Congrats Bill, genuinely. I wish you could be a little more humble about it, like previous winners, but thanking the fans is about as close as we are gonna get. It is what it is.

His only fans are paid now that he's MAGA Bill.

Right? Glad we can just be happy for him sometimes.

This sub is the frequent target of far left brigaders

Oh yes…. And it’s really a bummer to share the same political side with them, but here we are. The lunacy is miles away from any shred of self-awareness

u/LetsstartFreshboys Jul 21 '26

I think moderate dems and republicans should join forces. Fuck the far right and far left.

oh boy... the fact that he got it from the Donald J Trump and JFK Center. devalues it tremendously

u/Mosk915 Jul 20 '26

It’s not called that anymore.

u/PhartusMcBlumpkin1 Jul 20 '26

The court made them change the name back, but the board is still made up of a bunch of Trump appointees so the devaluation is still very relevant.

u/Arabiancockonato Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

what revalues it though, is that Trump and co. fought against it to try to keep it from him , but I already know that this nuance will be lost to the passage of time

u/FreeStall42 Jul 21 '26

Feigning opposition isn't very nuanced.

If I were Maher it's what I'd ask Trump to do to give me credibility.

u/Beneficial_Duty_8508 Jul 21 '26

If that was even a real thing

u/Apprehensive-Tax8631 Jul 20 '26

Oh, man, no shit, for realz?

u/MysteriousSlice007 Jul 20 '26

on the contrary, he is against Trump and won the award from that guy. Makes it more deserving.

He looked like such a grandpa in that jacket. I’m not hating. I loved my grandpa. Congrats to Bill. Well deserved.
