r/Maher

I always enjoyed his appearances on Real Time and wish we had more Democratic politicians like him.

I like how Maher, STILL, claims he’s a democrat and liberal but goes hard against anything liberals say and stand for. Going well out of his lane, supporting Bari Weiss (a complete right wing operative) who claims she’s a “liberal.” It’s obviously inaccurate and important to pay attention why they constantly lie about their political views.

CBS is completely stripping away 60 Minutes, and it’s on her watch. Maher always goes out of his way to support her; it’s worth paying attention.

BM seems decent at calling out BS but his pompous demeanor is annoying. Humility is not a concept he seems familiar with. Prove me wrong.

RT Overtime: Dan Crenshaw: "Every President believes Iran should not have a nuclear bomb. We don't want another North Korea."

This mentality is what drives the long list of American quagmires and paranoia.

Yes, North Korea has nukes. Moving the THAAD missile defense systems from S Korea to the Iran theater is the "So what" reality. Nuclear weapons are powerful for using as a deterrent. Everyone knows this but here we are saying any cost is fine to keep Iran from getting them.

Trump has now moved to the "Iran will obliterate all of the US if it gets the bomb" narrative. No surprise. WMDs all over again. He gets no push back because the US is simultaneously "the most powerful country on earth" and the most vulnerable somehow. This argument _always_ wins to drive more and more military <everything>, like Stars Wars 2 - Return of the The Golden Dome.

Say what you will about Maher, but he still criticized Trump during the podcast with Fetterman. Meanwhile Fetterman just kept launching against the democrats.

Maher has changed, but he’s not afraid to rip Trump. Fetterman doesn’t even criticize Trump.

Has anyone else noticed that Kimmel and Colbert's opening dialogues sound like how Bill used to sound, prior to Trump's reelection?

They say everything that Bill used to say and have takes on current issues that Bill's long time fans would seem to expect from him. As bonkers as everything that the administration is doing and with all the trouble we are facing, Bill is rambling about random issues from the fringe element that isn't representative of the Democrat party in general. It is so bizarre. I saw all of Bill's interview with Fetterman on Club Random and it was so odd, just an hour long echo chamber complaining about the Democrats but zero complaints about Republicans.

Either Bill is being blackmailed, being paid off or all that marijuana has smoked his brain...but he is not the same person he used to be even 2 years ago. We are in a time now where people just deny reality, change the subject and repeat the denials. We know Bill has changed, but the question is why? It is shame since he was so good at what he did, he had smart takes on issues but this new version he morphed into seems so intentional and artificial and disingenuous.

This is what it said..

I've been tuned out from Bill for a while now, but just watched the Fetterman interview from his podcast...

I found it honestly refreshing and honest. I don't deep-dive into Fetterman's record, but they point out he's voted with the Democrats 93% of the time. Yet, browsing reddit, you'd think Fetterman's gone full-maga.

I've loved Bill. I grew into adulthood never missing an episode of Real Time. Always agreed with Bill. But, Bill's cozying up to Trump, as well as ever-increasing HBO prices, made it easy for me to drift away. I decided to check out what's been going on with Club Random on YouTube and watched the latest Fetterman episode. I'm definitely still sus about the two of them, but they both did offer very convincing counterpoints to the hiveminds that live in the media, social or otherwise.

I also agree that my basic knowledge of the history of Israel, puts me 100% on their side. Not even a question. They're our homies in that part of the world and always have been. The outraged are, I agree, clueless people who are outraged on a very superficial, uneducated level, driven by social media.

Keep an open mind, people.
