Not even fucking close, buddy.

I do understand those things, and Maher clearly doesn't.

You said:

I think he only aligns with Trump on a single thing you listed, and even that’s is for different reasons than Trump’s.

But Maher said:

I told him I thought parts of his plan for Gaza were wacky but that I had supported him in the idea that Gaza could be Dubai instead of hell. I told him he was wrong when he tweeted the night before that I was critical of all things Trump. Not true — check the tapes.

Moving Israel's embassy to Jerusalem? Loved it. The border did need to be controlled. I'm glad the cops are getting their morale back. DEI had gone too far. Biological men shouldn't be playing women's sports. Europe should pay for their defense. And of course, it makes sense that Arab countries should take in Arab refugees, like the million Syrians who wound up in Germany when Saudi Arabia took none. He said to me, ‘You're right, they took none.’

It's fine that you want to continue to enjoy his comedy, by all means go ahead. I just gave the reasons I don't like it, and him; I'm not trying to attack you.

Ha! I don't get how I'm being condescending though; those are the issues I have with him, and it makes it really hard for me to enjoy anything else he says. I also think he aligns with Trump on those things. Where am I wrong?

But also, it's just his style of comedy; I've never been a fan. I don't like Ricky Gervais' comedy either, and I think it's for a lot of the same reasons.

I'm glad he makes you laugh! I won't begrudge you that. Though, it's not that I forget he's a comedian; his humour really doesn't hit home for me. He's had some takes that aged like hot milk, even recently, and the positivity after hanging out with Trump was and is weird.

Weird to me, anyway. But then, I understand the need for inclusive policies that serve a diverse population equitably, I understand how trans rights are human rights, and I understand that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, which puts me further from Trump than Maher is. Quite a bit further, possibly.

If you could get through the light without him condescending to you about your lighting technique, your rolling technique, the lighter, and the weed... yeah, he might get stoned enough to shut the fuck up for a few minutes. That would be alright.

Then again, he got along okay with Trump instead of telling him to eat a bag of fascist dicks, so maybe not.

Musk breaks silence

WHAT silence? That asshole has been the source of a rising crescendo of bullshit covering an increasingly broad range of topics on which he is absolutely unqualified to comment for years. The miracle would be if he managed to shut the fuck up for several consecutive moments.

"Double-neurodiverse"? Look I'm all for more acceptance and understanding of me and my ND homies, but I'm pretty sure you only get the buff effect once no matter how many conditions with that flag you have; it doesn't stack.

Are you okay with tampons in boys' washrooms?!

Yyyes. And it's weird that republicans are not. They're hygiene products, not a political statement.

Nah man, this is very concerning. You don't need to calm down; I think everyone else is too fuckin calm about it.

What I want from anyone supporting this decision is a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity. I want just one. I'll not get it, but I'm gonna keep demanding it.

Behold, Libertarians and 2nd Amendment nutters: Your "good guy with a gun". Aren't you proud of yourselves?

I'm sure it's nothing and everything is fine. Now, who wants to buy some of this Reddit stock? I'll cut you a special deal so you don't miss out! ... Anyone?

Good. What kind of a fucking psychopath sees a car of lost young people and decides, instead of offering directions or at worst leaving them the fuck alone, that they deserve assault with a deadly weapon?

Goddamn deranged.
