James,. I thought the same thing. The one thing the Star Wars prequils got right was when Palpatine was made empirer, Padme said "So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause".
There's no such thing as a good person who does nothing. What's scary is that so many people aren't really good people to begin with. *That* is why democracy is fragile. It's the thin veneer that separates us from savagery, and at this moment, the greatest superpower the world has ever known is on the verge of tearing it down. And it if comes to that, it's the end for us. The irony is that if we'd stayed savage, instead of flourishing for a brief period of time, the stakes would never have gotten this high to begin with.
James. Yes you are right. It just seems funny that in America there are Nazis that are celebrated. Less than 70 years ago we and a lot of other countries fight a war to erase it from the Earth. Now, sons and daughters of men who died are cheering the return.

It is a BAD paraphrase based on The Republic, Book I, 347-C. Plato does not speak of apathy: he says that good rulers are not motivated by money or prestige, that their self-interest in ruling is to avoid being badly ruled.

Mr. Maher's argument and appeal to vote are 100%, absolutely, totally on the nose. It's about the best speech I've ever heard encouraging our citizens to do their civic duty, whatever their age or background. I am also fed up with the Goodwins, Meachams, Beschlosses and others I otherwise respect acting like they are already looking back blithely at the Trump era a century from now and noting how we managed to get through this crisis too, though they have no idea as of yet how this crisis is going to turn out. To compare the Civil War or 9/11 or the Depression to the crisis caused by the ascendance of Pres. Trump to the highest level of power in the nation is ridiculous, isn't it? This is a different sort of crisis. Those had nothing to do with an attempt by a leader to destroy all opposition to himself. Did we succeed in overcoming the Depression automatically because we survived the Civil War? No. They required different kinds of solutions. There was no guarantee we'd find them. If you believe that bouncing back from a crisis is an automatic given regardless of the sort of crisis, that is like saying that fires caused by a match, gasoline or burning cooking oil are all the same and since you knew how to extinguish the cooking oil fire in your kitchen, you will surely succeed in preventing a truck carrying 9,000 gallons of gasoline from exploding once it catches on fire, though the two cannot be overcome in the same way. This is a new sort of political "fire" we're dealing with here, as Mr. Maher pointed out right at the beginning of his exhortation to vote. It is an attempt to fundamentally change the relationship between the government and the people and the president and the rest of the government apparatus. We citizens? We're all that's left to stop that fundamental change from happening, it seems, since the current Congress acts beholden to the single man in the Oval Office. It isn't going to be prevented because we believe we're "a shining city on a hill," if we take no action, action being showing the president and the minority who support the president how truly small a minority they are. They have the right to be heard, but not the right to take over.
The origins of this crisis are unlike any other in US history and stem from basic weaknesses in the Constitution; these may have taken over 200 years to surface, but were inherent when it was created. George Washington foresaw this in his final address to Congress - the dangers of factionalism and loyalty to political parties and their leaders. If Trumpism has arisen and created the present crisis, unless the Constitution is revisited and seriously revised, then there is absolutely nothing to prevent a similar future reoccurrence and perversion of democracy. As things presently stand, given the amending procedure and current rabid factionalism, it is doubtful the very necessary amendments will get passed, let alone see the light of day.
adscri What specific changes need to be made? I'd suggest these two: *1)* Corporations are not people and do not have inalienable human rights. Corporations are a creation of government and have only those rights granted through acts of law. *2)* The Electoral College, if it ever did serve such functions as "protecting small states from big states," no longer serves such purposes and has devolved into a farce of itself and now only serves to pervert American politics. It even failed in its major purpose, which was to mollify the slave states. We had the Civil War anyway. It is time to get rid of the Electoral College.
Steven Rivers I am not a fan of Trump whatsoever. But I think both Democratic leaders as well as republican leaders are extremely corrupt and beholden to special interest groups, corporations, and the military-industrial complex.
Looking on from Australia, I can't help but feel like this is the watershed moment for America. I think the Unites States has been responsible for some morally questionable behaviour over the last two hundred years, but I always felt as though, on balance, collective American values were righteous. If we have to be ruled by a superpower, I'd vastly prefer the US to China, India or Russia. But if the result on Tuesday isn't a wholesale rejection of what has occurred over the past two years, then I think we can say goodbye to America as a force for good in the world and we will see a once great nation begin to fall.
Yeah, and under Pres Trump our standard of living is HIGHER than any recorded standard of living in human history and our home-ownership rate is HIGHER than any other country's. Our economy is BIGGER than EVER before, as is our glorious and supreme military. By every damn economic indicator used to measure American economic POWER for 150 years, our economy is ROARING. America is rushing past Putin's Russia as the world's BIGGEST producer of oil and natural gas, even as the Trump administration is opening up vast swaths of public land and ocean to the oil companies. #AMERICA FIRST!$$$!

I'm guessing the "hybrid regime" will likely come in the new International ratings in January if you don't sort this mess out on Tuesday & from that point on, good luck EVER obtaining "free country" status back! The America we used to know is dead if you don't claim her back on Tuesday. I'm happy to call it now, if the democrats don't win at least the house on Tuesday, trump will remain in his position for life & your constitution will be rewritten into a new government system that no longer includes the right to free & fair elections.

With all you can say about Putin - he is a power monger, a machinator in every aspect, maybe even nearly a dictator - but he is not isolationist. Putin at least understand, that Russia maybe can survive at it's own - but not thrive. Further I think, Putin doesn't really care about being personally insulted (as long as it doesn't affect his power) And this are two of the biggest mistakes Trump is about to make. One - he is about to isolate the US from the rest of the world. I mean, calling Canada a danger to American interests (to justify his tarrifs against them) but in the same breath praising North Corea The same for the European Union and others. Trying to cancel treaties - just because it wasn't him who hashed them out. Here it blends into two - his egocentric behaviour. The constant fighting and alienating the free press. Generations of presidents, even if harshly criticised held up free speech and the press. And even if not - no one went nearly that far, as far as I know. Canceling deals on a whim, because he felt insulted... It is not about him. It is about the country he has sworn to lead. And even if I can't really proof it, I at least feel inclined to think of Putin as a more responsible and predictable in his behaviour.

Quoting from "Star Wars Episode 3" and "Batman Begins"??? Lol
There's no such thing as a good person who does nothing. What's scary is that so many people aren't really good people to begin with. *That* is why democracy is fragile. It's the thin veneer that separates us from savagery, and at this moment, the greatest superpower the world has ever known is on the verge of tearing it down. And it if comes to that, it's the end for us.
The irony is that if we'd stayed savage, instead of flourishing for a brief period of time, the stakes would never have gotten this high to begin with.
James. Yes you are right. It just seems funny that in America there are Nazis that are celebrated. Less than 70 years ago we and a lot of other countries fight a war to erase it from the Earth. Now, sons and daughters of men who died are cheering the return.

"The Price of Apathy is to be ruled by Evil Men." (Plato)
Source?
It is a BAD paraphrase based on The Republic, Book I, 347-C. Plato does not speak of apathy: he says that good rulers are not motivated by money or prestige, that their self-interest in ruling is to avoid being badly ruled.

Mr. Maher's argument and appeal to vote are 100%, absolutely, totally on the nose. It's about the best speech I've ever heard encouraging our citizens to do their civic duty, whatever their age or background. I am also fed up with the Goodwins, Meachams, Beschlosses and others I otherwise respect acting like they are already looking back blithely at the Trump era a century from now and noting how we managed to get through this crisis too, though they have no idea as of yet how this crisis is going to turn out. To compare the Civil War or 9/11 or the Depression to the crisis caused by the ascendance of Pres. Trump to the highest level of power in the nation is ridiculous, isn't it? This is a different sort of crisis. Those had nothing to do with an attempt by a leader to destroy all opposition to himself. Did we succeed in overcoming the Depression automatically because we survived the Civil War? No. They required different kinds of solutions. There was no guarantee we'd find them. If you believe that bouncing back from a crisis is an automatic given regardless of the sort of crisis, that is like saying that fires caused by a match, gasoline or burning cooking oil are all the same and since you knew how to extinguish the cooking oil fire in your kitchen, you will surely succeed in preventing a truck carrying 9,000 gallons of gasoline from exploding once it catches on fire, though the two cannot be overcome in the same way. This is a new sort of political "fire" we're dealing with here, as Mr. Maher pointed out right at the beginning of his exhortation to vote. It is an attempt to fundamentally change the relationship between the government and the people and the president and the rest of the government apparatus. We citizens? We're all that's left to stop that fundamental change from happening, it seems, since the current Congress acts beholden to the single man in the Oval Office. It isn't going to be prevented because we believe we're "a shining city on a hill," if we take no action, action being showing the president and the minority who support the president how truly small a minority they are. They have the right to be heard, but not the right to take over.
The origins of this crisis are unlike any other in US history and stem from basic weaknesses in the Constitution; these may have taken over 200 years to surface, but were inherent when it was created. George Washington foresaw this in his final address to Congress - the dangers of factionalism and loyalty to political parties and their leaders. If Trumpism has arisen and created the present crisis, unless the Constitution is revisited and seriously revised, then there is absolutely nothing to prevent a similar future reoccurrence and perversion of democracy. As things presently stand, given the amending procedure and current rabid factionalism, it is doubtful the very necessary amendments will get passed, let alone see the light of day.
adscri
What specific changes need to be made? I'd suggest these two:
*1)* Corporations are not people and do not have inalienable human rights. Corporations are a creation of government and have only those rights granted through acts of law.
*2)* The Electoral College, if it ever did serve such functions as "protecting small states from big states," no longer serves such purposes and has devolved into a farce of itself and now only serves to pervert American politics. It even failed in its major purpose, which was to mollify the slave states. We had the Civil War anyway. It is time to get rid of the Electoral College.

Steven Rivers I am not a fan of Trump whatsoever. But I think both Democratic leaders as well as republican leaders are extremely corrupt and beholden to special interest groups, corporations, and the military-industrial complex.
Steven Rivers I agree, corruption as of late is terrible And it makes a mockery out of our so called democracy.
Looking on from Australia, I can't help but feel like this is the watershed moment for America. I think the Unites States has been responsible for some morally questionable behaviour over the last two hundred years, but I always felt as though, on balance, collective American values were righteous. If we have to be ruled by a superpower, I'd vastly prefer the US to China, India or Russia. But if the result on Tuesday isn't a wholesale rejection of what has occurred over the past two years, then I think we can say goodbye to America as a force for good in the world and we will see a once great nation begin to fall.
agreed
Yeah, and under Pres Trump our standard of living is HIGHER than any recorded standard of living in human history and our home-ownership rate is HIGHER than any other country's. Our economy is BIGGER than EVER before, as is our glorious and supreme military. By every damn economic indicator used to measure American economic POWER for 150 years, our economy is ROARING. America is rushing past Putin's Russia as the world's BIGGEST producer of oil and natural gas, even as the Trump administration is opening up vast swaths of public land and ocean to the oil companies. #AMERICA FIRST!$$$!

Even if your state doesn't turn Blue, EVERY VOTE is a testimony to the popularity (or lack thereof) of the ruling party!
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

@Joe Smith _"What is so bad? "_
That is! That comment belongs in North Korea, NOT America! That's what a brainwashed victim says, it is NOT what a citizen of a democracy says when in the situation you are currently in!
@Joe Smith yes I know you're not a democracy anymore, you used to be, you used to be referred to as "leader of the free world" ie strongest democracy in the world, but now you don't even rate as a "full democracy" you are now officially rated as "flawed democracy" heading VERY QUICKLY towards "hybrid regeime" & if you still don't arrest the fall, you will find yourself the whole way down to "authoritarian regime" just like Venezuela has done.
I'm guessing the "hybrid regime" will likely come in the new International ratings in January if you don't sort this mess out on Tuesday & from that point on, good luck EVER obtaining "free country" status back! The America we used to know is dead if you don't claim her back on Tuesday.
I'm happy to call it now, if the democrats don't win at least the house on Tuesday, trump will remain in his position for life & your constitution will be rewritten into a new government system that no longer includes the right to free & fair elections. You will probably still have Russia style staged elections in 2020, but by 2024, I'm guessing trump or the family member he appoints to take over his throne when he dies will just outright cancel the elections (for "security reasons/voter fraud of course)

Your blabbering is both uneducated and incoherent. You are contradicting yourself, but maybe you didn't know that. The rhetoric you spew is typical of people who think they are the smartest themselves.
Seriously, if Trump is the bad guy, then who is the good guy? The democrats in office are as rich and corrupt as the republicans. Remind me who votes for less bombs in congress? That stuff isn't questioned by either party and since the media doesn't talk about it, then no questions it.
You can't honestly say Trump is a bad guy without indicting all politicians from all parties.
@Joe Smith Except you never stated facts at all just the usual baseless Trump supporter talking points. The only one who is moving the goal post is you because you were given evidence that refutes everything you but you made no attempt to refute them not to mention you clearly didn't bother looking at the links.
Add to that you're resorting to strawman so arguing logically isn't your strong suit.

Well I am a millennial who voted Cruz so I guess we balance each other out haha
Derek Freiley - As a GenX’r, thank you
You Da man Derrick, Props 👍
You know hes gonna lose right?
Thanks for Everything Bill! You have been an anchor for many of us since November 2016....
im actually conservative, but i cant stand trump. good luck on tuesday guys. i voted blue, and i hope you do too!
dem0ninthemist I'm a right wing liberal. I can't believe I ever thought that he was better than Clinton.
I never voted for him, but I thought he would be marginally better. Boy was I wrong.
Anyways, I voted blue for my first time this election. My County is usually red, but it's looking awfully blue this time around.
dem0ninthemist the trumpers, and religious right have stolen the GOP
As someone who is Center-left, I always tried to come up with the opposite example. Not sure what it is. Kayne vs John Kasich? lol I’d vote for Kasich.
@@HKim0072 LOL I feel you. It's known... to all people who actually voted for Clinton.......
@@Rechard1107 People just hate Clinton. On the right, it’s kinda wishy-washy reason they can’t articulate (and then you have the crazy conspiracy people). For me, she was too much of a politician. Too careful with a hint of inauthencity. She was a very good Senator though.
i live in the UK, someone vote democrat for me will you?
We simply adore you Bill! 💗do the world a favor and "apply" for the position as Mr. President:)
I got chills watching this. The worst thing is that this isn't only happening in the US. In Europe and other places there's been a huge rise of the far-right parties and it should concern us all. Get out and vote, it WILL affect you the rest of your life.
Also, finally someone called Donald a wannabe dictator, have been saying this for months but every liberal/progressive person/politician/reporter/etc didn't wanna call him that because "omg what about the deplorables?".
Jordi Vanderwaal facts
Stephen Colbert has been saying it for a long time too
Jordi: When we defeat Trump the rest of the world will follow. The neo-nazi/white supremacists in Europe and elsewhere have been feeding off Trump's success. If he fails, they will crawl back under the rocks where they live when Democracy is ascendent.
@@hopeemch8511 Your wet dreams are of neo-nazis and white supremacists since these two groups are in very low numbers in the places you mentioned. You just don't like people defending themselves from forced social engineering. You are the nazis to be honest. You are the racists, the haters, the fear mongers. And your time is coming... don't you worry about that.
Its always useful to step back and ask why far right parties are rising up across the globe. Hint: its not nazis
well said Bill!
outstanding & world-class 👏👏👏
Yo're not in good hands, you're in tiny little hands.
Barbara LeMere Tiny little hands that smell like p-ssy.
I don't have anything clever to add so... FUCK TRUMP
Cable news should broadcast this speech instead of the latest Trump Klan Rally
Ha, I like what you did there. Because Trump was hanging black people at the rally. Good point. I bet you won over a dozen new voters.
wrv341 lol right? #MAGA they give us new voters every single news cycle
@@wrv341 ´Not every Trump supporter is racist but every racist voted for Trump that is a fact.
@@Peopleofthesun386 Really, I thought Don Lemon voted for Hillary...
On every channel.
That's the best message ever. No-one can rephrase it any better
This gen-Z will be casting a straight Democratic ticket in Ohio. Can't wait.
Good for you Gracie! Yeah!
This gen z voted 2 weeks ago. Blue all the way down the ballot!
Zennin Casl good for you.
This millennial voted 2 weeks ago too, and I'm proud of you for doing so.
@Michael Anderson bring it biotch
Michael Anderson can i have one too?
Good for you, we Americans need to vote. I voted red though, you know because I have a functional brain.
Brilliant..just brilliant
The single most important New Rule monologue ever.
Yes....yes...yes....yes...yes....a classic...one for the ages!!!!!!
I believe Bill is the most intelligent talk show host on the air
No, Tucker Carlson is the most intelligent. Bill Maher is a comedian.
@@colleenpowell462 Tucker Carlson? You got to be kidding me
@@colleenpowell462 Tucker Carlson is a disciple of Joseph Goebbels.
@@luisreyes1963 Your excoriating declaration of Tucker Carlson is fallacious.
@@colleenpowell462 Guess you prefer prep school elitists as your source of information, ones that have sucked off of the political teet since high school. Tucker Carlson has NEVER done anything worthwhile. Also, look up his crossfire with Jon Stewart. He was OWNED by a comedian. Tucker should go back to wearing bow ties if wants to appear serious again.
OMG thanx for downloading to youtube: Bill Maher is the Best, Im in Europe and every weekend I watch him in a loop non stop
Love your work bill.
Democracy will not die in darkness, but to thunderous applause.
Mr. Maher, I have been watching your show since it first came out when I was just a teenager. I can honestly say that this segment of NewRules is hands down the greatest you have ever done. For now. Thank you.
Political inciveness and scalpel with wit. Bill Maher - damn - WELL SAID!!!
"I'm not saying Trump is Hitler... Hitler volunteered for the army."
Oh that's some cold shit!!! 😂😂😂
BM talk the talk, I watch your show and nobody explaines what happening today better than you. I love it. People need to listen,
Wow that picture and footage of americans doing a nazi salute terrified me. During ww2 of all things! Granted it wasn't until the end of 41 did usa enter the war bit still....
FDR was a socialist who gave half of Europe to Stalin on a silver platter.
@@richardschiffman7657 You do know that the dividing of Germany was a joint effort by the Allies to prevent literal Nazis from working towards WW3, right? Yeah, it had unintended consequences, but the USSR was a key player in the defeat of the Axis forces. Meanwhile modern US presidents on both sides of the fence are happy to hand over most of the Middle East to Saudi Arabia because they're the rich ones and they've got juicy oil.
So much bullshit here...
@ Richard Schiffman: Stalin had already conquered half of Europe when WW2 ended. FDR didn't let him have it, he was just unable to make him give it back. What was he supposed to do, start another war against the USSR?
@ Joe Chief:
Uhm... what? The division of Germany (and Europe in general) was the result of how much ground each side had conquered when the war ended. To prevent the nazis from rising again there was this thing called denazification. Well, in West Germany at least, in the east they didn't care about it that much, since they just wanted to replace one dictatorship with another.
@@richardschiffman7657 FDR also imprisoned 100000's of Americans against their will and stripped them of their citizenship simply because they had slanty eyes. You want to talk about trump trying to get rid of birth right citizenship look at history the Democrats have already done it before.
Japanese Americans were not stripped of their citizenship. Not even all Japanese Americans were But those who lived on the West Coast were detained unconstitutionally. So shitty and unlawful but not the same.
New Rule: All Real Time segments uploaded to RUclips must be in 1080p resolution and the Monologue must be posted first.
Go buy an HBO subscription then
Speaker of the House : Motion Granted ! *Hits own head with the gavel*
@@qc3656 : I disagree. The comma serves to separate "that" from "and", since the "that" refers to the entire prior sentence.
So deadly serious! Glad you.guys listened and showed up. Need a few more.of.you in Fl and GA.
@Unchainedboar
... Many of us Canadians would love to be able to vote on Tuesday... Pity we can't... If the Americans only knew how scary it was in the 30s and 40s to live near Hitler's Domain... they might understand how Canadians feel like living so close to the "GREAT GOBLIN"...
I'm totally in favor of letting the Canadians vote! Maybe we could make French the standard language of the USA. I would LOVE that. Thanks for the moral support John-Albert.
we still have to get rid of Trudeau first
I understand. You are right.
@@nostrum6410 Why do we get rd of Justin... yes he has his faults, and some things have not progressed and other unwanted items have fruited, but not all this is passed is not controlled by his station...
I thought this was about the "THE GREAT ORANGE GOBLIN" from the south... ???
@@FANG1950 ,it's classic "whataboutism". They try to derail important conversations through introducing topics that are not being discussed.😊
Excellent video,, and super funny 😄 of course
well done Bill thanks from all of us
Wow! That picture was a shock to me! Holy shit! We had a Nazi movement already in America. And it wasn't even that long ago!
TheUltimateBeing 01 riiiiiight
James Field I could listen to you talk all day this is very interesting and frightening
James Field facts love
James Field I just subbed you
James Field much love ❤️
i will not have black swans insulted .
Lol that's what I thought lol
I keep forgetting that black swans aren't common in the northern hemisphere. They're so common here in Western Australia, we have one on our state flag.
It's an expression that predates the scientific discovery of black swans.
Bill. You are quite simply a hero. Keep up the good work and thank you.
It's a shame people have to vote against something they hate rather than voting for something they believe in
Thank you I have to vote for mccaskill so that tears my little black Bernie Bro heart to shreds.
Yes
I am in Kansas 3rd district...taking care of Kevin Yoder for you Bill.
Jon Martin same 👌🏻
U and me both sir
@@speedypeanutbutter #Sharice and fuck Kobach!! jesus, that piece of shite...Im only 25 but I know what needs to be done!! Its hard with conservative freinds and family members lol but its important.
@@alexdowning3448 lets take him down. I met him and asked him stragiht up why he's stripping away the Endangered Species Act. He said he wasnt. I gave him examples where he did and he preached freedom of hunting...Like killing baby wolves and bears in Alaska is hunting (he voted for this).. they all need to be taken down..
Didn't that district already go red?
One of the best New Rule yet. So much truth.
I'm not saying Trump is Hitler....I say Trump is "Small Putin".
But this is only the beginning. America, please, stop him!
With all you can say about Putin - he is a power monger, a machinator in every aspect, maybe even nearly a dictator - but he is not isolationist.
Putin at least understand, that Russia maybe can survive at it's own - but not thrive.
Further I think, Putin doesn't really care about being personally insulted (as long as it doesn't affect his power)
And this are two of the biggest mistakes Trump is about to make.
One - he is about to isolate the US from the rest of the world. I mean, calling Canada a danger to American interests (to justify his tarrifs against them) but in the same breath praising North Corea
The same for the European Union and others. Trying to cancel treaties - just because it wasn't him who hashed them out.
Here it blends into two - his egocentric behaviour.
The constant fighting and alienating the free press. Generations of presidents, even if harshly criticised held up free speech and the press. And even if not - no one went nearly that far, as far as I know.
Canceling deals on a whim, because he felt insulted...
It is not about him. It is about the country he has sworn to lead.
And even if I can't really proof it, I at least feel inclined to think of Putin as a more responsible and predictable in his behaviour.
I think you are in cocaine....
@@robertnett9793 Putin is also quite a big celebrity in the eastern world, in spíte of what's known of him. Lots of Slavs, some Kazakhs and others I met from Russia's sphere of influence except for one woman, tell me about how he's brought pride among the former satellites. Something I don't understand at all, maybe in the former Yugoslavia, but how can Estonians feel pride?.
@@larrote6467 It's always interesting, that one thinks to know how other nations and cultures tick.
But beneath the visible things is a huge layer of hidden details about how people think act and feel.
I would lie if I said I know for what reasons former soviet states feel pride for Putin.
I'd think it was for him being a counterweight to the European influence (think of it as 'rather the evil we know than an uncertain one' very broadly spoken).
That and Putin has undeniable charisma and his public image seems to resonate with a lot of people.
I only watch this from afar without any special knowledge about the situation and I don't claim to be right in any way here - that's only as it seems to me.
@@robertnett9793 my only conclusion is that they are so dissapointed in their own states, that they look to the geopolitical powerhouse. That happens here in Mexico, lots of mexicans look up to the US while being apathetic to our own creations, we even have a word for it.
The difference between the Civil War and now, is that at least during the Civil War if you told someone from the Confederacy that something didn't happen they'd believe you, because people still thought facts were a thing.
Not true confederates convinced themselves they were fighting for people's rights even though it was the right to strip another of human equivalency. Don't legitimize monsters.
@Michael Anderson, You tell yourself whatever you need to but you are wrong.
@Michael Anderson, I don't but you clearly do fear it. Deflect and make up shit all you want to deny the truth.
So brilliant and so accurate.
This country has lost its mind in 2016 voting this nightmare in office!!
"The only thing necessary for evil to prevail, is for good men to do nothing."
Lol good always overcomes evil ...
Wish I could give this two thumbs up. Bill nailed it
I voted already, because I am damned scared of what two or more years of Republican rule will bring.
Hello USA 👋
Same this side of the pond😱
PLEASE VOTE!
We need you to VOTE!! And everything else BILL MAHAR SAID!!!
"Win or go home?" No, it's win or go find a new democratic country to live in.
There isn't anywhere for you to run, the last time a fascist system took over a western nation it resulted in a bloody war that lasted almost a decade. and resulted in the first A-Bombing. One century later and now almost EVERY country in the world has a bomb that can blow up a whole city and contaminate the area around it with radioactive particles. We have to fight them here before we take everyone else down with us.
Yup. Canada it is.
a.m. remorse Is it too optimistic to say the states won't crumble? It'll just be a fascist hellscape
As a history teacher... spot on on us and spot on on history! Mr Maher is a master of the craft.
bullshit
@@dwolfg and they say eloquence is dead
Absolutely brilliant!
Damn that was so good. Too bad nobody listened
Lately every time I see and hear Trump at one of his rallies, I hear the distant sound of Hitler at the Nuremberg rallies and I am angered and saddened by what this thing has done to my country. Tuesday we take back this country.
Amen, brother Maher
If someone can make an app where they can 'share' their voting, and get likes and shares from it, they'll hit the polls in droves.
Facebook announced they will be doing that....its a genious idea
Facebook has had that feature since 2016
isnt that kinda sad?
@@nostrum6410 Yes but that is an issue we will deal with at another time. Right now we have to put the kibosh on that Orange Sphincter in the White House
I think you are on to something judging from the comments!
