Billy Bullshit

Nobody who's watched Bill Maher's long slow slide to the Right over the last few years is even remotely surprised at his pathetic lapdog bitch dinner at The White House with Trump; Maher's long loved trying to play both Devil's Advocate and The Most Reasonable Person in the Room, his weekly manic self-congratulation every time he scolds Democrats not to burn down their neighbor's house for being a Republican is fucking exhausting, so it was no surprise to watch him dance on lasers while pre-admonishing his audience and practically patting his own head "WHO'S A GOOD BOY!!!" over his ASTONISHMENT!! that Trump could act like a normal human being for two hours (I would like to be in the room when Maher watches the show & sees what a pathetic little 6 year-old he looked like relaying to us about Trump asking for his thoughts on world events; Maher thought he was at the Yalta Conference without seeming to recognize he was part of a forum that included Kid Rock, some guy from the UFC, the old host of The Apprentice & some other guy who, incredibly, is the loser of the group). Over this past week everybody sprinted to their YouTube channels to roll their eyes at Maher's bullshit "tell us you want permission to go full-on MAGA without actually telling us you want permission to go full-on MAGA" performance below.

BUT.

I haven't heard anyone else say one word about the part of the show that should be getting attention for being "proof" of Maher's complete submission to MAGA: at some point he brought up Trump's tariffs - it was (is) impossible not to on a show about current events - but before he could even get the word out of his own mouth he smacked the table in an Oscar-worthy performance, barked "BORING!" as exasperatedly as humanly possible, bitched that tariffs are just too boring to talk about & then...moved on to the next topic.

"Too boring to talk about?" From the guy who's spent the last three decades braying to anyone who'll listen how HIS show isn't for celebrity gossip jerkoff sessions, they're for real talk about serious subjects? "Too boring to talk about?" From the guy who delights in talking about growing up in a household that talked politics & world events at the dinner table? SUDDENLY, after three decades of no subject ever being too mundane or in the weeds it JUST SO HAPPENS that tariffs, during the moment in which they're literally the single-most newsworthy subject in the world, TARIFFS are the breaking point for tedium & so gee whiz let's move on to something else WHICH I can't remember but I'm guessing wasn't that the Kardashian sisters are at it again.

To me that was the moment to point out as being Maher's Shibboleth to Trump; I'm sure he'll continue to say he disagrees with Trump whenever there's an easy opportunity without repercussions, but anytime there's some real shit Trump doesn't want him to go against you better believe Maher will keep his trap shut (to say nothing of him surely never calling Trump a "whiny little bitch" again, RIP Bill Maher calling Trump a whiny little bitch 😔).

Not a big deal, like I said none of Maher officially becoming Trump's little bitch was a real shocker anyway but it is a surprise that I haven't seen anybody else mention this. 🤔🤷‍♂️

Of course it won't be a surprise when Trump repays Maher for his new loyalty by shitting on him the first chance he gets.
