Here’s Bill Maher’s latest (8-minute) comedy bit from “Real Time”. Surprisingly, it’s very patriotic. Maher extols the Harris’s campaign emphasis on patriotism and the privilege of being an American, but kvetches that the young folk aren’t buying it. His example: the vocal attempts of pro-Palestinian protestors to bring down America. Yes, whether or not they’re […]

Bill Maher: comedy on comity

Earlier today I criticized Angel Eduardo for making a useful but un-original plea for comity between people of conflicting ideologies. (Try that with Jewish students and pro-Palestinian demonstrators!) Apparently a false rumor started that J.D. Vance (whom he calls a “giant asshole”) was copulating with his couch, leading to Maher’s claim that we’re all willing […]

Hillary Clinton has long been one of the most anti-free speech figures in American politics, including calling upon European officials to force Elon Musk to censor American citizens under the infamous Digital Services Act (DSA). She is now suggesting the arrest of Americans who spread what she considers disinformation. It is a crushingly ironic moment…

Here are two clips from the latest Real Time show: the introductory monologue and the longer comedy bit, which this week is on the interminable campaigning going on. This 3½-minute intro is about the debate and Trump’s abysmal showing (he doesn’t forget to bring in Haitians and dogs). His imitation of Trump at the end […]

Bill Maher won’t vote for someone who conveys “ick”

Although Maher is always accused of being a right-winger, that’s not true at all; he’s more or less a left-centrist, like me. Here he defines “ick” with some graphic examples, and says that Trump has a bad case of it, and that’s the best thing Democrats have going for them. But. . . . he […]

Joe Rogan has just dropped some amazing video of Donald Trump in 2011. Watch. That was in 2011. The crowd gives him a standing ovation. Barbara Walters, who used to host The View, greets Trump as “My friend”, and he engages in hugs and kisses with… Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg! He even says the […]

Bill Maher’s comedy/news piece: adding religion to an assassination attempt

in television, TV shows
Here’s the latest Bill Maher comedy shtick from his “Real Time Show.” It’s a good one, too. This time he argues “there’s nothing, not even an assassination attempt, that can’t be made at least at little worse by adding religion. Since the bullet that was meant for Donald Trump missed him last Saturday, Republicans have […]
