This is as bad as Fox News

Comedy shows being held to the same standard as a self-confessed news channel. Really?

Bill Maher is not a comedy show
Last week he defended allegations of sexual misconduct in the Bernie sanders camp because sometimes all sexual misconduct is not the same, had it happened in trumps camp they would have wanted him hung
Like I said I’ve no dog in this fight it’s just sad that America is in a right state at the moment it’s ridiculously polarised

We've all got a dog in this fight because of the importance of the USA globally. His defense of Bernie sounded quite like Matt Damon, actually, and I am not surprised that the more liberal media are getting stuck into Trump -- are you? After he has called them the Enemy of the People and other shit for three years or more.

I do agree on the polarisation -- it is a serious issue when it affects the operation of Congress.

Yep they're all bad, Maher and Samantha Bee being the worst. Still, they aren't actual news shows so fcuk it so o don't see why they should be held to the same level. Having said that, Anderson Cooper pontificating during this crisis was just absolute shit.

Do you mean “self-proclaimed”? A confession suggests an accusation has been made to that effect.

It’s the code, women, children and dogs are out of bounds in the underworld. Is nothing sacred now?

Self-proclaimed works for me.

That is my point. Maher is absolutely upfront about his dislike for Trump from way back so you know what you are getting.

Because he got name checked on here I had a quick look at the latest Bill Maher show - he had Ann Coulter as one of the guests
Couldn't stand to watch the entire show though.

That's a stupid arse reason to vote for someone you claim to think is an arsehole.

I can't seem to shake this sound ringing in my ears. Sounds a bit like "ukulele".

I think he's being facetious. I hope he is.

There aren't any real Trump supporters here... they're all just anti Lib or anti media. Maybe followers of the Church of the Rotten Meme.

WT might be a genuine Trumpista, actually but even he's gone quiet with Seneca not here to do the hard yards for him.

WT just has a creepy thing for Melania IMO.

So he's a Melanista?

Melanistic...

Melaniac ...

Ah, *Budro*, yes, Budro, Jesus Christ! Yeah, I was out there tryin' to whack these junk bond fuckos and these idiots were flushing game with sticks of dynamite! And the dog that they borrowed, little Budro, was a retriever, get it? Budro was never a target, Budro was acting on instinct. I would never hurt an animal and I'm offended at the accusation...

So, none of the orange shitgibbon supporters are willing to try and defend the “greatest”, the best deal maker ever having to abandon his pet erection project?

According to CNN none of the FBI agents who raided and arrested Roger Stone would have been paid for the last month.
Despite this, they were still willing to show up at 0600 to do their duty, now that's commitment.

I think any real Trump supporters were long ago banned for racism (Marlboro, shine on, you crazy diamond), the rest here are inclined to be anti-leftie and get a bit confused about having to defend Trump from what they see as lefties, no matter how appropriate the criticism may be, or what a piss-poor example of a conservative Trump actually is.
There are also some who don't support Trump inasmuch as they see him as a way to curtail the USAs influence, especially internationally. They may not admit it, but weakening the US is a bit of a selling point of Trump to some.

This thread is just not the same without the threat of civil war

This thread just isn’t the same without the rabid idiologists who proclaim Trump to be the second coming and the icon of the great anti-lib pushback that is going to sweep the globe. The future after Trump is going to be... different. Just how Trump exits the scene is going to be interesting, more than a few will be hoping he departs in total disgrace but that’s to be seen. Jared is obviously being groomed to have a future role. Will he survive the aftermath? The Dems are into his security clearance. They’ll pull him down if they can.

Yeah, why can’t we have more “rabid ideologists” ... what could possibly go wrong ... ?

Let's face it, they were suitably incentivised, even if unintentionally

Jared is obviously being groomed to have a future role.

He’s a behind the scenes or cabinet guy. Doesn’t have the personality to win an election.

The only thing Jared is being groomed for is next human shield, and then a career as the Goblin King.

Agree. He is not the guy to carry the Trump banner forward. Still he is being given a lot of the wins and good PR that they can tag his name to. Not sure he’ll survive though if they really start digging.

I miss Seneca

This thread needs more bite

Trump is a life long Democrat.

Being anti-Trump is situation normal for me.

Doesn't really have the smarts for the former really.

Anyway, Arkham escapee

Oooh errr... now that you mention it, creepy indeed!

Is it possible to have a non-creepy resemblance to Jimmy Saville?

Good point, well made. Apologies for the pleonasm.

Thanks for that.

I had to look that up!! rare enough to find a new word so it gives me great pleasure as I don't think I had ever come across it before

pleonasmDictionary result for pleonasm
/ˈpliːə(ʊ)ˌnaz(ə)m/Submit
noun
the use of more words than are necessary to convey meaning (e.g. see with one's eyes ), either as a fault of style or for emphasis.

Nanci Pelosi should write a book on deal making.

She negotiated the Orange bullshitter down from $20bn to zero without doing a f**king thing.

I still want to see her sitting behind Trump at the state of the union address hooting and howling with laughter at every claim he makes.

I reckon she should do the ice skating judge routine -- hold up a scorecard every time he tells a porkie with
LIE

Didn't she say in the message cancelling it, that it would be at a 'mutually agreeable date'?

Surely she would refuse it until funding is agreed as a bargaining chip, and kick it down the road further if there is a state of emergency declared?

You're setting her up for a repetitive strain injury

Why does she have to do that? Mexico is paying for the wall.
