Bravo Bill Maher on your tirade against Mueller

Last edited Sat Apr 27, 2019, 01:49 AM - Edit history (1)

I am sure that Rhiannon12866 will post it as it become available.

Finally taking off the gloves with which all of us have been treating Mueller, the respect, and throw everything in his face.

One example: DJTJR did not come voluntarily - so make him come!

I still watch the show and I still think he’s very talented. Nobody else could do that show.

But over the past few years he has spent an awful lot of time complaining about Millenials and political correctness on college campuses. He goes out of his way to work little insults into his show.

I work with several milenials and I just don’t see what he is seeing. The people I work with are not “soft” or overly sensitive and they work hard. I don’t think the stereotype holds up from what i can see. I am a Gen Xer btw. The whole “PC is out of control on campuses” thing is being ridiculously exaggerated. Colleges have always been places of political activism. I think the whole thing is ginned up to try and get the students to give up lest they get insulted by some aasshole on the right with a radio show.

Maher should consider not giving a platform to the Coulters and Milo’s of the world. He was gushing over Milo when he had him on a few years ago and I found that disgusting. Maybe has a hard time distinguishing old school conservatives from the fascists, I think the media in general is having a hard time making that distinction and it is allowing the fascists to walk onto the stage,

Maher has become increasingly critical of Democrats and the left while not challenging the conservatives on the show. Even to the point of parroting right wing talking points.

He is witheringly critical of Rs in general, and Trump in particular.

Maher bashing is an odd pass time here, and I don't get it, especially when there are posts from people who clearly barely watch his show.

good intentions into government policy has made him wealthy, famous, and of course influential for those with a taste for it. I'd like to see what the voting behaviors among them were. Sub, I'm sure.

Bill Maher Asks Liberals Who Didn’t Vote for Hillary Clinton ‘What Do You Say Now?’ “Real Time” hosts says winning the next election “begins with learning the difference between an imperfect friend and a deadly enemy.”

Yes, but this from him makes me want to spit. More concentration on the deadly enemy and less on spinning the many supposed imperfections of good people into political identities would at least have made Maher somewhat less of a hypocrite, but also less appealing.

He knows a lot of his viewers are already disaffected and eager to be told they're right, or they wouldn't be coming for the toxic mix he's selling for such a handsome profit. Net worth a tidy $100 million at last count.

the czarina, but I think Barr shut him down before he was finished.

One month Barr was in and the probe was over. Mueller should've at least said he commited obvious obstruction since he let him off the hook on blatant, in public on TV collusion ("Russia, if you're listening...&quot

the legislators can ask him why he didn't subpoena those people. They can also ask if there was any pressure to wrap up the investigation.

In his editorial New Rule, Bill takes Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller to task for his failure to hold President Trump accountable.

And that he'd make up for it this week - but maybe this worked out even better since he had time to read and digest it - and gauge the reactions by "both sides." I agree that this was a powerful New Rules, one of his best!

It is really inexplicable. I am hoping Mueller spills his guts to Congress and explains why he dropped the ball. But if that explanation is anything other than Barr shut him down, then Mueller will go down in history as putting DOJ "policy" over keeping America safe from Trump's criminality.
