Comedian Bill Burr mocked Bill Maher on the latter’s own podcast on Sunday, telling him he does not know as much as he thinks he does.
On Sunday’s Club Random, Maher criticized college students and “cancel culture,” which Burr declared “over” and said that “no one cares anymore.”
Eventually, Maher...
BATTLE OF THE BILLS
I dunno why the quality is so bad, maybe it's the cigar smoke.
bill maher's immediate and childlike victim complex tells you everything about him as a person and how he sees this. to watch police brutalize students and their universities punish them and then to say that it's easy to side with the kids is genuinely delusional. bill burr continues to be a guy who gets it despite not being like particularly well-read or anything like that.
Something's gotta be written about how quick libs are to want to make "hard nosed" decisions like murdering children is okay or whatever. Some weird psychological reflex. Maybe the conservative bullying of them being naive hits home and they jump at the chance to show they're a real adult or something. But it's just so strange because objectively the "hard nosed" decision they're making is the absolute easiest one for them to support. It isn't hard at all.
It's easy for them to support because it serves their interests. It's hard nosed because acknowledging that it supports their interests means acknowledging that they have the same interests as the people they position themselves as being against.
He starts by calling them Hamas, then says it’s easy to support the kids. So which is it Bill? Are they terrorist supporters or simpleminded children? Or are you just a fascist?
I remember once a comedian in the same amount of time in Hollywood as Maher told him that he still does small time gigs in comedy clubs to keep his material fresh and so that he can be challenged by new audiences.
Maher looked at him like he grew eyestalks and asked him why should he ever do that.
It really is understated how many talentless hacks got their break in the 80s and early 90s are now polluting the entertainment industry with their endless whining.
It'd probably best serve Palestinian cause to condense why and how Israel's campaign into Gaza is genocide with bullet points/talking points.
For example:
Cite Osama Bin Laden using the justification of collective punishment on Americans when justifying collective punishment on Palestinians.
As an occupying power, Israel is responsible for the welfare of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Gaza is in a state of famine.
Palestinians in Gaza are denied medical care, food, shelter, clean water.
Palestinians in Gaza are being shuffled around through the strip in a labyrinth of death, being attacked wherever they are moved to.
All qualifies under ethnic cleansing.
Bring up Ministry of Intelligence leaked document on a proposition to ethnically cleanse them to the Sinai.
Bring up ICJ ruling that genocide is in a state of legal possibility within the Gaza strip.
Bring up the very dialogue Israeli politicians were making up to a month or two of October 7th musing and seeking policy implementation of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Maher relies on collective willful ignorance, racism, or naive confusion - as the facts are deliberately obfuscated by mainstream media - on behalf of his audience to justify Zionist practice of genocide and oppression.
At best, I appreciate Burr just treating this like a professional obligation rather than the simulated friendship portrayed here.
I mean, if he had some white house staffer, some DoS ghoul, or some congress person on there, the fact that they likely have done shit on Washington wouldn't make their argument for genocide any better.
I understand that Bill Burr is shutting down Maher by reminding him that he's just a performer without any actual influence, but tbh I'd prefer it stayed that way instead of the alternative: Bill Maher having some sort of executive power.
Such a fucking idiotic smug loser. Bill Maher deserves the Joker treatment on live television. It's not even worthwhile to go over the nonsense he says about not attacking Israel because he doesn't actually understand what he's saying. Truly every Bill Maher fan's brain is just a puddle sloshing around in their heads.
Not that rare. He might be rude and a little off on certain things but Burr is very open about being a socialist. Not a Bernie socialist either, he's a comrade.
