  1. Old man doesn’t understand kids and can’t figure out why they won’t get off his lawn.

    Details at 11.

  3. How to admit you’re sexist without saying the words out loud.

  4. What she wrote wasn’t particularly aimed at any gender. She was eloquent, and simply stated what she saw as steady, capable leadership skills in Kamala. I’m no Swiftie in that I wouldn’t fly to another state or country, or pay $500 to see her in concert, and I don’t fine all of her music to my taste; but I can respect her acumen and talent, and I can acknowledge thought that’s gone into a pragmatic message that appeals to a reasoned view of politics. 

    You only have to be a reasonable person, disinterested in racism, bigotry and malevolence to see her point. Many people I know across political persuasions would be able to see her post as entirely sound. She didn’t even tell you whom to vote for; just that you pay attention and vote. If that’s alarming, we’re not really a very mature democracy at all.

  5. “Bill Maher is dumb” – headline could have just stopped there.

  6. Could’ve shaved the last 166 characters from that headline.

  8. Bill Maher never had the chops. He must be chin nutting some HBO exec.

  11. He’s so out of touch. I used to be a big fan of Bill Maher. Unfortunately, over the years, his opinion has turned into nothing but hogwash. Now as he ages, he is even more upset with kids, not understanding what life is all about. everybody has their day, I guess now it’s just not his time

  12. A large amount of her songs, especially over the last few albums, can easily be gender swapped and be as meaningful to her male fans as they are her female ones. I don’t know why people are surprised that women aren’t the only ones listening to her.

  13. This is wonderful evidence that some men are trying to not be monsters and are using TS as a gauge

  14. Not that her endorsement changed my mind, but I’m a 40-something male and a full on Swiftie. It’s so weird how people think all of Swifts fans are teenage girls. She makes good music, and most people secure in who they are aren’t afraid to like what they like.

  15. How is he dumbfounded by it? He literally calls it a cult at one point. And being a swiftie is a cult at this point.

  17. Bill Maher has never been as smart as he tells you he is.

  18. He’s such a contrarian. It is an incredibly tired act.

  19. It’s okay Bill, it’s just called getting older.

  20. Wow he only just now figured out that he is old? I know he stayed 22 years old mentally, but I figured he knew that he did actually age to 68.

  21. Fuck Bill Maher and while we’re at it fuck Dr. phil too, just because

  22. Bill Maher is wildly out of touch. That’s not new

  23. BURR feel so out touch like he sound like my grand pa but trying to sound cool IT SO ANNOYING

  26. Lmao “I must have this phenomenon gauged all wrong” is just a summary of Bill Maher

  28. I stopped watching Bill Maher years ago. I think I let many of the people go who helped demonize Hillary Clinton and helped Trump win. That FBI director who made a statement 11 days before Election Day… it disgusted me to my core. And that Jill Stein taking 1% away from Hillary in the swing states. The Young Turks. All of them I’ll never forget.

  29. Who cares what Bill Mayer thinks. He’s so full of himself.

  32. It says a lot that Taylor Swift, who is a legitimately successful artist (which is an understatement) and business person still needs to overcome some sort of mental vetting process in order to be taken as seriously as, say, John Legend speaking about Ohio.

  34. Yeah. An attractive women has never had any influence on men. Never ever.

  36. Can we make this dipshit dinosaur go away? Years of being anti-vax and anti-science while trying to pretend he’s pro-science is just disgusting, especially after a pandemic.

  37. BM is a turd with shoes. What he doesn’t know could fill the grand canyon.

  38. I’m from the UK so don’t get much coverage on this guy, but he seems like a very strange, twisted and bitter old sad act.

  40. And that’s when bill maher learned that men have wives, girlfriends, daughters, and mothers. Or, ya know, that music appeals to people across genders. Fuckin twat.
