1. Yeah, sorry, no. Maher is dead to our family after he sided with the GOP against trans people.

In the overtime segment of “Real Time” Friday night, host Bill Maher uttered three words in response to comments by provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on transgender women using the ladies room next to “women and girls” that got fans on the political left very upset.

“That’s not unreasonable,” Maher said in response to Yiannopoulos saying, “I think women and girls should be protected from having men who are confused about their sexual identities in their bathrooms.”

[maher] then turned to his guest and asked “where do you stand on weirdos peeing?”

Before election day, he also said that Dem's should ignore "boutique issues" like trans people being persecuted by Christians even though the GOP had done everything they could to try to turn my kid's existence into their big fund raising and get-out-the-vote issue after passing the January 2016 Resolution.

3. I watch Bill Maher as another place to get info or news.

Sometimes I like and agree with him. This is one of those times I agree.

I've been saying the basic message that's on this vid for years, and have gotten pissed at Dems because they seem to have, with a few exceptions, forgotten that they have a spine.

reTHUGliCONS and right-wingers can say and do almost anything, even if it's, and it often is, hypocritical or an outright lie, and they get a free pass.

When a Dem acts like they do, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and they are ganged up on by reTHUGliCONS, and even some (so called) Dems.

And heaven forbid that a Dem disagrees with them.

They are labeled as "angry". Like they don't have a right to disagree with the right.

If that makes me "angry"...

Then so be it.

It's a label I'll wear with pride.
