Yeah, saying that liberal stance is ‘too far left’ &no wonder MAGA is so unhappy, everything is so woke (!!!??like WTF!!!??? Having a thoughtful, compassionate outlook while using critical thought is just too much, NO WONDER MAGA so upset. Maher’s ‘only wealthy white men know what to do’ BS can FRO.
Maybe critical thinking is an order: he isn’t against “woke“. He’s against extreme liberals who insist that you are either 1000% far left woke or you are MAGA.
You DEMAND that I approve of a guy named Steve playing on my daughter’s soccer team or I’m “phobic”. That’s what he’s against. Me too.
You don’t know what thinking critically means, do you? I double dog dare you to google it and find out. There isn’t a SINGLE Steve trying to play on ANY girls team ANYWHERE. I can’t decide which came first, your willful ignorance or your pride in being a bigoted asshole.
My Mom sent me a link to a video of him calling for "everyone to tone down the rhetoric"... something something... And to just get along. "Bill Maher was right".
😜🫤🤔 Uh, huh? No, Mom, it doesn't work like that!
He came to our town back in the late 90s. My friends had an extra ticket and asked me if I wanted to go for free and I passed. He's just another spoiled white man who likes to throw around his sense of entitlement.
Had a similar experience. Went to a show in Austin and he walked out because someone heckled him. What a tool, people paid to be there a he walked out like a baby.
Made the mistake of tuning in last night after not watching for a year. His monologue on his Trump visit was nuts. He acted like Trump is a-ok/sane because Trump was nice to him. Well, DUH. Trump’s well-known for being able to turn on the charm to individuals when it suits him. Maher fell for it?!
There was definitely a switch that flipped with BM. I can't decide if he's doing it to increase his audience, if he really turned into that guy who yells at kids to get off his lawn or if he thinks he's building a bridge to the centrist undecideds.
Thank you! I’ve thought he was insufferable for as long. My father thought he was an intellectual type, but I always thought he was a blowhard pseudo-intellectual. Saw a video of Christopher Hitchens make a fool of him a while back. No he’s kissing ass of the Orange clown?!?
He was the worst live show during the pandemic! We saw his first episode and ballet made it 15 minutes in and never again. He’s could learn something from Trevor Noah or John Oliver. Plus he’s an a-hole
He sat in his room complaining and not quite believing in the pandemic, while doctors and nurses and EMTs were putting their lives on the line.
Too out of touch.
My oldest was one of those nurses. As much as I want to I don't think I'll ever forget her telling me what the inside of the hospital looked like, beds lined up in the hallways because they didn't have enough space in the rooms. And I saw those refrigerator trucks.
Bill Maher critiques extremes on the right and left, resonating with moderates and disaffected voters. His independent perspective could be a bellwether for 2026, highlighting the need for Democrats to bridge divides, address frustrations, and adopt strategies that appeal to a broader base.
Judging by the comments overall, it would seem that blue sky is becoming anti Twitter. Both users are on the extremes of the spectrum and neither are good for our future :(
The gall of anyone suggesting to not hate the other! :) must be eradicated! :)
I don’t agree with everything he says, but he’s right about a lot of things. Some liberals think you have to agree on EVERYthing or your a magahat. Dumb. It’s part of the problem with Dems right now, and why they can’t win.
I use to enjoy Bill. But he has been Ageist for years, constantly calling Millenials "children" when Millenials, are old enough to be Representatives and now old enough to run for the Office of President. Bill discount the importance of culture and is mad he's losing relevance
...shouldn't "platform" the President of the United States of America then YOU'RE THE PROBLEM. Especially after he's openly shown nothing but dislike for all of Trumps policies.
He's a lifelong Democrat and a leading common sense voice. If he's not progressive enough for you, guess what?
He’s my old racist , misogynist, homophobic uncle sitting at the dinner table ranting and raving. He’s so fucked up that he doesn’t see himself as the establishment!!
He was pretty good for a long time. But he started drifting into outright bigotry vis a vis Muslims, then got all hopped up about identity politics, and eventually became utterly intolerable. He hasn’t done the full Matt Taibbi, but he’s far too close for me to care.
I have never understood people thinking he has an intelligent take on anything. I remember his guest starring roles on Murder She Wrote ffs. He's not even that entertaining.
All misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic white men who have failed upward. This is not surprising because it is a trait of our society, not an abhorrence.
"The longtime comedian said he felt like he did not need to walk on “eggshells” while speaking to Trump, something, in his view, would be unlikely around former Democratic Presidents Obama and Clinton.
“I feel it’s emblematic of why the Democrats are so unpopular these days,” Maher said."
Never liked the guy nor watched his shows. Don't care what he says about #Krasnov or anyone else. Wouldn't surprise me if he told Maher they had kompromat on him so he better play nice.
You know the problem with many Democrats as they don’t like being told that they have work to do. Bill Maher, as flawed as he is, does say some things that I wholeheartedly agree with.
If we wanna start winning elections, we had better pay attention.
Maher wants to be Carlin but he doesn’t have the balls to do it. Maher is a bad comedian who allows centrists to feel edgy. In no world is bowing to 47 the answer unless you want a fascist dictatorship running the country.
Agree with this-not sure how it ties here. Maher went on about how “normal” Trump is behind the screens/implied that made him feel better. There are so many reasons to expose how that makes him worse.
I couldn’t believe he had a dinner with the lamest dicks in town. Mental illness was at an all time high at the table. Bill sounds a bit mentally challenged now too. The pathological mental illness that trump displays is contagious and needs to be treated- like a necessary surgery.
Also,right after the monologue, Maher began the show& a panelist disagreed w maher over the dinner. Maher got so mad & said he didn’t need any false cheers.
His show is his audience laughing- often after Maher stops when he expected a natural laugh and didn’t get one.
One thing I will credit trump with is pointing out is how ineffective the Democrat Party has become. Listening to Schumer, Pelosi, Klobuchar, Jeffries, Booker… we are in trouble.
He was supportive of Republicans years ago, using the shtick, "Republicans are mean, old white guys who protect my money" . Then, changes his tune (his act?) years later when the other side looks better to him.
New Rule: When Groomer and Grifter in Chief grooms and grifts late nite talk show, said host should spare us from proclaiming how normal the Grifter/Groomer seems.
Yes, why did he have to tell us all about it. Because he was proud.
Bill appears to be totally unaware and unable to read the room. Lovely dinner with Trump and then chats with Bannon!Thugs who want to destroy America‼️
POS enabler who normalized tRumps hate, lies, misogyny, fraud, abuse, felonious antics, He’s a but-but-but-both-sides-do-it asshole. Oh, and not funny.
He named his show Politically Incorrect, which was just privileged white boy victimhood 1.5. If it weren't for all those thin skinned supposed centrists (who are actually conservative) getting positive attention, they wouldn't have been emboldened to bring our country into full blown fascism.
I haven't watched since he had Elon Musk as a guest, supporting Elon's case for "free speech." He couldn't see that as a fraud. I knew better, so I don't need his opinions any longer.
I’ve always thought Maher was an arrogant, selfish, conniving bridge troll with a bad haircut and a level of “POS” that even a mother can hate. I just never knew how big a “POS” he really is until he told us he that he worships the ground Donald Trump walks on.
I think a village is missing an idiot.
a) If a large portion of independents agree with Bill, then the U.S. deserves whatever Trump and his cronies want to do
b) Kid Rock must be really dumb to think that Maher represents democrats and his diner with Trump will unite the U.S.
Way back when he criticized Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. That was the end for me. Him kissing Nazi Musk's butt was gross. Fan boying all over Musk. It was gross.
I didn't watch but my friend who liked Elon before DOGE saw it.
I only got into him, say, around 2016. Then, while watching, he would say some things that rubbed me the wrong way. I wasn’t laughing anymore. Then I watched some more and he really rubbed me the wrong way. And then, I stopped watching that jerk.
I watched less once he started to use guests as props, and not to get their POV. Stopped entirely during Covid, when he kept whining about being unable to go to restaurants or perform live as thousands died, showcased antivaxers & said he "took one [vaccine] for the team." Boy, 'bye.
Well, to be fair, you have to betray a promise or loyalty to be a traitor. He’s exactly the same dishonest asshole he’s always been. Anti-PC made him rich, but it always felt like brutality to me
Exactly. All he does is talk over his guests and when they disagree with him he gets all loud and cuts them off. He has been turning into a grumpy old MAGA man for years. Yes I think he's headed in that direction. Putin can be charming also doesn't mean he's not a mass murderer.
Wasn't Bill and Ann Coulter shagging at one point several years ago? She was also doing Dinesh D'Souza and Bill was allegedly banging Arianna Huffington around the same time.
Yes, the definition of sleezebag, as well as douche bag. His staff-written "jokes" aren't even funny at all. How does he even have a job?? Oh...yeah...blackmail, probably... 🤔
#Science fact: People who don't like #conservative politics but don't actually want the #system to #change, thus not actually #helping people, are called #moderate.
I'm very neutral when it comes to Bill Maher. One moment, he'll say one thing that's absolutely correct and you can agree on, followed up by some stupid conservative bullshit.
So, I neither like nor dislike him and just ignore him instead. He's irrelevant.
I did always get a weird vibe from him. I'm weary of old white guys talking on TV anyway, but for eg. I listened to Jon Stewart after his return to TDS and he sounds quite decent. Still can't bring myself to watch Maher's show though.
COVID broke him. He never recovered from having to perform his show from his beautiful backyard hearing nothing but birds chirping at his jokes. Poor baby.
He was anti-science way before covid though. He once invited the quack who convinced Charlie Sheen to stop his HIV medication and drink goat milk and that he had eradicated HIV in the Comores, no expert fact-checking, just free advertisement for a AH even Oz thought was fake 🤮
A pronoun can be difficult to parse, especially when, in this case, it refers to a person in a post rather than the proximate person in the same sentence. Glad you clarified!
Preach it! Bill Maher has lost his fucking mind if he ever really had one to begin with. Trump is just practicing alternating pain and pleasure on Maher to keep him in line. Or, maybe Bill is taking a course from Trump on how it’s done. Enjoy your Stockholm Syndrome Bill Maher.
I forgot how long ago; long time. Sanctimonious, pseudo-intellectual, mean, misogynist reactionary. So now he's sucking up to Trump? Should I care? I'm not surprised. He's not been even remotely relevant since Religulous, which was funny, but shallow and less than honest (I'm an atheist).
As a documentary filmmaker myself, I think Religulous is pure crap. It was nothing more than Maher doing stand-ups in front of churches and in cars (how creative). When he whined about it not winning an Academy Award I left him. Forever.
Listening to Bill Maher discuss his dinner with Donald reminds me of someone who had dinner with Hitler and said “BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HOW MUCH HE LOVES DOGS!!!”
Whoever it was knew what they were talking about. Maher says things because us common folk can't confront him. He hides behind his veil of celebrity. In my world he would be called a puss to his face.
50/50 on Bill. He's not as bright as he thinks he is, he's often ignorant, but being surrounded by sycophants, he assumes he the funniest and most brilliant man on the planet. Often insightful and amusing, often a pompous jackass and totally wrong.

😜🫤🤔 Uh, huh? No, Mom, it doesn't work like that!
And can be forgiven. Nobody should pay attention to him.
then did a little bit about it on his show, in which he said the crusty old thug was "gracious and measured" and a good listener.
lol.
i guess he wants the incels to tune in?
Office - turned me off right away🚫💯
Too out of touch.
😂😂😂
Maher went all ‘Dennis Miller’ on us!
The gall of anyone suggesting to not hate the other! :) must be eradicated! :)
Throw it away.
he is noxious enough
If you're still trying to cancel people who don't bend a knee to your unknown twisted sense of morality in 2025, then YOU'RE THE PROBLEM!!!
He does an incredibly successful political commentary show and interviews all political voices and if you think he...
He's a lifelong Democrat and a leading common sense voice. If he's not progressive enough for you, guess what?
I'm stealing this one.
Its great
+ I was on that bandwagon with you since at least '09.

But he has something in common with his new friends - they ALL HAVE ISSUES WITH WOMEN...
That’s what has to change: good men telling the misogynists the truth.

But, then quickly began to see that he’s a total scumbag.
I think a village is missing an idiot.
Anyone who can stomach dating Ann Coulter...
a) If a large portion of independents agree with Bill, then the U.S. deserves whatever Trump and his cronies want to do
b) Kid Rock must be really dumb to think that Maher represents democrats and his diner with Trump will unite the U.S.
Purpose of meeting is how they can help each other make more money and gain power, so what was the GET?
Things you don’t joke about & he just couldn’t leave the 90s alone
I didn't watch but my friend who liked Elon before DOGE saw it.
I see he's only gone further into the "both sides" camp, and he can take that routine and shove it up his ass.
How was it not obvious for all to see after the ‘house n*****’ thing?

Arianna Huffington went full Trump after making oodles on Uber. 💰
Give Steve Bannon a platform (white supremacist, KKK)
Who is he fooling about clarity about his dinner with Trump?
His new pals!
I rather watch John Oliver.
