Asra Nomani is a fucking idiot!

Just finished Real Time with Bill Mayer. This woman is a complete idiot. She voted for Trump. Why? Liberals are too forgiving of what's wrong with the Muslim culture. Soooo vote with the Klan? Are you fucking kidding me? So Jews being threatened, law abiding people being deported, the environment being destroyed. That's better? What in the ever loving fuck is wrong with people? She then went on to make excuses for the NBA player who literally thinks the world is flat and we're being lied to. Jesus fucking Christ. I was less infuriated by Darrel Issa.

Nomani is a moron. She has accused everyone from Soros to Streisand to Hollywood (her anti-Semetism is clear) to the DNC for paying for the protests.

He is the most unctuous person in Congress. Well at least we got him on video saying what needs to be done with Russia investigation and Obamacare. But he has no conscience and in fact will vote exactly opposite of the views he expressed tonite

Good thing I wasn't on that panel. I'd have told her that her vote contributed to two fellow Indian immigrants being shot. Hope she's happy with herself.

Do yourself a favor girl, miss this episode. (Except the last New Rule which, well, ruled.)

Did you catch when she told Seth that according to the records, the district his family lives in in Connecticut voted in such and such a way. First of all, he is probably registered in California now, not Connecticut. Secondly, and more WTFly is WTF? She Googled where he is from and then researched the voting trends there before she appears on a panel with him?? Does she need individual psy-ops talking points to win arguments? Or does she just have a big ol' Muslim-Reformist-Republican-Trump voter crush on Seth? Pretty creepy.

when she said she found out where he was from (CN) and that people in his district voted for dt too he did seem a little perplexed. I'm thinking to myself - WTF!!! Yuck on her.

Pedophilia is OK, Dummies believing the earth is flat is OK to her because it is just where they are at? Oh and Drumpf lying right and left is OK too. What?

Good grief something is wrong in that lady's brain. I though Seth, Bill, Angus, all of them were way too kind to the that bubblehead.

They are all living under a cloud of threats and fear. Most frightened immigrants would be afraid to say a word that is anti Trump in these times they are living in. Also, who knows what threats against their families are made against them?

She wants us all passive regarding Trump. But when it is her issue, she wants liberals to come out stronger on the problems within Islam. Yeah right lady. Come to think of it Pierce Morgan was trying to calm democratic feelings towards Trump two weeks before. GOP and their talkers sure do feel vulnerable to this deep movement taking place between Americans because of Trump and all his assaults on the country and lies about its institutions.

She has a calm, motherly tone when she speaks, which seemed to disarm Bill and the panel. Seth McFarlane even called her smart at one point....which I'm sure he regretted later. She has a "Trump Translation Machine" in her head -- that's what a simpleton says when they have to answer for their own cognitive dissonance.

Her bizarre criticism of the women's march was when I did my spit-take. Pure incoherent nonsense. Then she presented Keith Ellison as some kind of extremist, which is laughable. Her justification for voting for Trump was also a convoluted mess.

of wisdom, but she was just as idiotic as some ranting, raving Trump troglodyte. The typical wolf in sheep's clothing. She really appalled me. I wish the panel would have gone harder on her, but I think they were so put off by her "motherly" tone that they gave her a break.

My respect goes out the window. No question. In my mind, from then on out I consider them not very smart, or savvy, or compassionate. Nomani kept talking about empathy and to sub-phrase, "connecting with people were they currently are", although Trump does just the opposite. On top of it, she described herself as a Muslim. If I live to be and thousand.....

I wanted to slap her.

She thinks Trump is great. And has the gall to lecture the left about them needing to behave sweetly toward the right. All while Trump's handlers are actively working to destroy the Republic.

Seth was barely able to get anything but some eye-rolling in.

Maher needs to do better with his guests. I get the need to have some right wing fodder (and Issa looked like he was wetting himself as Maher pinned him down to things he'll no doubt walk back immediately), but people like her make the show not worth watching.

fucking words to say so little.

The fucking disconnect about how liberals have to combat Muslims when they're full of shit. But with the other side of her reptilian mouth. She's saying right wingers get a pass because "that's where they're at.".

I don't know if like Mr Gay Minstrel himself this is some kind of shtick. Or if she's got some screw loose for real. She does kind of have that Michelle Bachman glassy stare into the distance vibe.
