This. He's John Stossel for people who like to think they have a sense of humor. And he has a career for all the same reasons.

Having been dead would explain a fair amount about how Alex Jones' brain functions.

So when Maher tweeted "Liberals need to stop taking the bait. #RealTime #FreeSpeech w/ #MiloYiannopoulos @Joan_Rivers" he was pissing on Joan Rivers as an "emotionally needy Ann Coulter wannabe, trying to make a buck off of the left’s propensity for outrage"? Does Melissa know?

and he had Milo on.

Scroll down.

I assume her family has money in the production and they can't, but I would watch the hell out of it if they would ditch the human paperweight and move Red to the new Blacklist.

Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely.…

And Sean Hannity, who lives on a gated island, would know.

Well, he clearly wasn't ready for the prime time he was chasing.

I didn't say he was an unknown. I'm saying that he's a niche player.

Absolutely. If Maher had been neater, Milo's thigh wouldn't have been sticky when someone else brought him down.

I don't even see logic in that. If the people who tuned in to the Milo situation watched every week, they'd've seen him give an endless series of awful people tonguebaths. Clearly they don't.

So, what I'm getting from this is that Maher is super-popular with people who jumped in to engage when they arrived on the internet a few weeks ago.

One of the biggest religons in the world and an entire other gender are 5%? What do you agree with him on?

See, I would have said that the number of people who started paying attention when Milo came on who had no idea that Maher isn't better than this on an average week proves that he's been irrelevant for some time.

Because he conflates the ultra-conservative nationalized variant which has become entrenched in a number of countries where we intervened to install it with the people fleeing it.

Yeah, sorry, Gordon Ramsay, my psychological adaptation responses to the side, the actual movement to resist this shit has moved far past the people who thought they were going to get to rule in hell.

You know what? Absolutism kinda doesn't work unless absolutists who don't vote in midterms have given you the luxury of gerrymandering the country and taking over just short of enough state legislatures to start ratifying amendments.

If they keep addressing the world the way they do now, they're not gettable. If they decide to engage the world in a substantive way, they're not going to flounce because people on the internet didn't like the way they flushed the future.
