Are these fucktards actually praising Trump and giving him credit for his great big peace deal.

Sorkin is seriously hot..

R6. He just said Trump is a fabulous communicator. Still think he's hot?

"The New York Post are fucking liars"-------Maher.

R8 = I sure do. And he's right. Trump communicates to the MAGA Hillbillies and gets them to the polls on Election Day.

Of course you’re right, R11. We have to give the (literal) devil his due. He’s the deplorable whisperer.

Sorkin is a liberal New York Democrat. He wasn't "praising" Trump. He also ridiculed Arnoolds stupid "Dems and GOP should work together" bullshit.

R5, even John Heilemann, whose anti-Trump bona fides have never been in dispute, said on his podcast that one is truly suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome if one cannot acknowledge what he has accomplished in getting both a ceasefire in Gaza & the release of hostages. And lest my anti-Trump bona fides come into question, please note I have canceled those who have used that characterization to tar Trump critics.

Arnold seems out of touch with the reality of national politics today.

R6 just Googled Sorkin.... you arent wrong, my god he is sexy as fuck

Unfortunately he's straight

Sorkin hot? He looks like Bryan Kohberger and Pee Wee Herman had a baby.

My god his guests sounds horribly boring.

FYI = Real Time airs on Saturday Nights on CNN.

Maher has lost his edge. A once interesting political commentator, he has become just another broke dick.

by Anonymousreply 20October 18, 2025 11:31 PM

And again, no female guests. I side with Katie Porter.

I vacillate between “hate watching” and watching for some enjoyment. But Maher is pretty uneven in the quality of his monologues and New Rules segments. Some are funnier, sharper and more incisive than others. At his worst, he can be a real smirking jerk. But he does land some very clever jokes and I do agree when he calls out idealists and zealots (both parties).

R12 = Trump gets his voters out on Election Day. The only reason JD Vance won was because Trump endorsed him. The same way Bernie Moreno won---and Moreno had a ton of baggage.

I assume you're talking about their primary wins. Once they were the nominees, their elections were guaranteed in the ruby red Ohio.

by Anonymousreply 24October 19, 2025 12:58 AM

R24 = Correct. But JD Vance almost lost. Josh Mandel was poised to win until the Trump endorsement. It was a surprise because Mandal was a true MAGA republican and Vance had been poised as a "Hollywood" type who had insulted Trump in 2016 interviews. Trump had hinted he wasn't going to endorse anyone in the primary, and true to form, he changed his mind for no reason at all.
