Bill Maher Speaks

Bill Maher is funny until he is goring your personal ox. Then he needs to be cancelled. Unlike the unfunny late night hosts, at least BM has the nut sack to call a spade a spade. Lately the few video clips that get shared of his various opinions, I find myself in agreement with him quite a bit.

But is it him changing or you changing.

I am thinking he is awakening to what a horrendous mess Biden has made of his term.

These Two Issues Will Drive Voters to Trump​

The red-pilled Maher said, according to Fox News, “that left-wing propaganda is so predatory towards American school children, parents will be forced to vote for Trump, if he runs again.” He may be right. The Left has gone off the rails so resoundingly during the administration of Joe Biden’s handlers and has doubled and tripled and quadrupled down in its war on reality with such fanatical resolve, that there must be numerous Leftists around the country who realize how crazy the Democrats have gotten, and have had enough.

Farfetched? Not at all. Maher’s guest Julia Ioffe, who has impeccable credentials as a Leftist journalist (New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, MSNBC, PBS, you get the idea) said that even the negative aspects of Trump, whom every Leftist knows to be the focus of evil in the modern world, “weren’t bad enough for people to dissuade them for voting for him.”

Maher then explained that whether or not someone would actually do the last thing any bona fide Leftist could possibly contemplate doing, voting for Trump, “depends on what your priority [is].” He added: “To me, the two biggest issues are democracy and the environment. Those are my two big – one and two.” However, he was aware that others had different priorities: “But I don’t have kids,” Maher went on. “I know people who say, ‘I have kids, and I don’t like it when they come home and say, uh, they divided the class today into oppressors and oppressed. And if I change my sex, I don’t have to tell my parents.’ There’s s— like that going on.”

Maher: ‘Emotional hemophiliacs on social media telling us what we can’t do’ are ruining Halloween​

HBO host Bill Maher is fed up with people being offended over Halloween costumes and with woke progressives banning anything that threatens their “fragile sensibilities,” asserting that if they don’t like it, “just stay the f*** home.”

Halloween is typically a happy time of year with parties, costumes, candy, and celebrations that include more than a few adult beverages.

But every year, the left tries to cancel the holiday, throwing cold water on anything that even remotely seems fun. Wokesters are perpetually offended on Halloween everywhere they look and the host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” has had enough.


“If Halloween is too much for your fragile sensibilities and you’re worried about seeing someone wearing something that’s on the forbidden costume list, just stay the f*** home. Every year we go through this bullsh*t. Lists of costumes you better not wear, lest the night of irreverent dress-up spiral into something fun,” Maher stated Friday night, torching the “cancel” crowd.

Bill Maher to the Progressive Left: You Think You Want A Revolution? Study What Happens When They “Spin Out of Control”​

“Maher likened that situation to John Lennon’s song ‘Revolution,’ which called out people who carried pictures of Chairman Mao”









Deadline has a good write up:

Maher turned serious during his New Rules editorial, noting how the woke are trying to reinvent the very nature of human beings. He talked about the Red Guard movement in China, where people would attack those accused of not toeing the ideological line, making them wear dunce caps and publicly shaming them.

Such tactics, Maher said, were an attempt to change things by screaming at it, a problem then — and now, again, becoming more and more a fact of life here in the US.
. . . . That was the modern version of what the Red Guard was doing. “If you can’t see the similarities between (Kilborn) and that, the person who needs reeducation is you,” Maher said.
He wrapped up his editorial by pointing out how Winston Marshall, the former banjo player of Mumord & Sons, was forced to step away from the band and issue a cringing apology for endorsing a controversial book.
“Pain from a book?” Maher asked. “Not unless he hit the drummer over the head with it.”
Maher likened that situation to John Lennon’s song “Revolution,” which called out people who carried pictures of Chairman Mao, and “ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow.”
“There was a guy who understood how good intentions could turn,” Maher said.

Maher accuses Biden of ‘tragedy porn’ for trotting out family of Tyre Nichols at SOTU: ‘Exploitative’​

“I feel like this is tragedy porn,” Maher remarked concerning the news. “I really feel like this is gross. You know, it’s too soon to impose on that family now in their hour of grief to help you politically. I mean, it’s stunt casting, which they always do at the State of the Union address. And I just, I just feel it’s… we should be better than that.”

“It’s exploitative of a family in grief, newly in grief,” he charged echoing the sentiments of many Americans.

Maher’s panelists, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), both took exception to Maher’s claim. They predictably defended the president for his actions.

It's not going to happen, but I think it would be better if the SOTU stopped being a televised address. It has no relevance, it's now a pep rally for the party in the White House, and that goes for everyone. The last one I bothered to watch all of it was after 9/11. When you can have half the chamber crossing their arms, booing and refusing to stand, while the other side goes apoplectic over the smallest syllable - it's pointless. I find them more mind-numbing than your typical campaign speech.

It IS required by the Constitution - but - it doesn't have to be a speech, in person. For most of our first hundred years - it was a written report. Jimmy Carter's last SOTU was a written report; understandable, because the economy was in ruins and he had just been trounced after serving one term.

And much as I usually despise the smug sonofabitch, I'm surprised at how often I'm in complete agreement with him, no matter whose ox he gores.

Having the Tyre family at his speech will only hurt the Police.
He was killed by black police officers, it was basically a black on black crime.
I suppose he will try to slant that, but the incident only points out that blacks have this affinity toward violence even in those who are police officers.

IMO he would be much better off if they weren't there.

The problem is that when he does get to your ox and you happen to be quite knowledgeable on the subject, you realize that he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. And if he gets it wrong literally every time it's about something I know, how often is he getting it right when I don't know?

I never thought he needed to be cancelled, but I find the man absolutely insufferable. Even when I agree with the mother ****er (which is annoyingly often these days), I just yell at my TV for him to just shut the ever-loving **** up!

His sanctimonious attitude, and his smarmy tone of voice, and arrogant facial expressions just makes me want to deliver one of these right to his suck-hole.

It like sometimes I wanna become woke just to piss him off.
Then I remember those people are even worse than he is and I wanna like him to spite them ... then I remember how nauseating he is so I wanna....

Bill Maher calls out lack of audience support for Democrats to admit 'some people belong in jail'


Maher has received backlash for attacking the Democratic Party for its 'woke' policies

"Oh, they need to get out in front of it. They need — I want a Democrat to stand up and say, ‘you know something? Some people belong in jail,’" Begala responded, with few audience members clapping in agreement.

"One clap for that! I think that’s very interesting," Maher joked as more audience members began applauding.

Maher continued, "Let’s just pause there. One person is like, yes, some people in jail and everybody else is going, no, they don’t, nobody belongs in jail."

"I’m going to go out on a limb, some people do belong in jail," Maher added.

Bill Maher: Transgenders Go ‘Too Far’ In Making Demands Of Others, They ‘Want To Shut Down Debate’​

“I don’t really agree. I mean, I think the trans community is asking for too much,” Maher said. “Again, the difference between liberal and woke.”

“And it’s great we live in a time where people like that can freely live the lives they should live with all the dignity and protection of the law that we can afford them, like anybody else in society. I think that’s the liberal point of view,” Maher said before transitioning into explaining how woke people view the matter.

“The woke point of view is something very different, like — ‘well, babies are born now and just jump ball, we don’t know what they are,’” Maher mocked. “‘Congratulations, you have a boy. Well, let’s not be hasty. There’s a penis. That could be an indication of a male, but it’s — it’s really– we’ll find out later. And we can always get rid of it.'”

“And it’s not wrong to have this discussion,” Maher continued, noting that woke people try to claim that even having the discussion is a form of hate or a phobia, a tactic that is used to shut down debate.

COVID ‘Dissenters Are Looking Pretty Good,’ Bill Maher Says​

“The Wuhan lab leak theory being just one example — [top COVID official Dr. Anthony] Fauci himself was seriously considering that this was a likely origin for the virus,” the actor said.

“How could it not be a possibility?” Maher said incredulously. “It’s a lab in Wuhan where the virus started that studied the virus and was doing gain of function research on the virus. How could it not be?!”

Another guest on the show, liberal MSNBC analyst John Heilemann toed the party line, blaming former President Donald Trump for “politicizing” the issue and putting the lab-leak theory in doubt.

“If you go back to that time, why do people seize on the notion that they’ll reject the lab-leak theory? Because like everything else in COVID, Donald Trump politicized it from day one,” he said.

“His thing in that first two weeks was ‘kung flu.’ And it was not just that it started in a lab, but then that the Chinese had released it on the world, that it was a bioweapon. This wasn’t a leak. It was just not like there was an accident in the lab. The notion that was put forward by the administration in some case was there was political interest to make China the villain,” Heilemann said.

But Maher pushed back. “So everybody else has to take his bait like that and double down on stupid?” he said.

Brand piled on, saying it wasn’t just Trump who politicized the virus.

“It seems that it’s not solely the responsibility of Donald Trump that this issue has become politicized. When we take the issue of natural immunity, the efficacy of masks, it’s difficult not to posit that perhaps increasingly a centralized authority becomes subject to inquiry that has never before face to because of the advancement of technology, because of our media ability to communicate, they are doubling down on authoritarianism,” Brand said.

For your consideration ...

Bill Maher Speaks

It this kinda like when EF Hutton says something?

You know what? Even though he was initially confused, I respect his honesty. There’s a reason that Sanders is so well-liked despite his crazy politics, and rest assured, he’d turn the United States into a socialist utopia if he could. Still, he owns what he is. If he doesn’t know something, he’ll just admit he doesn’t know. He doesn’t toe the far-left, woke line on every issue (especially in regard to the racialization of everything), and that’s actually earned him some scorn from social justice circles over the years.

Sanders is a true believer, but he’s not a race hustler looking to win power at any cost by driving division between Americans. That’s actually a bit refreshing to see in a Democrat Party that has otherwise turned every issue into one of supposed systemic bigotry.

As a sharp contrast to Sanders’ honesty, the MSNBC hack chimed in at the end disagreeing with Maher’s definition of equity as being the guarantee of outcome. Why? Because like most Democrats, he feels as if he must toe the line no matter what. Everyone knows the push for equity is utopian nonsense that actually harms more people than it helps. But the MSNBC hack can’t just admit that because equity has become the baseline for everything the Democrat Party does.

Bill Maher Issues a Warning to Dems About Their Latest Effort to Get Trump​

They’re all thinking that they’ve “finally got him,” when it comes to former President Donald Trump over the prosecution filed by Alvin Bragg about money allegedly paid to Stormy Daniels.

Maher pointed out how America didn’t hold the “sex scandal” against Bill Clinton regarding Monica Lewinsky when it came to voting, and that they seemed to ignore his perjury. Clinton got impeached, but then he still had a high approval rating.

Warning for graphic language:
