    Maher Lights up Biden, Dems on COVID Restrictions: 'How Much Wrong Do You Get to Be?'

    Bill Maher has been on fire lately in terms of his critique of COVID restrictions and the liberal establishment.

    Two weeks ago, he had on Bari Weiss, who excoriated the restrictions and how much they had hurt kids — she called it a “catastrophic moral crime.” Last week, Maher himself tore into the left and how they had “gone mental” with their crazy policies and rules.

    Maher said Americans were just tired of Democratic rules — even before COVID came along.
    Democrats have become a parody of themselves. Just making rules to make rules because it makes you feel like you’re a better person. Making sure that everything bad never happens again, which you can never fully do, it just makes everybody else’s life a drag….Democrats no longer possess the common sense to understand that not every problem in the world can be fixed with a regulation.

    This week, he went to town on the COVID restrictions.

    I have reason to believe that Trump is behind this because he just has to be.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      I'm not in agreement with Bill Maher on many of the positions he takes. I find myself increasingly respecting him because he's not afraid to tell his own side that they are wrong.

        Yeah, I was a bit surprised he launched into this, and isn't backing down.

          Maher is a bit of a puzzle at times. IIRC, he has been going after his fellow travelers over the cancel culture and biological males competing as women in sporting contests.

            Maher is just noticing this now? Democrats have been acting like this for as long as I've been paying attention to politics.

              Maybe he's having his own little awakening?

                When he had a show on the Comedy channel many years back he was essentially a libertarian and skewed both parties. But after his move to HBO he took a decidedly left turn started targeting religion in general but particularly Christianity (although he goes after Islam a great deal as well) and spouts off-wall-wall pseudoscience (anti Germ Theory and vaccines in particular).

                  Just because he has to be? Indubitably - the most solid of all possible evidence against Trump. Irrefutably conclusive evidence beyond all doubt.

                      America now has a better than 70% vaccination rate. It seems unlikely that restrictions (apart from masking in hotspots) might have become overkill - even outright pointless.

                        Yeah, I don't get into that debate - it was just interesting to me that Mahr, usually a bleeding-heart liberal, seems to be at war with his own colleagues.

                          With any luck, he and others in the same position will produce an avalanche. From what we are seeing here, Republicans would benefit from a similar (but less drastic) shake up. It might even result in a better united America.
