Wanted to do a thread for Bill Maher's show because I'm a fan of that and don't see a dedicated thread here for it

I like the show but his tv persona is pretty annoying. I enjoy Bill Maher as like a measuring stick. If he says it. it's probably not some schizo shit I picked up from the internet and has some merit to it. That being said, while he can make me laugh that format needs to lose the live audience and quit with the pausesI liked him when he was stoned and chilled out on Rogan instead of his TV personality.
From the 2nd clip -His new writers seem to be more in touch with the youth and pop culture.
This for example, Maher had nothing to do with this, he just read the lines he was given but whoever put this together, they know what's up and where the tide is turning:
He also has some funnier stuff recently.
I like this one, even though I don't necessarily agree with 100% of the premise but it's a good bit:
Overall, he's better than most on TV but that's still a low bar.
Rookie numbers.... talking about the fact that children will see 200,000 scenes of violence before the age of 18...
That's bullshit, multiple studies show no correlation between violent games OR movies and increased violence in the consumers of those products.... according to the FBI, one of the warning signs of a school shooter is "fascination with violence-filled entertainment"...

Archie used to call him ‘the meathead’ for a reason
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
Years ago, “All in the Family” was the talk of town. The characters were great, and in particular a fellow named “Michael ‘Meathead’ Stivic” played by Rob Reiner. He was Archie's son-in-law and the liberal in the house. Funny stuff. I guess that was liberalism before it went woke.
Honestly, I lost track of Rob Reiner over time. To be fair, Steiner became a successful Hollywood director, but I'm not the type who follows much of what happens in Hollywood. He also got active in politics and turned into a leftwing activist.
A couple of days ago, Mr. Steiner was on Bill Maher’s show and it was a masterful meathead performance. Bill Maher is clearly not a conservative, so maybe Reiner assumed there would be no accountability? Either way, this is the story:
Director, actor, and longtime Democrat activist Rob Reiner was incredulous at the notion that the media censored coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the run-up to the 2020 election–a fact which is no longer in dispute.
Reiner’s comments came during a discussion Friday on HBO’s ‘Real Time’ when host Bill Maher mentioned the recent controversy surround [sic] author Sam Harris’ claims on a podcast that the media and big tech were justified in censoring the story of Hunter Biden’s ‘laptop from hell’ during the 2020 election in order to stop Donald Trump’s re-election.
‘Look, let’s not pussyfoot around this,’ Maher continued. ‘[Hunter Biden] was selling the influence of his father Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do. Let’s not pretend that that at least was not going on. I mean, some guy from China gave him—after a dinner—an $80,000 diamond after dinner.’
‘So, Hunter Biden’s laptop was buried by the press,’ Maher added. ‘Even the head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, said that was a mistake. They buried the story because they remembered what happened with James Comey and the letter 11 days before the 2016 election. Comey said we gotta reopen this email investigation with Hillary Clinton. And it probably was—well, she ran a horrible campaign, didn’t go to Wisconsin, we know all of that—but this was probably the last thing that sunk her.’
In other words, Bill Maher didn't left the left, it's the left who left Bill Maher because the left moved the Overton window too much to the left.Watching Bill Maher get slowly redpilled is kind of hilarious.
He used to be a heavily touted figure for the left and its like he woke up one morning and realized he doesn't fit in with that crowd any more.

Reiner, Klobuchar and the Big Lie of January 6
By Jack Cashill
“Is it okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump?” host Bill Maker asked guests Rob Reiner and Sen. Amy Klobuchar on his HBO show on Friday. This exchange got considerable online attention. Most of that attention focused on Reiner’s shockingly ignorant disavowal of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Overlooked were the knee-jerk comments by both Reiner and Klobuchar on the subject of January 6. Rather than answer Maher’s question about the suppression of the laptop story, Reiner reflexively retreated to the safe space of January 6. “You know what is not justified,” said Reiner. “Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol.”
A privileged child of Hollywood, Reiner broke through as Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, the aptly named “Meathead,” on the 1970’s TV comedy “All in the Family.” He has since gone on to a successful career as a director. His ignorance—and latent fascism—surprised no one who has been exposed to the proud inanity of Tinsel Town over the years.
Klobuchar has no such excuse. Although more politic than Reiner on the subject of free speech, Klobuchar seemed even more dangerously misinformed than Reiner on January 6. “We are dealing with a man who used to be the president right now who literally tried to lead an armed insurrection,” said Klobuchar, employing four distinct falsehoods to make her off-topic point.
There was no insurrection. Those who entered the Capitol did not have guns. Yes, Trump could be accused of leading a protest, but not a riot, let alone an insurrection. And were Trump to have led this insurrection “literally,” he would have been waving a flag in the front lines and encouraging the armed patriots behind him to storm the Capitol.
Dismayed by the failure of the courts to charge any of the protestors with “insurrection” the media have grasped at every proverbial straw within reach. When eleven members of the Oath Keepers were charged with “seditious conspiracy” a year after the riot, the zealots trumpeted their vindication across the fruited plain. Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, no Trump fan, quickly rained on their noisy parade.
