OMG Bill Mahar

[Nikki28]

I apologize if this has been mentioned. but I am not use to it. I was scrolling through tic toc and he called in on a panel and said the verdict was a shame because it was a blue state and said would he be getting indited in a red state. He was mad as hell. Has he now become a Trump supporter or has he smoked too much coke or whatever he uses. He sounds like a Trump supporter to me.Thoughts please?

[jimfields33]

1. I do not think he was a trump supporter

But obviously getting convicted in a red state would more than likely shut the republicans up. I didn’t watch the show, but there is a thread where many here said it was good last night.

[Demsrule86]

6. I never watch the show. I can watch Fox if I want to be inundated with right wing talking points, Biden attacks and

GOP types.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Nope.

[jimfields33]

23. Yep.

[Kingofalldems]

26. My post had nothing to do with the link.

[jimfields33]

27. Mine did.

[marble falls]

2. It was highly inconsiderate of TFG to commit so much of his crime in NYC. I hope TFG apologizes to Billfuckingmaher ...

... fortunately, TFG will be tried in Georgia for Lord Maher's viewing pleasure, and then in Florida. I hope this is pleasing to his wishes.

He's turning into Dennis Miller Jr.

[2naSalit]

11. He's turning into Dennis Miller Jr.

Only worse.

[Traildogbob]

32. A-Fucking-men

His mouth diarrhea means equally to me any word from Bannon’s mouth. I use to LOVE his show but for a number of years now I can’t stand his face.
A dear lifelong friend of mine is Mormon and has hated him way before I gave up, now we both feel the same, except I think I despise him more. Like a post a few after this one, ole Billie will get his red wish in Georgia and Florida.
I almost wish God was real just to know ole Billie will be poor and in hell. And Satan don’t allow any weed.
Sick of rich loud mouths that will never feel the hell trump and MAGA can bring to us.
OK, I’m done. Sorry to rant.

[dalton99a]

33. +1

[PatSeg]

39. Exactly

There will be red states yet to come. His comments were ridiculous being this isn't supposed to be a political indictment. It shouldn't matter where he committed the crime - he was indicted, prosecuted, and found guilty.

The past few years, Maher has gotten really strange. It seemed to start during the pandemic; he never recovered from the lockdown. Also, I think he has some issues with getting older. The pathways in his brain seem to be misfiring.

[Fla Dem]

3. Never liked him, never watch his show. Think he has an overinflated ego.

He thinks he know everything and treats guests who don't agree with him like children.

[marble falls]

38. He lost me when he apoligized to W for being so tough on him and he asked us to go easy on a "war time" President.

[flying rabbit]

4. He's a contrarian.

Gotta be edgy.

[Paladin]

18. I would have said "fucking asshole."

But "contrarian" works fairly well.

[PatSeg]

40. He used to be a contrarian

which was a lot of his appeal. Even if you disagreed with him, you could respect his opinion. Now he's all over the place. That's not so much edgy as weird and unpredictable.

[Demsrule86]

5. Why would I respond in anyway to this post? It contains right wing talking points no matter what pundit spouted them.

[Tom of Temecula]

7. Bill is fighting hard to become the new Dennis Miller

[RandiFan1290]

8. Triggered with Bill Maher

[Prairie Gates]

9. If he gets convicted in Georgia, it's gonna be, "Well, that's Fulton County..."

Y'know, "because of the blacks."

He can only be convicted in the reddest county of West Texas by an all white jury, all of whom own at least one item of Trump clothing. Anything less than that is unfair politics! Good thought, Bill Maher! What an edgelord.

[TSExile]

13. Slight correction...

...all white MALE right-wing jury.

Proceed...

[dem4decades]

10. He was a shitty actor that somehow got fame. He's Chaci with an attitude.

[edisdead]

12. only problem

Liberals and “progressives” love him and will now be watching his propaganda.

[PatSeg]

41. Not too many liberals and progressives at DU

love him anymore. All my liberal friends and relatives can't stand him anymore and there was a time when we never missed his show.

[dem4decades]

45. If Liberals and progressives can be swayed by his propaganda, we're done anyway. I thought they were smarter than that.

[Abolishinist]

54. I like Mr. Maher, really enjoy his show. But apparently by your standards I'm a dummy.

OMFG, weep weep weep.

Tell me, how can I ever make it back to being a good Liberal/Progressive? Or should I just face the truth... I'm too dumb to do so?

[dem4decades]

55. You're swayed by Maher's propaganda? My post said I hoped progressives were smarter than that.

But if you find Maher's arguments compelling and think that the verdict in the NY case a sham, I apologize.

[womanofthehills]

61. Here's the problem- it's revitalized his base

(I just got a text from Biden campaign asking for $20 because Trump raised $141 million in May. )

“Biden HQ: $141 million. That’s how much Donald Trump and his MAGA lackeys raised in the month of May.

What’s even more startling, his supporters made over 2 million donations to his campaign last month.

We know we’ve said it before: But a lot of people have already given $5, $10, and even our average donation of $51. And they are counting on you to do the same so we can defeat Donald Trump together. If that’s all you need

Unless supporters like you stand with President Biden in important moments like this, we risk falling behind Donald Trump’s fundraising numbers. And etc etc

[Silent Type]

14. Maher is not a trump fan, heck trump sue him for demanding he prove he's not child of an Orangutan. And there's this--

[beaglelover]

25. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that bit!!! I laugh so hard when he brings it up every week!

[liberalla]

31. Perfect!

He's just so silly looking when he does that!

[PatSeg]

42. Oh yes, that IS priceless

So strange that Trump has no idea how goofy he looks.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. It's time for Bill Maher to retire.

I saw through him back when the anti-Muslim sentiments in this country began over 9/11. He simply could not understand why white people had to be stopped and searched in airports. The man is a not so closeted self-entitled white man. Like those bathrooms that have an exposed glass wall for full exposure, or flick the switch to shutter opaquely. I won't call him a conservative entitled white man, because he's not conservative. In Bill Maher we see the truth about Libertarians. They are just as racists as conservative white males in this time and era. And, unless the networks are into exposing this demographic to help true Civil Rights minded Liberals to distance themselves from Bill Maher types, I don't see the purpose in promoting his show.

[Paladin]

21. Nicely put.

Extra points for the "self-entitled white man" description.

[Abolishinist]

56. And those thoughts would be based on...

...what exactly?

Obviously, your 'thoughts' that Mr. Maher has always been a maga supporter have some basis in reality, i.e. are based on some evidence you could put forward to support your conclusion, right?

[Rhiannon12866]

60. He asks his guests every week to make sure they're voting for Joe Biden over TFG

Last week former Congressman Ken Buck said he wasn't voting for TFG, but wasn't yet sold on Biden and Bill responded that at least he was coming around.

[J_William_Ryan]

19. "...I was scrolling through tic toc..."

Not a reliable source.

Could be an AI deepfake.

[DemocratInPa]

20. I honestly believe Bill was told..

To switch his stance on things... I really don't think he believes what he says. I mean he had a TikTok video off set where he was with a comedian who was ripping Republicans and he was laughing his ass off.

[Abolishinist]

52. He has stated that he was bullied and ostracized as a kid for being short.

Apparently you approve of such behaviour. Should he have carried a gun to better protect himself?

[JustAnotherGen]

24. He's past his

Expiration date.

If we take one step back - Why didn't he commit the crime in a Red state then?

[returnee]

28. That's just silly.

But also dangerous.
TSF Convict broke NYS law. If a red state wants to indict him for breaking their state’s law (and then, ironically, acquit him) that’s their business.

[themaguffin]

29. No, he doesn't support or like trump. He was even sued by trump.

[Picaro]

30. He's an entitled ass

Something about being wealthy that causes the mind and heart to deteriorate. An unjustified arrogance takes over.

Maher is paid to judge and opine and criticize. He now thinks that his opinion should always matter—even when it doesn’t.

[JohnSJ]

34. I didn't see the show, and don't plan to, but sounds like he is pushing the RFK jr., trump bullshit

Frankly, from my perspective he is a misogynist anti- vaxer jackass, who does a lot of his stand-up shows in red states, and goes out of his way to cater to his fans there.

I also don't find him particularly funny.

The irony is he always complains about how the left is full of themselves with their "cancel culture" on anyone who disagrees with them. Of course, what HE fails to recognize is that he does the exact same thing against anyone who disagrees with him.

[dalton99a]

35. A jury for Trump should be drawn from a pool of certified Trump donors.

[FlyingPiggy]

36. I used to watch him a very long time ago. He's become unwatchable. I can't stand him.

[JohnSJ]

37. Again Maher is demonstrating his intellectual powers. Where were the crimes committed Bill? I may be wrong, but

I don't think these particular crimes were committed in a RED STATE.

[Cha]

46. Read all of the charges against Trump in the New York hush-money case

The People of the State of New York allege that Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/read-all-of-charges-against-trump-in-the-new-york-hush-money-case

Maher is enabling TSF.. by Crazy Talk.

[JohnSJ]

49. He sure is Cha

[Hassler]

43. Olberman went to Cornell with him

He says Maher was a sniveling asshole then and nothing has changed.

[LiberalFighter]

44. If he is such a legal expert he should become a lawyer.

So the bar association can disbar him.

Because he doesn't understand the laws are not the same in every state. Or cares.

[Danmel]

47. He's always been a misogynistic asshole

Now he a larger scale asshole

[pwb]

48. The Florida case could have gone forward faster Bill?

With all the trump trial delays and his Suppress court blocking at every turn forcing N Y to go first was the plan. In reality trump is guilty everywhere.

[Crunchy Frog]

50. I used to watch his show, and usually really liked it.

He started going south several years ago, and eventually became completely unwatchable.

I tried watching a couple of times in the aftermath of the insurrection, but even that wasn't enough to pull his head out of his ass. I guess it's been 5 or 6 years since I've found him even remotely watchable.

It seems like it's a pathway taken by many aging comedians.

[SweetT]

51. The definition of a sychophant

would be a picture of Bill M. He is one of the media lines of defense when the financial thieves get caught and are held accountable. Bill is detestable and deplorable and a SuckTrumper for sure.

[Abolishinist]

53. It seems you don't have any sort of link to this,

only what you remember. And of course context matters as well, at least to me.

I really would like to understand your claim that Mr. Maher is a supporter of the former. Would you care to share something to back this up? I mean, we make fun of MAGAs, and rightly so, for putting forth baseless claims, so I'm looking forward to a logical argument from you to back this up.

[Xavier Breath]

57. Friday night he called Joe too feeble to voice the party message

and wished aloud (again) for someone younger to step in.

Fuck Bill Maher.

[orleans]

58. here's what i wrote about him in may

who booked this shrimpy, withered scrotum to come on and insult biden and try to hawk his crap book as if his fucking opinion means a fucking thing? it doesn't. the olbermann story of him speaks volumes: maher is a phoney, sniveling, crybaby, dumbass, blowhard prick. the end.
