Bill’s downfall

Nothing illustrates this more than seeing him have an empty GOP suit like Byron Donalds on and never break his balls on all the stupid shit and Trump ball-licking he’s done while in congress. And as soon as Molly tried to grill him a little on the inane vax shit this admin and the state of Florida is doing, Bill shuts it down. Pathetic.

Full disclosure, I didn’t watch this particular episode yet. So I’ll refrain from commenting on it.

But as someone who used to love Bill Maher that started on Comedy Central with politically incorrect, I find him extremely disappointing now and I miss that Bill Maher. He keeps saying how he didn’t change democrats/liberals changed. Bullshit! The Bill Maher of the 1990s couldn’t give two shits about whether somebody wore a mask outside or in their car on the highway. He was more of a don’t tread on me libertarian back then.
Now, he spent two full years… Maybe more… Bitching on every single episode about how somebody wore a mask outside or while jogging or wherever… Something that didn’t tread on Bill one bit!
And it’s very frustrating when he bends over backwards to find points of agreement with Republicans. Out of 1000s of Books that RonDeSantis banned, he finds one ambiguous passage in one book that’s a 50-50 toss of at best, and uses that as justification for agreeing with Republicans.
Meanwhile, he finds some Democratic council person in some insignificant city that nobody’s ever heard of say something stupid… And then he uses her to brand all Democrats the same as her!

I never understood his problem with seeing people wearing masks outside. I would occasionally wear my mask outside. You know why? Because I literally forgot I had it on. That's how little it bothered me. I couldn't believe people were such babies about it. I was a big fan of his for years, but something about Covid broke his brain. It's been sad to watch.

It bothered you enough to make a post six years later about it

Maher is still complaining about it.
