Why do liberals watch Bill Maher I will never know.
I mean, i have watched him the last 3 years or so and have mostly loved him, not even joking. Im also someone who has some type of empathy disorder and has been having panic attacks and severe depression with the shit happening under trump right now, and im a white straight male. So, what im saying is that there are people completely on board with everything you guys are fighting for that found him to be completely agreeable 99% of the time. Ive only ever had some issues with his Radical Islam rants and the blowbacks.
scary times friend.
He's a smug bastard but segments like this can be cathartic to watch
Republicans say ‘I'm not just gonna stand here and let you run down America,' well ur standing there now and letting Trump run down America
YouTube version
He fucked up tonight with Milo bigtime.
thanks for the post cause yeah, thats kind my thing with him is he basically delivered cathartic monologues that summed up my feelings perfectly over these difficult times, which is why it hurts bad this shit show is happening with milo. People are quick to dismiss him which i think is a mistake when you see he regularly does segments like that but also he is creating a real problem currently.

Scared, insecure. In any case, it's clear he's been getting a lot of shit. And he's having a town hall meeting next week, with nearly a thousand angry constituents going so far, so that's not going to end well for him either.

In the early to mid 2000's, Maher was literally one of the few people on TV who would actually call conservatives and Republican's out on their BS to their face since conservatives straight up wouldn't go on other liberal shows, so you'd put up with his dumb anti-religious stuff, rants about weed and phramacuticals, and the like because it was cathartic as hell. He's also gotten a lot worse about 'PC' and Islam in the past few years and the show itself has generally gone downhill.

His show was way better on ABC, he's a perfect example about how limitations can actually make your show better.

why do Liberals defend religions that are anti-Liberal?

The Old Testament is one of the most evil books ever written.
Defending Judaism in the 1930s would, uhh, clearly be the only moral move.
This isn't fucking hard at all.
He liked his own post?Somebody's scared...

I severely doubt this website actually records results. Its only purpose is to record e-mail addresses for potential donor lists and to further isolate Trump's fanbase from any negative media about him. But hey good job spreading it around by "trolling" it I guess?

Some lefties and Bill Gates have proposed that if capital replaces labor (robot takes someone's job) then that capital should be heavily taxed.
This is the single worst new economic idea I've heard in a long fucking time, holy shit.
It's this weird fucking thing where automation is considered this brand new thing when you can read papers released two weeks ago studying economic conditions in the 1960s where farm workers were replaced with capital. The fact that no firms want to do any automation is why we have no economic growth, massively discouraging any automation just seems awful in conception.

Actually what the hell has Pence been doing the last three weeks? I dont recall any statements from him, it's been all Bannon, Miller, Spicer, Conway
Now all of a sudden he's making comments like that?
It's even stranger when you consider Trump will buck at the first opportunity presented to him.
"I don't know"
"I haven't talked to Mike"
"FAKE NEWS"
It'll be some bullshit on Monday.
Yeah sounds like he's attempting to be innocent in all this chaos. Though I imagine getting rid of Trump would be political suicide for the GOP since all those Trumpers won't vote for them again.

If the GOP wants to get of Trump they need to do it soon rather than later.
I'm guessing he's been trying to make sure he's not going to be taken down by whatever the hell is going to eventually kill Trump's presidency.

This is classic Trump campaign. Trump will say something crazy, offensive, etc.
Then someone else will make a sane statement.
People will get confused about what is actually going on. Think Trump is just being Trump and doesn't really mean it.

Yeah the idea is dumb. Capital needs to be taxed more heavily relative to labor, but you don't need to stupidly penalize automation in the process.
Robots are capital.

Lol. In any event, there's so many things we could do for people to protect them, subsidize them, and lift them up if robots were a real problem rather than a distraction.

Maybe the GOP told Trump that Pence needs to be more involved since Trump/Bannon has been such a disaster less than 1 month in.
I like the robot idea. Bill Gates' point is automation can be exploited for tax avoidance. Human shouldn't be replaced with Job Bot if he's only viable because he avoids taxes on labor such as payroll tax. Perverse incentive and leads to less revenue. We should replace the human job if it's still cheaper after equalizing tax burdens - free up human labor for tasks that robots are bad at, which there are a lot.

All this "oh no technology!" mumbo jumbo was solved in the Dilbert TV series episode "The Knack": http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1c8nz4_dilbert-s01e09-the-knack_fun
Just eliminate everyone with it.

THE SHOW WAS AMAZING
Larry Charles and David Silverman had a lot to do with it in terms of showrunning, writing staff, etc. Scott Adams was also still pre-Dilburitto induced madness. Amazing cast too.

Yeah we're rapidly approaching the point where "labor" as we think of it in terms of production no longer exists.
He's been calling mar a lago the winter White House for a while.
It's really a theater, where his patrons can pay 200k a year for a chance to see a tv performer pretend to be president and handle international crisis at dinner. So exciting!

To be fair, as a lifelong resident, we really do suck.
I think I met Kempthorne once as a kid though, speaking of our elite class.
Maybe we do, but that doesn't have a whole lot to do with the fact that robots are generally considered capital.
They're really no different than machinery or factories, in fact, the only reason why they worth calling out specifically in that context is the fact that we have payroll taxes, but payroll taxes are fucking stupid anyway.

Hasn't that been Pence's role for awhile? He is quiet for long stretches of time. Resurfaces to reassure people that everything is okay and that they are not that crazy. Then Trump and the rest of the crew end up contradicting him shortly after. Wasn't Pence talking to the media last week saying Flynn didn't discuss sanctions with Russia? Which is also why they ran with the excuse that Flynn resigned for lying to Pence.
