He is no fan of Trump ...hates him in fact . His video is loaded with curses so beware .


What a shocker that the people who see everything through the lens of race and sex see their election loss as a result of racism and sexism. Yes, if only we weren't so irredeemably unenlightened, we would have elected a black president by now. Oh, what, we did? Oh, oh, right, and then reelected him.

Maybe you missed it because it wasn't on TikTok. And sexism? Hillary got three million more votes than Trump, which in a normal country would be called a victory. It wasn't 21st century sexism that prevented a woman from being president, it was the Electoral College.

Democrats run for office as if the voters don't live here, as if they don't go to the grocery store and Starbucks and the office. But they do, they live here, and they actually see women and people of color. And it doesn't look like some patriarchal racist nightmare.

Do problems remain pertaining to racism and sexism? Of course. But a poll last year asked if America is the greatest country in the world. More blacks than Hispanic Americans agreed with that than the white progressives.

It asked if racism is built into our society. White progressives agreed with that at higher levels than black and Hispanic people. It asked if government should increase border security.

Same result. Hispanic Americans are less okay with illegal immigration than whitey. The votes are in, they don't want your pity.

And black people can't afford to indulge rich white people's need to endlessly flagellate themselves. They just want prices to go down and good jobs and the police when you call them. Black people, they're just like us.

"Last week, Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton said, I have two little girls.

I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm supposed to be afraid to say that. Yes, there's the problem in a nutshell."

Gotta hand it to Maher . He is not a Trump fan. But he gives honest assessments about Trump .
He recently went to dinner at the White House for a sit down with Trump at the urging of his friend and Trump supporter Kid Rock. He came away with a new appreciation of Trump .

“Look, I get it. It doesn’t matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian. It matters who he is on the world stage” “I’m just taking as a positive that this person exists. Because everything I’ve ever not liked about him was, I swear to God, absent at least on this night with this guy.”

“But for what it’s worth, I thought the Obama deal was worth letting play out because we made Iran destroy 98 percent of the uranium, and they were 15 years away from a bomb. And then I said to him, but we got rid of that. You got rid of that,”

“He didn’t get mad or call me a left-wing lunatic. He took it in. I told him I thought parts of his plan for Gaza were whacky, but that I had supported him in the idea that Gaza could be Dubai instead of hell.”

“I went into the mine, and that’s what’s down there. A crazy person doesn’t live in the White House, a person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there, which I know is f—– up. It’s just not as f—– up as I thought it was,
“That’s my report. You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured. And why he isn’t that in other settings, I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high,”
