Every time Maher tried to clarify his opinion on vaccines for the audience I wanted a panelist to shout, "So what's your point?" He says vaccines are good but that history is not a good enough indicator that they should be mandatory compared to a scientific study... huh? But they save millions of lives anyway, so what's your loving point, Bill? Should the government quit filtering our tap water? Obama shouldn't make us drink clean water, grrr!

On the one hand: that bit Kennedy brought up about vaccine schedule committee owning the patents to the formulas, not recusing themselves, and raking in millions of dollars is sketchy as hell and deserves as much scrutiny as possible. On the other hand, Bill seems disingenuous to keep asking, "Why are people so emotional about this issue?" Um, because diseases are making comebacks in anti-vaxxing communities and it's always a tragedy to know children are dying so that their parents may play devil's advocate with the medical community?

Also, Bill, it wasn't a couple hours out of class, it was a 3-day suspension preceded by handcuffs and interrogation. Kind of sets a student back and shoots education in the foot.

EugeneJ posted:A lot of the SNL guys are down on taxes - I remember Jon Lovitz going on a rant about it fairly recently. As Lovitz tells it, he makes a stack of money, pays his taxes, and is sick of getting tossed in with the non-tax-paying rich scumbags out there (then keeps going and claims the 1% are above board and never cheat on their taxes)

Oliver only annoys me when the audience dies of laughter from his analogies (Oliver: "Eradicating communism is like getting the tiny sticker off each individual apple in your groceries - by the end of it, you've lost your fingernails and ruined a week's worth of produce, except in this case the occasional Granny Smith is the combined GDP of a dozen countries, and the fingernails are your nation's best and brightest in the military." Audience: "AHHHHHHHHhahahahaha! It's funny because I agree with him!" A dozen clickbait video-share sites: "Watch John Oliver ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISH Granny Smith!") It's still better than Maher spitting out a pun or dated jab about right vs left then either sneering at the audience for supposedly not getting it (as opposed to just not thinking it's funny) or telling them to go gently caress themselves for being too sensitive (which is warranted when he criticizes the left, I loved his defense of "Obama's not your boyfriend"). Oh, and Bill Kristol is a flaming rear end in a top hat and has never convinced me otherwise over the course of years of news commentary appearances.

ApexAftermath posted:LOL Bill mixed up the wording. The hat says "better ted than dead" and Bill repeats it as "better dead than ted". Between that gaffe and wanting praise as a "gangsta" (from a male black panelist, of course) for telling his audience to gently caress off, his senility was showing more than usual.

Maher: "I mean gosh, if only there was a platform for Muslims to speak truth to power and show solidarity as Americans against the tide of xenophobia and suspicion, but where are they, they need to take responsibility..." Me: "SO HOST SOME MUSLIM SPOKESPEOPLE ON YOUR SHOW AND QUIT BITCHING TO CELEBRITIES AND PUNDITS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE"

Among the rhetorical strategies employed in 2016 was the narrative that white people (or just white men?) were no longer decisive in elections and could be safely ignored. Also, that everyone should just make fun of Trump because the polls say he has no chance and the election's already been decided, lol check out this Daily Show clip of a Trumper MORON who doesn't know 2+2! Uneducated votes don't count, us enlightened lefties (of which I am one) will win by a landslide! Also, that IT'S HER TURN and here's Michael Moore's new movie where he appeals to health care and Beyonce's Superbowl performance to emphasize that you should just vote for her, okay, just do it, stop thinking about it. Need more convincing? Here's Lena Dunham on the PR front lines with nothing of substance to add beyond declaring early victory.

It's not national TV. It's HBO. Larry Willmore needs to guest on more talk shows, but his hosting lost me when everyone on his show gave a complete pass to "male teacher sleeping with female students is a dire crime, swap the genders and it's loving awesome."

Bill challenges Ben on being a conservative while Trump's in power, Ben defends with "I cheer when he does stuff I like and boo when he does stuff I hate" and Bill pushes all the negatives about Trump until Ben relents that, yes, he would support indictments if the evidence adds up and he admits that Trump is enacting a lot of bullshit. Ben makes Bill work through a bunch of tiresome arguments to get there, though.

Holy poo poo the pivot from "we need free speech, including and especially when people disagree, like about the Holocaust" to "I don't tweet anymore because sometimes people don't like my jokes."

Bill took a moment to thank the writers and crew for getting everything operational on short notice. I've never seen Desantis look that comfortable, and even then he was visibly bracing for a gotcha dunk. Surreal. And Matt Walsh next episode? Show is going from "let's respect right-wingers for being willing to visit" to straight ghoulishness. To wit: Walsh authored the anti-trans "Johnny the Walrus" children's book for insufferable adults and recorded a takedown of another children's book meant to teach children consent. (Although comedian/actor Matt Walsh would be a treat) EDIT: Whoops, it's Matt Welch, silly reactive me

Cruz was brought on and warmed over with some chuckles, then Maher went in on January 6 and election deniers, including pushing back when Cruz tried to both-sides the issue. Kinda enjoyed that segment. Edit: Maher references Hillary Clinton's "goddamn purple suit" when Cruz and Peterson are also wearing purple suits?

As soon as the award segment started I paused and tried to guess who the worst recipient would be - Carano? Shapiro? Some UFC chap "telling it like it is?" Then the Garth Brooks award was pro-LGBT and I knew the pivot was coming, and Bill did not disappoint my dread.
