Bill Maher: "Is anyone else watching the Queens funeral?

[prodigitalson]

I'm on season 3"

[sprinkleeninow]

1. Not I.

It's been reported that people were in line for 20+ hrs. to view her coffin.

[NJCher]

2. No, of course not

But as I flipped through channels, I said to myself that it appears other nations have their segment of insane people.

[DavidDvorkin]

3. No more than I'm watching Bill Maher.

[Duncan Grant]

4. +1

…

[CentralMass]

5. +1

[BigmanPigman]

6. Ditto!

Maher has gotten more Libertarian by the minute. I can hardly stand to listen to him for more than 3 minutes before I start swearing at the TV. His anti-masking BS was the nail in his coffin as far as I am concerned.

7. I stopped watching when he blasted Biden's speech about MAGA as "divisive."

It was the most “Enlightened Centrism” opinion by Bill ever. He and his guests claimed Biden should have called out Liberals in his speech as well, and, been softer in his language towards Trump. 🙄

That, and claiming people shouldn’t work from home because it’s lazy and doesn’t allow them to socialize.

His guests all share his ridiculous takes now. It’s painful to watch.

[NCDem47]

8. Same.

I'd tolerate some of his positions I didn't agree with, but I kept watching, because, overall, he was enteratining and I was aligned with most of his thinking.

Covid changed that. So, so whiny. Unleashed eveything he hated about the Nanny state. Plus, the whole brodcasting from his home without an audience was boring and flat.

Haven't watched since.

[BigmanPigman]

19. I kept giving him more "chances" for the same reasons.

I try not to pigeon hole myself into being closed minded to both sides, etc but I had to draw the line. His "both sides" BS is why I won't watch CNN anymore too. I've done the "let's listen to the other side or we are as bad as they are" enough to know when to edit the idiots who propose this viewpoint at this time in our precarious democracy.

[BlackSkimmer]

9. I think he was making a joke about the length of the coverage.

Pretty sure about that.

[prodigitalson]

11. well, yeah

the second part of the joke was " I've thrown away bread twice since she died."

[BlackSkimmer]

16. That's pretty funny.

I've been watching the coverage, and the length doesn't bother me. But there certainly is a lot of it.

[prodigitalson]

17. It doesn't bother me either...

I've liked watching some of the ancient ceremonies that have never been seen by a TV audience. But much of the coverage isn't informative.

My father actually had dinner with her and Phillip in the 90s. Over drinks before the meal was served my dad asked Phillip about his days in the navy and the prince said something along the lines of "I've often wondered what life would have been like had I stayed in the service"

[Demovictory9]

20. It has been a.lot.. Kids vigil, grandkids.vigil, walk behind and other elements the casket

Not criticizing..just never experienced a funeral/memorial with so many components

[XanaDUer2]

10. I watched a lot of it nt

[BlackSkimmer]

13. I'll be watching the actual funeral tomorrow.

I watched the princes' vigil and the grandchildren's vigil. Very touching.

[XanaDUer2]

14. Yes, I saw that

I'll be watching the funeral

[dembotoz]

12. when jfk was shot the coverage was pretty constant then too

[prodigitalson]

15. that was slightly less expected nt

[Raine]

18. I've been watching most all of it

I have kept my TV on the BBC to follow what's going on.
