Maher is not an ally IMHO

I am sure to be disparaged by that statement but this is my opinion. He has made ludicrous statements before including calling the US military cowards after the hijackings of planes by the 9/11 terrorists. He has made comments reflecting anti semitism (remember, Muslims are also Semites) by stating that there is only Islamic terrorism. He had used his bully pulpit to demean and deride others in our tent rather than uplift and bring together our tent. His challenging of RW pundits always has found him lacking in both facts and coherent arguments.

I don't mind that others here on this forum watch him or find him funny and engaging.

I obviously do not.

His latest statement indicates his insensitive and insulting manners to demean a person whose death was certain but still shocking to his many devoted fans. He doubles down on his vile statement and will continue to do so looking for a distraction much like the ploy used by the current occupant of the White House. To be fair, Maher is guilty of that SQUIRREL and SHINY OBJECT ruse clearly not in sheer numbers used but certainly in intent as the current despicable presidential administration.

If this post upsets others who find Bill Maher edgy, funny and or witty, I am sorry. But to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson if the King is a tyrant....well if Bill Maher is a jerk,
we might as well say so.

I'm so glad

That there are other people in the world who agree that murder should bear a penalty. I wish it was our President....but I'm happy for the Danes and Denmark.

And often dead naming ximea to play

The media will dead name a transgender person by using their birth name rather than the bane they used in their lifetime.

Thank you

I feed my cats several times in the day with small amounts of food after reading about how the cycle of pounce stalk eat comes to play.

My Pepper is a ragdoll who often gets under the covers just like that! Thank you for sharing!

As discussed earlier

What if someone wore a political (MAGA) hat...so should be for religious purposes and not political grandstanding.

Make it religous only

And not political.

Remember

President Obama laced into him that night and then had nerves of steel to order this operation into Pakistan.

He followed up by a proper burial without showing his body thus ensuring no monuments for Bin Laden.

And Trump is still pissed at that.

An enemy of the United States is killed and he roots for the enemy. Please tell me how this makes America great.

Talking down to you?

He always has...so getting upset should not bother you. I'm sorry about your losses, but as your candidate likes to remind folks, bring home a snake and expect to get bit.

Many RW outlets

Continue to insinuate about Michelle Obama being transgender. As a FLOTUS the level of vitriol should not be directed since they are in the public eye but above the politics.
However, for Melania who has plagiarized speeches from Michelle Obama, whose status as an immigrant is revered by an administration who wishes to remove many immigrants some naturalized and other legally here, her disrespect of Americans with her insistence of flight seats and yes her earlier choices of displaying herself in the public forum (which attracted her to the current occupant) and stating bullying is wrong while married to him makes me IMHO subject to her being part of the politics rather than above and more importantly working against the American people.
