I agree with you one thousand percent. Mahre is an old man yelling, 'Get off my lawn!' btw, his opening monologues are NOT funny and he suffers from the same self-aggrandizement that DJT suffers from; they are both self-righteous narcissists. He is deluded if he thinks he is radical for criticizing the Dems, and worse pretending he cares about things he has no comprehension of (parenting and children being one of them. He loves to wax on about helicopter parents, etc. then rails on about how he glad he is he doesn't have any [children]. I am glad he doesn't either he would probably drown them). Also, if you haven't, read his book, True Story: A Comedy Novel which is loaded with his misogynist comments on women and how many he laid. UGH, no wonder he is single, who would want him?

Greenwald said while never citing any proof or even a 'sentence' from the Mueller report, that it was all hogwash. DID HE READ IT? I listened to it on audio, and it seems to me the real crime beyond the obvious, yes, Trump was in cahoots with the Russians, was Mueller not making 45 testify, which has always reeked to me of cronyism. The whole 'you can't indict a sitting president' is NOT A LAW, it's a memo. How many times have all of us read a memo and said phooey to that, then went on to do whatever it was the memo forbid? GOOD GRIEF.

Please comment on Dinesh d' Souza's gross tweet about Putin Dinesh D'Souza

@DineshDSouza 5h

I notice the witless progressives are trying to de-platform and de-bank #Putin in the same manner they have done to Nick Fuentes. The problem is that the little plastic swatter that works on a fly doesn’t really work on a grizzly bear #Ukraine

I am sickened.

I like that Maher pokes the bee hive by having people he doesn't agree with on. His pride at not having any children or being married is bizarre -- not really something to brag about. I'm not married now nor have children but fate intervened. I don't list it as a virtue as Maher does. I like the challenge of listening and disagreeing with him which it why I do. Other "soloists" who stand and spout off completely unchallenged nonsense as the Fox people do are never contradicted and impossible to bear.

Judith, I understand the point of view your coming from, I Just Always get the creeps up my spine, or up back of head when watching Maher, since I first saw him on TV, No Marriage or Kids, Smug, Conceited, Narcissistic, maybe He's The Modern Virgin Queen Of Cable lol

Great list. I used to like Maher too. Though his mean-spiritedness has worn on me. I enjoyed him during the GW Bush regime but less and less since. I no longer watch his show.

At first I pretended not to notice his shift to the right. He's betting on darkness and chaos dominating the future. He should call Dennis Miller and ask him how his gig at the my pillow guy convention went.

I'm so glad to see you pointing these people out for who and what they are. There should be more of this in the media by voices that we know we can trust (like yours). It would be great to see a run-down on all of the truly deplorable (and the semi-deplorable) moles of the far-right who pump out their dreck regularly, working on the inside of our major newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post. Thank you!

They are trapped in the midst a a moral and intellectual collapse similar of that of the Roman empire. They would do anything to survive.

Used to like Maher. No more.

As did I. But his blatant Islamophobia -- and willingness to give a platform to the vile Kellyann Conway -- was the final straw.

Bari Weiss is a joke. Her comment section is filled with dumb Trumpers.

Sad to admit that I wasn’t paying attention to Bill Maher when he went to the dark side. He used to be a comedian, right?

Spot-on Mary! And may I add Chuck Tod from NBC to the list. He continually critizes the Democrats while having no democratic defenders to respond. He endlessly spouted "Democrat's in disarray" while saying nothing about Republicans support for Putin.

Another Great Compilation, "Intellectual Hacks" by Mary Trump, Bravo

Expand full comment

In these unbelievably fraught times, you have become one of the de facto leaders that we need to form a coalition to beat back authoritarianism. It's frightening to admit, butvtgere is a chasm of leadership on the left, and grifters will always fill a void, especially those convinced of their own moral superiority. We don't have the luxury of time on our side, but we're not yet facing death or deprivation, as the Ukrainians now face. If we, with all that we have, cannot protect democracy with the passion that we see from the millions of brave souls across the world then we'll fail not only ourselves, but the memories of those fighting every moment for freedom.
