Bill Maher has been & will always spout the "Libertarian Party-Line" which is basically a Republican who wants to legally smoke pot. He fits both categories, perfectly.
I'm finding that is more prone to happen to those of us who have not experienced parenthood. Hanging on too tightly to their own youth to take a stab at raising responsible grownups. Bill checks that box too. It's The Selfish Pig syndrome and it appears quite contagious these days. Just read thru a thread on canceling student debt and see the selfish, sloppy thinkers whine about "their taxes."
I wonder sometimes if men like Bill had children how different they might be... I mean, he might be the same ol' asshole - but I'm betting he'd somehow be different. It's nihilistic. The End All, Be All stops at the end of his dick (or nose - depending on audience.)
Oh, such a great observation. My own beloved late brother married when he was young, dumb, and full of cum, and within 4 years he had 4 children. He was a terrible father for a long stretch of those innocent kids' lives, but he developed enough self awareness to know it. James always said, "Kids made me a better person."
I noticed some time ago Maher had a weird thing about his Black guests. He fawned over them in a disturbing way, rubbing and touching them excessively. I relate in a sense because I grew up in the deep south of the 50s where apartheid was so total a Black person was a rare sight. I was a little kid in a Western Auto when a little Black boy entered. I couldn't resist touching his hair and was startled by how soft it was. I expected a Brillo pad. Maher got into big trouble when he told some Black guest he (i.e, Maher) was a house n****r. He was forced to apologize on air. Bill Maher doesn't take kindly to being scolded. He's what we called back in the day a know-it-all.
Maher's gone off the deep end. Talk about narcissism. I quit watching him some time ago. I enjoyed lots of laughs over the years, but I was always aware a big chunk of his soul was missing. He doesn't get women at all, except perhaps for Ann Coulter types. He positively despises children. What's cool about that?
Why does Flynn insist on referring to himself as General Flynn? He's a Lt. General which is BELOW General. SMH I stopped watching Bill Maher because of some of the crap he spouts. If enough people stop watching him on HBO he'll be removed from their lineup due to ratings.
"The highest rank in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps is General (⭐⭐⭐⭐), followed by Lieutenant General (⭐⭐⭐), Major General (⭐⭐) and Brigadier General (⭐). Five men have held the rank of General of the Army (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐), George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, and Henry H. Arnold, who later became the only five-star general in the Air Force. The five-star rank is no longer attainable."
In formal settings marines, sailors, and soldiers always use the full rank when addressing each other. In more casual settings they'll use something like "Master Guns" (Master Gunnery Sergeant). I worked for USMC as a software developer. I have a lot of respect for military culture. It's pretty impressive. There are some real koo-koos there, as there are in every population. But by and large, I'm glad we have a strong military.

Oh yes. A permanent 14-year-old.

I believe Sam Harris gave Bill Mayer IDW brain worms.
I've lost some respect for Harris myself over the decades. Don't even get me started on Greenwald.
Or Taibbi. All testosterone-poisoning victims.

Depressing. I used to like (or at least respect) Maher.
I actually never respected him, but I liked him. I like almost anybody who can make me laugh, but I'm weird that way.
