Maher's Mask Slips: Punching Down While the Republic Burns

[Martin Eden]

85. Bottom line: Maher was a USEFUL IDIOT in hs report of the "dinner" with Trump.

He normalized the person on the basis of Donald not shouting insults or threats at Maher when Bill the guest expressed disagreement.

Why did Trump (perhaps at the suggestion of Kid Rock) invite Bill Maher to dinner after the comedian had belittled and insulted Donald in so many ways over the last ten years?

Because Don the Con saw an opportunity to use Maher as a political tool -- and Bill Maher (who's a bit of a narcissist himself) is too dumb to realize he was played for a USEFUL IDIOT.

I started getting fed up with Maher when he platformed vile propgandists like Ann Coulter and Steve Bannon, who are both smarter than him. Maher would ask Bannon what he thought was a "gotcha" question, then was totally unprepared to counter Bannon's gish gallop of bullshit. Maher simply replied OK then moved onto the next question, only to demonstrate once again he is incapable of dealing with the likes of Steve Bannon.

Elon Musk was his first guest not long after Musk turned Twitter in the X sewer of vile racism and unchecked disinformation. Maher was a total fanboy, asking him nothing but softball questions.

The VERY last straw for me was his "report" on his dinner with Donald, which he agreed to under the pretext that we have to be able to talk and have a dialogue among people who disagree (as if Trump can be persusded to change what he's doing).

At the end of his "report" Maher casually dismissed Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech, then pretty much insulted everyone who would criticize the dinner with Trump.

Bill Maher's humor has really worn thin, and any political "insight" he may have once had is far outweighed by the blinders he has put on himself and his very limited intellect.
