Admitting to hating children "refreshing"? Really? nt Laffy Kat Jul 2018 #7

But when I am dealing with one, I become parental in behavior. I think that people often don't think before having kids and some kids behave horribly socially, but, I don't dislike them because they are kids.

Made great points and gave lessons everyone should take to heart. And, as always, funny as hell.

His points about how we as democrats allow ourselves to get backed into a no win corner because of being overly sensitive about somethings were good. His point on Islamophobia was good, most Muslims in America are good people, but there are some that want to kill people, republicans state the extreme, but touch on stuff that makes common sense better than we do, so they often win when they should not. There was another thread tonight on abortion, republicans have hammered us with the claim that we are pro abortion, but I saw person after person embrace that term when pro choice covers all the important freedoms and doesn't leave us defending our values.

But I think that he is funny and well informed. I don't agree with him often, but he presents his viewpoint well.

With him 90% of the time. He says things we need to hear but aren't allowed to talk about here. We can't talk about what we think we are doing wrong or what we could do to make things better for our party and our success.

With the exceptions of it be a bit warm in there because of the lights, the cameraman sometimes stepping in front of us, and the seats being small, the show was great! He was on point and it the audience, as one can hear, really responded to him. The gasps when he said he didn't like "Breaking Bad" was hysterical! He actually got some boos from the back and mezzanine, but it didn't translate to the video (we watched some when he got home).

Many of his jokes were blatantly partisan so I did wonder if there might have been those who reacted badly - but then they probably wouldn't have gone to see Bill Maher!
