Bill Maher Slams Kamala Harris For Opposing Trump's Iran War: 'I See So Much Happiness'
The "Real Time" host on Friday endorsed President Donald Trump's deadly campaign in Iran and mocked Harris for opposing it.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher continued to paint himself as a progressive critic of President Donald Trump while also taking a swipe at former Vice President Kamala Harris for criticizing the Iran war — admitting on Friday that he doesn’t “hate it.”

“Also, this week, war,” said Maher. “Did you hear about that thing? We bombed Iran and it’s going on. Now, if you expect me to say I hate it, I don’t. Sorry! When he puts boots on the ground, yeah, then I’ll hate it. Now, I know too many happy Iranian Americans, sorry.”
...
“I mean, Kamala Harris made a statement, she said, ‘This is a war the American people don’t want,’” Maher continued. “And who knows more about what the American people don’t want?”
...
“I just don’t get what liberals don’t get about liberation,” said Maher. “I see so much happiness. I see it in Venezuela, I see it here in Iran. Could we skip the part where we talk about, ‘Oh, they had so many different reasons for going to war,’ ‘regime change’ and ‘we gotta get rid of the nukes’ and ‘they were supporters of terrorism.’”

[City Lights]

1. Maher is trash.

He loves the sound of his own voice and thinks he's so much smarter than everyone around him. So glad I stopped watching him years ago.

[Ocelot II]

2. Bill Maher can fuck right off, real hard.

[FalloutShelter]

12. This!

Not our friend.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Glad to see Maher is gung ho about something besides himself.

He should volunteer for military service. Certainly would make me so happy.

[Ritabert]

4. Haven't watched him in years.

He's a bloviating windbag.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. "I know too many happy Iranians"

Yeah sure Bill, do you? Or do you actually know zero Iranians. I'm betting zero.

[kwolf68]

6. He's a clown

Number 1---the war is not legal and it's not constitutional.

Number 2--how will be any different than Iraq was? How did that "regime change" work out?

Number 3--why are we not changing the countless other regimes that are brutal? why iran only?

Number 4--Why does the USA have to do this shit? Why isn't any other nation other than two gangster states like US and Israel the only ones doing this?

Number 5--Everyone is happy in Iran? How about the families of those dead girls. Are they happy?

[AloeVera]

13. His super-wealthy Iranian friends ARE happy.

Of course they are.

[mr715]

34. He has no friends not on payroll.

[Ziggy Beans]

40. He's talking about American Iranians, which is even more ridiculous

None of those people are getting bombed daily, and I'm sure none of them will be "happy" when their family members that still live in Iran suffer a horrific and terrifying death or injury

[Traildogbob]

7. So I have

To believe Maher like Lindsay Graham has a visit with Trump and is shown videos of him having sex with little boys then he instantly becomes MAGA.
Both never married? Coincidence? Just saying.
Fuck you Maher, how many war’s did he serve in?
So sick of rich people that never loose a bead of sweat in the wars they cheer on so much.

[Prairie Gates]

8. Fuck Bill Maher

[k55f5r]

37. Not with my dick.

[Johonny]

9. In the real world, Venezuela is a shit show right now

But he and the media aren't covering it, so I guess it isnt happening. Iran is absolutely not been liberated. Indeed, they've lost a huge amounts of energy infrastructure, utilities, and children. Meanwhile, both countries still run by the same people.

Indeed, in both countries he listed, they're run by the same people we were told by Bill they were liberated from.

Maher is a low information hater. Clearly this fuck face never served, doesn't care, and dare I say, has a problem with liberalism. Bill Maher is not a smart person anymore. He is an ideologue and low information hater. Fuck him and his opinion. And Bill if you loved free speech, why can't women have opinion different than you? Particularly when they're better educated, better informed, and not smelling Trump farts?

[Happy Hoosier]

10. As long as it's just Iranian school girls getting getting killed...

He doesn't hate it. What a putz.

[BigmanPigman]

11. In 2017 he put Roseanne down for her opinions about tRump

Now he needs to look in a mirror. He's not funny any more, only greedy and mean.

[Initech]

14. Fuck Trump and fuck his bullshit war!

[hlthe2b]

15. He just continues to "get worse & worse..." I was done with his show several years ago...

But it is hard to ignore all the write-ups and discussion online and elsewhere.

So, there is just his thought.. SCREW OFF, MAHER. Done.

[QueerDuck]

16. Dennis Miller 2.0

[mopinko]

17. i wont b surprised when we find him in the files.

[Reader Rabbit]

18. Maher is--and always has been--a misogynist.

So this is not surprising.

[BannonsLiver]

19. He's MAGA lite now, just like his fans.

[SocialDemocrat61]

23. Be careful

You may upset them again. I even have one stalking me through old threads.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. Who gives a shit what this idiot thinks?

Maher ceased being funny a long time ago.

[videohead5]

21. Fuck you Bill Maher

Sideways with a cactus.

[Quiet Em]

22. Maher is going to find himself in the same predicament as Dershowitz

Everywhere he goes he will be shunned, ignored, given the side-eye

[poli-junkie]

24. Obsequious little dweeb,

trying to get back on TSF’s good side.

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. Screw you Bill

On your gratuitous swipe at VP Harris. She's worth more than both of you put together.

It must be painful pulling all that shit out of your ass.

[UpInArms]

26. Maher is a pig

And someone needs to take his microphone away

[Kingofalldems]

27. I definitely consider any post promoting his show to be right wing talking points.

[Klarkashton]

28. Kind of a guy that thinks if you force the "American Way" on another country by bombing them it's all good from now on.

A half ass comedian with no basis in reality.

[maptap22]

29. Maybe because we fucking murdered over 150 little girls????

He is a smug son of a bitch!

[BannonsLiver]

31. Bill is a proud islamaphobe so the strike on the girls school probably got him off.

[Hassler]

30. Sounds like Maher is trying to convince

His new boss not to fire him. Doesn't Paramount now own HBO?

[Ferrets are Cool]

32. Bottom line...if ya can kill and mutilate children and women from far away, I'm all for it...

Fuck You Bill.

[GiqueCee]

33. Maher is...

... the obnoxious embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. As they say in Texas, "All hat, no cattle". And other pithy pejoratives appropriate for such occasions.

[mcar]

35. Fck this guy

[Red Mountain]

36. What regime change?

Venezuela is run by the former vice president. Iran is ruled by the same people.

Maher just picks out a person he hates and opposes whatever they said recently.

It's his shtick. Trumps, too. Birds of a feather.

It's not funny or witty and certainly no way to run a fucking government.

[La Coliniere]

38. I question my so-called "liberal" friends who still look forward

to his Friday night forums. I used to also, until the Covid lockdown when he came back on air, mean, accusatory, uninformed, and a complete blowhard. That was it. Haven’t watched in a few years and I don’t plan going back, ever. One of the last things I heard him say during the last show I watched was that “education sucks”. Can’t stand his voice or his superior effing attitude.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

39. wow it's so great to hear other perspectives!!!!

/s

[Crunchy Frog]

41. Bill who? n/t

[LR3]

42. He's an asshole

and yet some people here continue to promote his show.

[SocialDemocrat61]

44. Yes but all celebrities have their minions

[BootinUp]

43. It's a good thing I don't let Maher do my thinking. Nt

[TBF]

45. I see he's still a comedian ...

and a wealthy one who is most likely profiting off the war mongering with his stock holdings.
