Wanda Sykes put MAGA Bill Maher in his place:

[Kingofalldems]

“Bill Maher stopped me out in the parking lot.”

Wanda Sykes says thin-skinned Maher was mad about her Golden Globes joke saying he should do “a little less” and confronted her about it outside saying it wasn’t funny.

(Fact-check: many people laughed.)

[mountain grammy]

32. She's great! Love her

[efhmc]

2. I do now and have always despised that misogynist..

[Passages]

3. She's perfect.

[oasis]

4. Give him hell Wanda!

[GoCubsGo]

5. That thin-skinned asshole can dish it out, can't take it.

Wanda is spot-on, as usual.

[Ritabert]

6. Wanda's on the money with that one.

[calimary]

7. Message to Bill Maher:

If you’ve GOTTA support him, can you please just keep it to yourself? There will be fewer uncomfortable confrontations.

[Orrex]

8. He's always been garbage

With a disappointingly devoted fanbase here on DU

[BaronChocula]

9. Best part was the last part

when he asked if she'd be on his podcast and she said "absolutely not!"

One of my jobs involves monitoring and scheduling multiple tv broadcasts and CNN is frequently within eyesight. When they run that dillweed's show and I see glimpses out of the corner of my eye, I'm often disappointed to see people I respect on the panel. He's just a selfish pig.

A friend once texted me a clip of a segment of the show and I told him I wasn't interested because I couldn't stand Maher. Friend gets offended and said "way to keep an open mind." I informed him that I've been seeing Maher's comedy for over 40 years and even once attended a shooting of "Politically Incorrect" long before I stopped tolerating him.

10. Wanda is a comedy genius

Bill never takes criticism well. He can’t handle any joke about him.

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. What do you call a comedian who can't take a joke?

A bully.

[TommieMommy]

12. Love Wanda 💙 she is great 👍👍

[niyad]

13. I loved all the comments on bluesky!

[ananda]

14. Like this one.

To be fair, who knows more about not being funny than Bill Maher?

[niyad]

37. That one cracked me up!

[tonekat]

15. He deserved it!

He's really become such a self aggrandizing ass.

[Icanthinkformyself]

16. Maher claims to be

a libertarian. There is no difference between a libertarian, a conservative or Republican. They are thin skinned and their fee-fees are always hurt.

[MIButterfly]

22. I've always thought a Libertarian is just a Republican who smokes weed

[rampartd]

29. a decent description of mahar

[ProfessorGAC]

24. To Be Fair...

...he is a small "l" libertarian.
He has made comments about the lunacy of the Libertarian party.
He donates to democrats & votes for democrats.
Like me, he's less party orthodox but is clearly anti-republican.

[SocialDemocrat61]

33. He gave to democrats years ago

So did Trump. Doesn’t give him a pass either.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. 2024 Was Years Ago?

That's an interesting perspective.

[SocialDemocrat61]

36. 2024?

Who did he give to in 24? And technically it's 2 years ago.

[paleotn]

17. Hit a nerve.

[Prairie Gates]

18. Fuck Bill Maher

[Blue Owl]

31. Used to like Bill Maher (like in the 90's) -- now he's unwatchable

[Oneironaut]

19. Maher basically became what he claimed to despise.

He spent the last decade blasting overly serious people who can’t take a joke. That’s what he is now - a whiny, entitled brat who can’t take a joke and who constantly does the equivalent of woke-scolding every week on his show or his podcast.

[richdj25]

20. Bill Maher is the....

miniature version of of John Fetterman. Two fools, who are betrayers of progressive causes.

[FakeNoose]

21. Maher was never "progressive" ... he says right on his show that he's a libertarian

... which is pretty much the opposite of progressive.

I won't argue with you about John Fetterman, I'm deeply disappointed in him. He WAS a progressive until he sold out to Chump. Maybe his stroke 4+ years ago affected his reasoning ability, or maybe Chump is blackmailing him to vote R, I don't know. But I do know that he'll never be re-elected in Pennsylvania. I'm a PA voter and I supported him in 2022, and even before that time when he ran for Lt. Governor with Tom Wolf.

Not any more, none of the Democrats will vote for him again. The Repukes don't want him either, so don't believe the stupid stories about him "changing parties." It's not happening. He needs to resign as soon as possible and allow Gov. Shapiro to appoint someone who will live up to his (Fetterman's) campaign promises, because he's not doing the job.

[kwolf68]

38. Libertarian is NOT opposite of Progressive

On Social issues at least.

[MIButterfly]

23. I love Wanda Sykes and gave up liking Bill Maher years ago

I don’t know what happened to him but he's just not funny anymore. He"s more annoying to me than anything else these days. Wanda Sykes, on the other hand, always makes laugh.

[BannonsLiver]

26. I think what's happened to him

Is that he’s an aging formerly liberal white guy who never got the credit he felt he deserved (which he has alluded to with the Emmy awards) and is aggrieved and resentful about all of that as a result. He’s also in his 70s now and probably knows he’s lost whatever fastball he once had, which for someone in his line of work is problematic. There is a feeling of time having passed him by.

[BannonsLiver]

25. She cooked him.

She was a semi regular guest on his show years ago but clearly, like a lot of people, has found his appeal to be very selective as he drifts to the right.

[Torchlight]

27. He seems quite put out when he receives his own gifts in kind

He was the target of something he does for a living, yet cries foul when he's the one at bat and the ball sails efficiently over the plate.

[ZDU]

28. Wanda kicks ass

[themaguffin]

30. Wanda is awesome

[J-9]

35. He's been

Dennis Millerized

[mucifer]

39. I absolutely love her!
