How is it that every time Bill Maher trends for being a piece of shit there’s STILL a new group of people JUST figuring out that he’s a piece of shit?

Bill Maher said kids are coming out as trans because it's “trendy.” Yes, what child doesn’t want to feel trapped in their body, told they’re mentally ill, have their parents arrested for supporting them, and possibly be killed by a bigot who Republicans then start a GoFundMe for?
He always claims to want to have nuanced conversations, then says this shit, conflating kids who use gender-neutral pronouns or don’t dress according to gender stereotypes (sometimes as a social statement) with kids who are trans. It’s ignorant, debasing, and horseshit.
Who among us isn’t willing to fuck things up for kids suffering from gender dysphoria because of a handful of kids with oppositional defiance disorder? I confess to be an ignorant about the nuts and bolts of gender dysphoria treatment. I’m sure Maher is too.
The correct "treatment" for gender dysphoria is to allow the person to be who they are inside without persecution
It's really so low-effort to the right thing in that case. And yet.
I think no effort. I don’t take nothing to STFU.
Bill Maher is a schmuck.
Same with the entire LBGTQ community. I remember they said the same, verbatim.
It's like people choosing to be gay. Sure. Being persecuted is awesome.
right? that was the argument 30 years ago - "oh they just want to be 'special'" when you would have done just about anything to fit in and be 'normal'!
He’s always been an asshole but the Covid lockdown seems to have pushed him over a cliff. He’s been a much bigger jerk since then. I don’t think he’ll ever be right. I stopped watching him around 2021 and won’t go back
Yes. He definitely became unhinged during covid
He was that bad during Trump 1.
Even if kids are exploring gender as a fad, who the hell cares? Like seriously the hysteria over all of this only makes sense if you think being trans is a bad thing
I've hated him since the 90's. His schtick was old and stale then. He's just a reactionary crank and generally terrible person.
I think the only people who are just realizing that Bill Maher is trash, are people who actually agree with him and are like “oh I’ve been missing out on him all this time?!”
The "centrist" view is always like this...bigotry.
A few years ago, I worked with a pediatric endocrinologist who had seen thousands of kids during his career. He said he referred 2 for further testing. Medical, mental health, genetics, adolescent rebellion, whatever. True trans is rare.
no ma'am. we're not going to do that either. if you personally aren't in a body that feels 'wrong' to you, or are the intimate partner of or parent to someone who is, you don't get to have a say in what trans or 'true trans" is.
There are many reasons why bodies don't 'feel' right, and many are medical reasons. Calling it all trans is limiting, and potentially dangerous, to those going through it.
it's not though. "trans" is a big umbrella that many nonbinary people, transmasc people, trans women & people who don't fit into the body they have now can easily find a spot under. Trans being used "only medically is limiting because many trans people don't want medical support or transition.
You obviously know nothing whatsoever about this topic. Therefore, you would be well advised to do us all a favour and shut the fuck up.
lol Sure bot
lol Sure, ignoramus.
You’re ignorant. This is irrelevant but I’ve been working in the medical profession for 22 years FYI.
Then you should know better.
there are no "further tests" to send a kid to get. There isn't even one teat that can tell you anything about it. And you have no idea what his diagnostic failure rate was.
That paediatric endocrinologist was a know-nothing dolt and a child abuser. There are no medical conditions that mirror the symptoms of gender dysphoria. People like this are just bigots and would say the same thing about homosexuality, which they luckily generally aren’t able to pass judgement on.
We’re trans because it’s trendy, we hate bill maher because it’s trendy, we oppose genocide because it’s trendy. Have we considered that they’re just out of touch with the trends?
This is when I started hating him. To be fair, I hadn’t watched him since the 90’s but figured he was still ok until this.
Maher is a narcissist who thinks he is smarter and more witty than he actually is.
It's great when unmarried white men w/out kids opine on parenthood & children's issues. He has no personal experience, no research, no expertise. All he has is an (incorrect) opinion formed by personal bias & social media. And a microphone. Let me now give you my opinion on being a rich tv host.
He doesn't even have much behind his opinion. When asked how he could go from NPR to Fox, he said, "I have no real convictions, it's all just a gig to me. I'm an actor, really".
Like how more kids "came out as" left handed when people stopped publicly beating them with sticks, tying them up, and verbally abusing them? Yeah, can't see how stopping state sanctioned abuse, torture, and even murder would naturally increase numbers... /s
Or increases in everything from cancer to Autism to ADHD diagnoses. Can't be that as we're supposed to do as humans, we've continued to study things, learn more, and make progress.
My boomer mom is confused by my use of sunscreen on my child, because she didn't use it on herself when she was young. I reminded her that we used to use lead in our paint and mercury in our thermometers but as science learns things, we adapt to the findings. Yeesh.
Like my silent generation mom not getting that she needs to take Tylenol and not the aspirin she's known most of her life but shouldn't take now because she's on a blood thinner. "I'm just used to aspirin". Yes, mom, I know this wasn't a thing then, but it is now.
OMG, mine too. Mom, the Dr said take ibuprofen for the pain. Oh, I don't have any of that. (She was just at the drugstore)
My Dad had his left hand tied behind his back in school. I was luckier, just called a witch. People are so cruel. Who gives a damn about someone's sexuality unless it hurts somebody else? I care more if the person is kind and not an asshole. No one is forcing people to change their gender.
Checkmate, Libs! A guy none of you can stand agrees with us!
It was me. About 7 years ago. Took me a long time. Lol.
Good question. I’m looking forward to the day that the lightbulb finally goes off from my wife and she realizes that he’s a piece of shit but for now she still believes that he is the Nostradamus of our time
I was her until this past Friday nights episode. He was so disrespectful to Rogan, because he had to defend himself (mahr) he’s a POS. I couldn’t even finish the episode, I hope his viewership sinks!
Like a nation of Dory’s.
The dude is a dipshit that's only in"journalism" for his own unjustified ego
Laughter!
They let me, we stopped listening to or watching him years ago. I will never watch him again and I don’t even know what he did this time, but I don’t need to know, all I need to know is that he again has confirmed I made the right choice all those years ago. F**K Bill Maher and his fans.
*They like me,
I wasn’t aware that he was still alive
I’m still trying to figure out why he’s relevant in any way.
Anyone who affiliates themselves with PETA is gross.
They would not have announced his WH invite unless they knew in advance that he was on their side. They're producing a TV show but it's real life. Heck, Trump's so far gone he probably thinks it is all a TV show.
He is so arrogant. This makes him unwatchable for me.
He has devolved into the MAGA cult.
Take the win.
Questions that need answers
Because no one watches his show.
Some people are just slower than others. 😏
He's been a phony baloney for years. I stopped giving him any attention because he turned into a creepy, smarmy cunt who thinks he shits ice cream. He's a fluffer in the Orange Kunt's Circle Jerk... ICKY POO!
How is Maher still relevant?
I figured him out 25 years ago
Who watches his show? Ugh.
Yeah that recap of his dinner with Trump— doesn’t he know Trumpy put on his “hey there cutie, what’s your name” persona and buttered up The other egomaniac at the table? And he fell for it - sad.
Never liked him, ever.
... Better late than never.
Ask Keith Olbermann about him .
Maher is an intolerable narcissistic pompous ass, like his new buddy.
Because the level of his shittiness is greater than the volume of his reach.
I’ve never really been interested in his sense of humor, he doesn’t seem to have a compass. It’s whatever is funny at the moment and that’s not how comedy works.
What exactly did Trump tell Bill in that little room that he dug up on him that he would Bannon & Piers on?
Exactly! What a sellout!
Bill and trump both visited Epstein's island. Maybe they were reminiscing about the good old days. They have many things in common
You’re too kind he’s worse
Look how much time it has taken for MAGAts and they still haven't figured out Trump is an asshat.
I asked a friend vacationing in California to give him a friendly punch in the face if she runs into him.
He’s been a piece of shit for years.
Tolerant left always hating on anyone who goes to the middle. Bill still dislikes President Trump and Trump still dislikes him. But they talked. OoooooH so bad
Sitting down to dinner and "talking" with a fascist isn't something we should be tolerant of 😒
You are buying into the hype. He is not a fascist. By saying that, it proves you do not know what a fascist is
That took three minutes to show that Obama did the first three things on the list. I could show more, but I like my Sundays. By the way I do not think that Obama or Trump were Fascist Have A Nice Day
🤣🤣🤣 of course, you don't think Trump is a fascist. You'd be admitting you are too if you felt that way
Of course he doesn't think Trump is a fascist, his entire timeline is a shrine for wanking off about Trump and everything he does. Trump can never do wrong in the eyes of the credulous.
Dude, besides being uninformed my profile has more sports on it than Political stuff. Your profile is all TDS and EDS. Please sit this one out and get help
Go back to Twitter, you'll be more at home with all your fellow dipshit fascists there.
You do not know what a Fascist is

I stopped watching Bill Maher back in the late 1990s during his “Politically Incorrect” days. I find him to be an insufferably smug condescending pseudo-intellectual that loves the sound of his own voice.
I should also add opportunistic.
Used to happen every few years on twitter re Eric Clapton...
Cuz fewer people than you think pay for HBO?
He wasn’t always corralled by pay channels.
I did not know that.
I'm still not sure who he is!
Maher being the sort of stupid that says, "well he was nice to me, I don't see how he could have raped you."
That is so incredibly accurate.
💯
Seriously. I'm on year 20 of not liking the dude.
Used to watch him during Dubya. How long ago was that? Between the misogyny and science denial. I gave up.
There's something about his condescending personality that always rubbed me the wrong way even when I agreed with his take on whatever topic.
ugh, preach it's the smugness... even when he agrees with me i want to punch him
Right?!? Add this to my list of things I will never figure out.
Liberals, what can we say?
stopped being funny in the 1990s...
Right?! Every year, I forget and watch him for like 5 minutes and am reminded how big a piece of shit he is.
When he was vaguely dunking on the Dubya Bush Administration, a lot of people said "ah, good, he's one of us," but almost nobody actually wanted to watch his shit, because he's NOT FUCKING FUNNY OR ENTERTAINING. Then he's in the news for being a turd-slurping fuckstick, and they go "oh, shit."
He’s just angry and bitter.
I wondered the same thing that time I figured out he was a piece of shit.
I figured out he was a piece of s*** a long time ago. He's an addict. A pot smoking old f*** who can't get laid anymore So he's playing both sides hoping to be relevant. He did an interview with Jane Fonda. It was a s*** show. He was incoherent and she called him out on it. Unintelligible drivel
climate change causing rising piece of shit levels
Seriously. I dont know a person who has even considered listening to Bill Maher in a decade
It's because we don't watch TV, and furthermore, don't really care. Why do you? No offense, I'm really just wondering. Why do we like talking about and being outraged by pieces of shit with literally no power or control?
honestly no clue. it’s mind boggling.
He went to the same Joe Rogaine school of swamp turd. He’s a piece of cock snot
I recall he had a thing about fat people that was good. (Am fat people.)
It’s was nasty and bigoted.
I can believe that.
A coma can last years. 😴 He's always been an elitist prick, but the bigotry has been building over the decades. He's flat out insufferable now.
He’s been a piece of shit, no doubt since he first convinced himself that he was “ brilliant, witty, relevant, watchable, and bankable by major networks”. I stopped watching him when it was obvious that he was a not so closeted misogynist/republican. Little wonder he never married. Who wants THAT?
Who even IS his audience right now?
The “Dems” who agree with him. I have met a few on Bluesky that are just as transphobic as bill.
I got no use for em
Me neither. They think that cause they are Dems they are not bigots or can’t be. I like to call them out
It's hard to see how anyone can be that consistently wrong without everyone noticing
And they're usually young enough that they aren't the "Oh, that guy, he was really funny, I wonder what he's up to 15 years later" crowd.
Because he was and is becoming increasingly irrelevant? Because not everyone pays for cable? Not everyone is interested in celebrity culture? What’s common in one generation isn’t common to all generations?
maybe they are slowly putting the pieces together? (i think I'm funny😂)
Because he's now a piece of shit that sucks tRump cock
👆🏼SO true!
That is amazing. This time he ends up full MAGA.
Well... I think it might be that he just keeps getting shittier
This country has the memory of goldfish. They probably forgot. Like they forgot what a nightmare Trump was.
I figured it out in 2001 with his coments about the terrorist attacks.
Same
I've been wondering that for awhile .. do they just forget?
Proud NOT to be apart of the new group✔️
He was a POS who understood what kind of threat Trump posed early on. So we gave hive a lot of leeway What shocked us normies was how much Bill abandoned that concern at the moment his worst fears proved true.
🤣🤣true story
Probably because people ignore him most of the time.
It's astonishing
Perhaps he's not as famous or relevant or influential as he likes to think he is and thus escapes wider notice.
It's hard keeping up with everyone who is a piece of shit.
Because there are layers of tolerance.
It's amazing.
He us, unfortunately, nothing if not a survivor - albeit the most amoral, empty variety... youtu.be/JNl4FWNav-A?...
reminds me of informed citizen dems who used to blow elon, loved his E-Cars & now brag about selling them. no wonder bobo outwits democrats
Because - like me - they’re holding to who he used to be …or, who we thought he was. I was a devoted fan from the late 90’s to 2015 ish. Did he change — or did I remains the question I guess. But either way — fuck him.
It’s mind boggling.
It’s like peeling the layers of a stupidity onion.
He really is an arrogant asshole, isn’t he.
Because white people will literally do anything but hold white people accountable 🤍🙄
I will never understand that. He is rancid.
I don't know how anyone could have ever thought otherwise. The first time I heard him speak I knew he was one of those guys.
I haven’t watched since Christopher Hitchens, his best guest, died in 2011. Maher made his “politically incorrect” bones opposing Bush. Maher said the 9/11 hijackers were not cowards. ABC dropped him & HBO picked him up. It’s time for HBO to have viewers score programming. #ByeByeBillMaher
Just shows how minuscule a role he plays in our lives at all
I know this is rhetorical, but some people actually wonder, so: Some people don't use a lot of media, and/or don't pay attention to commentary (or don't care what most other people say, and are focused on actions.) That's my goal, but I'm not there yet.
Kieth Olbermann knew he was a dipshit in college.
He just got too over the top for me. A man with jokes and rants but no solutions. Just makes things worse. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/04/i-ge...
I dropped him after the Elon interview
I knew right after 9/11 when he said Americans were cowards.
That part.
Because I don't watch his show.
I am so angry at myself for even watching the episode but it was worth seeing Maher’s reaction to Josh Rogan’s take on Maher’s visit to the WH and that Trump simply used him. That was chef’s kiss 😘 because Rogan nailed it .
Bill Maher isn’t a free or deep thinker. He’s a sassy provocateur for clicks and bucks.
Watched a doc that said he doesn't write his own material. Too lazy to do his own work.
Really. Ass kissing 47.
A mystery for the ages
I admit ,after not following him for so many years because he’s a piece of shit , I let my guard down and started watching him again . However….after this last episode I’m so done with him permanently
Bill makes his money by shoveling shit. So there’s that.
Religulous was seminal movie in the growth of my atheism, but he’s been a douche for about 6 years now
he's always been a douche. sometimes his douchery serves a purpose, like helping people break free of religion. but it's how he is. he has no other way to be.
Bill Maher is a “type”. He’s a pretend contrarian so people will notice him. He believes in nothing but himself. Boycott him.
Add to it that Bill has dated more underage girls than Gaetz. He has always been a smug, fame hungry political whore.
Maher is a two faced ratings whore
In my defense. I assumed he had died of covid several years ago.
Once in a while he says something logical and non repulsive... people have short memories. I keep reminding myself that all this chaos from Donald and his gang is exactly what they said they wanted to do back in the Bannon days...tear it down, then sell it ...more 💲 and control for the billionaires.
Wild guess- ‘cause they’re as manifestly stupid as he is.
I wasn’t here for the last time But I know now. He makes Dr Phil look good.
I've been wondering this for 20 fecking YEARS 👀
Probably because he hasn’t been relevant for years and people don’t pay any attention to what he has to say. Then when he says something piece of shitish they’re like “who, oh yeah I remember him, I didn’t realize he was such a piece of shit.”
💯 accurate
Bill Maher in 2020 (!) : "Trump was right about Covid."
It's kind of a tradition. Every generation, it takes a while for some to notice his eminently punchable face and crappy human skills
Don’t know but I did watch & until I saw the recent episode I didn’t realize Steve Bannon was batshit crazy.
Gotdammit that is so true. I feel like he does this shit to try to stay relevant, at least to himself. He thinks he’s an agitator and since no one is watching his show he says stupid shit to get in the newsfeeds. show. The guy lost it years ago, but the fact that people are just now figuring it out
He’s an ass
For my entire memory he's always been. 👎🏼
Zeno’s Maher Paradox
Most of us don't pay for HBO, so he's barely on our radar.
Propagation lag is a defect inherent in the system
Never liked him much. For a short period, I watched him because he was actually inviting both sides into the conversations. Then COVID hit. He and Bari Weiss dusted off their by mail medical degrees and started fat shaming and spewing all kinds of medical information. The man is a whore.
As a physician, he has offended me numerous times by taking a stance against the medical profession’s response to Covid, but never has a physician on his panel. Can’t tell you how many times I used to scream at the TV wanting to slap that bitch! I don’t watch it anymore.
Some people are not in or from your country.
To be fair there are so many people turning out to be pieces of shit that it’s hard to keep track of some of the more unimportant ones.
Now that was a well deserved burn.
Thank you. He is STILL a piece of shit. How tf is this newsworthy?
Yup, he's been a mysoginistic scumbag for quite a while now!!
that IS weird
As the world turns….new ignorance opportunities open up.
He is such a FUCKING HYPOCRITE. He claims to be non religious but has no problem shitting on Muslims. I fucking DESPISE libertarians. They're just republicans who want to smoke free weed and not be punished for saying the n-word.
they are the reason grading on a curve was introduced
Dude has been a pile of crap for at least 20 years. That's his entire schtick.
How do people even still watch him?
It’s the same as how liberal celebrities are still coming out saying they’re going to sell their Tesla because Musk is toxic. Musk has been toxic for years.
To be fair, I completely forgot he existed until yesterday
Talking to the opposition doesn’t make you a piece of shit. Being intolerant of those who do might, though 🤷♂️
He was a piece of shit when he was victim blaming women during the Me Too movement. Stopped watching then. Not intolerant, speaking truth.
I don’t get it. He’s Netanyahu mouthpiece imo
@smerconish.bsky.social thinks he's great.
cuz mostly, he is an irrelevant piece of shit?
I have never understood the appeal.
After Bill Maher’s dinner with Trump I decided to get my thoughts down on someone who I used to admire & enjoy. Those days are over. Please give a read and join the publication. It’s free and (I think) worth your time. substack.com/home/post/p-...
Honestly, I thought we all knew that by now.
100% done with him….👋👋🤮
It's like an onion, or a parfait.
He douses himself in Axe?
“I blame the liberal media.” Honestly. I think that a LOT of people established their belief structure in the mid-to-late 90s & they have not revisited them since.
Those people need to woke up.
I left him when he told us Bernie supporters to fuck off. I thought that was inappropriate.
I guess it’s layers and layers of shit. Sometimes it takes Takes a while to get to the bottom.
My dislike of Bill Maher started around here. Nothing he's done since has made him even remotely likable.
What was that movie Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death?
Yes. He's been shit ever since he was a D list actor in the 90s.
It was his best work, really.
Yep. His schtick got old faster than he did.
They just need to give him a comedy show at FAUX!! That will be just fine for them, and him. They can put him opposite SNL
Plus always the defenders surface as well.
Bill Maher’s got the fascists behind him and backing him. He’s a regular Netinho cheerleader, pro genocide, and all. He’s bitterly aging out -so he joined the fascist to stay relevant.
Earlier in his career he cultivated an aura of an enlightened, independent, secular pundit. Now he's Dennis Miller in a leather loveseat. It has neck support so he doesn't get a headache from sucking politico cock before showtime.
What a perfect description of him. 😁 Don't forget that next to that loveseat is his glass full of bourbon and an ashtray with a gigantic roach still burning away.
I have no problem with his substance use, but it sure seems fucked he now supports a regime hell bent on New Prohibition while puffin' on currently quasi-legal herb, while others suffer in concentration camps for possession.
I don't care about the consumption, either, but the use of either or both is like part of his 'schtick'... and you're absolutely right about the inequality of consequences.
He's doing the whole alpha male "Watch me hold both my liquor AND my smoke, and due to the transitive property of The Bro Code, ef facto, ipsum somesuch, I have ginormous balls. Bow before their combined intellect."
Well that description sums it up nicely. I saw Bill many years ago here in my deep red state and really enjoyed the “newness” of what he was saying. But that has since worn off-maybe flashes of humor here and there. His visit to the White House really helped me get over any interest I once had.
People live in the past too much. There was a time when Maher was funny
I must’ve missed it, cause I’ve never thought he was funny, just an arrogant prick.
You missed it. You've got to go way back, but it's there.
There are also more than a few Maher cult trolls that will jump into your feed to mock you for saying out loud that he’s a piece of shit.
I was no longer a fan after I saw one of his stand-up shows in 2012. He constantly referred to his notes because he said he was working on new material, and anytime one of his jokes didn't land, he got really angry at the crowd. He's a whiny little bitch.
Bill desperately seeks male approval. It might stem he was also rejected by girls in high school and college, being short and all. He has that in common with Elmo, Miller, JD…
Circle of life..?
He WAS funny at one time, but don't try to pin me down on when that was. Before he was an enclave guy who had as many grievances as trump. Most of them self created. But like everything and everyone, the whackier he gets the more people talk about him, and that's money.
EXACTLY
He is just publicly aligning himself to maintain viewers and listeners. The switch is coming. Maralargo has some evil power. Keep watching.
Some people still think trump is a good guy.
And every time someone on the right gets “cancelled” (or faces the natural negative consequences of their words and actions), they threaten to take Bill Maher from the left in retaliation. And every time, we say, “Take him, we don’t want him.”
I burned his book ;)
I dunno. I figured out that he's an arrogant little prick of a hateful troll the first time I watched his show
Chronic amnesia?
He has cultists. I mean fans. Who behave like cultists. Seriously, I once tried to argue with a Maher cultist over at Daily Kos. He told me the only way he'd believe Maher, who is antivaxx and was then, was antivaxx is "if Maher told me so." Sheer nonsense. Maher's a racist sexist dumbass.
I’m probably guilty of that. I’ve watched him for so long and was willing to put up with some of the things he’s said. Visiting Trump was the last straw. I admit I was wrong in supporting his show.
It's always news to me when he shows himself to be a piece of shit, because I keep flushing and forgetting. He's jumped the shark this time though, HBO should replace him.
Solid ‼️
I used to love his stuff, but can't stand him anymore, stopped following/watching him 2,3 years ago. He's turned into a stereotypical white boomer man, his both siding is peculiar AF.
Just because they get out of bed and walk around doesn't prove they're awake.
🤔
Because he never is not being presented as punching above his intellectual weight, but he’s only simping for small audiences at a time.
Bill surprised by tRump’s passivity when he didn’t take Bill’s bait during White House visit. Bill now sees him as a good humored guy 🙄 Reality: tRump had Adderall-induced impulse control for his volatility.
Hadn’t watched his show in quite awhile. Had recently thought I’d start watching again. Now… no. Never again.
They're the same people who just figured out the NYT or WaPo are awful and are canceling their subscriptions. They also do this with SNL, Jon Stewart, etc. My working theory is that they still secretly love all those things and never canceled, never stopped watching. They recycle their "surprise".
Because, like me, we don't take a lot of notice of him? That all we know of him are the clips of his programme where he's being funny?
He is truly a BM.
Like, fr. He has been a straight up not at all funny asshole for 10 years at least. Stopped watching him ages ago. Disgustingly self-indulgent and self-admiring. Like, ick to the nth power. Oh, & he fucked Ann “Why the Long Face” Coulter at a time when she was spewing cruel racist filth every day.
