Tim Ryan won’t die on the hill of birthright citizenship? Really Tim? So glad you lost.

bluemoonshampoo.bsky.social•14 days ago

I couldn't believe I heard that out of his mouth. Fuck you, Tim Ryan.

klead.bsky.social•14 days ago

I was floored. Hated the way Bill was so laissez-faire about it. White privilege is at the core of American Inhumanity.

reidrivenburgh.bsky.social•5 days ago

This "hill to die on" line of questioning is asinine to begin with. He shouldn't have accepted the framing.

klead.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah, for sure.

imitatinglife.bsky.social•14 days ago

Living in a bubble much? Tim Ryan saying because the dads in his circle support their little girls means that “girls being told they can’t” is no longer a real issue. Hey Tim, no one in my circle deals drugs, shoots up schools, or robs banks, so I guess those are no longer real issues either 🙄

bwoodward49.bsky.social•13 days ago

He didn't say it was true of all issues. I have a daughter and things are much better for her and girls in general since she was born.

imitatinglife.bsky.social•13 days ago

Sorry, may have been true a few years ago, but women’s rights are threatened now. New “voting security” bill will make it harder for women to vote (name won’t match birth certificate); AG of MO is suing Starbucks for hiring (what he believes to be) too many women. It’s going the wrong direction.

bwoodward49.bsky.social•13 days ago

When you're in the minority you need to have everyone on your side, generally.

bwoodward49.bsky.social•13 days ago

I agree. But, Tim Ryan is actually the kind of person needed to fight Trump. Because he will fight.
Not just protest.

imitatinglife.bsky.social•15 days ago

Wow, the panel won’t die on the hill of the 14th amendment? So parts of the Constitution are negotiable, now?

truedemocracy.bsky.social•13 days ago

#StartTheClock my ass! To have #KidRock on your show Bitching about how “Woke” the #NFL HALFTIME and inserting every aspect of White Fragility as #BillMaher simply agrees with a head nod was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. No more time for #RealTime! I’m so done! #BlackSky #FuckBill

galsviewpoint.bsky.social•15 days ago

I didn’t like Kid Rick before I saw him on Real Time, but now I dislike him even more.

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

No way was I going to watch that

Hard pass

pinkrbell.bsky.social•15 days ago

Didn't much appreciate the comment about Canada being the 51st State. It isn't funny. And why haven't the Democrats commented on that issue? Does America think it's ok for Trunp to be waging an economic war on Canada in order for us to surrender to him? And I thought we were friends.

rose-aphrodite.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trump wants to change the name to United States of Soviet Russia (USSR). His axis of evil is Canada, Germany, France, England and Mexico.

lehoyland.bsky.social•15 days ago

Not this American. He’s a 🤡.

pinkrbell.bsky.social•15 days ago

Didn't much appreciate the comment about Canada bring the 51st state. It isn't funny. So why aren't the democrats commenting at all on that? Is America thinking it's ok for Trump to want Canada?

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

No, we don't!

And Dems are exhaustingly busy, seriously NOT sleeping busy, to stop the firehouse of mental whiplash inducing assaults on our Constitution that the White House inflicts by the hour nonstop since Trump's inauguration.

justgimmesometruth.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kind of like Germany absorbing Austria in 1938.

bluemoonshampoo.bsky.social•14 days ago

That's messed up. What happened to the people in this country?

epilepsy.bsky.social•12 days ago

🖕🖕fuck you Bill !!

heidill.bsky.social•14 days ago

Not sure Kid Rock (WTF?) was a good choice. Bill Maher you can do better at this point in time.

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

Bill laughs along with all kinds of awful. I'm a house hostage viewer but usually I can avoid the show.

yasminevenice.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kid Rock was not necessary. Also, don't hate Kendrick Lamar for slaughtering Drake. #IJS

I can’t wait to not watch this

rdlm42.bsky.social•15 days ago

Maher …one trick pony…so tired of your trans rant…looking a little obsessive…

paverjake37.bsky.social•15 days ago

Talk about a Zombie Lie. He acts like it’s ubiquitous. The only time I hear about Trans stuff is when I watch Bill Maher

jeffryder.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kid Rock. What an absolute douche.

pennymommies.bsky.social•15 days ago

Bill Rogan strikes again.

deebchi.bsky.social•13 days ago

Bill Maher now.

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

Except it should be an old man

ijeftomi.bsky.social•15 days ago

USAID is a hill worth dying on.

If Africa collapses, the next ebola or Marburg or whatever would just spread unchecked.

COVID went from Wuhan to global pandemic in ten weeks. Bat or lab is beside the point.

The hill could be upholstered with the corpses of people bleeding out of every orifice.

bluemoonshampoo.bsky.social•14 days ago

Does Bill not even know what USAID does? I think he's losing his marbles. He's also gone to the dark side. I don't enjoy listening to him anymore.

ijeftomi.bsky.social•14 days ago

He'll just say "only fat people get Ebola".

Counting down to the AI panel Bill has been putting together for an epic episode… ;)

mrpig666.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why would you give Kid Rock a platform? His music was never good, he's a rich kid playing at being trailer trash, or, is he trailer trash boy into money.

mrpig666.bsky.social•15 days ago

"boy" is "born"... Auto fill is a blessing and a curse.

oregon-breeze.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can’t complain about teaching young women from a young age to value themselves (Nike commercial) while Carl’s Jr commercials degrade those same young girls. Until you get prostitutes off of prime time commercials my daughter sees we need pro women ads. What the hell is happening to this show?

angelham.bsky.social•15 days ago

🤢🤮

keys88.bsky.social•13 days ago

Thank goodness John Oliver is back.

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kid Rock is a dick.

Kid Rock is trying to sell tour tix.

Kid Rock wants us to forget Trump pardoned J6 criminals responsible for first responder deaths brutally beating their way in to our Capitol to hang our Vice President.

But Kid just laughs about how cool it is to hang with Trump.

jmdinthepnw.bsky.social•11 days ago

Kid Rock is an absolute puke. Never will I watch your show again. There are so many better people that you could platform during this time and you pick that trash fash supporting POS.

sff180.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kid Rock, the all time white trash loser who just threw a tantrum and stormed off stage because no one was clapping at whatever hick county fair he was performing at, calling Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick playing Super Bowl Halftime “DEI” is the ultimate in “peaked in high school” copium.

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

Rock paper scissors meant it as a compliment. Which makes it even worse.

kathekin25.bsky.social•13 days ago

Your comment about when do women get - denied, like in general? Bill, you can’t be f in serious?!? No, this is some stinkin’ thinkin’ ! How many examples do you want?

spaceaged.bsky.social•15 days ago

Can you please cool it with the laffs and hoots after EVERY sentence Bill utters???.. It is beyond obnoxious and makes absolutely no sense.. Bill is just not funny.. Piercing yes.. but NOT funny

sheix.bsky.social•9 days ago

centralmasssteve.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kid Rock 😂 I normally catch the podcast version, but I'll go ahead and skip this one.

sharynv.bsky.social•13 days ago

I used to like this show but it’s all bullshit now. Denigrating inspectors general and implying no big deal that they were fired, bill Maher says well they can’t be doing their job since there’s billions in fraud. We wouldn’t KNOW about the fraud WITHOUT the IGs. False RW narratives

reidrivenburgh.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, I found that line highly irritating too. A, how much of that number is external fraud (like Medicare) that the IGs and agencies are trying to root out (ask GOP Rick Scott about that). And B, firing the IGs is obviously not going to help. But both sides. (I know I'm speaking to the choir.)

char20.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hey Bill, I challenge you to read this post. My sister publicly wrote about her trans daughter for the first time today- you’re part of the problem Bill.

paverjake37.bsky.social•15 days ago

Great story. I’m glad your niece is thriving and doing well. I hate that Bill chooses to die on this hill. These people need our love, care, and support. Not ridicule and scorn. They’re being used as political footballs and Bill should do a lot better

torrone51.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kid Rock tells us how black people feel. Thanks for the insight, arrogant twit. Not to mention intentionally vulgar

torrone51.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kid Rock? Why give this hater a platform. Huge mistake.

literarysky.bsky.social•8 days ago

Have lots of respect for the show. But disagree with your take on women’s rights. It still is not equivalent to men’s privilege. Try working in a male dominated industry. Look at this administrations take on women.

tld3.bsky.social•13 days ago

Not watching you anymore - you are not worth my time - Women are put down and denegatrated

rose-aphrodite.bsky.social•10 days ago

4 U.S. states want to secede from USA and join Canada, California, Washington, Oregon, and Vermont. They would then become Canadians, not Americans.

Kid rock is proof that trump supporters are morons. Wow.

simiansilverback.bsky.social•15 days ago

There seemed to be an agreement among the lightweights that USAID is not a "hill to die on." The problem is that Ryan et al think the fight is over the merits of USAID. It is not. It is about corrupt people getting keys to the kingdom. Never miss a chance to repeat this singular message.

simiansilverback.bsky.social•15 days ago

I like that Maher's guests include a diverse crowd, but Kid Rock, really? If he ever had an original political thought he has kept it under that silly hat.

louisongagnon.bsky.social•14 days ago

Your joke about Canada becoming the 51st state was offensive to 40 million canadians.
It ain't because your FOTUS is an asshole that you must repeat everything the asshole says.

hellsonly.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kid Rock is both a pussy and a dei hire. I dare that prick to call Lamar dei to his face. Lil Bobby Ritchie is nothing more than a Gross Pointe bitch.

dumox.bsky.social•15 days ago

Did Bill ask her if she wanted to see his schlong? I heard he likes to do that to women

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

ew.

dumox.bsky.social•7 days ago

Bill is vile

devilsporkchop.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hey Bill. Zombie lie?
LOL, how about SCOTUS reversing Roe v Wade? How about an ERA that's been blocked by the GOP for decades?
Women have huge barriers, you live in a bubble, in Los Angeles.

paverjake37.bsky.social•15 days ago

You want a “Zombie Lie?” You think Democrats care way more about Trans issues than they do. You’re the only one I ever hear talking about it

yasminevenice.bsky.social•15 days ago

Harris and Waltz didn't even talk about Trans issues a lot. They just talked about equality and minding your own business! Sheesh. The Republicans did a good job pinning that issue on Dems.

paverjake37.bsky.social•14 days ago

Absolutely, and Bill is no help perpetuating that myth. It’s irritating

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

Bill is ignorance on a paycheck.

mateahan.bsky.social•14 days ago

Watching your show which I have for years.Do men have AI relationships too?Probably just as many. I wouldn’t know. It just seems like the Nike & AI segment weighs on the male side too much. We should all be celebrating an individual, man or women when they succeed. It makes us stronger.

mateahan.bsky.social•14 days ago

We need smarties geniuses male/female. To fix climate change/energy. What is coming at us all. That’s what we should fix. Happiness everyone needs. We need more encouragement females and males big problems ahead.

milsma.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kid Rock reminds me of the orchid guy with no teeth in Adaptation

milsma.bsky.social•14 days ago

You have sunglass-wearing-indoors asshole Kid Rock on and then take a swipe at Tim Ryans sweater?
(Please look into the smacking noise you now make constantly - maybe you could adjust your mic)

trickie111.bsky.social•14 days ago

That lip smacking drives me crazy!!

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

He also claps his hands together a lot during his monolog

milsma.bsky.social•14 days ago

I had to fast forward through asshole Kid Rock. Got a laugh out of New Rules for Valentine’s. But seriously, why wouldn’t you judge that? 🤔

christranscend.bsky.social•6 days ago

Shit take on the Nike ad. Yes, there’s progress but yes, more to do.

francofun.bsky.social•15 days ago

FYI about the cost of minting pennies and nickels. Getting rid of pennies would force us to round up and down, likely using more nickels. Nickels are way more expensive, pro rata, than pennies.

Here's to you, Kiddy Rock porn!

sparkzebra.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kid Rock
Seriously
Bill Maher is such a fucking poseur
Supports Netanyahu
Has Peggy Noonan on
Republican dimwit galore
Has Matt Gaetz on his dope smoking
Podcast
He has zero fucking credibility
Not a surprise lost me years
Ago with his smug mask and fat
Enough
He is narcissistic shitbag

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

He had Elon Musk on and slobbered all over him

sparkzebra.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's because Maher knows dick about science or engineering
The only thing the two of them have engineered
Are they're massive vindictive egos
Birds of a feather 🪶
And that creature called X

cflatt.bsky.social•15 days ago

Byron Donald last week, Kid Redneck this week. Pathetic.

reidrivenburgh.bsky.social•5 days ago

I could at least tolerate Kid Rock, but Donalds had me turning it off after a few minutes. I can only take so much BS (which you know ahead of time he's going to do), especially in these BS times.

californiagirl777.bsky.social•15 days ago

The nazi bootlicker giving a platform to Kid Rock so he could whine about how mean everyone has been to him is so on brand for Bill Maher these days. He has lost his mind and legacy.

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

🎯

sheix.bsky.social•14 days ago

Kid is not ageing well. Ugh!

sparkzebra.bsky.social•8 days ago

He sucked from "Gene one"
Nothing but a Copycat in a bad hat...
Sorry

sparkzebra.bsky.social•14 days ago

His only legacy was being smug asshole libertarian douchebag
Hypocrite
That's still intact

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

He and Roseanne caught the same disease

sobertileguy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kid rock?!? Passing again this week Bill.

philipb310.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ageed

joanmoonjohnson.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why so much clapping from the audience when Kid Rock was espousing his ludicrous thoughts?

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

You can tell how Bill's audience has changed since he went right-wing. They're much dumber now. You can tell because sometimes when he makes jokes based on current events he gets no reaction from them and you can tell they have no idea what he's talking about

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

Gross. Did anybody actually watch his show last week?

glen922.bsky.social•14 days ago

When I was growing up everyone's parents had read Ann Landers' book on etiquette and taught their children accordingly. Taking hats off indoors and removing blackout sunglasses for an interview are among the most basic and inviolable manners. Please don't invite any more MAGA assholes on your show.

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

Did you catch Peggy Noonan's modern version of The Handmaid's Tale last week?

Bill was fawning all over her.

As a mature white women, Peggy made me nauseous and angry. She is privileged ignorance.

gosharks58.bsky.social•15 days ago

Excellent discussion with Tim and Pamela. More of that, please. And, ahem, less of that Rock dude.

andyscott777.bsky.social•15 days ago

What’s with the finger, Mr. Rock? Why do some people give the finger in a photo? Never understood that.

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

He wants everybody to know what an asshole he is

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

If Kid thinks he's doing an...knee...thing to bring people together, he's not.

But he hopes you buy tix to his tour. (NOPE!)

And Bill didn't even go for the low hanging fruit ... Kid's 2am cab ride with Bobo.

furtdude.bsky.social•14 days ago

Dwarf turd merchant Maher is STILL giving a platform to bald-faced lying scum like Byron Donalds & Kid Rock.

STOP TUNING IN TO THIS JERKOFF!!!!

annominos.bsky.social•8 days ago

As soon as I saw he had kid Rock on I wasn't going to watch

furtdude.bsky.social•8 days ago

Having lying racist scum on his show just legitimizes their lies.

jham01.bsky.social•15 days ago

So took a chance on Kid Rock and watched……. zero value. Do better Bill

annie-pnw.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ewwww, I’m actually dreading having to give one second of my attention span to that hateful, brainless POS… so maybe I will just fast forward past him, thanks for the heads up!

rigole.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please try not to referee! Are you worried about trump and losing your job? Trump is an embarrassment and probably has dementia which runs in his family. Be loyal.

kirstkaypet.bsky.social•14 days ago

I loved this episode but I think the Nike commercial was on point considering the number of young men parroting “your body my choice”. I agree that boys need a lot more attention, also.

ptypk.bsky.social•14 days ago
