That's "Ioffe" with an "I" (probably pronounced like a "y") and "puck.news."
I will stick with the old Puck.

On Bill Maher’s Overtime, the post-show after Bill Maher’s Real Time on HBO, his liberal guests expect an apology or some sort of repentance from those who supported or voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Trace Adkins wasn’t taking their guff and blatantly told them, “I ain’t asking forgiveness for shit”.
Bill Maher doesn’t like how divided things are, he doesn’t want to have to pick a state to live in based on politics because he sees flaws in both parties. Speechwriter for Joe Biden, Jon Meacham replies, “it has to be both, and both have to accept the rule of law.”
Meacham then informs us he lives in Tennesee and has many conservative friends “who don’t want Trump and then they’ll say but Biden’s spending too much money.” He then shakes his head and says, “You don’t get to say the second part until you fix the first” He then admits he has become very partisan himself admitting, “I didn’t feel this way until the [2020 presidential] election was over.”
He then places blame about his feelings on January 6th and the way Trump handled the election results.
He motions to Adkins and says “see if you agree with this.” Adkins doesn’t look thrilled.
Meacham continues, “Republicans who don’t like Trump, want forgiveness but they don’t want to repent.”
Maher laughs sheepishly and looks at Adkins who is also smiling at the uncomfortable statement. Maher starts to say, “You don’t have to answer.”
Adkins interrupts and declares, “I ain’t asking forgiveness for sh*t.” He continues, “It’s not personal, it’s policy.”
Puck New’s founding partner Julia Loffe seems triggered by Adkin’s response.
She starts her tirade, “It is personal. I think Trump made a lot of things personal, and when we talk about the division in this country, we can’t talk about it as if it’s a meteorological phenomenon that just happened, right? There were certain things that were done by certain people in certain institutions, Trump among them – very consciously, to divide this country, to prey upon the fissures that already existed, and to make them wider and wider and wider to the point where we can’t see each other across them.”
She adds, “So it’s not just like, ‘Oh my, this has happened.’ This was done in many ways on purpose by Trump… and so when we say it’s not personal, it is personal. And I do think people who supported Trump and who enabled Trump do have something to apologize for and do have a lot to repent for.”
“A man who calls countries s-hole countries, who tells congresspeople of color to go back to where they came from, who calls women pigs, who makes fun of their menstrual cycles, I could go on, and on, and on… And that people still follow him and think that’s still okay… That is something that we have to talk about.”
Maher replies, “I would say most of the people I know who voted for Trump say, ‘The biggest mistake liberals make is thinking I like him’”
Loffe interjects, “It doesn’t matter If you vote for him.”
Maher continues, “What they’re saying is that you get two choices in this country, I would never vote for Donald Trump, nobody was harder on Donald Trump than me… but it’s a little more nuanced than that. It’s a little more nuanced than that. I understand why people who make the decision to vote, which most people do, based on not who I like the best but who I hate the least.”
Loffe then doubles down, “That means all of the things he said and has done are not bad enough to keep you from voting from him, which means you’re more okay with him being in power and him having the nuclear codes and him having control of the army and the Department of Justice … that means you’re okay with that or you’re more okay with that than the other guy no matter what he said, no matter what he’s done.”
Maher then steers the conversation, “It depends on what’s your priority. To me, the two biggest issues are democracy and the environment… but I don’t have kids. I know people who say, ‘I have kids and I don’t like it when they come home and say ‘Uh, they divided the class today into oppressors and oppressed. And if I changed my sex I don’t have to tell my parents’.’ There’s s— like that going on that makes people go, ‘You know, I agree. Donald Trump is a creep. He is everything wrong that could be stuffed into one man. But I have these other considerations.’ That’s all.”
Maher also told Loffe, “And that’s why you, you know, you seem like you have such contempt for half the country. I don’t think that’s gonna get us where we need to go because… I think we’ve crossed this line. And now the question is, how do we walk it back? How do we walk it back from I hate you so much that I can’t live with you. And we have to live with each other. There’s no apartment where we can put the tape down the middle of it. We have to find a way.”
Maher’s Friday night Overtime show certainly got confrontational with some very harsh rhetoric coming from his liberal guests. Adkins kept it short and sweet but definitely got under the skin of Loffe who seemed quite offended by his comment.

This poor woman believed everything she was spoon fed by the media. Her total ignorance is punishment enough.
“definitely got under the skin of Loffe who seemed quite offended by his comment.”
And what’s the little bitch gonna do?
“ but couldn’t get them to budge on the border wall (too expensive they said—haha”
With the money we have spent protecting the worlds largest money laundromat and prodigal son employment agency (ukraine), we could have built a wall 1000 feet tall and 2 miles thick out of solid platinum from San Ysidro to Brownsville with a fleet of 10000 helicopters armed with stinger missiles and tanks with flame throwers to patrol it
“There were certain things that were done by certain people in certain institutions, Trump among them – very consciously, to divide this country....”
BS. As soon as Trump got elected, before he ever took office or implemented a single policy, the left started rioted and trying to destroy the country. They can’t blame the divisiveness on him or anything that he did.
I was given two choices, Biden or Trump.
The demented leftist idiot didn’t get my vote.

Name one. Just one. Hurting your feelings doesn’t count.
We need to replace the birthright citizenship clause.
Changing a sentence is cheaper than building a wall.
Showing Fauci's emails that prove he sent American taxpayers money to the Wuhan Lab to develop the deadly Covid virus to kill millions of people!

We need to get out from under the Refugee Convention by invoking Article 44 of it.
How big do they want the yellow stars to be that they want to make us wear?
Repent? it implies Leftists think of their positions as a religion, and we’re the apostates. F’ ‘em.
We need to put middle class property and income tax caps into our Constitution.
Let’s put virtual “walls” around our incomes and houses.
Joe Biden says he doesn’t want households making less than $400,000 to pay higher taxes.
Let’s have him solidify that pledge (indexed to inflation - say the average US detached single family house price).
Households making $500,000/year have the option of making $399,999/year.
The hard-working people of this country don’t want to have to pay to support lazy people.
The hard-working people of this country don’t want to have to pay to support drug addicts and potheads.
There are literally hundreds of federal agencies. Virtually all federal agencies should be eliminated but if a state wishes to maintain the function of a federal agency at the state level, let that be the state's prerogative.
The following lists federal departments:
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Defense
Department of Labor
Department of Agriculture
Department of Veterans Affairs
Department of Interior
Department of Transportation
Department of Justice
Department of Education
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Energy
Department of Treasury
Department of State
Department of Commerce
Of these federal departments, all but Defense, Veterans Affairs, Justice , Treasury and State should be eliminated. Again, if states wish to have similar departments, that should be a state's decision.
I do not believe that these liberals say anything that is without purpose.
I just wonder what game they are playing.
Loffe, a Russian Born Little Hat member is a leftist POS, who hates those that disagree with her.
What else is new under the sun?
Meacham lives in a grand life of privilege in TN, where freedom rings, and at every opportunity, bashes that freedom for everybody else, especailly the little people who should listen to their betters.
And Adkins, with a potty mouth, is the story?
one of the many reasons why Maher is just such a douche.
