When I was young I aligned pretty well with the democrats… say like 40 years ago. These days I don’t even know what to label that group as. How far away from logic can a group go!?!? I find it so ironic that so many liberals have no idea that the KKK was founded by the democrats to scare people into voting democrat. They must have really rewritten the history books fully since I went to school.

'Social studies' has replaced history and civics.

These two I would NOT trust them further than I could throw them. Just saying.

What on Earth could you possibly have against Charlie Kirk?? Maher I can understand. Trump thinks very highly of Kirk, as do millions of others around the country. He works tirelessly for the conservative cause. Apparently, you're not very well informed. Maher should be commended for speaking out. He's putting a lot on the line by doing so. But, he is a libtard, in the end.

Calling Maher a “libtard” exemplifies the corrosive divide in this country.

All I can say is be careful who you follow.

Gen Chang's avatar

As expected, you got nothing substantial to hang on Kirk.

Support for Israel genocide?

Gen Chang's avatar

Only a moron would actually believe it's a "genocide." And the morons prove it daily.

Stan Mrak's avatar

There's only 2 countries in the world who think that it's not a genocide, and about 160 who think it is. Guess who those 2 countries are. You're arguing semantics.

John's avatar

He bows down to support fake israel and excuses their genocides of the last 90 or so years since Menachem Begin's Irgun prided itself on being the world's first terrorist organisation and spewed its hate all over the Palestinians and the surrounding people's. How can anyone support a person that supports such evil? The PLO was formed to fight back 20 years after the Irgun terrorists started murdering Palestinians.

Gen Chang's avatar

Clearly you're an antisemite! Which puts you out of the conservative camp, or any rational people group for that matter.

Stan Mrak's avatar

Palestinians and Arabs are also semites, as is much of the middle east.

He's a zyonista...'nuff said.

Anyone who identifies with "left" or "right "doesn't understand that it's not about that, it's the wealthy class against the lower classes.

Typical. If they have good points that challenge your ideology, no need to assess your own beliefs, just make an ad hominem attack to show that you belong to a different tribe.

That’s a curious response. Sounds like there’s a conspiracy theory being hatched somewhere in there. If that be the case, please elaborate.

Thanks for the heads up regarding this interaction. In this era of increasing tribal politics where the two sides instinctively head to their corners ready to face off regardless of the issue and the facts, Bill Maher is one of the few pundits who is still willingly to objectively look at an issue and loudly proclaim when he believes that “his tribe “ is wrong, which is why do many of ^hem have now cancelled him. I am more often than not I disagreement with his views, but at least appreciate his thoughtfulness and humor. Meanwhile , it seems that extreme and vocal left of the Democratic Party still does not understand that when you are ina hole you should stop digging and reconsider your strategy.

I wish they would stop telling the evil democrats how to save themselves. Let them spiral down into the hole of irrelevancy.

John's avatar

The woke got one thing right it seems in that they agree with the genocidal maniacs murdering Palestinians and Trump supporting those genocidal maniacs with the US bombs and US intelligence information they need to murder people with and that agreement is that sensibly there can only be a one state solution. The only thing they all disagree on is the name of that state. I'll choose the name Palestine every single time.

I’ve always thought there were many similarities between a true liberal and a conservative especially since they should both be against excessive government control and promote personal freedoms. Gavin has many problems- fire and flood management, proud cities now ghettos, deficit due to welfare including immigrants benefits, trans surgeries for children. He’s not to be underestimated but the sports issue switch won’t get it.

Here's the problem we are having locally though. They may be only 10%, and very loud. But they are also VERY motivated. While conservatives have largely sat back, and said 'we won', the fringe left is raising money out the wazoo, getting out knocking doors, making life a living h*ll for local conservative candidates, and cowing dissenting voices into silence. (both on their side, and some on the right). Our 2 conservative SB candidates lost in our April 8 election, and it wasn't even close. Of the 14 candidates our local grassroots group endorsed, 7 won, and 2 by less than 20 votes in a record low turnout election. Who voted? The left - tax issues in jurisdictions who had them passed in a landslide, telling you who voted despite them being 'non-partisan' elections.

At our SB meeting last week public comments were packed with lefties vilifying a SB member who went to a local Riley Gaines event, saying he went to a 'trans hate rally'. At my MIL's this weekend, she noted that her (deep red) county now has a very active Democrat group. I asked her if the R committee was active, she said she had no idea.

Nationally, the D's may be on the ropes, but checking out is not an option for conservatives.

Definitely we cannot rest on our laurels.

Truth Seeker's avatar

The exchange was very respectful. Both made excellent points.

Odd that Mayer was drinking and smoking, or that he did that publicly.

Charlie was particularly effective in his rational points.

Moe's avatar

He always drinks and smokes during these sessions...sometimes even cannabis.

"the far left isn’t leading the Democrats forward. It’s dragging them down. And unless the party finds the courage to cut that anchor loose, it’s going to sink with it."

-- I certainly hope NOT! I hope the DemonicRats never find the courage to cut that anchor loose, and I hope they sink with it. Let me also add: "Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish"

Bill Maher may turn out to be the one to save these folks. God bless him.

Toonlydoo's avatar

That's funny, coming from the "Trump is god and can do no wrong" Kirk camp.

Bill for leader of the Dems!

Democrats torpedoed themselves when they ignored the extreme Left mantra that "kids can decide their gender". Anyone with half a brain knows that minors are still developing and cannot be encouraged to change their gender. Minors go through phases. It's so obvious that only an idiot (evil idiot?) would go along with it. But the Democrat party let the fanatic minority lead. And it sunk them.

This is how sane, intelligent political opposites converse.

Regarding the Community Noter, Enterprising Desert Raven, who reported you, @VigilantFox:

On April 27 of last year, an anonymous person X posted a thread in the name of ‘Enterprising Desert Raven,' doxxing and exposing him.

Here is the thread (now deleted from the Threadreader app where I'd archived it). After I reposted the thread on X, Ryan Thomas targeted me by sending six anonymous packages to my UNLISTED home address. In each was a new, wrapped surgical mask. I reported him to the FBI.

Here is the thread:

Hi. My name is Ryan Joseph Thomas. I'm 32 years old and I'm from Springfield, Pennsylvania.

You might better know me as ‘Enterprising Desert Raven’, or the owner of both the @ rt7683 and @ _jasonwillz1_ X accounts.

As you all know, I am all about accountability, so I am here today to hold myself accountable for weaponizing Community Notes against people or opinions I don't like.

I hope you all and Elon can appreciate how much damage I have done across X, but I must now end what I have enjoyed doing so much.

There is a group of Patriots who have shown me the light of my sinister deeds, and I need to repent for these sins before it’s too late.

It's time I start being honest and tell you all, I do this because I own stocks in Biotech that will collapse if you all find out the truth about the vaccines.

I also work for UDG Healthcare, where I get insider information (similar to Speaker Pelosi) about which stocks to buy early on, and when I Community Note you, I am engaging in stock manipulation.

I own an LLC called Brandywine Valley Asset Management, LLC that I created on June 18th of 2020. It’s even located in President Biden’s home state of Delaware.
