When it comes to watching Bill Maher’s “Real Time” I usually checkout the guest list first, then set the DVR. I recorded last night’s episode only because I saw MILO was scheduled. Have I watch it yet? Nope, only because my 11 year old is running around the house and I don’t need him hearing me cuss when there’s no football game on. But one segment I always enjoy by Maher is “New Rules” and it appears last night was a goodie – PB/TK
Bill Maher: The magic Republican (R) allows them to get away with anything – By Egberto Willies ·
Bill Maher’s New Rules segment was exceptional this Friday. He called out Trump and the Republicans in general for doing things no Democrat would get away with using examples in the mode of Jon Stewart.

“So a couple of weeks before the Super Bowl,” Maher continued. “Bill O’Reilly asked Trump why he always defended Putin who O’Reilly said was a killer. But again, Trump took Putin’s side over America saying, ‘We’ve got killers here too. You think our country is so innocent?’ If a Democrat said that before the Super Bowl, they would be in Guantanamo Bay by halftime. Same as they would if they did this.”
