Bill Maher from 3/13

It’s that time of week again, so here are five video clips, from Bill’s show last night, four of which I liked. Enjoy!

Monologue: Surreal Time

Dang, Bill! If you want a print edition of the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda, Faux Noise, the TP shortage must be desperate! Trump’s* dick didn’t fall off. It was ALWAYS that small. Just ask Stormy!

David Ropeik: How Risky Is It, Really?

Taking necessary precautions and worrying are two different things. The second is almost as bad as failure to take necessary precautions, as the Republican Reich has done, which is worst of all and most dangerous for all of us.

Chef Andrew Zimmern

While I agree with him, in principle, the segment opened with the supposition that Trump* Virus originated from Chinese people eating weird infected animals. That supposition is both untrue and racist. I hope it was said in jest, but even if so, that was very poor taste.

Ass-Kisser of the Month: Mike Pence

Pseudo-Christian (the opposite of real Christian) Pence doesn’t bother kissing Trump’s* ass. He goes for the hole and dives right in.

New Rule: Port Reform

Cruise Ship companies must be desperate for passengers. I get several Robo-calls every week telling me I’ve won a free trip. Princess Line is the worst! That’s an industry we should NOT bail out!  Take away their ships and convert them to hospitals.

I understand how difficult it is for a satirist to perform, when all the news is as horrific as Trump* and the Republican Reich have made this pandemic.

RESIST!!

  1. Monologue – Bill’s all about social distancing, isn’t he.

    Ropeik – The fact that we are hard wired to use emotions first, then logic, has been demonstrated over and over, and applies to Democrats as well as Republicans, and to atheists as well as Talibangelicals. In fact, Ropeik sounds just like Lucretius, only with more controlled data and more scientific language. Great minds. Even when the ditch is very, very old. And boy, is he on the money when he says it’s disrespectful to tell people how to feel!

    A-kisser – Priceless. Pence could be the A-kasser of the month every month, though; we just forget it when it’s not on public display.

    Zimmern – He is a great example of how some people have better emotions than others. Zimmern’s emotions came into play before his logic, just like a Trumper’s, but over his lifetime he has developed emotions which produce a better response to risk.

    New Rule – Bill certainly has a point. Cruise ships are not the liners which used to be how people got places, and for which mostalgia plays very strongly into their popularity. I can feel the romance. One of my aunts used to visit Hawaii every year on vacation, and would always travel on the Lurline. Movies (even the books they came from) like “Death on the Nile” and “Titanic” make cruises look very exciting. Heck, Stanford even sponsord likelong learning cruises every year. But they reall are not a good idea.

  2. W/watch ltr this evening w/hubs. 
    Thanks! Tom. 

  3. Bill#1: No, Trump IS the dick!
    Bill#2: It is going to get worse, that is how these things tend to go.  It is like there is a general progression that can be expected.  Maybe it will get worse within the W.H, and GOPIGGIE circles, oh my. 
    Bill#3: Is there something I’m missing?  I was under the impression that the corona virus originated in, or via, a live animal food market in Wuhan.  Is that mistaken?  Many of the diseases we humans are heir to, have come to us because of our history of close living with other animals, such as syphilis.  Aside from that, I am very much in synch with what Bill, and Andrew say about the American way of eating.  Micky D. is NOT your friend!  Always look at ingredient labels, and act smartly.
    Bill#4: Boy, he’d better really hope that there is no place called Hell, because HIS bible says that one sure way to get there is to lie!  Does Dumpy put something in their water?  WTF?
    Bill#5: Cruising is not my thing, either.  It’s mostly boring (I’ve been on 2 1/2), I do not need to eat myself into torpor, in order to “Get my money’s worth!”  And, yes, the pollution is immense.  The 1/2 was the cruise part of a land and sea trip to Alaska.  Seeing the glaciers up very close was impressive.

  4. If tRump has been exposed to Coronavirus – we can always hope for the best. And you know what I mean – mwa ha ha ha ha ha!

    Was Pence really being serious? If I didn’t know better, I’d swear he was doing a comedy routine.

  5. Monologue: Really sad to see what is happening.
    Ropeik: Speaks truth. People are going nuts everywhere. Just having to go pick up my antibiotic last night at the drug store was a mess. Walking pass all of the empty store aisles was insane.Feel it isn’t going to get any better at all.
    As*Kisser: pEnce fits it perfectly.
    New Rule: Wow I didn’t realize that these cruise ships carried so many people. That’s insane. I think I’ll pass at the opportunity to take one.
      

  6. Thanks for posting so many of Bill Maher’s clips, TomCat. I’ll have to watch and enjoy them later.

  7. I love Bill and have been a fan for many years.  Now, having said that–I wish he’d let his guests finish sentences and thoughts.  He’s interrupting more often than not.  Am I the only one who notices this?

  8. Hi all, on the Ides of March—-LOL!  Yes, BEWARE! —–I had to hit “mute” on Pence’s kissing/sucking fest, sickening!  At least then he proves he is “alive”, looks like a Q-Tip fixed behind 45 during most of the pressers.  Clown puppet tested negative—–if u can believe anything from this bunch now—-WTH!    More evidence of being the “Chosen One?!”  Save us cat goddesses! ——-TC we are purring 4 u re: your health care/tests this week!     Also washing our paws often!

  9. Thanks, pained Hugs, ans Amen  to all! 15
