These new rules just wrote themselves. It was charity to a man who needs no charity.

All you have to do is repeat what Republicans and Conservatives say, verbatim.

There was the crazy governor of Alabama who strangely resembled Tracy Jordan, and Alec Baldwin didn't like the fact that Tina Fey was making fun of the crazy governor's rantings, so Liz (Fey) switched Tracy Jordan's lines with what the governor said verbatim - and the audience didn't notice!

I am very unhappy about this. Bill Maher does great disservice to Orangutans and Apes of various lineage. I love how his guests laugh so hard. Trump will hate it!

just maybe a distant cousin that no self respecting Orangutan would admit to being related to.

I don't have HBO so I really appreciate it.

OMG that was funny. And the funniest part was when he quoted that idiot lawyer's letter. Comedy gold.

But Maher also makes the very serious point that our legal system is not a joke. I so agree with him. Our overburderned courts should not be abused by rich douchebags like this. The judge should impose sanctions against Trump AND his lawyer for filing this frivolous lawsuit.

I hope they play it in the courtroom before the Judge finds the orangutan and his baboon lawyer in contempt of court. Or just too stupid to play courtroom games. Then I think Bill Maher should counter sue for defamation or frivolous lawsuit or just monkey business.

It would be sublime. And if it actually goes to jury, they would know rather quickly what a frivolous law suit looks like.

The real parody here is Trump attempting to be a comedian with all this. Maher and Trump, like Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis!

He is serious. I follow him on twitter, just to mock him, and he's been spitting nails over this.

would be able to afford to care about other things, and not have such THIN SKIN. Making up for other shortfalls in personality traits, i guess.

Many thanks to the OP=)

He is using it as his plaything and that his attorney went along with it is even more disturbing.
