Per Russian media, “Russian sources expect that as well as purchasing Russian oil and diesel, Donald Trump will provide Russia with spare parts to repair the refineries damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes. They anticipate that Trump's fuel deal will lead to a Russian victory.”

Pope Leo XIV sent a letter blessing his favorite baseball team before the Chicago White Sox brought the smoke in a playoffs-opening win over the Houston Astros. “I willingly invoke the Almighty’s abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones,” he wrote.

Violent patriarchy. The leveraging of Lindsay Clancy’s story to demonize all women is violent patriarchy. Society’s silence on the scores of women who die at the hands of men while hyper focusing on the actions of this one woman is violent patriarchy. We have to call that out. 5/5

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

Dave Conte, responding to JCO mocking the idea that Real Time is "one of the best tv shows": Oh Lord. Out of touch on this one. Obama, Clinton, even Trump all watch his show. It’s not so much Maher himself but the way the show brings Dems and Repubs together to talk/debate intelligently and civilly. Again, 41 Emmy nominations. You should try giving it a watch. You might be surprised. 

JCO: yes, I have seen Bill Maher but don't recognize much of what you say here.  "talk/debate intelligently & civilly"---really?  I must have missed this.
his entire attitude toward "woke" is superficial, predicable, & unexamined; he seems scarcely to comprehend out of what extremities & desperation "woke" arose initially, & confuses the annoying pieties & cringe-worthy foolishness of peak woke with the actual/literal/killing policies & actions of the anti-woke MAGA reactionaries.   it's like equating an edgy Pogo cartoon with the KKK lynching civil rights activists in the 1960's. yes: they really did kill people! really, Bill.

you have to have a granite heart & head even to pretend that the two are in any way "equivalent" & that your reasoned position is to hover between the two like the Biblical Solomon.
