    We can have a little bit of sexual harassment. With a side of fear mongering and racism.



    1, Was he indicted for that? 2.Was there any verifiable evidence? How could 1 be true without 2?

     * The following opinion is mine and mine alone and does not represent the views of my family, friends, government and/or my past, present or future employer. US Department of State: 1-888-407-4747.

    Why did he resign in disgrace? Because he was innocent, eh? Normal behaviour, resign in innocence after 17 staffers come forward.

    Bullying. Threats of removal. Desire to hand the office to a new person fitting the mold, perhaps? 

    Was he indicted for anything?

    Nice movement to prove people guilty without even a single charge.

    Shows his strength of character to resign a position of power with a six figure income because the woke left attacked him and made him resign. Or was it DEI because if he didn’t have to hire women there’d be no accusations? Pathetic piece of shit.

    More obfuscation. He was not even indicted. Perhaps false accusers should be referred to as feces portions.

    Maybe the piece of shit should sue the 17 women who stepped forward and made the allegations for slander and defamation of character? Nah, that’d open him up to depositions and other people testifying to witnessed behaviour. Poor victim of the radical woke left and the #MeToo movement. Poor baby had to resign. Disgusting that you’re defending a sexual predator and based upon your lack of critical posts of CCOOTWH and dismissal of the Epstein Files, you’re all for them. Disgusting.

    Thanks

    I write the following with the risk of losing some friends here.  I hope that is not the case, but I stand by these words and I hope they can respect and accept my forthrightness:

    My own feelings about Maher are mixed.  I like some things he says, but not so for other things, so I don't object to a certain amount of criticism.  What I don't like is the vehement hate that continues to pop up on this thread.  I just don't want my name to be associated with that kind of hate, and am tires of seeing it pop up on my feed here.  There's enough of that in this world as there is.  I can understand hatred toward things like authoritarianism and fascism, and maybe even hate for certain people who promote those things, but I don't understand the hate for someone like Bill Maher.  Since there seems to be an abundance of that here, I would like this thread shit down and invite anyone else to start up a new one if they so wish.  Then if in that thread the hate continues, I can ignore it and it won't show up on my feed every fucking day.

    the thread is titled the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

    i do apologize that maher is a terrible person that is desperate to stay relevant, but i do not apologize for pointing it out every chance i get.

    people like him are going to get criticized. i do not understand asking to have the thread closed when people discuss the bad and the ugly when it is in the thread title.

    Sorry, bud, I'm just not interested in being associated with this thread.  No offense intended to you or anyone else here.  I'm sorry I started it in the first place.  Live and learn, as they say!

    Thanks for agreeing that I'm closer to the truth here, because maher said " he was a little handsy" which is what led to the meltdown here Which is far closer to what Cuomo admitted

    i hear ya. you probably didn't know that maher is not a progressive and has not been for many years. also you didn't know that people like me won't forgive him for wilting in the face of people like milo and some of the other right wing trolls he had on his program and basically coddled them instead of challenging them on any of their bs. you are going to get a lot more bad and ugly on here relating to maher.

    I just think its weird that people are OK with even "a little" sexual harassment.

    Probably so, and I respect yours everyone's right to their opinion about the man.  For me, I feel uncomfortable as it is with the hate I harbor for fascists and the like.  I don't have it in me to engage in any more hate than that because that alone is fucking me up with depression enough as it is.  

    Like I said, I have no axe you grind with anyone here.
