Bill Maher had a great show tonight.

[Elwood P Dowd]

Especially some of the comments and ideas from Michael Moore. If you missed it, here is the YouTube replay.

Edit: You might want to fast forward through that asshole Ben Shapiro at the beginning.

1. Wow! I actually was just now looking to see if anyone had seen it tonight to

decide whether or not I should watch (I have it DVR'd). Sometimes Bill feels kind of hopeless and if that's the case I don't want to watch it. I'm getting sleepy and need to get a good nights rest to be ready of The March tomorrow so I'll probably wait until later this weekend to watch anyway. Thanks for the review!

25. With the exception of the initial interview with Ben Shapiro, it was a good show

I posted this if you missed it. You can just skip the first segment.

2. Michael Moore, Bill and I all agreed that the moron would win way before the election.

Thanks for posting this. Michael was a guest on Colbert last night.

[question everything]

3. Left me depressed

Obama could have appointed Garland as a recess appointee? (I think that this is the term)

And, of course, not revealing that Trump was under investigation about Russia connection?

I think that all of us were so sure that Hillary would win that Obama was afraid it would look like interference.

And in general - talking about the wimpy Democrats, that there is nothing we can do.

Like many, I have been depressed in the past several days. Really refuse to watch the news..

[emulatorloo]

7. No he could not have appointed Garland as a recess appt. Senate effectively didn't go on recess

[Cha]

14. You need to study on it more.. you're "depressed"

over something that didn't happen because there was "NO Recess".

I've seen this before on DU and people need to know the facts.

[question everything]

24. This is what Maher said. I've never seen others fact check what hosts say on TV

but, hey, why not kick someone. If this let syou vent steam, go ahead. This is the benefit of the anonymity of the internet. Better than kicking the dog.

[Trumpocalypse]

4. All he did was bash Democrats

Maher wants Dems to act more like republicans. That’s not the way. That is not how Obama won two terms.

[Tatiana]

6. Obama won two terms and look what happened after.

Look at the citizenry. Look at the control of state legislatures. Look at the gerrymandering.

I don't agree with bashing Democrats, but I do believe in analyzing and learning from our mistakes so we don't repeat them again.

There is nothing wrong with using Republican tactics to our advantage if it helps us regain control of Congress.

[Trumpocalypse]

9. Depends on which Republicans tactics

Ratcheting up the vitriol is not going to work.

[Cha]

13. Yeah Russia took over in collusion with trump toads.

[Cha]

15. It's OPEN Season on Dems.. Threatening Us..

Telling us to be more be like repubs from what you said Maher was on about.

I don't like what Nancy, Schumer, and BSanders did on calling on Dems to let the Fascists with baby caging policies eat in peace. I say Fuck that Noise. #IStandWithStephanieWilkinson

This is Hillary's take on incivility..

17. It IS the way and we better figure it out.

All this "we go high when they go low" gets us is punched in the face.

Aren't you tired of getting your ass kicked? I know I am.

[Trumpocalypse]

18. I don't think racheting up the vitriol

is the way to go. Obama didn’t do that and will just play into the meme that both sides are just as bad. We need to reach out and give people, especially moderate swing voters, something to vote for, not just something to vote against.

[Drahthaardogs]

23. Vitriol my ass. I'm tired of words.

I'm calling for national strikes, shutting down airports. We are too soft. The problem with most of us is that we forgot how we received the stuff we have in the first place. The oligarchy does GIVE stuff away. You have to TAKE it.

[TheBlackAdder]

19. O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road / And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

[bdamomma]

21. the other side is ruthless

when we are not, we could do with some constructive civil disobedience.

[oasis]

5. Gonna check it out. Thanks

[Control-Z]

8. Ben Shapiro.

What a dick. Ugh.

[Behind the Aegis]

10. Can't wait for next week's show!

[scarletwoman]

11. This was the last show until August 3rd. Maher is off for the whole month of July. nt

[Behind the Aegis]

12. I am seeing him in Tulsa! nt

[leftynyc]

22. I am so jealous!!!

I love his stand up and given what's going on, the show is bound to be great.

All ways lovely to see you, BTA. Can't wait to read your review of the show. I have my DVR picking it up as I'm in Israel for the two weeks.

[Behind the Aegis]

27. We saw him in Vegas last year.

I am excited. We (my husband and I) are actually having a date night...the first in 5 years!

Pick me up something nice in Israel! Safe journey!

[leftynyc]

30. If there is anything special

I can pick up for you, please let me know. In Tzfat for next 2 days, then Jerusalem, then Tel Aviv. Weather sunny but not too hot, it's going to be hotter in NY for the next week than here.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Very cool! I'm excited for you!

We expect a complete report!

[Behind the Aegis]

28. I think he will be on fire given recent events, especially here in OK.

I'll likely have a report the following day! LOL!

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Lucky you! He never shows up anywhere near me!

Even if he made it to New York City, that's several hours away. Let us know how it goes!

[Dennis Donovan]

16. Here's a thread with the official HBO videos

...they won't be removed in a few hrs.

[bdamomma]

20. Great show

and we have our marching orders, this is it. Jennifer Rubin had a good idea for LL Bean to pull out of Maine if Collins didn't vote properly. Bradley Whitford was good too.

Michael Moore has always been a champion in his activism.
