I VERY HIGHLY doubt Bill Maher would let anyone on his audience department even ask for them to clap. Believe it or not Bill Maher is one of the best comedians of all time, he’s one of the best entertainers of all time, he’s one of the best political commentators of all time.
You can disagree with some of the things Bill Maher says and still respect the incredible skills he has developed over decades of very difficult work.
Ever heard of the story, The Emperor Has No Clothes. Bill Maher has been the jester screaming to the rest of the world that Trump was naked for the past 5 years and too few people took Maher seriously.
I am a democrat, I love them, I especially respect Nancy Pelosi; however, Bill tried his best to ask them what their plan was to deal with Trump not being willing to leave the White House and the Congresspersons gave Bill platitudes and didn’t follow through on the consequences apparent if one even considered Maher’s warning.
And a seditious mob almost murdered our representatives. I’m not blaming any democrat for the mob; the Jan 6th insurrection was entirely Republicans’ fault. I’m pointing out that - if they had taken Bill more seriously - better security could have been applied as a preventative measure.
Maher spent 2 years warning people and they ignored him. And Mahers humble enough not to gloat about it.
Why some people expend energy hating Bill Maher is beyond me. He’s not a threat to you. He’s trying to help! He’s the definition of an American. If Bill Maher was alive in the late 1700s his signature probably would have been on the Deceleration of Independence too.

God damn there are so many people in my life I’ve respected or looked up to who ADORE this absolute asshat...
Religulous was pretty good tho. That’s the only credit I’ll give him
He has such a hatred for religion that he sometimes stumbles into being right about something
Yeah, Idk if he actually wrote and produced it, or was just the host, so to speak, but it was so good. That and the one really good televangelist documentary have helped a number of people I know escape oppressive religious dogma
I haven't actually seen Religulous and I'm just talking about his other stuff, I assume it's him making fun of super reactionary fundamentalists?
And yet he stans Israel.
Yeah. Wild morherfuckers. Some of it is cringe of course, but he found some great people to feature
I was into Real Time for maybe a couple months before Trump's election. Then I realized the only reason why I'd started following it was because it was frequently featured on the Facebook news feed- another thing I promptly dumped.
