If you want to understand how fascism takes root watch the convo with Smith Maher and the D Congressman. Watch how Smith and Maher bend over backwards to defend this Fascist we now have in the WH . They were literally cucks for Trump.

ecapps68.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is so obvious that Bill Maher is terrified of Satan Trump, which is why he spends so much airtime kissing his ass and bashing the Democrats.

caterinaparenzo.bsky.social•34 days ago

Bill Maher @realtimers.bsky.social (and Chris Cuomo) now answer to and dance for King #FOTUS "Trump is cool now." The POS pardoned 1500 J6 mob, some chanting to hang Mike Pence. Cool, huh?

Love watching your shows.

a-starry-knight.bsky.social•34 days ago

"On the spectrum!" To make a joke & blame 2 Heil Hitler salutes to autism. Awful!

Next time you have a loudmouth on there who's agreeing with your bigoted remarks, you should have a loudmouth to counter it.

"Trump is cool now" Completely disgusted.

A lot of cowardice & kiss the ring activity.

a-starry-knight.bsky.social•34 days ago

Bill, I tried to watch this episode. I became nauseated as I listened to you spew lies about trans kids. No snitching in California, bc these kids are abused/killed/kicked out. Then, agreeing about denying humans due process due to status? You must be really scared of Trump or you're a fanboy.

philysportsfan.bsky.social•34 days ago

Agree!!

osgoodfielding.bsky.social•33 days ago

Right now, we could use a voice that speaks truth to power- that’s not you. And if you were ever funny, you certainly aren’t now. Most likely that’s why you no longer have a comedian join your panel anymore. The comparison of wits would be most unflattering to you.

mark-thatsme.bsky.social•34 days ago

Got so angry listening to @rokhanna.bsky.social. Reminded me why the Democratic Party pissed me off the last 4 years. Stephen A. Smith was so on point! Seeing some of these comments prove that the Democratic Party will never be in power again. I’m an independent. Wake up with your fat left bullshit

cab61.bsky.social•35 days ago

What liberals want people shot??

cab61.bsky.social•35 days ago

Bill, Bill PLEASE don’t talk about shooting ANYBODY!!

thejimjsmith.bsky.social•34 days ago

Wow Bill! You said, “too lazy to do the work to really understand an issue”.

On healthcare Bill, that describes YOU!

You were close when you started talking about the disparity in billing, even @ the same facility for the same procedure.

“Standard fee” is a tax write off!

Oh, and fuck you too!

walentineswe.bsky.social•33 days ago

I just don't get you people...

If Bill dosnt say "I hate Donald Trump" once every 2 min it's sounds on you people that he have joined MAGA.

As a Swede I can say that this show is the only show I have seen from the US who dares to criticise everyone.

phyllismusk.bsky.social•34 days ago

Love love Jesse, have had a crush on Stephen even on GH, and the other guy. I like that I don’t know the name of a politician from another state because they aren’t doing crazy shit. Stephen and Bill, Breaking News: TRUMP IS NOT COOL. Sure some folks think he is, but they’re especially not cool!

millienyc.bsky.social•35 days ago

Stephen A. Smith is connected to the people. On target. Good show.

⚖️🏀⚖️

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

He said it doesn't "pass the mustard." The expression is "pass muster."

pleasantsurprise.bsky.social•33 days ago

actually, its the Republicans who have been focused on trans issues:

sdo444.bsky.social•34 days ago

Jesse E is a good guy; I felt very moved by what he said:
1) his inspiring activist wife
2) why can't techo bros use some of their $$$ to help the needy?
3) his affection for Polish non-Jews, he saw working passionately to remember the devastating abuse & horrors towards Jews during Holocaust

toddgillett.bsky.social•35 days ago

Will you turn Stephen A’s mic down…or give him a drink?

ridleys.bsky.social•31 days ago

Bill if you’re going to rant about the misinformed you should know that United Health owns a PBM which is among the big 3 that have been overcharging patients to the tune of $7 billion over the past few years. While violence is not the answer the support for Mangione is the canary in the coal mine.

ogzensei.bsky.social•34 days ago

Great episode
Jesse and Stephan A were great guests

christina5160.bsky.social•34 days ago

Hey DINO Bill… while the orange wonder dismantles the government let’s focus on petty nonsense. 🙄

genxoutraged.bsky.social•32 days ago

Can Stephen A Smith or Bill Maher count who is actually bringing up trans folks? It’s Republicans.

itswhateverfam.bsky.social•32 days ago

Bill’s monologue was about Gen z, no policymakers in the bunch. Not a peep about the Republican congress and presidency. Did either he or Stephen A go do their homework on any of the 98 executive orders Trump signed. Who’s really the lazy one, Bill?

rose-aphrodite.bsky.social•34 days ago

We don't even get it. No notice, no view. That is what prejudice is.

yaquinalady.bsky.social•35 days ago

Women were paid $.83 on the dollar till Covid. Now $.82. 2025. Wake up Bill. Look past your own life… discrimination is real. Everywhere

rose-aphrodite.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes, women are paid less, but they are not even on Real Time's DEI radar, they discuss only black men and Asian men. Women don't count for discussion on DEI issues.

pdhue.bsky.social•34 days ago

Veterans are also part of DEI.

yaquinalady.bsky.social•33 days ago

Because all types of persons are veterans

pdhue.bsky.social•33 days ago

Absolutely. Maher lives in his own little world and tends to focus on the nuances which perturb him. DEI benefits everyone and it is a disservice to all of us when it's purpose is distorted and maligned.

yaquinalady.bsky.social•32 days ago

He’s becoming more callous

yaquinalady.bsky.social•33 days ago

And this is up from $.58 in the early 70s. Read ShortChanged by Yang if you want to learn what’s happening to women.

And much worse for WOC.💔

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

And his stupid audience laughed when Bill was reading all the things Hegseth's ex wife said about how abusive he was.

flutterfli007.bsky.social•27 days ago

no matter how many ads you show me for this dreck, I see nothing that makes me want to watch

313to212.bsky.social•35 days ago

Stephan A Smith couldn't make a point with out yelling at us. Such a boor.
Jesse Eisenberg was delightful. For those of you that haven't listened or watched the show yet, you can turn it off Eisenberg is on.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

He's adorable

pixelactiv.ist•35 days ago

Great guests, amped.

Before I watch it, Im absolutely predicting some convo around Jesse playing Zuck 15 years later 😅

dems4change.bsky.social•35 days ago

Normalizing Trump is not good for any Democracy.Meanwhile the biggest theft of wealth inequality will happen over the next four years while censoring science, eliminating education standards, and human rights/decency. Democracy is fragile. Welcome to the Oligarchy!

clearandloud.bsky.social•30 days ago

I caught part of a Stephen A Smith rant where he is giving Trump credit for trying to do things he knows are illegal and will be struck down in the courts -- as "keeping his promises".

I think I'll see if my wife gives me credit for trying to buy her a new Lexus with a Flonex coupon. I tried!

sirwallace66.bsky.social•35 days ago

You need to to have Stephen A. Smith on again. Fucking frank and real.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

I had no idea who he was but he sure was annoying

buffythevampire.bsky.social•34 days ago

also nothing about how Cheeto rolling back womens rights. Nothing about the deep racism and misogyny that lead to Republican win

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yeah, he was definitely less critical of trump this time and even more so of the left

buffythevampire.bsky.social•34 days ago

Maher gets up at Dems not listening to real life issues, then tells young people they are stupid for being upset at real life issues. And he defends EM. We know what it was

t1970im.bsky.social•34 days ago

Smith got it right more of Democrats should listen to him

mgvonrit.bsky.social•34 days ago

I enjoyed the show but the segment about Luigi did not state that he is the alleged shooter. I do think Bill had a point about hospital executives being fair game however.

harmfulelements.bsky.social•31 days ago

fishionista.bsky.social•35 days ago

I was prepared really not to like Stephen A Smith at all, and while I really do not like people who scream their point, I agreed with him more than I thought I would. He literally tore each side a new one...and it was terrific.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

He was an a-hole

fishionista.bsky.social•14 days ago

That's his shtick, but he made great points.

grateful101.bsky.social•34 days ago

I always find it entertaining to watch a panel of guys come up with why Trump won and not even a mention of “he wasn’t a woman”

jasunmark.bsky.social•34 days ago

So Bill… why do you repeat lies like “parents don’t put the sex on the birth certificate let the kid decide at 5”? You know that doesn’t actually happen but you say it and then blame “the democrats” for that happening.

osgoodfielding.bsky.social•33 days ago

Exactly.

milsma.bsky.social•35 days ago

Stephen Smith is annoying, maybe Lorenzo Sewell is hiring - and Bill Maher does this gum smacking sound that’s getting on my nerves.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

I know!! I can't stand that

donwest84.bsky.social•33 days ago

@rokhanna.bsky.social thank you for holding values first. Stephen Smith, Bill Maher, our rights are for every person in our national borders, and our values, not popularity, must guide policy. Willingness to compromise on values is what got us here.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

He thinks birthright citizenship is kind of crazy??

moniquelussier.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tiresome and unfunny again, yet each week I’m hopeful.
Worst take, seeing Elon throw 2 robust, enthusiastic Nazi salutes behind the presidential seal podium, Bill didn’t think he is a goddamn Nazi.
Stephen A. Smith was an excellent panelist.

airik68.bsky.social•34 days ago

Great show. I wish more people, like Stephen A Smith and you were heard by party leadership!

scorpiovenom.bsky.social•35 days ago

No thanks. I quit watching Maher when he was still doing his backyard covid shows.

heartmama.bsky.social•34 days ago

Same. I'm surprised anyone even watches this show anymore. Maher seems increasingly irrelevant.

osgoodfielding.bsky.social•33 days ago

Can’t wait for John Oliver to come back in a couple of weeks.

scorpiovenom.bsky.social•33 days ago

I so love his show. My only complaint is it's never long enough.

osgoodfielding.bsky.social•33 days ago

Mine too. He manages to fight the good fight, speak truth to power, be informative and be hilarious at the same time.

deportmusk9.bsky.social•33 days ago

How about those ratings billy? Go fuq your center/right self

janndc.bsky.social•34 days ago

Best interview Bill Maher has done in years. Jesse Eisenbergs reply when Bill asked him how he feels about these tech Bros hovering around Trump.
Jesse said" I just don't understand it, they have all this power and money already, why aren't they using their money to help people?" 👏👏👏👏

mockingjaysongs.bsky.social•32 days ago

Hey Bill, I can answer your Q from overtime. The crypto is how Russia and China can use POTUS like a puppet

It’s a “Let the bidding begin!” declaration, thus the timing of the launch

Your show now feels like you are attempting to obey the authoritarian in advance. Are you fearful or just losing your edge?

mikedaily.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ro Khanna for President.

gamedevforgood.bsky.social•30 days ago

Eat a bag of rancid d!cks.

malihoy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Bill Maher is still alive and had a show. He was boring and elitist 15 years ago, has it changed ?

hilariouspun.bsky.social•35 days ago

It's worse.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

Nope. He's still doing the old man yelling at the kids on his lawn. His audience seems like a bunch of stoners who only care about being high, who laugh at everything he says, even though it's not funny. I've noticed before that they don't react to his political stuff.

outragius.bsky.social•35 days ago

@rokhanna.bsky.social Correctly called out Bill and Stephen for talking outlier examples and attributing them to teh Dem party at large. It's disingenuous bullshit that feeds red meat to the MAGA base. Hey @realtimers.bsky.social guess what? It's the GOP that loves cancel culture more than anyone.

akuryo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Maher is a DINO through and through, he hates the GOP sure, but not nearly as much as he loves himself.

annominos.bsky.social•34 days ago

He's just butt hurt over all the criticism from the left when he made that comment about the "house ni--ers"

soulhowl.bsky.social•34 days ago

So sad, the catering to Trump now on this show. It’s subtle but clear. Can’t watch any more.

diffdrum1.bsky.social•34 days ago

I haven’t watched in years
