I’ve lived on both coasts and currently live in “middle America”. The last thing I want is “to be like” Bill Maher or anyone like him.
Of course if “they” knew what we wanted, we wouldn’t have won the election I. 2016. |

Little smug dick has gotten away with more horrible insults on groups then anyone in the media. If anyone else said some of things he said( especially about blacks) they'd be canned the very same day with the libs leading the charge, yet he's a hero of the left, hypocrites.

Once again the right-wing snowflakes cannot take a good-humored joke if it is about them, because in their minds only criticizing the left is allowed, no matter how hateful or slanderous. The right-wing hypocrisy is off the charts since Trump took power because his followers blindly imitate Trump's whining narcissistic victimhood mentality. Trumpism is a real mental disease.
But I digress: the way I see it Bill Maher was in fact advocating for middle America by slamming Amazon for not investing in Red States. He did it in a mocking way (after all that's his job as a comedian) but also in a compassionate way. And his joking was grounded in reality because Middle Americans are in fact 'less affluent and educated,' and as such they understandably aim to reach higher levels of prosperity similar to more affluent coastal areas. What's wrong with that ? |

I understand Maher’s Amazon point, but as usual he cloaked it in a bunch of crass nonsense. And, although I’ve watched him off and on for several years I have yet to laugh at anything he says, so I’d say in my world he isn’t a comedian. George Carlin was a comedian who could say something I might disagree with but still make it funny and be entertaining. Maher ain’t that. |

Does this mean the folks in the blue states will cease escaping from the hell holes they've created to infest us losers in the red states now with their superiority?

Ha. They create the People's Republic of _________, realize it's a S41thole, move to another city and state, like Austin, TX and start the same process to create another People's Republic of Austin. It's happening now.

At 13 years old I watched this gem on Cinemax late one night. Anytime that I see Bill Maher or hear his name mentioned, this is what comes to mind.
Of course this does not make me think of an individual with sound political views. Someone who is involved in shitty 80's B movies has no political credibility in my opinion. |

Looks like a slow day around here. Complete change over on my golf swing and I'm worn out. Muscle memory is hard to change lol.
Anywho. I'll leave this here. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ar...el_139569.html Spot on. It's as if they're unintentionally giving 2020 to Trump. How many millions can these blow hards piss off with their self righteous flatulence? Love. It.

But New York is somewhat infamous for having a state legislature that is not business friendly. Also, how is Maher "compassionate"? He is actually quite condescending.

Unlike Hannity, whatever Maher says, however mockingly or crudely, is grounded in objective reality and therefore he deserves some leeway in situations where his brash style offends sensibilities. Maher is also not a shameless sellout propagandist like Hannity because he never slammed Trump for trivialities like what suit he is wearing or his choice of mayonnaise. Maher jokingly pokes fun at Trump but he only really slams him for things he deserves like his plainly autocratic tendencies. Simply put Maher is on the right side of history and mostly factually correct so he is far from "uninformed". And while I agree some people may interpret Maher's tone as "condescending", his overall message is that of compassion: he implores coastal states to share more of their wealth via investment with underdeveloped "Middle America" because as he puts it "they do not hate us, they want to become more (wealthy and educated) like us". Clearly Maher wants to build bridges between the two Americas by means of reducing the wealth gap and what's wrong with that ? |
