On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that untrue statements by President Obama were “within the normal parameters” while President Trump’s aren’t.
Maher began by saying, “We just can’t have a country ruled by what the president believes.”
Later on, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist stated, “Obama said, repeatedly on the campaign, not once in a tweet, but again and again and again in speeches, that he was never going to raise taxes on anyone who earned less than $250,000 a year. That lasted 16 days, before he did.”
Maher responded, “Okay, but that’s within the normal parameters of what politicians do. Saying you see 3 million people that don’t exist is not.”

Normal parameters: fast and furious, Benghazi, IRS, lying about thorough screening of Syrians, just to mention a few “normal lies”
Wayne county, or otherwise known as Detroit. And it was not the whole county. It was several precincts in the county.
Thx for the assist. As Capt. Hook said, I stand corrected.
They’re good at creating false words and phrases. Witness whoopi goldberg’s infamous “rape rape.” This is pretty much the same; a category specifically designed to protect a truth pervert.
Y’all just don’t get ‘it’.
What BM (as in Bowl Movement) said is
It is OK for politicians to lie.
They have been lying all their life.
It is in their DNA.
TRUMP is not a politician.
The natural conclusion is that since Trump is not a politician he can’t lie.
(And I will continue to call everything he says a Lie).
Same as ‘they’ used to say when a Lib & a Rep were caught in the ‘same’ scandal. We EXPECT that from Liberals so it is OK. Since the R’s seemingly take the ‘high ground’ they are held to a higher standard.
Excellent case in point Barney Frank becomes a hero after getting caught with his ‘boy friend’ while Bob Bauman R-MD was censured and voted out
I see that Bill Maher is also demanding an investigation into voter fraud.
Good.
Bwwaahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
BillyBoyMaher....just another in a long line of SHJ
But his lies are within the normal range of lies of a political commentator.
Who watches him? Yeah, yeah, those who watch The View and who’s head are exploding not understanding why Trump is POTUS.
Our time is better spent pointing Maher to the Inaugural Address of Thomas Jefferson in order to remind him of that Author of the Declaration of Independence's understanding of the role of the Executive:
Let's read the words of the Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., Thomas Jefferson, who, in his 1801 Inaugural Address, laid out what might be considered to be "qualifications" for the American presidency:(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;
- enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;
- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter
—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,
- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.
- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;
- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;
- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;
- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;
- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;
- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;
- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;
- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;
- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;
- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;
- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.
These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
Dan Rather/NYSlimes/WaaaaaPo and others come to mind....
There is a cane in Singapore with Bill’s name on it. Perhaps it can produce some lucid thoughts for this moron.
What a great place for Trump to start.....Throw it out there for the MSM to do some “investigative reporting”....lol....they will fall all over themselves trying to explain it away as nothing.....We can all sit back and laugh as Trump plays “go fetch it” with the idiots...
Hey, Maher, you dumb, lying pos, already nearly 1 million of those people have been found. President Trump is correct, once again!
While draining the swamp, we need to be sure you and your ilk are included!
“The sorry thing is that Maher is smart enough to know that he spouts lies, but spouts them anyway.”
There was a time Bill wasn’t political at all. He was just another broke-as-a-joke guy with little talent and zero scruples trying to get a break in LA. He’s just talking the false empty line the audience he has wants to hear.
“Bill Maher, dumb as a post, morally bankrupt to the core,..”
You either know him or are an excellent judge of character.
Within the normal parameters.
You are forced to have government insurance ah comrade.
Someone told him he is somebody
