Bill Maher is a traditional liberal, not a modern liberal. As such, he makes some good points on certain issues.

“It exposed, I thought, a lot of aspects of this society we have which are not terribly positive — toxic masculinity, victim culture,” Maher said. “Liberal hypocrisy, I think, was the big loser.

“These are the very people who are always talking about micro-aggressions in the workplace and how you should be, you know, not have to face an uncomfortable moment or, you know, people shouldn’t touch you or unwanted leave. Suddenly, they were okay with this,” Maher said. “It just seemed to show, to me, broken morals. Like, you really have no principles.
“When it’s a star that you like in the service of some vague principle into intersectionality like your wife shouldn’t be insulted even in a mild way, then it’s like, well, too bad. That’s what I like. It made me feel good. So I forget my principles … It was a bad night for liberal hypocrisy,” Maher continued.
The television host spoke about how the Oscars are a “representation” of the Democratic Party. “Why is the D so toxic? Because they look at the Oscars and they — it represents sort of, like, pandering. It represents sort of, like, where we’re not connected to everyday people … I mean, this year was a disability, gay and race, which there should be a movie made about these topics, they’re important topics, but it looks like the Oscars only do those topics,” Maher said, referring to Oscar winners Troy Kotsur, Ariana DeBose and Smith.
Guest Andrew Yang agreed. “I do feel like it’s part of the job of a world-famous celebrity attending an award show to absorb mild insults directed at you and yours,” Yang said. “I ran for office and people said things around me I didn’t like, and I didn’t get up and smack anyone…And I think when you describe what happened the Oscars as exposing how some rules seem to apply more to some bigger than others.”

I voted “NO” for reasons completely unrelated to the to the entire Pro VAX – Anti VAX.
I worked for the Defense Dept for 42 years, 30 in the military. Been to two major wars and served all over the planet, including places I could not go a/o serve w/o certain required vaccines. The military is not a democracy and soldiers don’t get to vote on which medical requirements DoD and the six branches determine is necessary for personnel to be deployable. Military vaccinations are also a condition of employment with which military must comply to be a member of the Armed Forces. Military are paid with public funds by the taxpayers, via Congress & military finance offices, with the full rightful expectation that all personnel meet the standards and requirements established to be eligible to serve and receive those public funds. How can a nation reasonably expect to be protected and defended, if military have the right to opt out of requirements necessary to do their jobs?
One of the dumbest notions I’ve heard in some time and that’s saying a mouthful considering who is running the government these days. Respectfully, JMS
Maher spokes man for the obvious ! Once again tells us what we already knew ! But at least he is saying it out loud !
