    One of my kids got the full-meal-SJW-deal in HS and college. Then she spent the summer in a poor country on another continent where everyone there, including the doctors and teachers, had the same singular goal in life: To come to the United States.

    Not Europe. Not Asia. Not even Canada.

    The United Fucking States.

    We aren't just a silly people. We are a stupid, gullible people taking for granted everything the rest of the world would die for.

    The Throbber has absolutely no issue with foreign peoples entering the United States.

    Legally.

    Bum rushing the gate doesn't mean you get to stay in the stadium and listen to the concert like those who have a ticket.

    *and now the proper response is "Like Jan 6th?"

    It’s amazing the large % of our country that doesn’t understand why Maher is spot on

    We’ve built a culture full of why we can’t do something instead of dreaming up ways on how to do something

    His joke about "infrastructure week" was spot on. So many of this country's greatest engineering/technological achievements were either directly run by the gubmint or bankrolled by it. We don't build cool shit anymore. We? should be on a crash course right now to build like 200 to 300 new nuclear power plants in the US. Just fucking do it. Instead we let the retards find ways to prevent us from doing what is needed.
    I like that you and GRG are expressing your frustration but both of you tend to be on the more liberal side of the equation (even though you deny that YS) so why are either of you surprised that government is fucking up our country?

    Yes. Because walking through open doors, opened for demonstrators by Capitol Police, is extremely violent in your world HH.

    But that's just because you're a wimpy faggot.
    You’ll excuse anything.

    So are you officially retracting the lie that Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher?

    See you lie about everything, and there's this old fable called "The Boy who Cried Wolf" that sort of predisposes a person to be skeptical of liars, see.

    Goddammit, I clicked the name and then realized I'd been drug into the fucking Tug...

    Why is it so hard to understand that people can be complex and not fall into some boilerplate definition of "liberal" or "conservative"? Not every liberal is one of the woke freaks on Twitter, just like not every conservative is storming the Capitol with a confederate flag. If a clip like this of Bill Maher surprises you, you've never watched Bill Maher. For fuck's sake, his previous show was literally called, "Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher." Railing against political correctness and "calling it like he sees it" is kind of his thing.

    Maher identifies with the left when it comes to most issues. He's a Hollywood animal loving pro-abortion vegetarian atheist socialist. But he's complex. He comes off as an incredibly smug asshole who thinks his farts don't stink, but his show is definitely unique in that you don't get the sense it was bought and paid for by a political party or big business (he's often pointed out the freedom of not having advertisers). His guests are overwhelmingly liberal, but not for lack of trying. His favorite guests are people like Ann Coulter (every time he interviews her, all I can think is that they have to be fucking) and Milo and Jordan Peterson, who he's always trying to get and typically gives a tough but fair interview to. He wants to be Hollywood elite, so he sometimes blows big-time actors and whatnot, but he's equally fair and tough to liberal politicians who come on the show if he has a problem with what they're doing. One of his biggest and most frequent schticks is railing on the democratic party for being weak losers who wouldn't know what winning was if they saw it (he is to being a Democrat as Hardcore Husky is to being a Husky). He's stated many times that, although policing is broken, the country has gone too far with the anti-police rhetoric. He's stated many times that, although the #metoo movement is important and should be taken seriously, it's also gone too far. One his most frequent things is pointing out the hypocrisy of "supporting" fundamentalist Islam's abuse of women while cancelling Louis CK's or Al Franken's careers.

    Mostly, though, he rolls his eyes at crazy, over the top PC bullshit and modern wokeness. Calling out harmful political correctness has been His Thing since he was just a touring comic. He's old, smug, has made anti-PC his defining character trait, is all about "winners win" and wants his team to start cheating like the other guys in order to win at all cost. In other words: Which one of you fucks is Bill Maher?

    Because government is liberalism in a nut shell. He overwhelmingly supports the ideology and needs to understand how and why it's so out of control. Most people believe there's enough room to stay in the grey but if you haven't been paying attention there is only 1 opinion that matters anymore and if you don't agree well you need to be cancelled.

    Government has been fucking up this country since 1789. It's an age old tradition.
    I don't denigrate you for being whatever form of liberal you are. Hell half of my best friends are but some of them are finally seeing what I've seen my entire life. Those who aren't are benefitting from the government in some way shape or form.

One his most frequent things is pointing out the hypocrisy of "supporting" fundamentalist Islam's abuse of women while cancelling Louis CK's or Al Franken's careers.

    Mostly, though, he rolls his eyes at crazy, over the top PC bullshit and modern wokeness. Calling out harmful political correctness has been His Thing since he was just a touring comic. He's old, smug, has made anti-PC his defining character trait, is all about "winners win" and wants his team to start cheating like the other guys in order to win at all cost. In other words: Which one of you fucks is Bill Maher?

    Because government is liberalism in a nut shell. He overwhelmingly supports the ideology and needs to understand how and why it's so out of control. Most people believe there's enough room to stay in the grey but if you haven't been paying attention there is only 1 opinion that matters anymore and if you don't agree well you need to be cancelled.

    To be, or not to be, that is the question.

    And HHusky is Retarded, that is the fact.

    Why is it so hard to understand that people can be complex and not fall into some boilerplate definition of "liberal" or "conservative"? Not every liberal is one of the woke freaks on Twitter, just like not every conservative is storming the Capitol with a confederate flag. If a clip like this of Bill Maher surprises you, you've never watched Bill Maher. For fuck's sake, his previous show was literally called, "Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher." Railing against political correctness and "calling it like he sees it" is kind of his thing.

    Maher identifies with the left when it comes to most issues. He's a Hollywood animal loving pro-abortion vegetarian atheist socialist. But he's complex. He comes off as an incredibly smug asshole who thinks his farts don't stink, but his show is definitely unique in that you don't get the sense it was bought and paid for by a political party or big business (he's often pointed out the freedom of not having advertisers). His guests are overwhelmingly liberal, but not for lack of trying. His favorite guests are people like Ann Coulter (every time he interviews her, all I can think is that they have to be fucking) and Milo and Jordan Peterson, who he's always trying to get and typically gives a tough but fair interview to. He wants to be Hollywood elite, so he sometimes blows big-time actors and whatnot, but he's equally fair and tough to liberal politicians who come on the show if he has a problem with what they're doing. One of his biggest and most frequent schticks is railing on the democratic party for being weak losers who wouldn't know what winning was if they saw it (he is to being a Democrat as Hardcore Husky is to being a Husky). He's stated many times that, although policing is broken, the country has gone too far with the anti-police rhetoric. He's stated many times that, although the #metoo movement is important and should be taken seriously, it's also gone too far.

    It's a living notion open to change and interpretation is what guys like you have tried to explain.

    It’s amazing the large % of our country that doesn’t understand why Maher is spot on

    We’ve built a culture full of why we can’t do something instead of dreaming up ways on how to do something

    His joke about "infrastructure week" was spot on. So many of this country's greatest engineering/technological achievements were either directly run by the gubmint or bankrolled by it. We don't build cool shit anymore. We? should be on a crash course right now to build like 200 to 300 new nuclear power plants in the US. Just fucking do it. Instead we let the retards find ways to prevent us from doing what is needed.
    I like that you and GRG are expressing your frustration but both of you tend to be on the more liberal side of the equation (even though you deny that YS) so why are either of you surprised that government is fucking up our country?
    I'm a libtard, human scum by Tug FS standards. IRL I'm objectively a center-right moderate.

    Government has been fucking up this country since 1789. It's an age old tradition.
    Not like the last 20 years.

    Don't be going all MelloDawg on us.
    It's true that our fuck ups on nation building in the M.E. and opening our markets to China - both of which were bi-partisan - were historically bad, even by US standards.

    So, upon a review of the facts on the ground, we supposedly elected Cho Bai Den as president and a dem Congress. More forever wars and a capitulation to the chicoms.

    Yeah and now it's out of control. We are totally intertwined and reliant on them. Plus it's a gigantic market for the NBA, Amazon, Crapple, and everything else.

    The only time I ever hear about their human rights abuses and Hong Kong is from banned Youtubers whom geniuses here call alt right, "fringe" news sources, and Amnesty Int'l (who follow it up in the next paragraph with Trump bashing).

    I don't denigrate you for being whatever form of liberal you are. Hell half of my best friends are but some of them are finally seeing what I've seen my entire life. Those who aren't are benefitting from the government in some way shape or form.
    Thanks for not denigrating me!!
