Bill Maher is the patron saint of reactionary centrism. The smug overinflated dickhead has been parroting Fox News talking points while pretending they’re reasonable for decades now.

The fog of hangover?

I know I can’t tell if someone is a good or bad person just from looking at a photo.

But this is very good evidence of the contrary.

Yeah, there is a common misconception that conservatism is about “small government” and “States rights.”

In reality, these reactionaries will use any kind of bad-faith argument, distraction, distortion, or outright lie to consolidate power for their white-supremacist christofascist project.

Their only true principle is that they can tell other people what to do and how to live. The purpose of every single policy and process that they push is to defend and entrench the hierarchy from which they benefit.

He’s going to look so shocked if he gets fired. I guarantee it.

Then do something, assholes.

Or keep acting like cowards who are afraid of what Grabby Grandpa’s gonna call you, that seems more likely.

Woody Guthrie wrote a song, Lindbergh, about America’s Nazi collaborators. Notably, he calls out America First as being a fascist movement in disguise.

And I’m gonna tell you workers, 'fore you cash in your checks
They say "America First, " but they mean “America Next!”

About time the billionaires get some representation.

World’s worst blunt rotation.

This is the biggest takeaway: billionaires live in a society apart. They know their money will insulate them from consequences, and so do their sycophants.

The tastes of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eye for colors and effects. He disregarded the decora of mere fashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his conceptions glowed with barbaric lustre. There are some who would have thought him mad. His followers felt that he was not. It was necessary to hear and see and touch him to be sure that he was not.

Solidarity confinement is torture, and these bureaucrats are sadistic bastards.

This video is the first thing I remember her from. I don’t think she’s fundamentally different now.

They say his legs resemble sausages found near the Trinity nuclear site in 1945.

The guy who voted for not extending healthcare subsidies to the most desperate Americans?

Hope it hurt.

I really hate when people call them “skeptics.”

Skepticism is a questioning attitude or doubt toward knowledge claims that are seen as mere belief or dogma.

They’re the dogmatic ones; there are multiple converging lines of evidence showing that man-made climate change is a real danger; to deny that is not skeptical, it’s delusional. It’s motivated reasoning. It’s believing a lie because the billionaire propaganda machine told you to believe it.

“I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff wrote. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.”

First of all, ironic.

Second, why the fuck was Michael Wolff advising Jeffrey Epstein on PR?
