When Bill Maher crossed the line on Trump

[Howard]

I'm a fan of Bill Maher and have watched him regularly on P.I. (90's) and now on HBO's Real Time.
But he's WRONG when he makes jokes about Trump having sex with his daughter, Ivanka .
I emailed the show and let my views be known.

I'm calling out one on my side of the aisle, for bad behavior.
It's easy to do this when they're on the "other side".
If everyone starts doing this, common decency, might become common again.
THAT would help make America great again.

[Straw Man]

Why can't Maher joke about Trump having sex with his daughter when Trump himself has "joked"(? ) that if she weren't his daughter he would be dating her

[Dos Equis]

Too many threads Howard.

Holy smokes.  About 25 threads just on the first page.  Didn't realize that. 

Slow down Howard.  I may need to start merging.

He is a comedian Howard and his daughter is an adult.  Probably poor taste but as Straw pointed out, the man himself has made references to her as well.  Try as you might to call things down the middle, it will never be reciprocated by the other side.  Especially the stormfront crowd on this board.

Don't recall seeing you as the bastion of bipartisan conversation.

And it's the leftists on this board who are more prone to outbursts, constant use of childish names, and the inability to concede a point, no matter what.

Like Fagbama?  Moochelle?  Is that what you mean.  Thank you for making my point.  In other words, pot meet kettle.

Yes, please merge them all under a "Fart Noises" thread like you, or Princess, or some other mod did last time Howeird went off the rails.

Nope - I have seen SC give in on points.  Multiple times in fact.

No pot/kettle either.  I'm an independent who hates both parties.  But the hypocirisy and lunancy on the left is unparalled at the moment.

And don't bother with "but trump", because the lefts lunacy, inconsistency etc is top to bottom.  They have reached a point where they are afraid to directly say they support capitalism and not allowing abortions up until the point of birth.

And, one of the reasons for that is that I discovered (and others validated) that Howard retained special poster privileges from an experiment Ron conducted with certain members years ago that enabled him to delete other members' posts from threads HE started.

Because of his abuse of the function, he was not permitted to start any thread on the poli-board for a time.

Certainly the left has some spineless motherfuckers.  But there is nobody in in congress on the left that is even close to the batshit crazy fuckers on the right.  You are full of shit.  "Independent" is a fucking cop out.

You must be on crack.  Maxine Waters?  That idiot (whatever his name is) who was worried that Guam might tip over?  Mazie Hirono?  Adam Schiff?  Eric Swallwell?  Just a huge collection of dummies.

You are really desperate to be liked here.  You might want to try another board as it's not going well.

Just sayin.....

I think he's a smug asshole and wrong about a lot of things, but he's a comedian FFS.  I'm tired of having everything ruined by this p.c. bullshit.  He can tell all the Trump fucking Ivanka jokes he wants.  I haven't heard a funny one yet, but hopefully he nails one and we all laugh as one.

Lol, you sound mad.

Ocasio-Cortez / Thlaib / Omar / Bernie / Beto / Warren / Hirono are fucking bananas.  Some of them provide weekly, almost daily, gaffes, fuck ups, and just sheer stupidity.   If they were on the right, you guys would be even more distrubed than you are now.....SNL would have weekly characters, etc..you'd all be in an even greater state of TDS, if that's even possible.

I'm independent because I agree with policies that contradict ideas on both sides.   I've wanted a border wall / secure south for over a decade.  I'm pro-Isreal, strong military, as low taxes as possible, and documentation for voting.  I'm also pro-choice, want us to take better care of our elderly and sick, want education reform, a healthcare overhaul, and don't give a shit about what ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation you are. 

I recognize bad behavior on both sides of the coin, but while the Republicans can suck, the Democrats have completely lost their collective minds.  Their best chance is going to be Buttigieg or something, because everyone they are parading around right now is making complete asses of themselves, and not endearing themselves to the centrist.

the same can be said about our Snowflake in Chief except you have to add Twitter meltdowns and whining about TV shows to the list

I agree.  I've said this many times, but the Republican Party sucks and the only reason they are in power is because the Democrat Party is intellectually bankrupt.  In fact, the only reason the Democrat Party even exists today is because the Republican Party is full of a bunch of spineless liars.  Just look at what they failed to do the past two years when they controlled DC.  Could have gotten rid of Obamacare.  Could have avoided the border security fight.  Could have cut my taxes even more (why is no one talking about a flat tax?).  They all suck. 

That said, they don't share all of the same problems.  Democrats have lost their collective minds.  Full of not too bright nuts.  Taken over by socialists.

Pretty much x2, but Israel needs to be kept in check.  No more stealing our shit, and no more spying.  Also, loans are money we borrow them....if we cancel it off every year it's not a loan... it's a donation, and I'm tired of seeing us give handouts to everyone while our debt goes through the roof.   That being said, they are the only thing keeping the middle east from a complete islamic jihad, so I really don't know what the alternative is

As for Pete...I don't care about his preference, but I'm not voting for a gay pride parade around the WH lawn each morning or a "first manly".  It has nothing to do with being against gays, and everything to do with the fact that no nation that is a threat would take us seriously.  Sure France would, but they are not a threat and what's the worst they can do to us?  Make snide remarks about "those stupid Americans" while donning pink camouflage berets before throwing French Fries at us?    The middle eastern islamic states would rise up to build a nuclear arsenal as soon as they could just to prove a point about a gay America being against their god's will.  No thanks.....we got enough issues with the one's here at home that Obuma let in that refuse to assimilate already.

Could have if not for the now dead rhino whose daughter can't get over the fact that her daddy was a jealous, hateful, and spiteful man that Trump won in one try what he worked his whole life to rightfully earn.  The only differences between him and Killary are that one liked pussy, and not the dick, and that McCain was able to stay in politics until he died after failing to win the presidency.

Collins and Murkowski voted "no" too.

Despite my sincere intensions about promoting "common decency" and civility, most stayed in their respective corners.
I guess "anything goes" so long as your ripping on the other team.

Doesn't matter. Incest isn't something too make light over when it's this personal.
If we dems want decency restored ,we need to clean up our own house first.

Good thoughtful post.

Like my dear ol' MOM once told me ; " No excuse for that!  2 wrongs don't make a right."

Keep bringing up your mom into Getbig.com, then complain when others do too.

Go with the flow or get washed out to sea 

WTF's that supposed to mean?  I don't speak Georgian.
