On Friday night's installment of Real Time with Bill Maher, during his opening stand-up routine, Maher skewered the Supreme Court for its decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen which struck down New York's ban on concealed carry, and the historic Dobbs v. Jackson case that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Bemoaning the court upholding the Second Amendment rights of American citizens, Maher kvetched that the Supreme Court "struck down a New York law about carrying guns, you know, on your body when you leave the house, so everyone now can be strapped at all times in public." He then got in an attack on conservatives and despicably claimed they support children being killed in mass shootings: "welcome to right-wing America, where if you want to end a young life, you have to shoot them."
He then shifted gears and credited conservatives for prioritizing the appointment of justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade. "I got to give it to the conservatives. They always got this. The Supreme Court is the prize. They keep their eye on the prize, right? I mean, first Merrick Garland, that whole thing with McConnell, then Trump gets in office, Trump appoints. Three of these justices were appointed by Trump."
Of course, Maher couldn't mention former President Trump without getting in a personal attack on him: "Trump is out of office, but his awfulness lingers on. He’s like a fart with bad hair."
A bitter Maher then attacked the left-wing ideologues who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton when she ran against then-candidate Donald Trump and blamed them for the court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade: "I just want to say to all of you purists on the left who could not bring yourself to vote for Hillary Clinton because she said super predator in 1996, enjoy getting super pregnant in 2022."

HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher 6/24/2022 10:03:02 p.m. Eastern
BILL MAHER: Because they struck down a New York law about carrying guns, you know, on your body when you leave the house, so everyone now can be strapped at all times in public. Wow, welcome to right-wing America, where if you want to end a young life, you have to shoot them.
[Laughter & applause]
MAHER: But I got to -- I got to give it to the conservatives. They always got this. The Supreme Court is the prize. They keep their eye on the prize, right? I mean, first Merrick Garland, that whole thing with McConnell, then Trump gets in office, Trump appoints. Three of these justices were appointed by Trump. Trump is out of office, but his awfulness lingers on. He’s like a fart with bad hair.
[Laughter & applause]
MAHER: And I just... I just want to say to all of you purists on the left who could not bring yourself to vote for Hillary Clinton because she said super predator in 1996, enjoy getting super pregnant in 2022.
Thank you president Trump for all of those judicial appointments.
Now the cultural wars are begun.
Pray that we have the staying power to fight the battle. Next.......education instead of indoctrination.
We need to pown those lefties nationwide.
Sounds like he’s angry because now he’ll have to wear a condom, if he gets any action at all.
“welcome to right-wing America, where if you want to end a young life, you have to shoot them.”
What a despicable comment. What a despicable human being. He’s admitting abortion takes a “young life”. Thanks Bill, with a few criticisms of the Dems and Wokeism lately, I was forgetting what a piece of **** you really are.
If you want to understand the Scriptures about aging, rich, agnostic/atheist types obstinately persisting in their stupid sins probably until their ends, think of Bill. Anyone who prays, say for a prayer for Bill, lest only Eternity rip the scales of stupidity from his eyes.
Clinton saying “super predator” is not why she lost to President Trump. She lost because of illegal immigration and American jobs

Saying "deplorable" and "irredeemable" was more like it.
-PJ
I agree
“Sounds like he’s angry because now he’ll have to wear a condom, if he gets any action at all.”
Only if men can get pregnant. Bill is gay.
Bill Maher is an idiot. He attacked America after 9/11 and said the terrorists had courage. He donated a million dollars to Obama’s reelection campaign. He pretended that he was a libertarian, then supported government run health care.
“welcome to right-wing America, where if you want to end a young life, you have to shoot them.”
Uh, I don’t think Mahar thought that “punch line” quite through . There is no angle on it that isn’t appalling or stupid.
Bill Maher?
How yesterday.
Yes, and that does make him different. He occasionally talks a little sense, even now. You remember that years ago, his act used to be relatively conservative. Was that Clintoon's era? Maher's dyspepsia has been poisoning his acknowledgment of reality.
Pray for him indeed, for his return to full-time truth. Which you notice he couldn't resist sampling, even as he flailed at the people he can't deny are right. . .
Maher dost protest over Substantive due process?
I guess the ‘ol font of wisdom isn’t the broadcast journalist/talking schmoe ex-spurt he pretends at...
Don’t buy his tonic, it’s just flavered mineral oil!

I would enjoy agreeing with the Heinlen, and I do partly.
But... Chicago is not an anomaly.
geez, if you don’t think it takes bigger balls than you or I have got to run the airplane you’re on into a building, try it some time... I think you’ll find you can’t quite manage it, even in the cause of strengthening the 2nd Amendment, building the wall, or ending abortion. Those terrorists BELIEVED. They had real faith.
And as far as government run health care is concerned, you know, I’ve never taken advantage, although I certainly would qualify for as many subsidies as are out there. I’ve been a low-income guy all my life. But the size of those subsidies just turned me completely off... couldn’t bring myself to rip off the people quite that much, even with state sanction. But I’ll tell you something else... Obamacare helped a lot of people. There’s a lot of people getting health care now that wouldn’t have under the private run system. That’s not a bad thing.
Abortion addicts, mostly men, worried they can’t get their fix now.
-PJ
You’re an idiot. A libertarian wouldn’t support government run health care.
