My problem with Tomi Lahren is that everything she reports on just kind of feels like a half-assed Facebook rant, like when someone who only reads headlines tries to write out a full argument, and then she gets condescending with it.

But you would still "fuck the stupid out of her" though, right?

It did appear that way on last nights show that she did her homework and had her catch phrase talking points ready. But in fairness, most people are like this as it's a reason I rarely argue politics anymore. There is nothing more annoying when someone I talk to at work was watching MSNBC or listening to Limbaugh the day before, and they are just regurgitating whatever they heard without any thought that goes beyond that.

In saying that, Tomi Lahren is hot so she gets a pass from me!

Watching Bill stick it to the Patriots was fun.

She looked lost without her teleprompter, but damned if she isn't hot as hell.

Bill is so flustered with all the Trump news he forgets to introduce the panel and barely gets 10 minutes of discussion with them due to the first segment going long. Tomi looked like she had plenty to say in subjects but didn't get a chance to.

That was pretty embarrassing once Maher realized it, as that's why I say these comedians on late night shows need to get their shit together.

Trump is going to be President for the next 4 years, so they have to stop the mass hysteria on EVERYTHING. Because when there is something that truly merits mass hysteria, he will only be preaching to the choir at that point.

Yes, that's very important, not that millions listen, and believe, her drivel every day.

Re: Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - Series Discussion Thread

Anyone notice the obnoxious red lighting on the set is now blue? Aside from the political implication, I do think the blue lighting is more subdued.

As for Lahren, meh. Physically, she's a typical Southern California blonde with WAY too much makeup. Never been my type. As for her words and thoughts, she was incoherent at best. I would have liked for Maher to hit back at her a little more. Especially when she barked out "Biden Rule!" like a Pavlog's dog when Maher mentioned Merrick Garland. The simple comeback to that should have been, "Oh, so now you think we should heed all laws and policies of the Obama/Biden administration? Good."

Too bad, she was really interested in meeting a "DVD Talk Gold Edition."

Yes she did that, but that is the way most political discussions go on these shows as everyone has their 'talking points' and nothing more after that. Maher does that all the time just bringing up subjects and touching on the obvious about them when there is much more that can be discussed about it. All Michael Eric Dyson does when he is on the show is present every thought he has like a sermon with talking points and gets a standing ovation from the crowd despite the fact that there was no substance to it.

Actually, she doesn't have that much makeup on in those pictures above and she is naturally cute. She may had a lot of makeup on last night, but there are going to do that for anyone on TV.

I don't want you to think I am defending her as some scholar but she is no different then most guests who go on these shows with the exception of a few. They have their talking points, they can't really expound on the issues past that, and do enough to get by without anyone really challenging them.

What does objectifying her looks have anything to do with the drivel she spews?

There's always going to be nut jobs out there that the crazy preppers listen to, but Alex Jones doesn't give me a chub like this one.

I thought Jim Jefferies and Piers Morgan were seriously gonna scrap. I think Maher kind of grabbed Jim's arm at one point. Pretty good stuff on live TV.

Bill should have scrapped the New Rules segment and let them continue to go at it. Jefferies was getting really fired up before they were forced to quiet down for New Rules.

God, Piers is such a piece of shit. I liked Jefferies before, but I like him even more now after calling out Morgan's on his shittiness.

I never liked Piers Morgan, nor did I vote for Trump, but it's about time someone called out people for the Trump hysteria. He proved his point when they pretty much started insulting him for just defending Trump on certain issues, starting with Jeffries saying, "That's why you got fired from CNN...."

His whole point was if you get hysterical on EVERYTHING he says, then when he actually does something truly hysterical, nobody is going to notice. He was right in that Maher and the liberals called out Trump for his remarks to Bill O'Reilly essentially saying it isn't just Putin with blood on his hands as our previous leaders aren't innocent. Maher and the liberals called Bush and Cheney a war criminal for years and years after the Iraq War, and that is exactly what Trump meant, yet they continued with their Trump hysteria!
