Really? That guy has been like a political hack for a good while now, I hear that he once used to be a funny "comedian".

If Bill Maher represents more than one actual American (I assume he is American?), I would be shocked. In fact, that may be too many…I’d be shocked if he actually believes half of his own bullshit
In fact, he was on CNN the other night repeating the right wing lie that CRT = teaching white kids to be ashamed, and that it’s being taught in school.
He’s in the final stages of his metamorphosis from “moderate” hack to full on right winger…a slow motion Tucker Carlson with less talent
I guess we can agree Donk, that even arseholes have talent. Personally, I think Carlson is channeling a something that shall be unnamed. So it isn't really 'his' talent.
In too many cases no ... the definitions shifted in the 60's though, exemplified by President Lyndon Johnson, "I have lost the Democratic party for a generation!" (Fractured paraphrase) when he helped pass the civil rights laws. Shortly thereafter, the right began its journey to what it is today.
He’s not going anywhere Chris, every four years there’s always a certain number of celebrities who swear up and down they’re gonna leave the country, and it’s a always hinged upon if the Republican candidate wins. Mark my words, he’ll still be here in the States cracking his wise ass jokes in 2024 and beyond, he’s not leaving all that fame and fortune behind any more than the rest of them.
It’s all bluff and bluster.
Also, for what it’s worth I certainly would not recommend him for the go to guy in getting the inside scoop on American politics. Like Aragorn said, when it comes down to it he’ll go party line with whatever political hack the DNC decides to shove down our throats next.
Personally, Kyle Kulinski is the best one I’ve come across yet. At the very least he’s no hack.
Bill Maher is criticised both by the left and right, which tells me, he's doing something right.
A lot of democrats won't actually come on his show, that is because he is an old-school liberal, that is he believes in equality of opportunity for all and is critical of the far-left agenda, which tends to demonise men and white people, to its own detriment, given that most people in America (or voters to be more precise) will be either white, male or both.
I also give him Kudos for inviting people on his show that others on the political Left wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole (Jordan Peterson, Trump's erstwhile posse, Ann Coulter, etc...). I think he's funny too, but I understand why many would think he's a sell-out or a political hack.
I was just using the metaphor of how lil Tucky used to be on MSNBC before Jon Stewart owned him on Carlson’s own show.
Maher was on CNN the other day spreading white-wing lies about CRT and “wokeness”…he’s gearing up for a Fox show, I think. Hopefully hbo cancels him, not for his shitty takes, but cuz the boomers that still support him realize what an intolerable unfunny dipshit he is
Chris, you are close to the point, but I just think he's an asshole. No respect for anything and he thinks that's funny I guess. He needs to be understood for what he is ... someone with a nice command of bullshit. Jon Stewart is the real deal. Respect for what is right and disdain for what is wrong. Of course, he has that 'other' perspective, he's Jewish, he knows first hand from whence people come. I don't mind criticism of anything I stand for, if it is reasoned and well thought out. Bullshit does not fit that criteria for me.
Kulinski, as the old saying goes, couldn't find his ass with two hands and a flashlight, much less find the gist (meaning nuance) of an issue which means he is unable to determine good, bad, and/or the truth and/or lies. He's a useless bearer of propaganda.
This may have been true for decades, but he been shifting right this year, and even this week is spreading CRT lies and whining about “woke” on CNN…with Fox doing segments heralding his common sense…just a matter of time til he’s yucking it up with Guttfeild! on Rupert Murdoch’s teat…when Jesse fucking Waters’ psyco guest calls you “terrific”, there’s something extremely wrong with you
