36. Once the majority thought the world was flat

Didn’t make them right.

When Maher says something right, I will applaud him for it. But when he parrots false RW talking points, I’ll call him out for it.

But to say he can’t be criticized is just cult of personality thinking.

You know, what Maher needs to realize, the divide isn't between left vs right. Initech Mar 2019 #1
and that's what it AGAIN comes down to.....rich vs poor....us vs them..... a kennedy Mar 2019 #3
