Bill Maher Dares To Dream Of Mediocrity [View all]

Shut the fuck up, Bill Maher.

If the fictional “limousine liberal” conservatives imagine could somehow impregnate the living embodiment of smug condescension, somehow that would still result in something better than Bill Maher.

On last Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO Max, Maher ended the show with his “New Rules” segment. While the various “rules” in this recurring segment can vary from mild chuckle to groan, his final “rule” featured really stupid attacks on NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani.


(Only need to watch the first 15 seconds to see Maher's stupidity.)

It was off to a rough start when his first “joke” landed with deafening silence:

And finally, New Rule: Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party.

Unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.


Maher, somehow shocked that he’s not funny, looked at the audience with a mixture of anger and Jeb Bush “please clap” entitlement.
