What evidence do you have that these guys aren't staffers for any number of closeted gay senators or congressional representatives? Or are you under the illusion that only liberals are gay? I don't endorse their behavior but your total failure of rhetorical skills means that you have to resort to anecdotal evidence to attack fellow posters.

Are the guys in the video clowns? Sure. But if you want to talk about obscene, let's go back to Ronald Reagans tax cuts for the richest Americans that are still chiseling away at the Middle Class, Or maybe Mitch McConnells life long campaign to equate money with "Free Speech" to ensure most of the posters on this board never have a real voice in our government. Or how about the Bush/Cheney/Rummy war on weapons of mass destruction that never existed? Or Donald's Trumps war on American Democracy by claiming to win an election for which he has produced to this day, no viable evidence.

Now those are all truly obscene!
You know, it’s not hard to just respond to the question.

So much whataboutism, and not even on subject.
 
I certainly can. I have a confession-your arguments are so silly I almost feel guilty making fun of them..but..not for long ;-)

In the first place you are using Bill as something of an authority because you posted his entire monologue. I'd never post a Rush Limbaugh monologue, (unless I was ridiculing him or his ditto heads) no matter what incidental points he might make with which I agree.

In the second place, Bill Maher is a freaking old, rich, white (half Jewish) ENTERTAINER. Not only that, his "shtick" if you will, is going against the grain of political correctness. It's right there in his show titles. His work is funny, and like with many great comedians, Is littered with examples of truth that resonate with his audience. That said, I would look to Bill for political insights the same way I listen to Howard Stern for a guide on Sexual Behavior. That is to say...with a grain or two of salt.

But now the biggest hole in your Titanic of an argument, The clip you posted was a monologue. That means no one is going to challenge him or push back on any particular claim. In this monologue, he's using the word "woke" in the same way conservatives use it-as a pejorative attack, void of actual definition or historical context. What would Bill say if someone were to ask him to define woke in say, an actual argument, or even a. court of law. Best case, he might give anecdotal answers on how he thinks woke people behave. (e.g. tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln) but at the end of the day, he doesn't want to address the racial/social justice meanings of the word, nor the historical context of the word which speak specifically to systemic racism.

But the simple point is, a few years ago, Bill Maher was as progressive S they come and skewered conservatives exclusively..
Now you’ve gone way too far with your nonsense even for him.
That’s the point.
 
James, just something else to consider.

Regard the "tentative" findings alluded to in the article. Then, recall the calamity predicted by Bill Clinton's first budget. Did any of the Republican economists' predictions come true. No. And this might be the clue: Republican first. Economist ... nineteenth?

Clinton's budget actually reduced the deficit. And the economy prospered. None of the calamities predicted came true. Imagine the embarrassment of Republican economists. And Republican lawmakers. Got that? It has to be imaginary because they are never embarrassed.
 
This is what D-Sus does, repeatedly. He makes baseless claims about posters or about politics or others, and when he is pressed for proof, like prove that I scoffed at or mocked black lung, he goes silent and hopes everyone ignores the thing he claimed but cannot prove. He will then attempt to focus on a tangential so that he can change the subject. He is one of the most disingenuous posters here.

Nightwish uses the shame approach to change subjects. It’s a different approach, but the same intent. Get you away from the things that make people uncomfortable from the liberal side. Stop revealing the ridiculousness.
Yes, you nailed it. Dion and NW are probably the same dude.

There is no bottom. They won't be happy until the effective tax rate for the billionaire is zero and this country is crumbling or in total ruin for the rest of us.

The form in question has assertions. If there are actual tapes, the accuser should release them. These assertions are fairly ancient. So far there has been no evidence beyond the assertions.

Do you want people to be arrested only on the basis of accusations?
You idiots tried to stop Kavanaugh and impeach Trump based on a mountain of accusations that ultimately were false. Reprehensible.
 
You see, that's where you liberals lose your credibility, because you have the inability to think, listen and reason for yourself. We don't agree with every word Maher says. it's not an all or none thing like you liberals do with your media. we can admit when somebody like Maher makes sense, but we can also deride him when he doesn't. just becuase he makes good points on one topic doesn't mean he's now a voice for the right. That's just nonsense.
So what you're trying to say is that when he agrees with your narrow and petty point of view he's right on the money, but when he disagrees with you, he's just another liberal nut job? Is that right?

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and guess you're going to completely miss the irony of saying "you liberals" (g ahead and say "you people..you'll feel better) don't have the ability to think, listen, and reason for yourselves, while simultaneously posting comments from a Liberal who by your own definition is obviously thinking and reasoning for himself. See how silly that is?

The withholding of the laptop to interfere with the election, coupled with the shredding of election integrity in key states, was the moment I knew the country was lost.

Having been allowed to get away with that, they have no intention of letting go of power. For if they control the ballot box, they control the mechanisms of government.

Thanks for responding. Hopefully, the solution is somewhere in the middle. A friend of mine refused to expand his plant which would have created 20 more jobs because of extremely high tax rates a few decades ago.
 
Why are your panties in a wad? I'm not keeping a list. Why do I need to? I just said the money was authorized vs. the claim of nothing being authorized for infrastructure. That's demonstrably false as I noted.

Which massive government projects in the last 25 years have been finished in less than 10 years from funding? I know the new Ky-Cincy bridge that was funded to $2B early this year isn't expected to complete till 2029 which probably means 2031-32.

So, I'm confused. You think this is good?

I call it wasteful useless government.

A private company could take that 2 billion and build that bridge in 6 months, most like. At much less cost.

And every single.person here knows it.

Why aren't YOUR 'panties in a wad'?

That's awful funny, as I've seen you post in the stock advice thread.

My guess is, if you had x number of dollars, you would want to pay y (least amount possible legally).

No one is stopping you from writing the IRS a check, big guy.

Feel free to back up your nonsense with action, not whining words.
 
Got no problem with trans, drag or strip shows....but drag shows are not for kids any more than a strip show.
I think the drag queens reading books is weird, not for my kids and not appropriate for a public school but don't think they should be banned.
Drag shows should be regulated like strip shows. It's adult entertainment.

Were GOP lawmakers embarrassed during Clinton’s administration? Some would say the best thing to happen during Clinton’s terms was that the GOP took Congress. The embarrassment during that time fell upon Clinton and his inability to keep it in his pants.
 
Legit question: right now it appears we're getting Biden vs Trump. Listen to the excitement from the American people...

I know some here have already said the numbers don't add up and Trump can't win the general. But what do you think is going to be the outcome? And I don't need the dems will steal it again nonsense. If that's gonna be the attitude from now on, just don't vote if you believe it won't count. I understood why Trump won in 2016 and why he lost in 2020. I'd understand if Biden lost in 2024 but for the life of me, how does the republican party not understand that to win, you've gotta dump Trump like yesterday. MAGA with all their Trump merch will get over it because MAGA isn't the majority of the country. Instead, R's are either quiet from embarrassment or defending Trump even after the lies, an insurrection, and multiple indictments which will continue to turn off the middle. I thought DeSantis would crush Biden but he's impersonating Kelly Craft with the woke stuff and bragging about his six week abortion ban the country wants no part of. People don't like Biden but want nothing to do with Trump and DeSantis nationally doesn't seem like a serious candidate.

Dems are practically handing the WH to repubs and it seems they're content with Trump and losing again. I don't get it. That's not shade. I'm just sitting here like, "Trump? I mean, you're sure about that? Shew, okay then..."
