Is Bill Maher on tonight? I know he and Rushdie are friends.

We no longer have HBO but I’m curious. I imagine he’s very upset and as much as I hate his attitude of late I feel for him.

3. I thought if that too. I'm sure Rushdie will be back on some day soon I hope. He

is a great guest.

[nolabear]

5. He is. He's very badly hurt though.

I hate this in SO MANY WAYS.

[applegrove]

7. I know. Vibes to all his loved ones and friends including Maher.

I remember when the fatwa was made how awful it was and how brave Rushdie was.

Unfortunately, it looks like all his guests are conservative.

10. He's testing my sympathies.

No, I guess not. But Piers Morgan? Boy I wish Zmahwr hadn’t lost his mind. He always irritated me but used to have liberals on.

12. Piers has been and on again off again Trump toadie.

Looks like it’s “on again” from his comments tonight.

The whole crux of the discussion was unless it’s the biggest crime story in US history it’s a big problem for Biden.
