In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy' [View all]stopdiggin
(14,613 posts)43. Nah. Due respect, gotta' disagree here.
Best outcome, both here and going forward, would be if we just simply STOP awarding these nincompoops any sort of standing or weight at all. And that includes hoping they will shill for our favorite - or against our opponent. (Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Clint Eastwood, Joe Rogan) It doesn't matter - their opinion is strictly 'man in the street'. They Are Entertainers! Grab a box of popcorn and go watch a movie - or to a concert - grab some laughs from a comedian on TV. But, for any serious discussion or public discourse - it makes just about as much sense to be soliciting 'opinion' from Barstool Betty down at the local taphouse. (after both of you have had the proverbial 2or20 .. )

OP
Was looking forward to Beshear's appearance last night. He bombed, little more than insufferable platitudes.

I always review Maher's shows by the number of times I cringe. But I like the format and dialogue, for good or bad.

But, favorite Maher joke- "Two things Republicans can't stand . . One, being called a racist . . (2) Black people."

I suppose if you listen to everythink looking for something to gripe about. Overall, I'll take Maher to most in his line

Isn't that the truth... Damn. I have HBO-MAX, but I haven't watched in more than three years.

It was not enough for bigoted, misogynistic men to push the con artist onto the country
