President Donald, "The Don", Trump

Bill Maher was spot on last night, as ever, on his HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher." So much truth, so many good and true lines.

"How did the 'salt of the Earth' people get hooked up with the 'salt in the wound' people?"



If only it were all funny.

And in no way true.

On Republicans and Hypocrisy

Bill Maher, from his show, "Real Time with Bill Maher." As ever, expletives included.


They've got hypocrisy down pat.

Presidential

President Obama was on Bill Maher's "Real Time with Bill Maher" show last evening on HBO for a one on one interview.

This, then, ladies and gentlemen, is calmness and intelligence and lucidity and yes, being presidential.



In sharp and stark contrast to this year's Republican candidate for the presidency.

The Outrageous, Ridiculous False Equivalence of This Presidential Election

Bill has it down. (Note: expletives)



The ridiculous, supposed equivalence of our 2 current, final presidential candidates at this moment is the absolute worst thing of our media and this campaign of the last 2 years.

The American Hellhole That Is Donald Trump's America

Bill Maher has it correct.



Have a great weekend, y'all.

On Donald Trump and What and Who He Would Bring To Us All

The only things worse than Donald Trump and what he proposes and thinks and says are the people he surrounds himself with. Bill Maher brings to light. Caution: expletive.

On Dubya' and Obama

Bill Maher, with no expletives, on Former President George W. Bush compared to President Barack Obama.  Republican war hawk vs. Democratic negotiator.



It's difficult to believe we have to talk them out of these things and people.

The Lie That Is Republican "Trickle Down Economics"

It needs to be said---again and unfortunately.

"Trickle down", cut the taxes for the wealthy and corporations economic policy is nonsense. It doesn't work. It wrecks economies, in fact. It's a bold-faced lie.

And there's no better--or worse--example of that right now than in very Republican, very Conservative, very wrecked Senator Sam Brownback's state of Kansas, in spite of his denial(s).  Bill Maher makes this point and more recently, in this video. (Warning: expletives included---2 to be exact).



So Kansans, America, let's get over this nonsense. Let's throw that Republican, Conservative, Right Wing ridiculousness to the curb. We know better. We've seen it time and again and we've paid that price. Heck, Kansans are paying the price now, with empty tax coffers, slashed budgets and nothing to spend on their schools and students, the next generation.

Let's get rid of "trickle down" economics and all who promote this obscenity.

The sooner, the better.

Supporting Trump?

Bill Maher Gets Many Things Right Here -- As Usual

Attention: some expletives, as ever.



More people have been to the moon than paid the inheritance tax.

etc.

Have a great weekend, y'all.

Two of the best scenes from TV, possibly ever

First from now gone "West Wing":



And then, more recently, from HBO's "Newsroom":

Why America isn't the greatest country in the world anymore from nrcbtnue on Vimeo.

Both written, rather no surprise, by Aaron Sorkin.

Sam Brownback takes another deserved and very fair beating

A very fair indictment of Republican Governor Sam Brownback, Republican and Right Wing "trickle down" economic theories, American media in general, the American voting public and Meet the Press, in specific (note--expletives ahead):

America, Our Nuclear Warheads and What We Need to Know and Do

More people need to know more of these details.

And then contact our Congressional representatives about them.

Tax Day

''It's that time of year again, April 15, taxes. 

I know it's depressing, but just remember, you're paying for roads, bridges, hospitals, and an army to keep the nation free. 

Unfortunately that nation is Afghanistan.'' 

—BILL MAHER

War, America: What is it good for?

Bill Kristol--and Senator McCain, for that matter, ironically--never met a war they didn't like.  Or want to get involved in:

Kansas, progress (or the lack of it) and March Madness

''March Madnesss...the only place where you hear 'Kansas is advancing.''' 

—Bill Maher

It's one or the other, folks

Which will it be?

It just makes sense.

It's also the decent thing to do.

And human.

And humane.

And "Christian."
