From Real Time With Bill Maher

Just a few points about what they were talking about here and then I’ll save you from hearing everything else that I think and know, for now.

As far as Hunter Biden, Bill Maher made the best point here. Actually, he made two great points. Maher said that there is one party that not only believes in the rule of law, but believes in it more than the other party.

Going back to the 1960s, at least, it’s the Republican Party that’s been stereotyped as the tough, law and order, rule of law party. But then the right-wing cult hero of right-wing cult heroes, took over what used to be the Grand Ole Party and what I at least would even argue use to be the Republican Party, in 2016 and is now just Donald Trump’s MAGA Party, where their policy when it comes to the rule of law is: “It’s not illegal when we do it. It’s only illegal when Democrats and real Republicans who oppose us, do it.”

John Avlon made an excellent point about that as well, where he said the indictment of Hunter Biden (whose just happens to be President Joe Biden’s son) proves that we have the rule of law in America. We have a Democratic President and a Democratic run Department of Justice, that just indicted Hunter Biden on tax evasion and having illegal possession of firearms. And he looks pretty guilty on both counts and was even willing to plead guilty this summer, in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Bill Maher went onto say how these MAGA members (not real Republicans) are now comparing Hunter Biden with Donald Trump. With Maher making the quick comeback (and I’m paraphrasing) that you don’t see mainstream Democrats defending Hunter Biden, or Senator Bob Menendez, for that matter and he’s not the Democrat’s hero.

As far as Vivek Ramaswamy, this is the first and hopefully the only time that I talk about him ever, at least until he grows up and perhaps takes and passes a course in social studies, as well as government and politics.

I think the only thing that explains his so-called presidential campaign (which is really just a poorly managed spinoff to Donald Trump’s hit reality TV show Who Wants To Be President?) is that he’s campaigning to be Donald Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee. He’s basically telling DJT: “I’m a bigger dick than you, even, and I know even less about government and public policy, than you, even. You have to pick me because we would be perfect together.” And we’ll see if that campaign works or not.
