In reply to the discussion: The whole Bill Maher thing. [View all]applegrove
(125,722 posts)out of the people. Especially people who have empathy for other people they do not know. He's dangerous. Doesn't matter if he can clean up for a dinner. Trump is still the person who he is day in, day out. As they say with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the is no Dr. Jekyll. (Mr Hyde murdered multiple people in person, Trump not in person but millions will die). Trump is the person who repeatedly and intentionally goes after others to his own glee to carve out a win where someone else has to lose (he doesn't understand win win). Millions of AIDs patients in Africa will die and children will be orphaned. It costs 8 cents a day to stop that. He lies. He exploits. Doesn't matter if Trump is nice to Trump's own family or to Bill Maher. How is he to the young women who find themselves knocked up when they are no way ready to start a family? How about taking voting rights away from people? Trying to shake down Zelenskyy? This whole dinner was just an attempt to dial down the anger and fear in the center and the center left so Trump can keep breaking things. The Trump admin seem to break things and backtrack (Harriet Tubbman censored and then not, Medicaid pull apart, then not in February) if its cruelty overwhelmes the public and the public starts lashing out at Trump and his administration. It gets too hot. Dinner with Maher was just an attempt to normalize Trump and dial down the opposition's emotions in another way, particularly those in the who watch bill maher, so Trump can break things the next week (the world economy almost, many people's 401Ks). Again all so he can do stuff, like get rid of income tax and replace it with tariffs like Trump is already hinting at, so his rich friends will be richer and poor people poorer. That he is kind to people who he needs doesn't matter. Millions will die. Hundred's of millions lives will be bleaker.
