Bill Maher Goes Off On Neil deGrasse Tyson

[Mr. Friscus]

Ok… but the OP and many in this thread are dogging on Tyson for being woke and taking that position. Is that what you saw as well? Him expressing a woke opinion?

It’s like if a historian made an argument for why Hitler was a good person, and Tyson danced and even gave a reason why it might be true.

 

[Slade3200]

Nope. He just chose to be obtuse towards what Maher was saying.

Meanwhile, what Maher said is the truth.

You don’t really know what the truth is because you didn’t read the article he was picking apart. You may agree with his analysis if a snippet he read but that doesn’t mean his entire argument was based in truth.

I think Neal was smart smooth to not take the bait. He spoke to what he knew.

No it’s not like that at all. Care to respond to my last response to you. About the co text of “inequality” that it sounds to me like you misinterpreted

the article clearly claimed that men and women were not physically different that the disparity was not because of that.

Did you read the article?

You don't get to claim they didn't say what they clearly said no matter how you spin it.

 

[Slade3200]

You don't get to claim they didn't say what they clearly said no matter how you spin it.

That’s a no, you didn’t read the article so you are speaking from a place of ignorance. And you’re taking the sentence out of context. Big surprise. Go educate yourself before you continue to pass judgement and make an ass out of yourself

What are you even copy-pasting?

The CRA forced banks to take loans from low-income areas based on the ideology that “everyone deserves a home” (a whimsical, but harmful slogan)

Except those aren't the loans that failed. That's the thing. They represented very small parts of most banks' portfolios. Man, you are dense.

The problem was that all these McMansions that middle class folks were buying, which were overvalued. The banks in turn inflated the value of these mortgages, and sold them as investments.

The CRA loans, often for modest dwellings, weren't even part of the calculation.


I know, what a dangerous idea.. everyone should have a home.

Or everyone should have enough to eat.

or everyone should have access to decent health care.

**** Off and Die.

Nobody said there’s not blame in the banks, but Clinton created pressure on the banks. Free market banks would have never taken those loans on.

No, free markets are what caused the problem, because no one was watching what they were doing. Had Chris Cox and his regulators been doing due diligence instead of watching Porn, someone would have raised the alarm a lot earlier.

It’s one of the many examples of democrat policy being good in intention but harmful in practice. And.. plenty of people could point to how the CRA would be harmful in this manner, but the Democrats stuck to the emotional appeal and made us all find out the hard way..

Just a lack of wisdom from your party

Again, you need to stop listening to hate radio.


The Greed of the Banksters was the problem. And not a one of them went to prison. More's the pity.

 

[JoeB131]

Nobody believes you were ever a Republican. People don't tend to lose wisdom with age.

Actually, that would be proof I did.

Eventually, I learned compassion and stopped being fooled by Hucksters like Rush.

(The sad thing about being an atheist is knowing that fat **** isn't burning in hell because there's no afterlife.)

 

[HikerGuy83]

Or maybe they hired someone who isn't a screaming transphobe like you are.

People on your side believe in talking snakes, I don't think you have much room to talk.

Like you ? Hardly.

You are a partisan butthurt moron.

Maher is pretty fed up with the morons on the left.....like you.

 

[JoeB131]

Wait, believing in gender equality is just like being Hitler?

Maher has always been a self-serving weasel... it's easy to complain about shit, it's harder to find solutions.

And you've always been one to attack those you don't agree with or who hurt your narrative.

BTW: All you've been doing is bitching since you lost.

No, just pointing out the obvious.

When we get into actual policies, I'll point out the foolishness of them.

Now I'm just laughing about how clownish Trump's appointment are...

LOL the article is clear on what they are saying and your spin doesn't change it.

Interesting. What do you think the article is clearly about?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Maher is good friends with Ben Shapiro

A wonderful example of the political games our media and entertainers play as they suck on the money teet.

You know Maher has called Trump a fascist many times right? How do you think Shapiro reacts to that?

Shapiro didn’t like him at first either. Their debates on that matter are quite entertaining. If you watch/listen your question would be answered. Got it?

 

[Couchpotato]

The post office became inefficient because DeJoy tried to privatize it.

It always amazes me no matter what Trump and his lackies **** up, it's always someone else's fault.

Now, I'm sure Trump will try to fire people he doesn't like, and every last one of them will sue and most of them will probably win.

The Post office was efficient until Trump took office?
