You know, if we get bipartisan support against the lockdowns, we could actually make progress.

Bill Maher is smooth, sometimes even charming, but he always reminds you, he is the turd in the punch bowl. I’m referring to his last comment. I’m sure it’s intended to remind conservatives he’s not one of us, like we needed to be reminded.

“He’s a drunken ass hole”

True enough, but the video is compelling. The most compelling part of it is that it comes from a source the left won’t dismiss out of hand. Post it on social media and liberal heads will explode.

I don’t normally agree with anything he says but today he is rather spot on. Murphy, open NJ.

Don’t give the scum hits. If you’ve nothing bad to say about a leftist then say nothing at all.

just as likely he has to throw in jabs against Trump or conservatives to keep lefties from chasing him down like a pack of rabid dogs - I appreciate anyone willing to bring some common sense into this ugly situation.

...”as silly as thinking you can stop immigration with a wall”.

He just couldn’t leave his idiocy out of it. Totally blew the video for me.

I have an awesome American Flag Mask my mechanic gave me.

I am going to frame it tomorrow.

I’m done wearing that damn thing.

Can’t comfortably breathe after about 10 minutes.

the demand to wear a mask is to contrive and instill fear in everyone.

I stopped going to McDonald’s for Coffee because the kids explained why their mask isn’t over their nose, covering only their chin and mouth:

It keeps slipping and they have to touch it a million times a day to readjust....With their gloved hands

The same gloved hands have been touching a personal mask that has to be worn every day, while they hack, cough, sneeze into all the day long and who knows where they lay it in between shifts or what is done with it while and after they ShifT every morning...

The same gloves that handle money and credit cards from people and we have no idea as their hygiene

And how often do they clean their mask? It ain’t every day.

How many times a shift do they change their gloves? Maybe three times and one of those instances is to use the restroom and who knows if they put gloves on in there?

Point is, they are touching a filthy mask that accumulates more filth as time goes by and making a problem worse for other reasons than passing around a virus..

Tough. Mr. Smarm Maher wanted the economy tanked and millions out of work.

He got his wish. Has he offered any apology or regrets yet?

“Don’t give the scum hits. If you’ve nothing bad to say about a leftist then say nothing at all.”

If he’s right, he’s right. Obama was right at least a couple of times. “Nobody wants to see your underwear.” Credit where credit is due. It won’t kill you. If this is all the common ground we have, well, we still need it. Unless you want to burn off the whole freaking planet?

“If you’ve nothing bad to say about a leftist then say nothing at all.”

Frankly, that is about the stupidest thing I’ve heard lately. Do you remember the definition of a conservative? “A liberal who’s been mugged.” Doing things your way, there is no way to convert liberals. Which means we will lose. How many people who were very liberal left suddenly found that the rules they thought were sensible for buying firearms really aren’t, once they found the need to protect themselves with a firearm? Literally millions. Pull your head out!

It's irrelevant what else you heard.

That isn't the definition of a conservative, it's a cutesy adage. Is that your level of sophistication?

Your rant is irrational, full of non sequiturs.

Pull my head out, huh? Tough guy, for sure.

Ad hominem much? That is such a leftist tactic. Do you have a real argument? If so, trot it out. I was, frankly, amazed that I’d heard something out of his mouth that I agreed with to some extent, anyway. At this point, I’m wondering if you have anything reasonable to say, and thinking that if not, Bill Maher is one up on you by points.
