watched Bill Maher on sunday with kellyanne conway. man did he let her get off easy. he did ask her if she helped normalize trump's behaviour. um, hello? having kellyanne on your show and leading with talking about your shared birthdays? give me a break bill. talk about zero self awareness. 

Yeah I was totally turned off by his softball interview pathetic comes to mind! 

I think it's a fine line.  He wants to get conservatives on his show. I respect that.  So you can't be a sledge hammer and expect them to come. 

he was more than just softballing. he was acting like her buddy. 

given his stated friendship with Coulter it seems true to form.

He's friends with that lizard?

There isn’t too much time left; Do you think Trump releases his tax records and health care plan today or tomorrow? Then maybe save the bombshell evidence of voter fraud for Wednesday morning? 

No, not yet.  Wait for infrastructure week. 

Hillary, Obama and Hunter Biden indictments drop Wednesday morning at 9:00.

Is that before or after the country goes dark and The Storm begins?

I find myself agreeing w/ a lot of Bill Maher's takes, but I can't watch his show. He's way too smug, and a bit of a creep too IMO.

He is a poor interviewer. It is to the point where it's really bad now. I was anticipating some back and forth but he let that lady walk all over him. I understand wanting to have "conservatives" on, but what is the point if you're just gonna lay down and not challenge them on their ridiculous points?

After the Storm but before Tricky Team Trump TREASON Tax Cheat is sworn in with his hand on Mein Kampf.

he's incredibly smug. that's part of what turns me off. i was quite surprised he just rolled over and let kellyanne have her way with him.

Like pretty much every other media outlet, I don't think Bill Maher is in it for one side more than the other, I think he's in it for Bill Maher.

he seems to try to play the "i'm smarter than both sides" schtick. or "i'm credible because i also criticize liberals".

I disagree.  He challenged her on a number of points.  But he also let her do her spin machine too. The interview was a reflection of her,  not him,  imo. 

When the show only has liberals on,  it's boring.  I'm talking specifically about the panel.

He didn't challenge her on anything really significant. and when he did it was a "well, um, don't you think, um...." weak ass phrasing. 

it's funny to me that the interview is a reflection on her in this instance, and no accountability to him, but when someone like Joe Rogan has someone like that on, he's being irresponsible. 

she is the Mother of Alternative Facts. of this admin being allowed to say it's wednesday when it's clearly tuesday. she shouldn't get any type of pass. you knew from the first thing he said to her "thanks for coming on my show, i know you could have chosen any number of shows to do". it was pandering. and it was trash. that woman deserves nothing but to be eviscerated fully and completely at every turn. 

I don't like that type of liberal-only format either. i found kuric and that guy from kentucky boring since it was just a masturbation session. but surely he could get other high level conservatives on his show if they want to spread their message. it just doesn't always have to be these spinsters of evil. 

if he's going to go soft on conservatives just to attract them as guests, i think he can probably expect to lose a lot of viewers.

Agreed he could of challenged her a bit more sternly, if these folks who were part of the administration and stood by to watch it all unfold and can just go on as if nothing happened I don’t want to see them or hear from them unless it’s in court hearings!

I thought the intro was odd as well, but it seemed to me that there was some sort of agreement in advance.  She had her talking points about the riot ready to go and she dropped them immediately.  I'm pretty sure these types of agreements happen all the time on interviews.

100%. obviously there must have been non-starters as well like her husband/personal life, but to be honest, i wouldn't have her on if he had to sacrifice his principles. maybe he doesn't think she's as bad as the rest of us do, i don't know, i haven't watched a full episode of his in years. i only watched this one as i recently subscribed to crave/hbo and noticed his show was on there to stream, and knew she had been on.

I record it,  check the panel and if it's bad,  just skip to New Rules which is usually good.

I love Maher.  I am seeing a lot of complaints about Conway though.  I thought the interview seemed pretty normal for him.

Honestly I think he likes to trot those idiots out for us to see in a non Fox news environment.  Like going to the zoo.

He and Kelly Ann CONway go way back and are friends, apparently. That said, that POS shouldn't get a pass and is partly responsible for the train wreck of the past 4 years. She shouldn't be given any platform for her alternative facts and contributions to white supremacy. Get lost Kelly Ann.

He had Santorum on the panel before. And that Milo guy. Seems few and far between though. 

I’ve always like Maher. But I totally understand any complaints about his smugness. And I do think he challenges the conservative-leaning guests. Kelly Ann is hopeless so it’s probably not worth a bother. But usually he’s pretty good with pushing back. Pushing back against both conservative and liberal guests actually. I’ll take that over a liberal appearing on MSNBC or a conservative on Fox News.
