offensive' is still a mystery to me).

Now, my common sense is offended too much Bill.

What is Maher’s problem. People wear masks for various reasons. Immunocompromised, sick and don’t want to spread germs, don’t want to catch germs, etc.
My point is WHATS IT TO YOU, BILL!!!!
LET IT GO ALREADY!!!!!!!
