In addition to throwing a barbed wire, the HBO star in real time with Bill Maher had something in common with Trump. A Montana rally Thursday: Maher urged the public to vote, although he pulls for Democrats, not against them.
The comedian tackled many topics familiar to viewers in "real time", with more time to elaborate in a 65-minute stand-up show. Here are some of his likes and dislikes of a politically biting performance that seemed as much an effort to awaken and arouse viewers as to make them laugh:
Liberal Maher, born in New York and living in Los Angeles , kiss the heart, where he plays frequently.
"I adore the red states," he told the Tulsa crowd. "Reasonable liberals and media miss me so much."

He despises Trump
Maher, whose long-time criticism of Trump includes suggesting descending from an orang-utan, acknowledged unimpressive presidential predecessors, but said, the one who was so aggressively stupid, prides himself on not having any information in his head. He offered a vulgar suggestion about how Sean Hannity, the host of Fox News, could provide information to the president.
Maher is not very happy with Trump's Republican supporters. no more. "It's not just the clown, it's the circus … Donald Trump could not be where he is without all these facilitators."
Surprisingly, he has a weakness for vice -President Mike Pence – but only because it's not Trump.
the stimulants that put me under the skin, the one I hate the most is Mike Pence. He whitens all Donald Trump's mud because he looks so Christian, "said Maher, slipping into a Southern accent for the last word.
But" when people say that Mike Pence would be worse, I implore you to reconsider that. Mike Pence is the kind of disgusting Christian hypocrite who, if I did not already hate religion, I would start. But Mike Pence is not trying to become a dictator. … He can name the three branches of government. He is in the normal Republican terrible setting.

He does not like how Trump turned immigration into such a big political problem.
"We do not even have a problem with immigration, a problem of my life, which did not happen, I did not want to, I did not want me to blame the others, the biggest con that Republicans have ever attracted on working-clbad Americans, it was to convince them were immigrants and single mothers (who) were blocking their way to the American dream. "[19659008] Maher likes to tell jokes about masturbation but he does not like or understand the stories of fallen Hollywood powers accused of masturbating in front of women.
"As a comedian, I have been talking about masturbation on stage for a long time.Last year, for the first time in my life, when I talk about this subject, I have to Spell: I was alone.I always badumed that everyone knew that masturbation meant that you were alone … I had the habit of saying that I do not understand women I do not understand men. "
However, it is fortunate that dishonored men get their reward and that the Me Too movement has achieved results.
"I hope that women will know that there are many men who are very happy for you, that this calculation has finally taken place and that your lives will always be better. For that, I've always hated bullies (and) badual harbadment is a particularly heinous kind of intimidation, "he said. "Every man is warned.You play with five faults."
The blunt Maher, whose invitation in 2014 to the University of California at Berkeley, has met with accusations of Religious sectarianism by the students and an effort to cancel the invitation ("Because they have wind I could talk freely"), do not like what he considers as a liberal politicization, especially on college campuses.
"The people of the world, it's funny, can not win, we have to laugh, and the snowflakes continue to want to move the goalposts over what can be funny," he said. he says. "When I was younger, we never had terms like micro-aggression, safe spaces and trigger warnings … When did everyone become so fragile?" [19659008] Of course, Maher's campaign advice to focus on economic and not social and cultural arguments, in his brutal signature style, was likely to alienate some of the same Democrats he was encouraging to vote for.
"Democrats, we just have to win, we can not hold elections any more, so next time, a little bit more about" We're going to bring back your work "and a little less about" We're going to make you piss at side of a guy in a dress "."
