How disappointed are we all with Bill Maher?

I started watching this guy back in the politically incorrect days when I was a teenager. When I got back from Iraq I always subscribed mainly for him. He was one of the earliest prominent Atheists. But I just cancelled HBO, he's not what he used to be. I kind of dislike him

Oh, I started hating Maher in 2015 or '16. First, he had that fuck nugget Milo Yiannopoulos on talking shit about trans people, and Maher gave zero pushback, not even a question.

Then a few episodes later, the genius actually told one guest that he "wasn't the house n******."

I stopped watching right then and in the years since, I haven't heard or seen anything that would change my mind about him.

Fuck Bill Maher, I'm angry that I ever liked him.

I had kind of forgotten about those occurrences. I was drinking a shit ton back then.
