Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime - January 22, 2016 (HBO) 

+Mary Elizabeth To be fair, her mind appears numb.

+Mary Elizabeth never thought I would miss SC Cupp, but this chick somehow made me do it.

+Mary Elizabeth Give her a break, she is still coming to terms with Scott Walker dropping out (whom she used to work for); she can't go through that again with Cruz. It would break her poor, shriveled little Republican heart.

+Mary Elizabeth every RT panel has one of those.

+Mary Elizabeth Actually, she IS the joke. And a bad joke at that.

Because same sex marriage is the only issue lesbians can be engaged in?

+b of course not. It's just weird that the party who fought tooth and nail to keep rights from you is the party you support.

+tranquil Nice I thought they used a rainbow stars and stripes, with a bit of a mustache

+tranquil Nice One of Dick Cheney's daughters is a lesbian. She even convinced him to support same sex marriage. Both parties have many internal disagreements.

+Chris Thompson But they are they can't disagree with what is written in the party platform! Preserving and Protecting Traditional Marriage The institution of marriage is the foundation of civil society. Its success as an institution will determine our success as a nation. It has been proven by both experience and endless social science studies that traditional marriage is best for children. Children raised in intact married families are more likely to attend college, are physically and emotionally healthier, are less likely to use drugs or alcohol, engage in crime, or get pregnant outside of marriage. The success of marriage directly impacts the economic well-being of individuals. Furthermore, the future of marriage affects freedom. The lack of family formation not only leads to more government costs, but also to more government control over the lives of its citizens in all aspects. We recognize and honor the courageous efforts of those who bear the many burdens of parenting alone, even as we believe that marriage, the union of one man and one woman must be upheld as the national standard, a goal to stand for, encourage, and promote through laws governing marriage. We embrace the principle that all Americans should be treated with respect and dignity.

+Pete Ivey I think Canadians could get behind that.

TheHigherVoltage lol

+Pete Ivey nay i say canada should build a wall between us and the states and make donald trump pay for it.... i hear the dumbest things ever come out of your politicians mouth..... you literally have a member of the oligarchy running for president instead of protesting you have actually humoured a guy that wants you poor. a guy that owes 600 million more than the just over 2 billion he owns. get your heads out of your asses the only reason people want small government is so they can get away with treating others with less and less respect all in the name of making the 1% more money. the economy has been hurting since 2008. teachers police other government positions have experience wage freezes for years while ceos are cashing over 100 million dollars just in bonuses. why would you want to go take on a country like mexico and make them build a wall. you want the economy to get better do the one thing everyone knows that works. take money from the extremely rich and give it to the poor because the poor will use it to stimulate the economy up to 7 times more effectively than the money given to corporations through tax breaks. most of the 1%'s money sits in accounts in other countries off shore, used to invest in india china mexico and then they get on the news and tell us how bad china's economy is kicking our ass, or how immigrants are the ones that drive wages down. corporate america wants a lower minimum wage? like how can you pay people any less here. on average each walmart opened costs the government 100,000$ in food stamps etc. so wake the fuck up america because if trump gets in the walls going up.... and the funny thing to everyone else in the world will be how you guys locked yourselves in a cage for fear of other nations.... which is the exact opposite standing the fathers of the declaration had. trump you are more like a british imperialist and less like an america everyday.... you want america great again stop ruining it with cheap shit made overseas for your own profit and start paying into the machine that built your empire.

Brian Currie cool rant bro... Hopefully Hillary Clinton's big donors will read it too.

+Pete Ivey fuck clinton's donors. the closest thing you guys have to a presidential candidate is bernie sanders. because he is a socialist we know he won't get in. the next 10 years will be shitty for you guys either way. bernie and trump wants to spend spend spend cruz wants to carpet bomb the middle east and put up sandals resorts on the bones of our foes, and i'm not even recognizing hilary as a person not because she is a female but because i believe she is a robot programed by the largest donor. atleast if bernie spends you know it's coming out of the pockets of wall street.... in the 1950's corporate taxes reached about 50% and thats no where near the highest tax margin they have had to pay. so why is corporate america now only paying a marginal 24-15% tax rate rate. that means the country is getting half of what we used to from corporate america. the government's number 1 commodity is their workers. it's time to start squeezing the money owed to the system back out of the "patriots" that move thousands of jobs overseas all in the interest of increasing profit margins that are already high due to the extremely low tax margins for the extremely rich. from 1951-1964 the top tax rate was over 50% for a top tax bracket of 25,000$. today the top tax rate is 39.1% for the top tax bracket of 18.333 million. which comparred to the 100's of billions given to wall street employee's and "bonuses" or bankrupt companies buying planes with our money...... sorry you had to be the rant of the day

+bandholm He certainly seemed to have Bill rolling and that's not easy to do on Bill's own show.

+bandholm Yeah, Jon is classy, humorous, and incredibly learned. If only Liz Mair would have taken the opportunity to learn too, the panel would haven't been so grating. Unfortunately, we missed out on more as well. Hopefully Bill has him on more as he has in the past.

+DynamiteToadie When a man does it he's to the point, when a woman does it she's grating.

+Jared McDade You don't mean shit, bitch. Fuck your opinion.

+Jared McDade Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner.

+Pappa Bob She is not a citizen ( depending when she was born and that matters but in general) because he did not live in the US for enough years after is 14th birthday. Cruz very well might be a citizen the point is he is not a natural born citizen and there is a difference.

+Tyson Barnes-Garcia Yes, a huge difference since the Constitution requires a President to be "a natural born" citizen. Where can I find the rulings on the "required residence after his 14th birthday"??

+Pappa Bob The law that people are citing to for that is the INA and you can look in chapter 3 sections 301 and 309 to be specific. That is why I said it depends on when she was born because the law was first passed in 1952 i think but has been amended a bunch and it depends on what law was in effect when she was born as to the number of years. You can read more here which is probably more accurate than me at nearly 3 am with a few drinks. www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartH-Chapter3.html

+Tyson Barnes-Garcia Found and read it. Thank you for taking the time. We must be on opposite sides of the country as it's 12:23 AM here. No drinks, just tired from a physical day. ;o)

No worries. Happy I could help

+Vivek Ramadoss Very good assertion. Do you write for a living?

+Vivek Ramadoss uh,,,do you have anything to say about the issues? LOL

+TMuli LOL,,,LOL LOL,,LOL

+Ross Barn I think government needs to play an important role in transitioning us away from fossil fuels.

+TMuli Thanks and no.

+AngelBoy0123 No but that question speaks volumes about you and your "orientation".

+Jared McDade Well...I am quite the fruit-basket. 😜 lol

+AngelBoy0123 Actually she looked like a Weeble or one of those inflatable punch clowns

How can I gild this wonderful comment?

Gamesman01 If you can't keep up with the conversation make fun of one of the speakers. Go watch Swamp People.

IKR! he is naturally funny & knowledgeable. very rare combo

+Aerostyle If she votes in two countries for real she is probably breaking the law and just dry snitched on herself.

***** Umm... you seem to be misunderstanding something. She says she is voting in 2 different countries, the US and UK... NOT 2 different states. Voting in 2 different states is 110% illegal for reasons you, for some reason, don't understand... but I'll try to explain it to you. Every US citizen legally gets one vote. If you vote for federal representatives in one state, and then vote for federal representatives in another which you do not reside in, other than being VERY illegal, that is granting you a potential additional vote. If people were able to vote in 2 states for, lets say President, there would be a BUNCH of people voting in their resident state, then running to swing states like Florida. Even in local elections, every vote counts... but local elections do not effect you as much if you do not reside in that specific area. Voting in 2 states is already illegal. If I have this wrong, I will place my foot in my mouth... but this isn't the issue at hand in the first place. The issue at hand is the question of voting in 2 completely different countries. I do not know if that is illegal, but it is certainly immoral in my books and should be unethical as well.

Please pardon my butchering of the engrish language... I'm tired... I'll fix it when I'm not tired if I don't completely forget about it.

I am sorry to disappoint you but she is not wrong. I am half-italian and half-brazilian and I can vote for both countries, even though I have never lived in Italy. But don't worry, I will do my research before voting...

+Aerostyle I am not familiar with Canadian or international law, but I know that it is illegal to vote in two different states in the United States. Federal Law requires a person to have the intent to live in the state for a certain amount of time before they can vote in that state. If they are not intending to stay in that state, they can only vote in the state they are domiciled, i.e., intending to live in. I assume that Canadian law works in a similar way. Therefore, what that annoying lady did on the show was clearly illegal, and she is an idiot for saying that on the show. Hopefully, the statute of limitations is not up on that and they throw her ass in jail.

+TheHehe1223 I love AG too but I wish he would shave his head instead of trying to maintain that fucked up patchy hair. He looks like a goofball now but would look badass as a bald guy.

An Evolving Ape True, he looks like a used car salesman

+An Evolving Ape Why cant men just give it up when it's time. Combovers just seem dirty.

ssscape Ha! I'm no hypocrite so I'll admit that I kept the locks way longer than I should have when the top of my head started looking sparse.

+TheHehe1223 the idiot man.

+ash cash and why is that?

+Nik Smotrit The way I see it, you can't be loyal to 2 countries. Vote in the country you're more loyal too, and vote for what you see as best.

Loyal? Are you a slave? If you want better living for both countries you should vote for the best candidacy for each country.

+Nik Smotrit No, I'm not a slave. America is great and I'm happy having come here from Pakistan. Voting for both countries produces a conflict of interest. As an example, the US generally wants Pakistan as a pawn to further regional interests. Pakistan wants to be more assertive and have less US involvement. Sure I can vote for both but once again conflicting interests.

Qwrty Forse In case when you feel awkward performing your citizen duty as a voter just drop second citizenship. It's that easy.

+Dylan Mead Agreed.

+Dylan Mead i am pretty sure she ruins every thing she touches. and i got eye burn from so much red!

Agreed.

It's not the first one she ruined.

+Dylan Mead Awful

+CCwads I totally agree with you, he doesnt yet realize that people will sometimes ohhhhh as a knee-jerk reaction to a controversial statement, doesnt mean that they are angry at his jokes, he needs to chill out.

+Kleavers lol you must be the most patient person in the universe.

+Kleavers Her problem is that she doesn't see when she's wrong because she thinks everything is a personal attack on her. They can debate about what ever but she always thinks the debate is about her.

I don't get it. I'm a feminist and I love Seth Macfarlane and I'm pretty sure Seth's a feminist too

+Brian Rosnick he's dead

+Dylan Cunningham I get that but so was Jefferson. I would think that Hamilton would have another spin on it making it a joke off the Jefferson dead joke and not just a , "Well Hamilton is dead too but he objected unlike Jefferson". But yeah, if that's all it was, then it's still funny in retrospect.

+Brian Rosnick isn't Hamilton "underestimated" or something in American history ? That's the only way I could interpret that joke. As in, he wouldn't approve of how little credit he got... Then again, I'm not American and haven't studied history since high school ; I only read up a little about Hamilton on Wikipedia so I could be totally wrong.
