Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 10/9/20

Monologue: Superspreader-in-Chief

Bill recaps the top stories of the week, including President Trump's bout with Covid-19 and the ensuing viral outbreak at the White House.




Rep. Adam Schiff: Protecting Our Democracy

California congressman and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff joins Bill to discuss the Protecting Our Democracy Act and the feasibility of rewriting the U.S. Constitution.




New Rule: Here Comes President Gus

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this presidency it’s that you have to get every rule in writing or Donald Trump will break it.




This "bootleg" version includes the panel with MSNBC contributor/NYT columnist Bret Stephens and Daily Beast columnist Keli Goff - and the interview with former CIA Director John Brennan - it won't last long, but this is all that's available, so far:

1. K&R!

Ty, Rhiannon!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Thanks!

I was waiting for the John Brennan interview to be available at least - and last week they included the panel. Anyway, it was a pretty good show!

3. Keli Goff ruled!

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I agree that she was very good - and she also told Bill to let her speak!

5. When she called him "Vice President Pence" I almost peed myself!

She also made some really good points about the epidemic of bulimia and anorexia. They all missed the point, in a small way, that the conversation needs to be about disordered eating and body image issues; that would tie a whole host of things together.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. You're right, that is something that Bill has never considered, and he does talk about obesity a lot

She obviously doesn't have a weight problem from what she said, but she's able to empathize with those who do. She was the one on the show I wasn't familiar with, but I agree she was very good. I hope he has her back in the future, she contributed quite a bit - and she also has a sense of humor.

7. great explanation on how election can be stolen - through electors

and gop legislatures that may certify electoral votes for trump even if majority in the state voted for Biden. All they’ll need is probable cause, which trump and his cronies have been cultivating for months now.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I also thought that was excellent - as well as his list of obvious Trump transgressions

That nobody thought needed to be written down!

[Auggie]

9. New Rules -- talk about Halloween horror!

Thanks for sharing, Rhiannon12866

10. I also especially liked this week's New Rules

Bill spelled it out, point by point, the outrageous things that they've gotten away with - unlike any other administration in the history of this country - because no one thought it was necessary to write them down.
