    Sorry guys, I'm not following what was wrong with Maher's bit about encouraging women to break away from abusive relationships and report abuse, especially because the people he was talking about can all afford good lawyers and protection.  
    Of course, if a woman lives in a city, county or state that is weak on convicting male abusers, I can understand why some may be hesitant or afraid to report abuse.  But encouraging those who are in a position to safely report abuse and leave an abusive relationship sure sounds like a good plan to me.
    And I say all this of having had a good friend literally drink herself to death because of having been abused when younger.  Abuse is a terrible thing and needs to be brought out in the open and dealt with.  
    I'm with tbergs on this one. He's not just encouraging women to break away, he's saying it's their fault if they don't. That's gross. To suggest that women also have the choice not to tolerate certain behaviours in order to move their careers ahead is shockingly out of touch. He thinks cuz metoo is 8 years old, all of this went away? That's insane. 

    I don't even agree with him on the take of the "if you have the money, there's no excuse" stuff. Sure, Tina Turner did it. There are countless others that didn't. That couldn't. That feared for their lives, their careers, their friends, their contacts, their reputations, etc, I could go on, that honestly, if there's more Diddy's out there watching this, he just gave them a green light to continue their deplorable behaviour. 


    SOME OF THAT IS ON YOU” is not what you are claiming it to be. She said she could leave at any time. Her words. Good grief.

    If you are doing this for love or for your career, you need to have a little bit more honesty and accountability about that” is what Maher said.

    exactly why you misunderstand most non liberal comments here.

    lol....I really don't get the hate. Still a great show. Still rips on trump the whole time
    I like that he has people with differing opinions on his show. one of the few that will host the other side. I still watch it when I can.  It was definitely a better show Pre-Trump but everything has become left vs right these days with little debate at times is getting a bit stale.

    I stopped watching in 2020 because I believed it was unfair to blame democrats for the woke culture politically . Man that didn’t turn out to be such a good prediction.

    I started watching immediately after trump won because the bobble heads on msnbc and cnn were spewing crap about the democrats loss. And I was interested in a fresh perspective of what the actual f*ck happened in the election, not the nonsense spewed in extreme left amt like viewpoints 

    If there is another political talk show that presents a left, right and center viewpoint, and still “tougher than anyone on trump” according to Al Gore, I’d be very interested in watching it also.

    however, the Dem o Sphere is very much uninterested in self examination, so what’s left is to inaccurately attack Maher. Just like all the defense of fka twigs above.

    I’m curious how a person would only misunderstand comments from one ideology. 

    Make this stupidity make a lick of sense.
