"Real Time" host Bill Maher doubled down Friday on his desire for the U.S. economy to fall into recession in hopes of blocking a second term for President Trump -- telling his panel of guests any hardship that results would be "very worth" it.
"I've been saying for about two years that I hope we have a recession and people get mad at me," said Maher, a multimillionaire who would likely be well insulated from a financial downturn.
“I’m just saying we can survive a recession," he continued. "We've had 47 of them. We've had one every time there's a Republican president! They don’t last forever, You know what lasts forever? Wiping out species!”
The HBO star then pointed to a U.N. report warning how many species of plants and animals are at the risk of extinction and went on to blast the Trump administration for rolling back regulations from the Nixon-era Endangered Species Act "like any evil villain would do."

A recession every time a republican is in office? Just more proof the federal reserve is politicised and should be abolished.
Warren Buffett lost a billion dollars in a year while trying to run up the price of gas to influence the election when Bush was president.

They came off when they said they wanted to put us Deplorables into death camps, or just plain kill us in the streets. (see tagline)
Perhaps people like Bill Maher and those in the upper crust media had some sort of a relationship with Jeffery Epstein..? It wouldn't be that surprising, scumbags that they are.. Maybe that's why the media is so corrupt, like our politicians...
It could be that Bill Maher's personal life ain't what it should be... Maybe someone should do an investigation... :)
Uh huh. One of the first things that consumers will take a recess from is overpriced cable/sat networks. How does his employer, HBO, feel about that?
Trump should talk now about how the leftist fascists are going to try to crash the economy BEFORE the election to derail the election. He should discuss how much these leftists hate the citizens of the country to the point that they are willing to harm them, their homes and jobs in order to win.
He needs to get in front of that NOW.
Hell at least 2 leftist talking heads have already said that they are behind an economic crash to gain their power back.
Do not let that opportunity go to waste.
During recessions lots of people lose their jobs. Let Maher be the first to suffer this ill effect. Hey, Maher, resign from your job. Be the first to become jobless on behalf of the “Dump Trump” mantra. Go ahead, Bill, lead the way. Show us how fervent you really are about your plan.
You won’t because you are nothing but a blow-hard coward. Who would want you in their foxhole?
"worth it..."
For him (rich elitist) no problem...

Intel felt so bad for these people they paid for 75% of their losses and then quickly readjusted their 401k plan.
The multi millionaire billionaire dem liberals will sail on while they watch the upper middle class and under fall. All part of the plan.
You lose your money and lose your house first, Bill.
Any bets on what off shore bank Maher placed his millions just in case it happens?.
IRS on the look
Speak for yourself buddy.
Goes to show what the left thinks of us. We are just tools to them to be discarded carelessly when having outlived our usefulness.
Yep all the left is talking recession in hopes it ousts POTUS.
Expect the lies to get louder about “doom” of the economy.
