Bill Maher complains about how much in taxes he has to pay, thinks he's proof that rich people pay taxes, and he wonders why he pays "more than half" and poor people still exist. Ana Kasparian agrees. "Yes, talk about those fucking taxes right now!"

Bill Maher: "One of my big complaints about the left has been 'The One True Opinion'. There is the one true opinion. And when you deviate from that, it's so ironic, the people who absolutely hate bullies so much are the biggest fucking bullies in the world."

Ana Kasparian claims the left turned on her over her opposition to being called a "birthing person". Ana Kasparian: "I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, and I don't want to be called a 'birthing person', I find it super insulting."

"Whitey" is such a dated term, literally no one has used it except right-wing white people for decades.

Ana Kasparian voices her criticism of American foreign policy that has destabilized Middle Eastern countries. Bill Maher accuses her of "blaming it on whitey". "You're not really blaming it on whitey, are you? You're blaming Islam on whitey?"

J.K. Rowling, whose transphobia is so extreme that even Elon Musk told her not to focus on that so much.

Ana Kasparian: "If we start talking about Gaza, I think you're gonna disagree with me probably, that's probably where we have the most disagreement." Bill Maher: "Maybe later, maybe later, because I will definitely carve you into little pieces on that one."

The idea that boomers are less racist than everyone else is WILD.

@muhammadshehad2 @nawafsalam @rachshabi @aaronjmate Aaron Mate isn’t just an Assad apologist, he literally stood on the rubble of destroyed Palestinian homes at the Yarmouk refugee camp to do propaganda for the regime.

Max Blumenthal joins Glenn Greenwald, Ryan Grim, Lee Fang, and Jimmy Dore in praising Matt Gaetz. https://t.co/WMOuy9m7BA
A bunch of people decided to either defend Matt Gaetz, or point out so-called "positives" of his views. Was it worth it?
