‘Nobody has been harder … about Donald Trump than me,’ Maher says after fellow comedian compared his meal with US president to meeting Hitler

Bill Maher doesn’t seem to be a fan of Larry David’s satire of Maher’s dinner with Trump.

I thought Larry’s satire was very good. What do you think?

    Left: Fuck Israel. Fuck Abrahamic religions. Fuck genocide.

    Right: Jews went to work camps. Holocaust never happened. Jews control the world. Jews are replacing white people. Jews need to go. (((Soros!!!)))

    Maher: the right is the worst but can we talk about how much the left hates Jews now? I feel like being mean to Trump is basically shitting on Holocaust victims.

    Also Maher: I can host a show called Politically Incorrect, and the people I agree with deserve free speech, but everyone else should speak in murmurs and hushed tones. Won’t you have compassion??

    It’s been fascinating watching Bill Maher’s brain atrophy over the last 15 or so years.

    He’s living proof as to why there should be ANNUAL DRIVING TESTS required past the age of 60 to keep your driver’s license.

    He’s always been a narcissistic asshole, but he used to have a few decent insights. I stopped entertaining him when he started his tirade about Islam specifically being the problem. He used to know religion in general was just a vector of control by people with more material aspirations, but conveniently forgot because he wanted to start old man raging which requires cutting power to your logic and reason.

    Kinda insulting… Kinda. Weak. He can’t say it is insulting victims of the holocaust, because then he’d be speaking on behalf of them, which is a no-no. So he implies that it sorta, coulda, maybe, in a roundabout way be insulting them, because he doesn’t want want to validate that it was very clearly an insult aimed directly at him. No wonder he simped for Trump. “He didn’t order anyone illegally deported to a concentration camp while I was there, so he is actually an alright guy. Hawk tuah!”

        Larry David is Jewish by both parents, and was raised a Jew, but he’s the one that is anti-semitic?

          No, I’m not defending Bill Maher by any stretch! I can’t stand that guy and I do generally like Larry David. I haven’t read what Larry David wrote so I can’t really speak to it. I just think it’s bizarre that Bill Maher is pulling the “6 million dead Jews” thing when he himself is Jewish, plus it’s a moronic cheap shot against a guy who is widely recognized as a Jewish American comedy icon.
