Bill Maher kind of being annoying

When he's being a straight-up comedian, I think he can be funny and somewhat incisive, though he may have one or two jokes that come off as needlessly mean-spirited or intellectually dishonest (like talking about how the Democratic party needs to reach out and win back lower-class white workers and then immediately joke about how those same people are going through an opioid epidemic). When he gets into a really serious discussion with someone he disagrees with, I find him really phony. He knows rhetoric well enough to know how to back his opponent into a corner and put himself on his high horse without coming by his discussion honestly, and he especially does this all the time whenever the topic shifts to religion.

He's better than most liberals
