Bill's been on a run lately, calling out hypocrisy and lunacy regardless of party, I don't see many political commentators doing that even tho bipartisan Idiocracy is at a all time high.
Can attest to this, everyone trying to pigeonhole the Ukraine thing into their pet peeve is annoying. I may have been guilty of it myself, but I learned as it developed.
I think all the talking heads are just spit-balling bcuz they really have no idea and they need to pay the bills. They'll use anything getting this kind of attention to profit and spread the word. I also pigeonholded the conflict when it started but have taken a step back.
Russia's leader Putin wants the billions he can profit off the huge oil and Gas fields in Ukraine! GREED is a mental illness! Putin owns a 700 Million dollar Super yacht and just built a Billion dollar Palace in Russia! That is NOT enough for him! GREED HAS HIM WANTING MORE! PERIOD!
Including Biden and democrats saying inflation and higher gas prices are due to Putin.. Stop it! Inflation was up and gas prices were up months before Putin invaded. You want to tell me the invasion is making it harder to fight inflation and slowing down the recovery ok I’ll buy that but don’t tell me it was caused by it… Stop lying to us we don’t believe you!
thank you for stating the truth, China has been funding this invasion and messaging on their state media that Ukraine invaded Russia and Russia is retaliating, which as anyone with half a brain knows, is beyond the threshold of mental derangement
To answer Bill's question: (1) Because if Trump had been re-elected, Trump would have had 4 more years to continue dividing & weakening NATO. (2) Because invading Ukraine during Trump's term would have made Trump look weak and thus damage Trump's chance of winning re-election.

Honestly. What I've learned is that every topical event in the news - whether it's the Super Bowl, a new popular movie, a trending viral video, c19, Ukraine, cryptocurrency - somehow *always* manages to have something to do with social politics. There's always some kinda thought piece about how "THE REAL PROBLEM WITH ________ IS..." and conveniently...it's _always_ the same cause the activist has. What a coincidence. People always find a way to make this about them. *Update* 03/29/22: You can now add the Will Smith Chris Rock debacle to the list which is now about race, toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, gender, class or anything else activists need it to be about for their wordpress. Howard _fucking_ Stern equated Will Smith to Donald Trump. Talk about living rent free. Once they said _Avengers: Endgame_ was discriminating against people who need bathroom breaks because of its runtime, I said "Okay then. So, now missing parts of a _fantasy children's movie_ is oppression?"
It's really good to know I am not the only one that noticed this. Not everything is a social cause, but somehow it is? It's sickening, it's quite frankly disgusting, and it says a lot about us as a society.
they are just following the rules, as they were stated in yes minister... just watch the short clip "Yes, Prime Minister: How To Deal With Questions" here on youtube for this one.
but some of those retarded social causes listed do signal to China and Russia that the West is weak and not ready to stand up to invasions like in the Ukraine. Are we going to pretend that a world power like the USA with the world's largest military and the most nukes isn't on these dictators' minds when they pull moves like this?? Bill Mahers cause isn't actually PETA his cause is making jokes only a college freshman could find edgy pretending he's some voice of reason. And guess what he's doing the same nonsense now with Ukraine. Man everyone should just watch the Kyle Dunnigan show instead of this junk

It is why MAD Magazine (and the National Lampoon) were so great and loved by ALL .. modern satirists have forgotten that - I ache for Trevor Noah to be unleashed .. one can tell from interviews that the range of his targets on his show is far smaller than what he personally observes with such wit and intelligence.
Yes , funny for a change, because Bill got off of his over the top critiscism of progressive's which was getting tiresome. Besides it's easier to get laughs when making jokes about the Republican crazies, they are so off the wall !
Jesus, he's describing my wife perfectly. I can't have a conversation with her in any way that she doesn't somehow bring it back to herself and some grievance from twenty plus years ago.
In all seriousness, she might have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. See videos by Dr Ramani or Dr Les Carter. They totally helped me get away from a narcissist. They will never change. Only thing to do is leave.
As a woman I can tell you most women do that. If you think of cheating or divorcing to get away from that, as long as you're heterosexual you will never get away from that.
The problem with thinking you are the center of the universe is you think everything revolves around you, Which is why these people think any major event that ever takes place anywhere is about them or their issue.
Bill Mahar should run for president on the "Progressive" Party line. His campaign would only need clips from his show.

Bill is finally coming around to his comedic style of old and giving it to both sides more. He had to take his mandatory shots at expected people to keep his time slot but way more balanced than just a few years ago. I am looking forward to his mid-term run up shows. There is a plethora of material on both sides.
The problem with mutual disarmament is that it only works if both parties do it at the same time. edit I'm not just talking about nuclear or military war here the "culture war" can only stop if everyone stops at the same time
The problem with mutual disarmament of the nuclear deterrent is that World War III will no longer be deterred. So first eliminate or reduce non-nuclear mobile offensive weapons: tanks, bombers, etc.
I've seen a lot of this on social media and it's really irritating, people in the US, not content with politicizing all of their own problems are now projecting their nonsense onto foreign affairs, even those that have nothing to do with the US, everything just becomes a way to embellish "their guy" or take a shot at "the other guy", it's so narcissistic
I keep coming back to Bill‘s perspective. I enjoy taking it all in; even though I’m not politically aligned with BM. If he ever loses his humor… it will be a darkest day in entertainment. 😞
Think he was always a middle guy that leaned a little more left. In todays world that’s far right. He has to stay on that left perspective to keep his base tho. A few Trump jokes and they hang on. I find lately he challenging more of the progressive left nonsense.
Why? His father was Hugh playboy Hefner. A known ch1ld/woman trafficker. Disgusting, that's one of the reasons he supports Ukraine. A place known for that sort of business. U people are easily fooled. sad.
This was very good, and I liked how Bill focused on a particular cultural pathology which *uses* ideology but isn't really *about* it. It's about humanity's endless supply of taking anything and trying to fit it into a simple narrative box that they can understand (and, perhaps, build an identity/brand around). This is also why it can be annoying when people go "both sides-ing 🙄" and dismiss a point, sometimes it's a different kind of connection than the thing you're annoyed with!
@@BigBadJerryRogers I only expect people to live up to their words, instead of being so openly hypocritical... I don't care what his beliefs are, just think he should stand by them, and start being unbiased like he says he is.

This really goes along with Frank Bruni's comment in another segment on how people immediately jump into a caricature of themselves when they communicate. It also shows what I've been saying about people for years. Something I've deduced while teaching for the past 30 years. People develop themselves into their own brand, their identity, their "thing" and engage with the world within this very closed-minded perspective. Add commerce to this, by way of taking this image/identity/brand and producing content on social media for an audience, and ultimately for money, and you've got the makings of a really unhealthy society.
What do you teach? Yes, American society is very unhealthy. It's sad. But it won't change any time soon. That's just who we've become. Reminds me of the book, "Twilight of American Culture", written by Morris Berman. I think the book was first published in the late 1990's or maybe early 2000's, but its content is still extremely relevant. It's actually quite depressing how every special interest group in American society puts its own spin on world events that ultimately really have nothing to do with them. American Narcissism at work again. It's all about me. It's all about us. Sad, just sad.
Americans are not the brightest. Congress is pretty accurate at reflecting those in the USA. If you want a better Congress than be a better people. I doubt that will happen.
Thank God for Bill and his awesome writers that’s funny yet exposing the ills of our society. It’s very hard to see the injustices, war, pain, and suffering when it’s all orchestrated. If we look back, it’s all about divide and conquer. Control the masses with fear and trauma. There’s no end in sight because we’re not really doing anything to heal the intergenerational trauma. However, we can all unite to create a new world that is opposite of where we are now. The good news is it’s never too late. “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” - St. Francis Thank God for comedy. Don’t forget to laugh today. What an intense week. 💥

"Why didn't Putin invade while Trump was in office?" ....because the January 6th insurrection didn't happen until AFTER the election.........and invasions take time to gear up. That's a DUMB.....STUPID question, Bill Maher.....you boot licking Trump apologist. The simple fact is that Putin was inspired to attack Ukraine because he saw Trump attack Congress for the first time in the history of this nation and it was THEN that he knew that Trump had permanently destabilized the United States. Trump praises Putin and 74 MILLION Trump followers then praise Putin. .....equals Putin coming unhinged.
Putin didn’t invade Ukraine when Trump was in office in my opinion for two main reasons. 1. The US exit of the Paris Acorde / climate change denial. 2. Trump intended to get off NATO or at a bare minimum cause disagreements among the NATO countries.
@@july9566 Nope. No police officers died from Jan. 6th. The autopsies prove it. Supposedly several police committed suicide which is strange in my opinion.

I heard the suggestion floated that Putin was waiting for Trump's second term, when he was supposed to withdraw the US from NATO. A weakened NATO and a Russian friendly US would probably have resulted in less sanctions on Russia and less arms delivered to Ukraine.
That really doesn't make sense. Trump cancelled the Obama era ban on lethal aid to Ukraine and sold them a ton of the weapons the Ukrainians are using right now.
@@Kman31ca Dude, Trump held up the congressionally approved delivery of weapons to Ukraine by attempting to blackmail President Zelensky. Remember Trump's first impeachment?
I realize that Bill takes the liberal perspective but it’s no excuse for missing perhaps the biggest example - John Kerry saying he hoped the Ukrainian invasion didn’t distract Putin too much from the much bigger threat of climate change.
Wondering how much applause he would get if he was to REALLY compare Trump's 4 years to the Biden disastrous last 2 years.. but then the brain dead audience has been totally brainwashed for decades!
Bill's New Rules is still funnier than 99% of late-show programs, and that includes the once great Stephen Colbert, who imploded during the pandemic. Although one could say that a good part of why Colbert has grown less funny as of late IMO owes to Trump having left the center of attention.
I sincerely appreciate your doing that Mr. Foster. Bill may not be everyone's flavour of politicking, but his kind of satire is what keeps the powers in check and inspires an American dialogue rather than this preaching to the choir echo chamber bullshit; we're all on the same team. May you secure for yourself and your loved ones peace, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness.
@@anthonyjones7848 I wouldn't go that far... He shifts so fast from L to R and vice-versa that he's all over the map: that pretty much covers Bill's position..
Well, I must admit that I have my own personal hypothesis about the root of most trouble in the world - both now and historically. That hypothesis is rampant and ubiquitous stupidity. Yes, there are other motivations such as greed, lust, love, etc. However, in most cases where bad outcomes are the result, there is almost always a healthy dose of pure stupidity involved. One of the most common forms of stupidity is knowing something is true when in fact it is not true. The words "I do not know" and "I might be wrong" are not used nearly enough.
Somewhat. Opinions aren't necessarily the truth, but more like something that aligns with your own viewpoint. Be aware that if you ever find yourself in total agreement with someone on the other side of your entertainment screen, that the opinions that you believed you had formed over time by looking at all avenues, may have well been given to you, and you never even noticed because you in fact did not explore any other avenues, and have remained content in the belief that you have a moral high ground, and that those who disagree with you, are in some way flawed, of less good is in them, if you have those types of ideas, they were without a doubt programmed into you, via the media, aka = Television PROGRAMMING. I hope that this is not you as your statement only hinted towards these symptoms of illness but made no conclusion about anything. Take Care.

Europe will have to distance themselves from Russia, they actually wanted independence by trading both with China, Russia and the US.

Europe will become more dependent on US trade now especially gas, which the US can and will exploit.
If a country becomes too dependent on an other one they loose their sovereignty.
The rising gas prices will boost bidens ev adoption plan at home.
The unrest will get Europeans to store their money in the US, boosting the dollar and maintaining its status as reserve currency.

Admitting your hypocrisy and changing is a pretty good quality

Including Biden and democrats saying inflation and higher gas prices are due to Putin.. Stop it! Inflation was up and gas prices were up months before Putin invaded. You want to tell me the invasion is making it harder to fight inflation and slowing down the recovery ok I’ll buy that but don’t tell me it was caused by it… Stop lying to us we don’t believe you!
To answer your question, China asked Russia to wait until after the Olympics was over.
thank you for stating the truth, China has been funding this invasion and messaging on their state media that Ukraine invaded Russia and Russia is retaliating, which as anyone with half a brain knows, is beyond the threshold of mental derangement
@venswim Does China care about the Paralympics?
He inadvertently assisted in the troops being bogged down in the snow melt 🤣
To answer Bill's question: (1) Because if Trump had been re-elected, Trump would have had 4 more years to continue dividing & weakening NATO. (2) Because invading Ukraine during Trump's term would have made Trump look weak and thus damage Trump's chance of winning re-election.

This is hilarious and accurate and also a good reminder to all of us, including me, that some things (many things) really just aren't about us. We don't have to try to understand them through our personal lens and, in a healthy way, we don't have to take a weird personal responsibility for things we 100% can't control.

Honestly. What I've learned is that every topical event in the news - whether it's the Super Bowl, a new popular movie, a trending viral video, c19, Ukraine, cryptocurrency - somehow *always* manages to have something to do with social politics.
There's always some kinda thought piece about how "THE REAL PROBLEM WITH ________ IS..." and conveniently...it's _always_ the same cause the activist has. What a coincidence. People always find a way to make this about them. *Update* 03/29/22: You can now add the Will Smith Chris Rock debacle to the list which is now about race, toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, gender, class or anything else activists need it to be about for their wordpress. Howard _fucking_ Stern equated Will Smith to Donald Trump. Talk about living rent free.
Once they said _Avengers: Endgame_ was discriminating against people who need bathroom breaks because of its runtime, I said "Okay then. So, now missing parts of a _fantasy children's movie_ is oppression?"
That's what the fascists want you to think.
It's really good to know I am not the only one that noticed this. Not everything is a social cause, but somehow it is? It's sickening, it's quite frankly disgusting, and it says a lot about us as a society.
they are just following the rules, as they were stated in yes minister... just watch the short clip "Yes, Prime Minister: How To Deal With Questions" here on youtube for this one.
but some of those retarded social causes listed do signal to China and Russia that the West is weak and not ready to stand up to invasions like in the Ukraine. Are we going to pretend that a world power like the USA with the world's largest military and the most nukes isn't on these dictators' minds when they pull moves like this??

That's pretty common actually. People can't let go of their resentments and hurts.
As a woman I can tell you most women do that. If you think of cheating or divorcing to get away from that, as long as you're heterosexual you will never get away from that.
The problem with thinking you are the center of the universe is you think everything revolves around you, Which is why these people think any major event that ever takes place anywhere is about them or their issue.

This really goes along with Frank Bruni's comment in another segment on how people immediately jump into a caricature of themselves when they communicate. It also shows what I've been saying about people for years. Something I've deduced while teaching for the past 30 years. People develop themselves into their own brand, their identity, their "thing" and engage with the world within this very closed-minded perspective. Add commerce to this, by way of taking this image/identity/brand and producing content on social media for an audience, and ultimately for money, and you've got the makings of a really unhealthy society.
and it all seems to have been planned and set up that way to control us 🤔
What do you teach? Yes, American society is very unhealthy. It's sad. But it won't change any time soon. That's just who we've become. Reminds me of the book, "Twilight of American Culture", written by Morris Berman. I think the book was first published in the late 1990's or maybe early 2000's, but its content is still extremely relevant. It's actually quite depressing how every special interest group in American society puts its own spin on world events that ultimately really have nothing to do with them. American Narcissism at work again. It's all about me. It's all about us. Sad, just sad.
If you've seen the movie "Don't Look Up" or "Idiocracy", that's the mentality of most Americans today, especially members of Congress.
Americans are not the brightest. Congress is pretty accurate at reflecting those in the USA. If you want a better Congress than be a better people. I doubt that will happen.

It’s very hard to see the injustices, war, pain, and suffering when it’s all orchestrated. If we look back, it’s all about divide and conquer. Control the masses with fear and trauma. There’s no end in sight because we’re not really doing anything to heal the intergenerational trauma.
However, we can all unite to create a new world that is opposite of where we are now. The good news is it’s never too late.

@@Kman31ca Dude, Trump held up the congressionally approved delivery of weapons to Ukraine by attempting to blackmail President Zelensky. Remember Trump's first impeachment?
I realize that Bill takes the liberal perspective but it’s no excuse for missing perhaps the biggest example - John Kerry saying he hoped the Ukrainian invasion didn’t distract Putin too much from the much bigger threat of climate change.
Sorry what?
Because Bill probably agrees with John Kerry.

I've never seen so many responders illustrate the very thing they just watched a comedian parody.
Yes, You got it right, us humans keep going around and around in dizzying circles blindly thinking we're getting somewhere.
Go bill go!! Nice to hear someone who makes sense and isn’t full of bologna.
The laugh at the beginning over "trump bad" is so telling given the situation
Wondering how much applause he would get if he was to REALLY compare Trump's 4 years to the Biden disastrous last 2 years.. but then the brain dead audience has been totally brainwashed for decades!
That was not his best but he's still interesting to listen too I'm not a liberal but I always tune into Bill
Bill's New Rules is still funnier than 99% of late-show programs, and that includes the once great Stephen Colbert, who imploded during the pandemic. Although one could say that a good part of why Colbert has grown less funny as of late IMO owes to Trump having left the center of attention.
Maher's not liberal either
He has his moments, probably one of the few palatable lefties around
I sincerely appreciate your doing that Mr. Foster. Bill may not be everyone's flavour of politicking, but his kind of satire is what keeps the powers in check and inspires an American dialogue rather than this preaching to the choir echo chamber bullshit; we're all on the same team. May you secure for yourself and your loved ones peace, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness.
@@anthonyjones7848 I wouldn't go that far... He shifts so fast from L to R and vice-versa that he's all over the map: that pretty much covers Bill's position..
Well, I must admit that I have my own personal hypothesis about the root of most trouble in the world - both now and historically. That hypothesis is rampant and ubiquitous stupidity. Yes, there are other motivations such as greed, lust, love, etc. However, in most cases where bad outcomes are the result, there is almost always a healthy dose of pure stupidity involved. One of the most common forms of stupidity is knowing something is true when in fact it is not true. The words "I do not know" and "I might be wrong" are not used nearly enough.
Bill is smart, funny, and one of the few people who continually tells the truth about what’s happening in this stinking world!!
Somewhat.
Opinions aren't necessarily the truth, but more like something that aligns with your own viewpoint.
Be aware that if you ever find yourself in total agreement with someone on the other side of your entertainment screen, that the opinions that you believed you had formed over time by looking at all avenues, may have well been given to you, and you never even noticed because you in fact did not explore any other avenues, and have remained content in the belief that you have a moral high ground, and that those who disagree with you, are in some way flawed, of less good is in them, if you have those types of ideas, they were without a doubt programmed into you, via the media, aka = Television PROGRAMMING.
I hope that this is not you as your statement only hinted towards these symptoms of illness but made no conclusion about anything.
Take Care.
