(205,336 posts)I liked her a lot, the only show I had trouble watching was "the Cycle" and that was because they felt obligated to stick one RWer in with the regulars. Then they put that Greta person on instead of Rev Al. When are they going to learn not to do that?? When they stick something like that on that regular viewers can't stand to watch, they're going to change the channel and forget to change it back.

(205,336 posts)Why they have him on is beyond me! Does anyone who watches MSNBC tune in? I don't understand the point... Or is FOX not showing anything at that hour??

(63,221 posts)Good show! However, I can't stand Jordan Peterson. Total psuedo-intellectual. I really don't know why Bill had him on, but sometimes Bill kind of overdoes it with the non-PC thing.
Anyway, hope you are well and staying warm! It's still too damn cold here in Boston!
Rhiannon12866
(205,336 posts)And I'd never seen him before, thought he was okay. Obviously he considered Michael Avenatti his big draw last night. I swear he's on every time I turn on the TV! And I do agree about Bill and the non-PC thing, but it makes sense given his "Politically Incorrect" history and of course he's also a comedian!
It's cold here, too. When I drove him tonight the "beware of ice" warning came on in my car. At least they're not predicting an ice storm like we had last weekend, but it's still in the 30s here - just looked at the temperature and it's actually 29. Stay warm!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Avenatti: Well, I think we are going to get an opportunity to depose Michael Cohen and the president within the next 60 and 90 days and I think that what we've seen, Bill, what were seeing is the dominoes are already starting to fall. I truly believe this is the Achilles heel of the president. . .He has trusted a moron with his inner-most secrets, and the problem is that he has surrounded himself in his adult life with people that are incompetent and the chickens are going to come home to roost.

(205,336 posts)That's exactly why I started posting these, the unavoidable awful Trump news, day after day, really gets to me, too. And the smart and relevant humor from those like Bill Maher and Colbert always makes me feel better, too - and these days we need all the humor we can get!
