like, "What the hell happened to you?" But he quite rightly points out that she wasn't always that way, and what an outspoken famous person she has been for the working class.

I've watched Maher for years, absolutely love the guy, and that's still one of the best bits I've ever seen from him. Thanks again!

...but can we say that about people without wanting to burn them at the stake? Yes....he's screw loose on a few subjects. I'm screw loose too, in your opinion most likely; but he's spot on with 97%+ of what I hear him say, in my humble opinion.

We need his voice. May not agree with him ALL the time, but he sure beats the hell out of the spineless politicians that give us lip service...and nothing else. I'll take a Bill Maher over 75% of Congress ANYTIME. Wish he had the clout they have...it would make this country a hell of a lot better place to live, and I might even be proud to be an American again. I'm not now.

He showed in clear terms how Roseanne’s politics have changed, as well as Trump’s bait and switch promises to the American people. I don’t know if Bill’s rhetoric will make a Trumpian think twice about what’s happening, but it should make Roseanne reconsider her position as a Trump supporter (unless she has become totally brain-dead, which is a real possibility).

who published several successful magazines, one was one of the first mags for computer geeks. He ran an editorial in every issue, and everything he ranted about was exactly opposite of what he actually believed in. He only did it to rial his readers, get people talking about his mags, get more subscribers. I'm thinking Arnold is the same, she will go with whatever side is popular at the time, what helps her bank account the most. She only truly believes in two things, herself and money.

set in would have been great. However even if there were to be a second season, it wouldn't have happened. Koolaid has been drunk,
