How sad that someone will put so much effort to creat a false post fo what purpose?

It was probably inspired by the disbelief that people here still patronize this cretin's television program.

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

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.

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

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.

Bill Maher is an idiot, imo, and, his show has been a dumpster fire since COVID, but, none the less, it’s good to see who he has on his program these days.

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

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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!

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.

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!
