Bill was in rare form last night and displayed an ability to mix fact and satire in a way equaled by very few. Here are three video clips from his show.
I don't know about penis enlargement for Trump. Do we even have a micro-surgeon that wouldn’t castrate him as a service to humanity? Frederick Douglass is Trump's favorite kind of black person: dead.
Sam Harris: Winning the War of Ideas
Sadly, a war of ideas is a guaranteed loss with the Fuhrer injecting his hatred into the mix.
Go Falcons!!

Indivisible, Resistance
Watched this last night.
Spot on, Bill. Great show!
RESIST!!!
I – The only problem with laughing at the laughable things he does … is that it makes it even harder to grasp … that he is real.
II – To wage a war of ideas, you have to HAVE ideas. No one in the current "administration" qualifies. The career civil servants who might may not be able to be fired, but they can have their salaries reduced to $1.00 per year on a case by case basis by Congress – which is in Republican hands.
III – I hate to be a downer when so many people care so much about the ellipsoid orb – but – Brady may simply be a poster child for concussion. As for making things all about politics – well, at least one knows where one is.
1- Trump will continue to do amazing things with our sense of reality. One day we will know our friends, by how they walk around going "WTF?!" "WTF?!" "WTF?!"
2- I'm sorry that Bill got in Harris' way, so many times, about the need to have dialogue with moderate Muslims. Read Harris" book, with Nawaz, "Islam and the Future of Tolerance, A Dialogue."
3- With all due respect to you, TC, football is an entertainment, nothing more. I do have a history of watching football, and baseball, avidly, I will admit. But, beyond some sense of Karma going after the Brady Bunch, screw them.
Mitch, who wins the game doesn't matter and I know that. Opposing New England because of the Trump support is just one more way to protest.
The Drumpf gang are right on message — "We have no idea what we're doing." — Now ain't that the truth!
Bill is always funny!
As always, I liked Bill best in his "He did what" section, filled with excellent one-liners, but I found him leaning towards being divisive himself together with Sam Harris.
They make a very strong point for going into dialogue with moderate Muslims about aspects of their religion that are harmful to society in general, but they seem to forget that moderate Muslims are already well aware of those and these discussions are long under way between the many fractions that exist in Islam.
And both need to turn around an look at America and see that the same thing is happening under Drumpf/Pence/Republicans where extreme right/Talibangelism is about to dictate their Christian norm for all Americans. No, the KKK is not a fringe group while Jihadist are mainstream. That's a bit like trying to remove a splinter in someone else’s eye. and paying no attention to the plank in your own eye.
Calling it "winning the war of ideas" isn't a very inviting way to go about it either, a dialogue on equal terms with moderate Muslims has at least the intention of finding some common ground and understanding to build on. There's no need for one to conquer the other, as the extremes on both sides would have it. Or is that too progressive?
Thanks all. Hugs.As I understand it, the war of ideas is between Moderate Islam and extreme right-wing Islam. Our goal is to aid the moderates. Trump's behavior aids the extremists.
