re: Bill Maher on The View

Usually I have a pretty high Bill Maher tolerance level and sometimes he is right on the money but I tried to listen to Megan Kelly's podcast that he was on and I had to bail within five minutes. He was TDS squared and was basically calling Kelly a stupid count because she told him she was voting for Trump and not Biden.

I was actually very surprised at how little Maher knew about what actually happened on J6, and the cases against Trump.

Megyn was hammering him with actual facts and Maher accused her of parroting right wing talking points, and usually ended topics with, “if that’s what you think then ‘ok.’”

He was actually very dismissive of her. He has no tolerance for Trump because he’s an election denier (which Megyn didn’t offer much defense of Trump there). He said it’s the most existential threat and reason people need to vote for Biden.

Megyn countered with the very many democrats, including Hillary, who spent years calling Trump an illegitimate president and Maher dismissed it all. Another “if that’s what you think” dismount from the topic.

Megyn said she can’t support Biden because, among other serious issues like crime, southern border, she doesn’t want her daughter going into the women’s locker room and seeing a penis (her actual words) and Maher agreed with her but then accused Megyn of seeing an elephant and a mouse and not being able to tell which is bigger (again saying Trump’s election denial is more grave than anything Biden has done).

I made it about halfway through. Maher came off unprepared, completely eaten up with TDS, espoused completely hypocritical POVs on important topics, and treated Megyn like an idiot who was out of her depth on everything when she was hammering him with facts and he had none himself to offer.

Maher may offer a good sound bite here and there, but he offers nothing much but TDS beyond that. He displayed much less knowledge on important matters than I expected which was shocking honestly.

Well you must have missed what I thought was one of the most poignant discussions I’ve heard in a long time wherein Maher and Kelly discussed black on black crime.

Maher was in complete agreement with Kelly that the issue with black lives being murdered is not from white police but from their own black males on the street. He went on to say how it was puzzling that more black leaders don’t address it since it’s clearly the real problem. The numbers overwhelming back it up. Police are not the problem.

If you haven’t listened to this part of their interview, please do so. It’s worth it.
