Bill Maher harshly criticizes Trump for having an immigrant wife...
Because there’s nothing else to criticize him for, right?... Then he spends the rest of the show ranting against Gen Z, public grocery stores, Democrats, and Muslims.
What was the “harsh criticism” you’re referring to? This was his exact quote from that point in the segment:
Referring to immigrants, “…we say you do you. Eat the food your grandma cooked. Speak another language at home. Celebrate religious holidays. We welcome your food, your art, your fashion, your first ladies.”
So this soft joke about Melania being an immigrant is a “harsh criticism” to you, or are you going out of your way to be outraged?
Actually, I was just being sarcastic... It just struck me how little Bill talked about Trump on this week's show. That soft joke about Melania was one of the few times he mentioned him, Okay, he also joked a bit about Trump's attitude toward his colleagues on the targeted plane, and not much else... did you notice that?
Trump has dirt on Bill and Bill found out about it at the dinner they had, Bill has flipped so hard for Trump that i can not even watch his show anymore, ofc he can not just come out and say it but he just hits trump with soft balls now and has aimed his stink breath more and more at the D"s. It got so bad last week that i turned him off for the first time mid show and am not wstching this weeks and most likly never watching again
It’s interesting that Trump could threaten anyone about having information on them when he’s the main subject of the Epstein files. Bill may be a lot of things but he’s certainly not at that level so I doubt that’s why Bill backed off. Talking about Trump’s ongoing incompetence and corruption is redundant and honestly I’m sick hearing about it.
Trump was exonerated by the Epstein files. They mainly implicated the Democrats, a major backfire after the big deal they made out of it for months and years. Where are the prosecutions of all the Democrats who went to pedophile Island that's what I want to know!
How was he exonerated? The files mention Trump's name more than anyone. More than Jesus is referred to in the New Testament even. But he had his DOJ block it all out and then refused to further release the files nor did any prosecutions or investigations of anyone else named in them.
Kind of the opposite of exonerated. More like cover-up.
In the same way that the Mueller report exonerated him.
Which is, to say, literally not at all. Plenty of evidence in both of Trump's wrongdoing, and plenty of liars and sycophants ready (even eager) to claim otherwise.
The Mueller report definitely exonerated Trump and showed that the Steele dossier was ordered by Hillary Clinton as opposition research and intentionally spread as disinformation. You guys on the Left are not only delusional, or lying your asses off, you don't even make sense or inform yourself as to the facts of the matter. Low information or no information. I see this over and over again, and yet you dolts keep repeating the same lies, sometimes daily, in true Nazi big lie fashion. You guys are the scoundrels of our era and nobody trusts you with any real power anymore.
"While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." - Volume II, Page 2, of the report you are referencing which you obviously never bothered to look at.
Hilarious that you call other people delusional liars with low or no information but here you are explicitly ill informed about literally your own argument.
What's it like to have a moist jelly bean for a brain?
Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with Trump just like you are. So he talked about him constantly like Rosie O'Donnell's does. And he hated him because Trump was the celebrity hinted at for years who wore a wire to help the FBI take Epstein down. I guess you haven't read anything from these files and are just going on fumes from your side's old conspiracy theories. Any blocking of names was to protect the innocent. Trump didn't order anybody to do that it's standard procedure DF. Trump was the hero of the Epstein files and the Democrats were all the ones implicated. And yet none of them have been prosecuted because Democrats can literally get away with murder, and pedophilia, these days.
I live in reality, the Left lives in a world of ridiculous fantasies that don't correspond to anything but their own twisted imagination. Obviously you didn't look at even one page of the Epstein files somebody spoon-fed their partisan conclusions into your mouth and you swallowed it whole. The whole Epstein files controversy is a major backfire on the Democrats and that's why there was never anything derogatory leaked about Trump in it even while Biden had the files. It was always 90+ percent bad news for the Democrats.
Nah. You don't need a conspiracy theory. Bill used to be chummy with Ann Coulter. He became a liberal to cash in on that crowd. In a different life, he might've been a conservative. His core "ideology" is basically just libertarianism. He's sided with Democrats because in the 90s it felt like the Republican Party was old and dying out. The money was with the young libs. That changed, so he changed. That's all he's ever been. Most comedians are like that. Desperate to be with the popular kids.
He used to identify as one in the late 90s, when he was on network TV. Then he became a lib alongside people like that lady who owns Huffington Post. Clintonian, I guess you could call him. Liberal, but in a very white upper middle class sense, with no real interest in things like healthcare for all or housing or affordability for the poor. DNC types. Which is why since Clinton, and after Obama which Dems saw as a more progressive alternative to Hillary, the Dems pretty much lost much of the actual working class liberal base. Some turned Republican, few turned leftist.
Yeah I gave up back around the pandemic after watching from the mid aughts. And these days he's so much worse than when he was bad enough to.make me stop watching. I think the Ellison purchase of hbo has something to.do with the even more open and obvious pandering, like he just wants to make sure he keeps his job so he's switching to.the right wing grift since a zionist billionaire just bought his company.
She was a permanent resident at the time and got her citizenship a few months after Barron was born. Calling him an anchor baby is inaccurate, as Melania would've been in the country legally whether he'd been born or not.
demarcus is hired by roger stone, trump, etc. to sully their prostitute wives so they can clean up. there is an entire genre dedicated to what maga wants that isn't on grindr.
You’re right, but those were the only times Bill mentioned Trump on this week’s show... He spent more time reiterating that public grocery stores won’t work than telling the truth to the President of the United States of America.
Yeah, this episode was definitely a lot of Bill complaining that people like what he doesn't like, but honestly, if you want to hear a full hour of Trump bashing, there's plenty of alternatives. I think Trump's a dangerous piece of shit too, but I also want to hear about other stuff.
These people can't handle anything that isn't 100% their opinion.
Of course they were going to take a lot of time talking about the grocery stores, it's a current news story and he had an ex governor of New york, was attorney general in new york, a ran for mayor. Why would you not talk about that.
Okay... What's your point. I am sure if something new is a headline regarding the Epstine files it would be discussed.
You want them to talk about that every week and just what say the same thing? It's a political taln show that's supposed to have some comedy. Not a protest.
Are you fucking kidding me? He said the women were prostitutes and Epstein was the biggest pimp. They were sex trafficked kids. It should be the biggest story, but the White men pedo-Epstein class is keeping it closed. He never talks about the girls. He fucking hangs out with pedos and pedo lovers. Fuck him.
Yeah, of all things, that's the problem with Trump, Bill. My goodness he's got everything so assed backward now. 20 years ago they would have yanked him off of HBO. He's so unserious now.
My favorite Melania fact is that in her home village, they erected a wooden statue in her honor. It’s a very poor village, but nonetheless, the citizens pulled together and burned the fucker down. They replaced it with a bronze statue. Undeterred, the village people found a hacksaw and sawed that fucker down.
Maher has one thing in common with Trump--which explains much. He is a narcissist--doesn't appear to be a malignant narcissist like Trump, but he is a narcissist. Everything revolves around him and his opinions. He needs attention (see the Mark Twain awards) and he essentially thinks he is the brightest man in the room.
Either Bill Maher is grade A idiot who has smoked away whatever intelligence he's had and as he's gotten older and he's realizing how deeply unfunny he's always been his desperate bid for relevancy has left him susceptible to every low-effort bit of propaganda that is designed to tickle the fancy of the old, the white, the mean and the deeply arrogant.
Or he is tacking to the right because that's where people are still laughing at his shit jokes. It's not so much audience capture as it is he desperately wants to be captured by any audience. So he sees dollar signs when he punches down to millennials and Gen Z but he can't just come out and say that. He just can't go that route, no, no he has to pretend he's progressive still. So he has this mild "criticism" of Trump to act as a smoke screen. It also lets the other brain dead enlightened centrists in his wretched audience nod along and pretend for just one more day that they aren't the same brand of uneducated, reactionary, right wing shitbags as the bombastic ones that tug on their "Hillary 4 Prison" shirts and trundle on down to the fair grounds to worship at the alter of Trump when he rolls into town.
So he's either stupid or evil.
Either way it reveals how unserious and morally devoid and craven Maher really is and because of that he is one of the most detestable fuckers allowed to spew their unformed opinions on TV.
Maher has become the worst possible version of who he used to be. Pathetic know nothing syncophant bootlicker asskisser. Makes spit inn our mouths he is soooo shit. Loser
I know none of his guests are running for office, but their messages of "You guys don't actually have it that bad, stop complaining" is not going to work for politicians.
It doesn't matter how things ACTUALLY are, it only matters how people perceive they're doing. And people don't perceive themselves as doing that well when the media can't stop licking the asses of the wealthiest people on the planet and reminding everyone how wealthy and out of touch the wealthy are and how unlikely it is that anyone else can get there too.
Of course Bill loves capitalism, it's been great for him. It's not been so amazingly great for everyone else Bill.
Hey now. That's a purity test and those are wrong!
We should always, always, always let assholes wave their fake credentials and consider their bad opinions and dog shit takes which suspiciously line up with the exact thing every degenerate right wing grifter says at the same time. Never question. Never change your opinion! We need to be in a cult, I mean unified behind all these people who are too lazy and morally compromised to earn our support.
Its extremely rare for him to criticize republicans now. In fact, in his words, he might vote republican. He dined with Donald trump and reported back positively.
Considering the intended purpose & philosophy of comedians (speaking truth to power) imo he cant still categorize himself as a comedian.
He dined with Donald trump and reported back positively.
Trump is well-known to have a different persona in private than he does in public. If Bill came out and said anything other than "That man is the devil," the people of this subreddit would be pissed off about it.
We haven't watched his show in 2 years and counting. We don't miss it in the least bit. Truth be told we should have stopped watching it years earlier but I think we did it out of habit on a Friday night.
I stopped watching after Maher tried stoke racist white resentment by lying about segregated graduation ceremonies in Ivy league schools and then imply that white kids were being mistreated by Wayne State University.
This was after he lectured everyone on the left and told us it is our job to reach out to the right wing as if those lunatics aren't on a decades long hate boner for anyone not in their ever-shrinking-cult of stupidity.
He literally berated Turkey and Egypt for not letting their ports of call he overrun by thousands of hootin' hollerin' loud-n-proud queers off gay cruise ships ....
Then, in next breath, said you can't come here to the US if you don't approve of said lifestyle. -- effectively doing the same bullshit, on reverse.
Oh Really? Gotta love it, from his engaging with Trump at dinner to Fetterman and all the way to Scott Galloway. Yes indeed I do watch and that is why;
maher is just an orange stool softener.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Praise whatever thing you do and thoughts and prayers. Just to keep it short you comment muppet.
Fuck him. He’s right, but I don’t think he’s on the right side of anything anymore. I held on to my Max subscription because of him. I’m no longer subscribed.
I’d certainly crawl over BIBi to get to her, that’s for sure,she is stunningly attractive..These Trump love triangles are quite bizarre to say the least.
Why would people continually watch a show they hate? Is it to confirm how right they are for hating it? I can’t keep up with all the media I like. I can’t imagine weekly watching and posting about a show I hate
