Since that meeting, Maher noted there have been no jokes about his weight, no jokes about his hair, his makeup, etc. Maher made it clear that digs about First Lady Melania Trump were off the table, too.

Maher shared that his writers recently pitched a joke about the presidents hand, but he said that he shut the bit down. Im 70. That could be my hand tomorrow, Maher stated. So Im not making fun of physical deformities and that stuff.
Maher gave in to the bully.

(38,030 posts)When was the last time you heard his ridiculous combover bleached pompadour discussed? Or that he wears orange bronzer EVERY DAY? His obesity? That he wears lifts in his shoes?
But remember that time John Kerry wore biking shorts? All over the news. He wasn't heteronormative!

(21,328 posts)Really, there's very little difference between him and the orange, narcissistic jackass. A different color of narcissistic jackass I suppose.

(26,811 posts)after all his diatribes against wokeness, now he justifies pulling his punches against Trump by saying he will get old someday so he won't make fun of the President's physical weaknesses. So he emphasizes with Trump but not the rest of us. Fuck him.

A PSU alum sent Olbermann a tweet saying "We Are!" with a link to the news on the Thon.

When you attempt to score points by dragging in a third party, the bare minimum is that the third party not be laughably flawed. Otherwise your "argument" collapses under the weight of its own irony.

(2,692 posts)has always and should always live under a a very incisive and critical microscope. His health and ability to serve this country are tantamount to the duties of the fourth estate reporting. Bill Maher now says he just gets a pass because 'I'm old too and I wouldn't like it'. Then don't run for President Bill or Donald.

(10,672 posts)He said hes afraid he will be killed. He said it could be from either side as he offended both sides.
He also said the younger comedians are not as good as him. Narcissistic I would say.

(6,580 posts)he would risk it. My guess is he just doesnt attract an audience any more because hes not funny anymore and everyone now sees through his BS.
