(50,910 posts)How sad that someone will put so much effort to creat a false post fo what purpose?

(19,605 posts)It was probably inspired by the disbelief that people here still patronize this cretin's television program.

(50,910 posts)you certainly do not have to watch but for some here to make an extra effort, to set their alarm clock at an ungodly hour of 5:00 am to be the first to post f**k, or to take a time to compose a competing post is sad.
Do they hope that Rhiannon12866 will eventually quit?
I was active in a political campaign many years ago, and knowing what the other side says was important

(19,605 posts)That you find that offensive is a YP not an MP.
question everything
(50,910 posts)She takes the time to search and to post, to respond to comments and then to post the clips, even apologizing for not having all of them, and he just uses her format posting as if it is the real thing.

(24,654 posts)Me, I can't stand him any longer and truly think that he could some day have those 'false' guests on his show.

(19,605 posts)The devotion to Maher is utterly bizarre.

(50,910 posts)I thought that she is well liked here but perhaps there are too many who don't like someone who never offends anyone who just works hard to bring us so many clips.

(6,109 posts)Bill Maher is an idiot, imo, and, his show has been a dumpster fire since COVID, but, none the less, its good to see who he has on his program these days.

(2,725 posts)I've always enjoyed Steven Pinker, I just ordered his new book. Hopefully he'll talk about the attempt to cut funds from Harvard.
This about one of his prior books, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018
ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR
"My new favorite book of all time." --Bill Gates
And of course, his opening and New Rules are always fun.
Thanks for posting!

(50,910 posts)Collins and Moore should be able to debate.
And, of course, the monologue and New Rule. Will be interesting to see whether he will touch on RFK brain worm.

(2,725 posts)This video is an interview on his take on the attempt to reduce funding by the fRump administration on Harvard. There is so much more online about him should anyone be interested.

Interesting that a MAGAT like Mr. Maher had him on his show!
