I'm not typically a Bill Maher fan, but I think everyone


Dec 2, 2020, 10:25 AM

should listen to this. He makes a lot of sense, especially after about a minute in.

I stopped at "the difference between gridlock and progress"


Dec 2, 2020, 10:29 AM

No need to listen to more of Maher's liberal drivel.

at the 1:00 minute mark he pretty much dismantles the Democratic Party's platform, and he is spot on. surely you can find some enjoyment there?

He does the remaining part of the video as well.***

Yeah I saw that on Friday. It was his last show for the season, he will be gone until late January.

That was from the 2nd to last show (nov 13)


Dec 2, 2020, 10:48 AM

I tried to watch the last one and fell asleep.

Ah yes... He had another good one this past week. I generally stick around for this portion, or if he has a good panel.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I stayed awake for the panel on the 11/20 show.


Dec 2, 2020, 10:57 AM

They were good. They painted the truth about the media, even though they both were liberals. It was pretty eye opening hearing them admit that mainstream media is overwhelmingly liberal, and the problems that causes by itself.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You should go back and listen


Dec 2, 2020, 10:45 AM [ in reply to I stopped at "the difference between gridlock and progress" ]

I am not a fan of Maher at all, but he absolutely nails why your normal, average American votes against democrat candidates. And surely the premise would apply to the other side. We desperately need a political shift in this country from both sides towards the middle. Extremism from both sides is ruining America.

MauldinT, where are you???


Totally agree. I had a history teacher during my junior


Dec 2, 2020, 2:44 PM

year in high school. We were discussing political parties. At the beginning of the next history class our teacher came into the room, picked up a piece of chalk and drew a straight line from end to end on a very large chalkboard. He went to the middle of the horizontal line and placed a vertical line. On the far left of the line he wrote "Revolutionaries", on the far right of the line he wrote "Reactionaries". He asked the class to tell him the difference between the two.

The answer? Absolutely nothing. They are exactly the same. Both groups are so greatly divided, they will never make real change. The best leadership is formed when you can bring both parties closer to the center.

This was true in that History Class way back in 1975, and it is true today.

Wilbur,

How open-minded of you.

Any time the Gamecocks talk about us cheating it makes me happy


Dec 2, 2020, 10:53 AM

because as long as they focus on that boogie man, they will never focus on improving their culture and their program. I’m disappointed when a Gamecock tips his hat and acknowledges that Clemson is a great program, with a great culture and great coaches...because that clear thinking can lead to improvement on their end.

So aside from seemingly completely dismissing policy, and seemingly implying that Trump’s only redeeming quality is “not being a Democrat” Maher is dead on here. Hopefully no one will listen to him or maybe he’ll be cancelled for his sins, because if the Democrats actually dismissed this ridiculous SJW extreme they will get a lot more support.

I agree, 2020 had the worst choices in modern history.


Dec 2, 2020, 11:05 AM

I really hope Trump doesn't run in 2024. There are many bright new leaders that deserve a shot.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I hope he runs. That would require he keep the GOP in


Dec 2, 2020, 11:14 AM

thrall, much to the detriment of any new blood in the party.

Besides, GOP voters have made it perfectly clear that they prefer a loud mouth blowhard pathological liar like Trump. If not Trump, who will fill that void?

Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!


Seems pretty clear


Dec 2, 2020, 12:58 PM

but that horse has left the barn. The snowflake movement partly evolved out of the gay and lesbian movement, which evolved out of the feminists movement, and they are realizing how this mutation has come full circle to bite them in the ### in new and exciting ways with the trans movement.

So much sensitivity, so little time to gather those rosebuds.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But that’s just it...


Dec 2, 2020, 2:46 PM

There are snowflakes on both sides of the equation. For every person on the left offended by someone using an incorrect pronoun, there’s someone on the right pissed off because there’s no prayer in public schools. How much better off would we be as a nation if radical progressives and evangelicals were once again pushed to the margins of society...I think much better off.

BTM,

I wouldn't want to push them too far - I'd like for them to be able to challenged the middle occasionally - sometimes they help us open our eyes to something new and worthwhile.

Where i think we are really going wrong is perceiving those fringes (on both sides) as far more numerous than they are. Media (social and otherwise) magnifies the numbers and influence of these fringes to the point that we are all too able to dismiss the things we have in common.
