US talk show host Bill Maher sparked a social media row on Friday night when […]
On Friday night, Real Time host Bill Maher weighed in on Trump’s unhinged, sweaty, hour-long ragefest on NBC Thursday with Savannah Guthrie, wherein the president defended the batshit-insane conspiracy theory QAnon, which claims that the Democrats and Hollywood are killing and raping babies (and extracting their fear for medicine), as well as his decision to retweet another wacky conspiracy theory about the bin Laden raid. “The […]
On Friday night, Bill Maher kicked off the latest edition of his HBO show Real Time by addressing how President Trump got COVID-19—after doing pretty much everything in his power to get it. “I’m telling you, this getting COVID thing, not good for him,” said Maher. “The way he handled it, I think the final blow is that, you know what, we’ve seen that he gets […]
On Friday night, Bill Maher took a victory lap. For years, the Real Time host has predicted that Donald Trump would refuse to step down from the presidency should he lose re-election—and this past week, Trump publicly announced that he would not commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose. “This week, the president fuckin’ flat-out said it—what I’ve been saying he’s going to […]
On Friday night, Bill Maher returned to his Real Time studio for the first time since the lockdowns started. He performed in front of a tested, masked, scaled-down, and socially-distanced crowd—in lieu of his giant L.A. backyard. “Boy, I picked a good week to get back to the studio with people because the forecast on my phone today said: smoke. Tomorrow’s forecast? Blade Runner,” Maher said […]
On Friday night, after several months of filming in his luxuriant backyard, Bill Maher returned to the Real Time studio—sans guests, of course. In lieu of trolling Trump’s wacko QAnon followers, and before welcoming The Daily Beast’s Rick Wilson onto the program, the comedian took a few shots at Jerry Falwell Jr., the disgraced evangelical and former president of Liberty University who is alleged to have […]
On Friday night, one week after his network-mate John Oliver dove into the paint thinner-huffing absurdity of QAnon, a conspiracy theory positing that a secret agent named Q is dropping knowledge online about how Trump is waging a covert war on a cabal of elite Hollywood and Democratic Satan-worshipping, baby-eating, child sex-trafficking pedophiles that extract the fear of children for a drug they’re fiendishly addicted to […]
Bill Maher warned his audience Joe Biden’s “lead” over President Trump is too slim and that Hillary was up even more. The “Real Time” host is worried Slow Joe may be in for an upset like Crooked Hillary. Ya think?Are Democrats going to be able to hid senile Joe until the election?Are voters really telling pollsters their preference in the days of cancel culture? TRENDING: Multiple […]
Last week, Bill Maher closed his HBO show Real Time with a mock-eulogy for President Trump, joking that he taught his children “the wrong lessons of life,” including to “see the worst in people, and treat them all equally based strictly on how much money they make and what they look like.” He closed the speech with, “He died as he lived: wearing makeup and lying […]
On Friday night, Bill Maher returned to his HBO show Real Time and offered solidarity with protesters during his monologue, conceding that the police had clearly gone too far not only when it comes to brutalizing black bodies but their aggressive, violent, escalatory tactics against protesters. Later, the political satirist took issue with Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and his outrageous op-ed in The New York Times […]
Bill Maher ripped the mask shielding the hypocrisy of the Democrat Party right off on Friday when he asserted that members of the party should assert that they don’t care if Joe Biden is a sexual predator. During an episode of his show on Friday night, Maher said that Democrats should respond to the allegations by asserting “don’t know, never will, don’t care.” Biden is credibly […]
