"If you care about the real American shit or you don’t. And if you do, it goes for every side. I don’t like Alex Jones, but Alex Jones gets to speak. Everybody gets to speak."

Seems like you're very passionate about this, Bill. Perhaps you'd like to give Alex Jones 15 minutes of free air time on your fucking show every week. He could do the opening monologue for you. AJ gets to speak, right? Right??? Where are you running off to, Bill?

Dumbshit.

and I think is the problem with Facebook, is that he goes after specific people and harms them with obvious, and large, lies that disparage them. That is against FB rules. Actually, FB could get sued for allowing it.

So I think Maher was totally wrong about that.

About Maher having AJ on his show, I think he would. He likes controversial guests.

it may disappoint because it may not be a clear document saying what Maher expects it to say...I agree with him. Bill Maher goes on to cite examples of what he thinks is treason, but what he cites isn't clearly treason, legally, and he is citing things he's read, which isn't legal evidence. It's hard to prove things, even if you know they're true, and even if there can't be that many coincidences...that's not proof. And Mueller is dealing with hard evidence. He won't conclude something that he doesn't have clear evidence for.

Axios is saying it may be a somewhat more vague report than Maher (he means the left) is hoping for. I fear he's right, but I'm hoping he's wrong.

It's one thing to say that Russian oligarchs bought a lot of Trump condos. It's another thing to have proof that that means there was a quid pro quo to the extent that it makes him a Russian agent. But I'm hopeful.
