playboy mansion and the "fun" he had there. All the while dissing Hillary Clinton while she was running for President, for being an older woman who wears pantsuits. Maher is a self absorbed piece of shit.

That is, self-deleting to stop further replies, but not totally disappearing it because my only focus was on his critique of MAHER that is valid and well put imho, and in the spirit of:
1- Your signature line: This idea about purity, and you're never compromised, and you're always POLITICALLY WOKE, and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. -Barack Obama
2- and: The author of your link: Writer who is an Agree to Disagree kind of person

Google Search for me didn't come up with much,
* SHAPIRO hosted Dem U.S. Rep. Seth MOULTON more than once, MOULTON was endorsed by Senator WARREN and fundraised by Rep. Debbie WASSERMAN-Shultz.

From your link: **********QUOTE**********
.... ... Shapiro likened a Trump rally to a “clan (sic) rally,” ... ....

Occupy Democrats, a Democratic organization on social media, airs his program. ....

While his guests include several big names in politics, it’s high time to disassociate ourselves from Brian Shapiro after that exposé is out. ....

**********UNQUOTE*******

*** ENTIRE OP here:
*Blistering* takedown of MAHER's 2-Face dinner date with KRASNOV. *New* takedown, 1 day old
Yes, the event was weeks ago, but is a non-hyperbolic BLISTERING, digs up a 7-years' video of MAHER accusing Geraldo of being the same kind of normalizing suck-up as MAHER is now.
