Yeah Maher shares that same failing with Trump, he needs to be adored by the audience and gets pissed if that adoration is ever withdrawn for any reason. I honestly don’t think any of his jokes are funny.

Still, he makes a lot of good arguments in his serious content.

Then you're an idiot.


Tell me, how did all these Americans so full of hatred for Asians express themselves before the Wuhan Chinese virus?


I seem to recall Liberals being more hostile to Asians because they don't accept being put into the mold of perpetual victim that the Left likes to place anyone of any ethnic background other than white in.

Asians, by and large don't play your identity politics game.......and that makes Liberals want to take their ball and go home.

Sure it does, you are foolishly parroting Chinese government propaganda like a good little ally.

I can't tell if I'm racist or not calling it Wuhan virus. We call Lyme disease, Lyme disease - is that racist of the Chinese to use it? Do you feel offended if someone refers to it as Lyme disease? How bout West Nile Virus? Rocky Mountain Fever? German Measles?
Sometimes, words are used with an intent to show (without cause) that somehow one race is superior over another - that is "racism" at its most broad.
Using the city of origin to describe a virus...eh, that is a stretch to be racist. It's just factual.
The debate itself is doing nothing to reduce the number of sick people, so I wish we could just let it go...

Your post is also racist.

Apparently you are unaware of the new definition of racism.
