Bill Maher: ‘I’ve Been Hoping for a Recession’ to Get Rid of Trump

82

That the poor may suffer because this crackpot didn’t get his way. Typical limousine liberal. That we may not work, wait for the light, go without the meat, curse the bread because this thumbsucking kook refuses to accept free and fair elections.

The irony in all this is the economy has never been stronger thanks in whole part to President Trump.

Bill Maher: ‘I’ve Been Hoping for a Recession’ to Get Rid of Trump

By Rick Moran, PJM,  August 3, 2019

It’s amazing what liberals daydream about. While many of us might imagine wealth, fame, or attractive women (sorry, Zsu-Zsu) Bill Maher dreams of a recession that would lead to massive job losses and foreclosed homes.

Maher: “I’ve been hoping for a recession – people hate me for it – but it would get rid of Trump.”

Josh Barro: “Recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and homes and we shouldn’t wish for it.”

Maher: “I know. It’s worth it.”

Actually, it’s only “worth it” if Maher loses his job

Maher also says he agrees with New Age Democratic candidate Marianne Williamson “about everything.

Daily Beast:

In the days after she became the  most-Googled candidate at the first of two Democratic primary debates this week, Marianne Williamson faced sharp scrutiny on her past statements about vaccines and mental health during combative interviews with  MSNBC’s Ari Melber and  CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

On Friday night, she found herself in the warm embrace of HBO’s Bill Maher.

Maher went on to praise his guest for “going to the root of things” instead of only focusing on the “surface” like her Democratic competitors. “You and I are simpatico on health,” he told her. “What you say is what I’ve always said.”

When Maher brought up mental health, it seemed for a moment like he might take Williamson to task for her claims that antidepressants do nothing more than “numb” people’s pain. But no, instead he said, “I’m with you on this.”

Suggesting that The New York Times has tried to frame her as a “crazy lady,” Maher declared, “I agree with everything.” Noting that she has “criticized the widespread use of antidepressants,” he said, “I’m down with that!” And on the claim that she “called the distinction between ordinary sadness and clinical depression ‘artificial,’” Maher said he believes she has been mischaracterized.

“Sadness is a part of life!” Maher added. “You don’t always need a pill for sadness.”

For the record, a clinical diagnosis of depression involves a helluva lot more than being sad. That is truly idiotic. There are specific changes in the body, as well as brain chemistry that points to a possible diagnosis of depression. When those symptoms are present, a trained clinician would make the determination of whether a patient is depressed or merely “sad.”

Maher is pretty much a kook himself. Wishing for tragedy to strike innocent people in order to achieve a political goal is positively Hitlerian. Hitler made no bones about his desire in 1932 for an economic catastrophe to strike Germany and give him a shot at defeating the incumbent President Paul von Hindenburg.

Nice company you’re keeping., Bill.

Maybe Williamson could name Maher her vice presidential running mate. He’d certainly keep us all entertained.

Maher is a flaming reprobate who doesn’t hate just President Trump.. He hates God, the people of God and the martyrs (NOT Muslim!) who followed God to their deaths in foreign lands under jackboots and shariah law. There is a banana peel waiting for him someday, somewhere and when he falls, he won’t get up!

I do not believe they love this country at all. Oh you have a few. Tom Selleck, Clint Eastwood and several others. I talked to Eastwood many years ago at his restaurant The Hogs Breath Inn. He told me there were more conservatives than I would believe in Hollywood but they had to hid their politics. I understood later it was people like Eastwood and Selleck that had become so big they could produce and make their own movies is why they could speak up.

Most have nothing against the Religion of Atheism. Personally, I only take exception with their evangelists. They’re not like the Mormon or Jehovah Witnesses evangelists. Those two are always polite and are simply trying to tell their story. On the other hand, the Religion of Atheism’s evangelists refuse to take no for an answer. Typically, they are exceedingly rude, and as pompous as June 21st in the Arctic Circle is long.

If you’ll notice the atheists never stand up to the f’ing muslums like they did Christians. The atheists crowed their victories over eliminating Christianity from public schools and the public sphere in general but they can’t bend over fast enough for the f’ing muslums. At least the atheists of Bangladesh had some balls, even if they don’t anymore (because so many of them have been killed by f’ing muslums there).

Those are what I call, CINOs (Christian in Name Only). The Book of Revelation talks about those kind of people, those who profess to be wise and righteous, but who are NOT and God will leave them behind. God judges the INDIVIDUAL, not the group. THERE ARE NO BAPTISTS, PENECOSTALS, LUTHERANS, CATHOLICS, PRESBYTERIANS, MORMONS, MONKS, MUSLIMS, etc. IN HEAVEN, fool.

There are only BORN-AGAIN, WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST righteous people. Understand, yet?

In order to watch STARZ and other PREMIUM channels, you are stuck with HBO, which has some really icky slimey shows that show how morally bankrupt America has become. Maher is a morally bankrupt man. He is getting older and I will bet you that he will either re-evaluate his life as his friends and family start dying out or he will turn more demonic in his rantings and nature.

GET RID OF CABLE/SATELLITE. SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY!
I use an OTA antenna for local channels and subscribe to what I want to watch thru ROKU, such as HULU, OANN, and that’s about it. I hate paying for something I will never watch JUST BECAUSE it is part of a package. And, you can download just about anything via a VPN and specific websites.

Bill, your recession isn’t going to happen. Trump is far too clever and several times smarter than Bush and his entire crew back in 2008. The Fed is putty in the hands of Trump, and he plays them like a finely-tuned piano. Powell drops rates a notch, Trump jumps on him, “Not far enough!,” then checkmates him by imposing tariffs on China which will cause the Fed to drop rates even further at their next meeting, and further once or twice again before the election. The economy and stock market continue to boom. We have never had a President who is as brilliant.,cunning and clever as Trump. Trump is a national treasure.

Bill Maher is one of a few people I loath. I caught some of his comments by chance several years ago and looked into this sorry excuse for a human a little more. He did a special to supposedly investigate religion which he hates. His hate I believe is driven by the fact he is a demon from Hell! He is an example of one that the Lord God “has given over to a reprobate mind” I am not a zealot nor am I the most pious for that matter. Bill Maher if you will take time to look at his word and deeds is a demon from the pits of hell. They do exist.
