1. Thank you for posting Rhiannon12866

Very much appreciated

[Rhiannon12866]

4. You're more than welcome!

Not the best guests he's ever had, obviously, but this version won't disappear, and I was pleased that they included his "funny bit," always one of my favorite parts of the show!

2. I did not include Overtime in my post of the full show

Because you'd already done so and I've no desire to muscle into your posts from HBO. (My own post is a bootleg.)

5. That's fine, we see that most weeks these days

The thing is, we used to see Bill Maher posted here, but the videos never seemed to last very long - so that's why I go with the official version. Thanks for the consideration and welcome to DU!

3. Sorry Rhiannon, I posted the show right after I watched. I wasn't sure if you

were going to. It definitely wasn't one of his better ones. Too many right wingers. I don't know why he feels he always needs to have someone from the other side on. I really don't want to hear their opinions and they are all just full of crap anyway. I think he just enjoys arguing with them.

6. Well, you know I post the official version since that's the one that won't disappear

But I recognize that they leave out a lot of the panel discussion so I'm sure what you posted is appreciated. And I agree that this wasn't one of his better shows with the RWers that his audience won't appreciate. I do think you're right, that he enjoys arguing with them - but it's not like he can be expecting to change hearts and minds. I watched the show more than once just to see the lineup for next week which looks much more promising - Andrew McCabe, John Heilemann, Andrew Gillum, Jon Tester and Jessica Yellin.
