His arguments are so dumb and dishonest it's literally impossible to believe anyone could be so dumb so that means he's being a dishonest asshole on purpose. Why would he do that? Apparently because he enjoys being a bigoted asshole even though he cries about it when someone accurately calls him a bigot. What a waste.

Jon Cryer did a great job overall but should have called Maher out on his idiotic lack of logic by equating 15% of people being lefthanded with the number of people being Trans.

I'm astonished that he's yet to be called out on it.

All they are gonna do is shriek about Karen Bass and boo the Real Time audience. Meanwhile people are picking through the rubble and still stopping the fires.

So what nobody needs right now. He can fuck off back to "Club Random" and mess with his booze and paraphernalia

We'll get to hear how he alone could have fought the blaze in the Palisades. He's rich! He can solve everything.

As a resident of Los Angeles, if I watched him interview Caruso tonight, I don't think my television would survive because I would be throwing things at it.
