**** Bill Maher....thought that needed a thread of it's own

what a smarmy, weasely sell out he is. His criticism of K. Harris holds NO water with anyone as he has no credibility left. Can't stand his ugly assed face. His insecurity overshadows everything he says and does. How far he's fallen. For the record, I supported Harris in 2020 to no avail as well as 2024. I respect her immensely but as a lifelong Dem I'm looking at Pritzker or Shapiro next time around. That said, she's a beacon of morality, hope and intelligence who doesn't deserve being dragged through the mud by a twerp like Maher.

Awww poor you. Bill hit a nerve

I just scanned the headlines over there.  They're reconstructing the situation in Shitcago with laughable spin.  How come you're not talking about what everyone else is talking about?  Namely the sick and twisted Jay Jones.

Damn it! Orange juice really burns when it comes out of your nose.

have you ever considered that maybe you are the problem and not Maher?

This particular DUmp'Rat doesn't have necessary intellectual faculties required for such self reflection.

Sorry, toots, that won't fly for one simple reason. They're both Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos!!!!

It amuses me when DU-grade Progs express their entitlement, their thinking that they own MSM outlets and people.  

Maher merely called out Kammie's narcissistic blame-shifting, her refusal to admit that a majority of voters rejected her and her policies. Facts are Reich-Wing when DUpipo don't like the facts.

I didn't even catch this gem my first time reading through the post. It must be that my brain filtered it out because it was such a stupid statement.

Well, then. That is just too bad.

The responses are classic DU:

20. History will judge. I did not see a great deal of threads here on DU warning us about Biden's age until that moment on

live TV where he just got neurologically absent. Maybe it's just me but I didn't see it coming. Perhaps other DUers did but I never saw threads that warned us of the coming disaster. Did you?

CTyankee was completely ignorant of Biden's cognitive issues?  And she wonders why DU didn't warn her?

81. Such threads would most likely have been hidden.

If not hidden they would have generated avalanches of outrage that most people would rather not deal with.

I'm pretty sure that there were discussions outside of the DU bubble.

61 posts later somebody actually acknowledges that they live in a bubble that ignores and rejects reality.  Numerous DUer's tried to tell the truth about Biden's re-election chances, and their posts were hidden and some of them were banned for telling the truth.  And, of course, some of them still cling to the belief that Biden was sabotaged:

25. Some idiot had him take an Ambien!

I've taken Ambien and it's a hell of a sedative! Talk about slurring words and losing the thread! It's akin to taking phenobarbital.

30. What I heard on a reputable podcast was that he was suffering from severe jetlag and someone had him take an Ambien.

Stupid, stupid, move! My memory of it is you have about 20 min of lucidity before you're fighting off instantaneous deep sleep. It's not good sleep either (no REM) which is why I stopped taking it.

Even the DUmmies question why he would take a sleep aid prior to getting up on stage for the debate.

76. There is no way they gave him an ambien before a debate.

There was an entire narrative amongst the right wing people that they were giving "sleepy Joe" cocaine to amp him up. They didn't give him ambien.

The entire jetlag story is suspect. I remember him being hunkered down in DE to prepare. Maybe it was MA. Either way, it is potently stupid to pop an ambien before a debate and the President shouldn't have taken it. He should've been informed enough not to take a sleeping pill to combat his perceived sleepiness.

Ambien also tends to cause disinhibition. Something along the lines of 2-3 (or 7) drinks. Biden was not disinhibited, he was vacant.

Edit -- It was Hunter that alleged the ambien. He is not exactly a reliable source.

And they also, finally, got over the jet lag excuse:

89. He spent six days at Camp David prior to the debate - that should have been enough time to get over jetlag.

mr715 (2,068 posts)
90. The jetlag excuse was BS

The Trump people were all about lowering expectations for Trump bc Biden was resting and doing debate prep for a week. A week.

Biden was not jetlagged.

They are dangerously close to acknowledging that Biden and Harris were a horrible choice for our nation.

Which one? He had many.

DU, like the Dems and their MSM-shills, were in aggressive denial, even after that debate debacle.

Somebody is risking granite pizza delivery by committing truth. That last sentence, though, would only have been true, maybe, in ultra-private talk among Progs.

  ihaveaquestion is snorkeling in Lake Nasser. ihaveaquestion also appears to have, "taken the reds, man."

Meanwhile Rs and conservatives were pointing out the signs of LIEden's mental awareness problem in 2019 or 2020, during his basement campaign. I'll admit being skeptical of those claims, and it turns out that they were correct (and I was excessively cautious).
