I've been lucky with my family. We are a mix of Democrats and Republicans and we manage to get along despite the policy differences. And when we do discuss politics it's calm and we listen to one another and it doesn't turn into death threats against each other.
Yes...the cats and dogs eating was also a Joke...1 Go look at Springfield and decide. No one eats cats or dogs but no Americans there have a nice life either!
I live in Sugar Land. We have a ton of immigrants here. It’s called Sugar Land because it used to be a private sugar plantation. It was also called “Hell on the Brazos (River)” because so many slaves were worked to death. After slavery was abolished, they just threw black people in jail and then put them to work. They buried black convict labor in mass graves, which just this decade they uncovered when they were building new schools. Sugar Land is a nice city and a lovely community with a very ugly past. I guess it’s all good so many immigrants live here now. They can write the next chapters of Sugar Land’s history.
That's absurd. Judgments are an essential part of any intelligent animal's existence. We are in a constant state of judgment from the time we wake until we go to sleep. Do we think these clothes are good to wear? How will others judge me on them? I love that song! I hate that movie. Did that guy cut me off? He's selfish and arrogant for doing so. Is this person someone I want in charge? What has he or she done, said, and stood for, so I can judge whether or not to trust them and know if they judge things the same way as I do? Sorry, but judging is life.
Lets not compare screwing a couch to screwing over an entire town with disgusting lies. Big dangerous differences. Bomb threats arent being called into businesses selling couches.
However the fact bomb threats are being called into couch businesses blows my mind. Even if they were eating the dogs, what threaten a store. Humans are something else
you missed the point,it was pointed out that over 20K immigrants were dumped into a town of 40K by our own government and it has been hell on the people who were there before to deal with it, 20K who can't speak the language, have NO skill and not the best manners......wow what could go wrong? right into welfare on the working citizen. thanks liberals
Bill of course you see these things because you experience is mainly in urban areas; try driving to your venues or moving your performances to the very rural areas and you see a totally different picture. There is now and has always been a great divide in this country; the only difference is that modern technology has made it more visible by orders of magnitude than in previous times. For the most part nothing has changed with regard to the division in this country only the volume of the rhetoric has been magnified by social media and modern communication.
Springfield, OH is a legit Nightmare of a situation. Believe the People there and Not the news or local government. I live just about 45 minutes south of this area.
This one was pretty good and I loved the unity rather than shitting on the left (as flawed they can be) and the right (which they're definitely flawed) but this was a good one I haven't heard in a while.
I am an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of God. There is insufficient evidence or rational justification to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and do not find compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of god.The universe is governed by natural laws and forces, rather than moral, spiritual, or supernatural ones. As an atheist, I reject the idea of God. I emphasize the social and empirical nature of inquiry and prioritize scientific solutions to intellectual problems. There is an intrinsic intellectual conflict between faith and science, and that it inevitably leads to hostility.
I want a t-shirt that is half-red, half-blue on the front and says, "There are many flavors of Kool-Aid." The back is purple and says, "I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you." Stop being fanatic, peoiple. You're all wrong in one way or another.
I'm reminded of an "American Dad" episode where Roger attempted to break into the Country Music scene by embodying the worst stereotypes of the genre and it's performers. His first attempt got resoundly booed, but after living with a white trash family for inspiration, he was met with applause. Haley said in the beginning that Country Music isn't something you can fake, and stereotypes notwithstanding, I guess there's some truth to that.
Thanks, Bill. The immature eagerness to jump to assumptions based on unsubstantiated stuff needs to stop, as does the vitriol being spewed by so many in the political arena. Hooray for the arts and the artists who help model being beyond all that pathetic nonsense.
Thank you, im from the south, my state flips from red to blue all the time. We really are normal out here, just a lot trees and corn. Folks round here just dont give af who you vote for or who you wanna marry
Both Trump and Kamala don't talk about our budget deficit and mounting national debt which makes us Pay $1.2 trillion a year as interest to the people who don't want to pay the fair share of taxes. Only when you balance the budget, the unlimited money supply to the rich will stop. Can you ask this question to Kamala, Mr Maher?
Bill is missing the takeaway from that story about JD and his grandma. JD is a closeted homosexual and that's why he hates women and wants everyone to be in a loveless and miserable marriage like him. It's so obvious.
Well yeah. The establishment will never let trump be president ever again. They will burn this world to the ground first before they let trump near the White House again. It's a shame you don't see that.
Bill is kind of clueless, how he keeps both-siding things. The JD Vance couch joke is a JOKE and EVERYONE KNOWS IT!! It's really pathetic how Bill doesn't get this difference.
Hard to get along with people that actively vote for and give power to racists, sexist, and xenophobes that actively want to take away your rights. Or force their beliefs on you even if it doesn't impact them in any way. Yes, there are nice people everywhere. That's like saying don't get mad at a corporation actively polluting your neighborhood because the people working there were nice on the phone.
As a man from another country that is vastly more advanced than the US 😅, it honestly doesn't matter whether Trump or Kamala wins 😅 Y'all have not been a first world country since 1975
Bill, the JD Vance couch comments and memes were jokes, you know, like you used to tell. We all knew it never happened. California may have never had a woman Governor, but we're giving you the first female President. You're welcome.
Isn't the problem that the seeming acceptance of JD's gram didn't wind up being inherited? Her grandson is pretty adamantly dissing women over and over again, he has also been pretty nasty about homosexuals and is spreading false rumors (that he admits he made up) about the dietary habits of immigrants.
You have a point here, but I don’t think you understand how deep it goes. It’s not the overwhelming majority of Americans who think this way it is truly a minority group who think that the others are nuts but it’s just enough. I have a coworker. he’s a Donald Trump loving republic And guess what every day when we get the chance we walk and we see what’s in the restaurant we talk we chat we talk about getting older. We do this as Democrat and Republican and guess what you never know that either one of us belong to a different political party. if you want to know why there is such hatred and division in America you really do have to understand that it was planned to be that way. There was a time when everyone would turn on the news and it was just the news the 6:30 PM news with whoever it was on ABC CBS or NBC. You need to ask yourself when did the news suddenly become the mainstream media. I’ll give you a hint. It was in the 90s the late 90s. Right around then Fox News burst on the scene. They were fair and balanced, but extremely conservative for that day. Guess what happened with Fox News? They continue to go further to the right, actually that’s what happened with the Republican party continued to go further to the right. We forget Ronald Reagan supported abortion in America. This is only a recent Republican platform that we should outright ban abortion. Go back to the 70s go back to the 80s that wasn’t what they were pushing for. The problem in America is one political party has always sorted out social issues to drive away in between citizens. That’s right I’m going to say it was one political party because it was primary the Republican party. go back to the 50s the 60s the 70s we could be civil with one. Today do you honestly think Donald Trump would be civil with his comp petitor for president of the United States? Could he just be civil. Right now if suddenly for some reason, America needed to turn on a dime and eliminate all negative political ads and statements. Do you think the Republican party could do it? You know the answer is no. So if you want to ask yourself, why is America so divided that’s your answer it’s difficult to say it’s one political party but if you do the analysis you have to lay the blame where it belongs. Don’t get me wrong. The Democratic Party has moved to some degree but most Democrats have not. What is defined as the ultra left has moved to the leftbut most Democrats don’t prescribe to that way of thinking that’s not true for the Republican party. Someone takes a step to the right every Republican takes a step to the right.
I'm curious, how on Earth did Bill Maher (of all people!) go from a distinctly Left-of-Center Liberal to such a Right-of-Center Conservative in such a short time..? It's truly bizarre how significantly his positions have changed as he got older & wealthier. BTW - Bill, if you can't get that the couch thing was an obvious joke, then I refer you to an episode of a pretty good comedy/current events show that used to be on: *Real Time, April 10th 2015*
Stop telling us "Coastal Elites" what we think, Bill! We do NOT think this nonsense you believe we do. And have YOU ever been to Boston? It's racially divided by neighborhoods for sure, and it has issues, but it is one of, if not the safest city in the country.
Bill a famous comedian still doesn't understand how comedy works. The couch joke targets a powerful elite person The "they're eating the dogs" targets the least powerful ppl in society... Immigrants Also with one everybody knew it was a joke, the other they actually believe its true. Comedy punches up. Weird Bill still doesn't get this
Bill, no one actually believes he has sex with couches EVERYONE except for you seems to know it was a joke. It was just a funny absurd insane joke, which is why it keeps getting repeated.
I don't normally agree 100% with Bill....but as a young liberal I totally agree with him here. We need to get along. I myself am ALWAYS working on this.
Make sure you get your T levels checked. The science is in. Testosterone levels are way lower in democrat men than conservative men. You are the guys who say trust the science. How's that 8th booster working for yah?
Indian food is the best! 🤤 Just that most people don't have the will to try it. I've never taken anyone of many varied ethnicities to an Indian restaurant that didn't at least like it if not LOVE it 😋
Can't judge on the couch thing. I had a throw pillow that treated me lovingly in my early teens. It was a good listener, was always there for me and liked to cuddle afterwards.
Is it just me, or is Bill Maher not as funny as he used to be. He has more of a snotty old man "get off my lawn" kind of vibe. It is obvious he has done all the sins he now looks down upon with some sort of elite BS snobbery. Guess it is time to put him out to pasture and look for another Friday night tallk show.
