you're doing it wrong

it's well known that they despise each other. only a matter of time before they kiss and make up like he did with lil old reincey

+rep,

Keep bringing the heat.

I have a diesel truck and a Prius.

I have a motorcycle* with hard bags which I have occasionally put my tools in and gone to work.

* I'm selling it.

Lulz

it was a great line in the context of what Sasse said.

his closing monologue is a must watch. "when they go low we kick them in the nuts" sums it up.

Ugh bill maher

I don't really care what they think either. I just want them to vote the right way. Admittedly, there is very little TV coverage of any one news story is going to persuade a large group of people. But the more persuasive the attacks are to trumpkins, the better. Preaching to the choir is of limited utility despite how satisfying it is to hear someone on TV say pretty much what one is thinking without sugarcoating it.

Sasse whole anti-millennials platform is pretty nauseating

I don't think this is completely accurate. Funny though.

Drudge knows he'll be in the 3rd or 4th group into the ovens under Bannon-rule.

The dude Sasse had just said 'come work in the field'. The delivery and phrasing by Maher was awkward but I like the concept. We have some Repub clown talking about a plantation; the hand plays itself.

I mean, the problem I have with the potential outrage over this is it further feeds into the opposite stance, in that we have millions of racists in this country who don't think they are racist, are in fact outright perplexed behind the label, simply because they DON'T say the so-called n-word or any other no-no words.

That's the entire stupid zeitgeist right now. We have a president who literally ran on a platform of post-neo-small-N-nazism, telling the white people they're the real victims and he will make it all great again, like the good ol' days, and give them all jobs and medicine and ponies, whilst telling black folk he wants nationwide stop-n-frisk and blaming every single woe on 'immigrants' and despite all this his supporters are asking for 'proof' that trump is racist because that magical n-word tape hasn't surfaced. And they're not ALL trolling; some of them are genuinely flummoxed behind all this.

I'd like to see a world where every time some clown appeared on TV and used a noxious dog-whistle, some white liberal talking head would respond, verbatim, "You want to say 'n****rs' so just say it you pathetic f**king coward." I could die happy.

There is one absolute no-no-word for white people, unless you're directly quoting something, and then tread very carefully. It's not that hard.

You have to be pretty expert. Don't try repeating Louis C.K. jokes.

p.s. And full disclosure I am a Maher fan but he's in the doghouse on my ****list right now. He's gone overboard with the Islamophobia and the PC-run-amok-on-campus and it's so stupid and transparent. He obviously was shook by the trump victory, as were most of us, and at some point while he was off-air in between seasons he found the outlet for this shookness to be blaming liberals for not being tough on terrorism and for running wild on campus with the PC. It's right-wing derp medicine he swallowed down to take the edge off. It's simple and comforting and it's why so many swallow the same, but I kinda expect more form a person in his position.

I know it's not hard, that's my entire point. It's much easier to get our collective racist uncles to stop saying the so-called n-word than it is to actually change their minds.

I'm too poor for a truck and a Prius, do have a Harley though.

Remember when Maher got fired for saying the suicide attackers on 9/11 weren't cowards?

I like most of his takes, but he just doesn't seem capable of understanding that's his knees are jerking about Islam. I think his ranting about whiny snowflakes or w/e is perfectly consistent and tolerable from his position as a comedian/pundit. Caveat though that I've seen maybe 10% of Real Time max.

I don't get what point he was trying to make. "I'm too good for outdoor labor?" What was the context of the conversation? Was the senator comparing him to a slave and then he said "I may be a slave, but I don't work in the fields."?

Honestly, the election, either through changing his behavior or giving me more clarity, made me realize that he's not the kind of guy we need to have as a thought leader in the left. It's sad because I've been a fan of his for a long time, but yeah.

You could be even poorer if you had a truck and a Prius.

That was the point, but it was a joke. I may be low, but not that low. Really the joke was him just saying "house n...", but it didn't work.

The senator makes a casual remark about him working in the fields (because Nebraska is a state with lots of agriculture) and then he randomly brings up the n-word? Tasteless and not funny. I mean maybe if he was being rude or condescending to Maher I understand it being a way of Maher saying "f you" back to him, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Seemed like a bad off the cuff joke to me. He's done 410 episodes of Real Time where he has to make a joke every 20 seconds and he's trying to be edgy and show he's politically incorrect.

The joke was saying clownshoes republicans are wannabe plantation masters.

Perhaps Sasse didn't 'deserve it' but he's hyperconservative so **** him. He's a climate change denier.
