Bill Maher: What do you think of Trump saying he'll go after entitlements if he's re-elected? Erik Erickson: Bulls**t. Bill Maher: Bulls**t that he says it? Erik Erickson: He's not going to do it. Nobody's going to do it. I mean this is what the president says... Bill Maher: But why say it then? Erik Erickson: Because he wanted more money from the Republicans in his budget for nuclear defense so they gave him more money by saying we'll deal with entitlements next time around. And next time around just like George W. Bush said he'll do it he won't actually do it. Alex Wagner: He's been pretty good about following up on all the big promises. I mean... They don't always get through, but like... Erik Erickson: There's no way. And even if the republicans... Paul Ryan wanted this forever, you had both houses of congress and a republican president, they wouldn't touch it. When we finally go bankrupt as a nation, they'll all deal with these issues and until then we're not going to.
“You kind of have to overlook the fact that Trump isn’t a virus from space. He came from the Republican Party, he’s the kind of logical end of the Reagan revolution. He’s not an anomaly, he’s not an aberration. It started long ago. All the things that are in Trumpism were there: The racial dog whistles, the anti-intellectualism, the anti-science. He’s just the end of the road for that. And so when I hear the anti-Trumpers, I applaud, but at the same time I go ‘yeah, but there’s something in there that we’re not really saying.’”
Host Bill Maher: “I’ve been hoping for a recession. People hate me for it, but it would get rid of Trump. So you shouldn’t hate me for it.” New York magazine columnist Josh Barro: “I mean recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and homes and we shouldn’t wish for it.” Maher: “I know. It’s worth it.”
Liberal Bill Maher has noted that theres only one faith that kill you or wants to kill you if you draw a bad cartoon of the prophet and theres only on faith that kills you or wants to kill you if you renounce the faith. He added this is not just a small group of zealots. It's more than just a fringe element. He went on to say that comparison of Muslim violence to Christianity was liberal bullshit
“George Bush, over the Memorial Day weekend, held the Wounded Warrior 100K [bike ride], which was a kind of a celebration for wounded warriors who came back from Iraq, and I guess they walked or ran or something on their prosthetic limbs. And I found this to be nauseating. I mean, first he sends them off to war to get their limbs blown off, and then he has them over for a barbecue. This is like the Cleveland guy having a pizza party for those girls he had in his basement.”
Believing everything doesn't make you noble, it makes you gullible.
Democrats kept saying in the campaign, "You can't possibly think Trump is preferable to what we're selling," and many voters keep saying "Yes. We. Can. In fact, our primary reason voting for him is to create a bulwark against you. Because your side thinks silence is violence, and looting is not. Because you're the party of chasing speakers off college campuses, and making everyone walk on eggshells, and replacing "Let's not see color' with "Let's see it always and everywhere.'" formerly the position of the Ku Klux Klan. It would be so easy to win elections if we'd just drop this shit. Democrats need to listen to our new President-Elect's old boss OBAMA: This idea of purity and you're never compromised, and you're always politically woke and all that stuff -- you should get over that quickly. MAHER: Quickly -- like before they vote in Georgia.
Now that graduation season has ended and we won't be spoiling anyone's big day, let's talk about what higher education in America really is: a racket that sells you a very expensive ticket to the upper-middle class.
“I don’t blame the kid – the smirking kid. I blame lead poisoning and bad parenting, and, oh yeah, I blame that fucking kid. What a little prick. Smirk face. Like that’s not a dick move at any age to stick your face in this elderly man....I do not get what Catholic priests see in these kids.”
