I used to really like Bill Maher but he has become more and more of a dick over the years. He was great during the George W Bush era. I remember going out of my way to post his new rules segment on Friday nights here a million years ago. He became an uncritical fanboy of Obama during his years then pushed conspiracies about Russia through the Trump era. Putin has done a lot of horrible things like blatantly rig every election he's in and he bombed civilian apartment buildings in Russia then blamed it on Chechnya to start a war with them then installed a fascist strong man there as a proxy. There is no no need to make stuff up about Putin, there are plenty of proven examples of him being a massively corrupt shitty human being on his own. one ongoing example of Bill Maher doing this is look at his discourse with CIA propagandist Malcolm Nance over the past years. He verbally fellates him in his interviews pushing for the US to overthrow countries around the world. A huge difference from when he fought so hard against the Iraq war. Anyway that's my rant :)
