If you don't like Bill maher. Do what your cohort does best. Whip out your iPhone post on Twitter against Bill maher and start a campaign of cancelation. 2 take your same iPhone that you have, go log on to hbo and cancel your hbo subscription. I tell leftist the same thing about Netflix. If you Dont like Netflix comedy with Bill burr and Dave Chappelle. Than cancel Netflix.

Sounds no different than conservatives on here telling why liberals feel the way they do on the issues.

I don’t have HBO. I am responding to a post so admiring of Maher to express my opinion that he is an idiot

Bingo. The sane simply recognize them as being idiots when they virtue signal.

I am a moderate liberal and absolutely laugh at Bill's jokes. Not every single one but certainly very many.

My senior citizen mother is a passionate liberal who has voted for every single Democratic candidate for President from JFK to Hillary in 2016. She thinks Bill is funny...though she isn't a regular watcher nor does she agree with everything he says, etc.

I think Bill appeals most to boomers and Gen Xer's (which is what I am). I could be wrong but I am guessing you are a millennial....

As I laugh at a lot of his jokes about conservatives. Not all, but a lot. Funny is funny. I’m Gen X too, and I came to the same conclusion about cb2008. I could be wrong but I figured he is either a millennial or a Gen Z based on his attitude towards this and other subjects.

He goes on to talk about how Yang did not want the SNL writer to be fired, and how liberals subsequently called Yang a racist. Then some more interesting points on “white shaming”.

I thought he was spot on here. No doubt, some more liberals will go on to disown him for his continued blasphemy.

That was pretty good. Thanks for posting it as I avoid watching his show.

It is sheer and utter narcissism if you are ashamed of being white and you post on social media about it.

Even Tim pool agrees with Bill maher. And not for nothing. Bill maher sounds like an IDW.

Nah, he has a right to his opinion, and I actually agree with him here on this. He is right.
Bill Maher and John Oliver's shows are whole reasons that I subscribe to HBO (any other movies/show are just bonuses).

No one got Yang fired. How is that even possible? There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago when it happened. You must have missed it.
