1. at least the guests don't sound like trolls

colbert has been killing it since his cancel.

south park joins resistance

i wonder how mahar can both sides the epstein thing?

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I'm particularly interested in the Colorado congressman, know I've seen him before, but never paid close attention

My cousin is in Colorado-4 and now she's stuck with Lauren Boebert and is thinking of moving.

[rampartd]

3. i wouldn't move because of it

as i live with senators cassidy and kennedy

i can't think of crow right now, but at least boebert won't be the guest

4. Not yet at least

Maher has a thing for conservative women. Or maybe he’ll just invite her to a play. 😉

5. i don't know if a date with ann coulter could be worse

than dinner with trump.

[SocialDemocrat61]

6. At least Coulter will

Bl*w him after dinner instead of Maher bl*wing Trump.

[SocialDemocrat61]

20. Yes, some of us have principles

and self respect.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Well, I can certainly identify with my cousin since while I may live in New York, I'm stuck with Stefanik!

7. Fuck Bill Maher

[Paladin]

8. You beat me to it.

Yes, by all means: Fuck Bill Maher. I'm sure Maher is already planning another visit to the White House to view trump's new grand ballroom, once it's completed. It'll give Maher a chance to retrieve those kneepads he left behind, last time.

9. We'll be watching!

Tristan Harris should be interesting.

The Atlantic stated in its November 2016 issue that "Harris is the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience." Since then, he has been named on Time 100 Next Leaders Shaping 2021, Rolling Stone’s 25 People Changing the Future, and Fortune’s 25 Ideas that Will Change the Future. He is also the co-host of the podcast, Your Undivided Attention.

James Kirchick is an anti-fRumper

Kirchick supported Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton over the Republican Party candidate Donald Trump for the presidency during the 2016 presidential elections. He described Trump as a "brashly authoritarian populist" and Clinton as "not only ... the obvious choice for those who don't want to see our country degenerate into a banana republic, she's the clear conservative choice as well."

And of course, his opening and New Rules are always fun.

Thanks for posting!

11. On YouTube for Saturday mornings

12. A great show, loved it!

The first part with Tristan Harris was mind-blowing, I had no idea. A big Wowzer!

And I found Jason Crow & James Kirchick to be extremely interesting as well. I'm sure glad I'm not a part of the FBM crowd, I can only imagine how boring they would be at, say, a party.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I have to agree, his information on AI, which I know little about, was scary as hell!

And I liked the panel as well, smart guys. I was particularly interested in Rep. Jason Crow since my cousin who lives in Colorado's 4th district told me that she's thinking of moving since they're now stuck with Lauren Boebert as a Rep.!

[question everything]

13. Missed it. Did not realize he was back. Will catch it other time. Sounds to have been good
