1. I watch that New Rules segment at least once a month. It's the most epic takedown in history

2. If someone on the otherside

said Obama was related to orangutans we would be outraged and rightfully so. But Maher doing it to Trump and his mom, was pretty douchee .

edit to add: Making fun of people is not humor, in my opinion. (even if he deserves it)

5. "Making fun of people is not humor"

that's what satire and sarcasm is for.

you'r a hypocrite if you've ever read Dante's inferno, and anything Shakespeare wrote. or watched family guy, american dad, south park, and many others.

3. Let's see if I got this straight

It's a horrible insult to two wonderful people (Trump's parents) and Trump wanted to sue Bill Maher over it, but he says the problem we have in this country is being too politically correct. Makes sense.
