'Here's why Bill Maher and John Fetterman are MAGA's favorite liberals'

[sop]

(MS NOW) "There are plenty of reasons why Bill Maher and John Fetterman are often praised as rare reasonable liberals by President Donald Trump’s supporters and fellow travelers."

"The 'Real Time' host and the Democratic junior senator from Pennsylvania both nurse grievances that they have been unfairly mistreated by 'the left.' (Maher recently claimed to have been a victim of 'soft-canceling' because his HBO show has never been awarded an Emmy.) They are both strident supporters of Israel’s ruling far-right government. And, as evidenced by Fetterman’s appearance Monday on Maher’s podcast, 'Club Random' — where the gimmick is that the 70-year-old host openly drinks alcohol and smokes weed — they both have a tendency to bend over backward to praise Trump or otherwise whitewash some of his most inexcusable behavior."

"Right off the bat, the two invoked a truly tiresome, faux-'politically homeless' bromide. Maher lamented, 'Everything becomes a political battle. Everything is just an excuse to say your team is stupid and my team is great. It has nothing to do with anything.' "

"As an example, Maher cited the controversy over Trump building the White House ballroom and parroted the MAGA line that such a construction project is urgently needed after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month. Maher described the ballroom’s cost as 'couch money,' and Fetterman ascribed the backlash to 'TDS' (Trump derangement syndrome) — the abbreviation the lazy brain uses to dismiss any and all criticism of Trump."

1. How does Mahr still have a show? He's turned off most of his audience and the more people tire of his

constant whining, the more insufferable he becomes. Cancel him - replace him with Colbert and let him go sit in his ugly dated basement and and do his Club Random podcast. The tiny clips of seen of that disaster is him blabbing and complaining non stop while his guests sit there and can't get a word in. Bill loves to hear Bill talk while many of us have stop listening.
