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.

Note to Maher: If that's an accurate representation of your feelings on that matter, dude, I have news for you.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
Too many of our pols have shown themselves to be Deep State.
There's no middle ground here, Mr. Maher. Are you loyal to our former republic...or to Deep State?
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.

That's like abortionists demanding babies apologize.
Or NAZI's demanding Jews apologize.
Or Appalachian State fans demanding Aggies fans apologize. LOL (It's football season. I couldn't resist.)
“There IS no getting along.”
See my tag line.

Now, that is one discussion I would liked to have sat in on.
These folks dont understand...I am trying to help them. The end of 2019 was glorious was it not? Who wouldnt want more of that?
Funny. Under the Trump administration I had money. I had cheap eats, cheap gas, several investments which would have been used in about 90 days to start my retirement with and money for my kids wedding.
Instead, I have no savings, too expensive to eat out, food prices are beyond reason, can’t travel because gas prices are too high, and I cannot retire for another 5 years.
Remind me again why Trump was bad?
Trace shoudla said that too “There aint no gettign along with you tyrants- and as such we aint apologizing for !#$% and ya’ll can suck a lemon if you don’t like it”
A roomful of anti-Trump people, discussing - Trump.
They just don’t get him or refuse to. They’re the perfect targets and eager ‘victims’ of so-called mean tweets. Maher is smart enough to see the dem hypocrisy and explain it, but he still doesn’t get Trump.
“I say that the Nazis were amateurs when compared to Mao.”
I agree.
Just the Great Leap backwards killed an estimated 55 million Chinese. The CCP admits to 20 million so that means the higher number is closer to the truth. And that doesn’t count other upheavals and purges.
“And what’s the little bitch gonna do?”
Not a thing!
Trace Adkins is 6’6” and the dude survived being shot through both lungs and both ventricles of his heart with a .38. You don’t mess with that kind of badass.
“, Jon Meacham replies, “it has to be both, and both have to accept the rule of law.”
Oh, puh-lease. When has Meacham ever demanded Democrats be held accountable to the rule of law for their law breaking?
The Communist Cult says it is virtuous to hate Trump and his supporters.
There’s a country song in there somewhere.........................
On September 1, Biden made it personal for about 75 million people.
Hmm well I not only voted for Trump, I will do so again and I not only like his policies I also like him. Suck those nuts liberals.
