Maher’s comedy bits are called “New Rules,” and last night’s 9-minute episode was called “New Rules: Everything is broken.” Maher highlights Trump’s new dance, the “Icky Shuffle,” often performed to The Village People’s song, “YMCA”, with the dance accompanied by salacious gestures. Instead of “YMCA,” Maher suggests that the new American Anthem is Dylan’s “Everything […]

Here’s this week’s comedy/news bit on Bill Maher’s “Real Time” show. His topic is voters who can’t seem to agree on a Presidential candidate, and how they should be voting for Kamala Harris.

Roan has touted the virtues of open-mindedness, which…

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 […]

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 […]
