Maher: Getting ‘Robbed Blind’ on COVID Relief Makes Me ‘Less Excited about the Money They’re Planning to Spend’
Breitbart ^ | 08/19/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 08/20/2022 7:26:49 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that America was “robbed blind” by fraud with coronavirus relief programs and said that this makes him “a little less excited about the money they’re planning to spend.” He also wondered why Democrats aren’t being “the good government party” they’re supposed to be and Republicans aren’t being the fiscal watchdogs they’re supposed to be.

Maher said, “[T]his is the question I asked back in April and I’m going to ask it again, it doesn’t really make me a conservative, does it, that I don’t want to be absolutely robbed blind? Is there some number at which I go, you know what, you are just taking my money and wasting it and letting people steal it? I mean, I get the idea that money can never be transferred except in a leaky bucket, I accept that. But this isn’t a bucket anymore. It’s just a handle.”

At this point he’s more conservative then liberal but too cowardly to admit it.

He needs to shut the f___ up. He is one of the people most responsible for this mess we’re in. I don’t care what he has to say.

That guy flops more than a caught fish. One minute he loves the tyranny and the next he hates it.

When Maher is critical across the board, he’s actually good. It’s the Samantha Bee’s of entertainment TV that can rot in hell.

Bill hasn’t awakened quite yet. If he awakes, he would know the answer to this question he asked.

“He also wondered why Democrats aren’t being “the good government party” they’re supposed to be and Republicans aren’t being the fiscal watchdogs they’re supposed to be.”

The odds of him doing that are similar to Vanderbilt winning the SEC football Championship...

Yes, he is one of the many Liberals that helped stitch this Frankstein’s monster together. Now, that it has our Republic by the throat, they are starting to wake up and see what they really created.

They're the big government party, not the good government party. Big is rarely good when it comes to government.

and Republicans aren’t being the fiscal watchdogs they’re supposed to be.”

The "watchdogs" figured out how to open the refrigerator and grab the steaks you were saving for dinner. The biggest problem is they've done this once a week for their entire lives and have never been disciplined or had the refrigerator locked against their intrusion.

Every now and then, Maher makes sense.

And a lot of what he has to say is ‘on the money’ ... so to speak... He’s right on this issue.

Maher has NEVER been for the sexual mutilation of children - or the silly ‘group-think’ mothers who subconsciously encourage it. You’ve confused him with someone else.
