1. RSO

Holy shit, Putin asset Tulsi Gabbard of all people. Between her and Maher, tonight will be a Biden bashing fest.

[Celerity]

2. I predict multiple fire hydrants of shitbaggery, given those guests and Maher himself.

3. Who's Sean Hannity's guests tonight?

And what site do you cut & paste the press release from or does HBO email it to you?

[question everything]

4. Split personality. Never heard of Kurzweil so should be interesting

Matthews, when he had his program never let any guest complete a sentences so perhaps a good match for the now Republican. She is, isn’t she?

Will be interesting if they will touch the debate. I do remember, when Obama had a less than stellar performance in his first debate with Romney, Matthews complained: where was Obama?

Thanks for keeping up

5. I'm not familiar Ray Kurzwell, but he seems to be an interesting person.

From Amazon, about him and his newest book...

"Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public.

In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever.

Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing.

The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil’s crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come."

6. Gabbard is crazy. I have no idea what she was talking about. I don't think these are even

Republican ideas.

7. Tulsi came off badly

She really struggled. Maher didn't have much patience for her.

[In It to Win It]

8. Tulsi Gabbard SUCCKKKSSSSSS

[Abolishinist]

9. Well, Ray Kurzweil was good,

and in the past I always enjoyed what Chris Matthews had to say, he had so much experience working those many years 'inside politics'. Unfortunate that his personal failings brought him down.

Tulsi showed us, once again, who she is.

All in all, good enough to make it worthwhile. Looking forward to his next show in two weeks!

10. I was grateful that Chris Matthews was there, since he has the experience, and joined Bill to push back against Gabbard

She was the guest I was not looking forward to.
