22. He gave a million to Democrats a few cycles back. Really why the attempt to alienate Bill Maher from Democrats.

He is a comedian. No problem if you don't like him. I find satisfaction in how Maher calls out the bullshit on the right. You don't find that anywhere else as the MSM anchors give equal time to Republican panelists and don't make fun of them for their lies. Maher and Michael Moore begged Ralph Nader not to run. Was he lying then? Do you think Michael Moore is stupid? Do you think Killer Mike is? What i don't find satisfaction is in how the right tries to make Maher isolated from the left online. For like 8 years. I've always said Republicans will steal our totems. Even Bill Maher admits the right wing keeps trying to enlist him in their American Carnage. He keeps saying they are too cray cray. Doesn't stop Republicans from getting online and hating on him hoping to convince lefties that they can't handle a centrist view and to cancel him. Just don't watch if you don't like him.
