Bill Maher is back on the air after a break, and he’s got a lot to say about the California fires. He’s definitely not holding back his feelings. During his recent show, Maher went after Democrat leaders like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom.
He criticized them for not being ready for the fires that have been tearing through California. One of the main issues he pointed out was that a lot of the fire hydrants didn’t have water when they were needed. Can you imagine that?
According to him, hundreds of these hydrants have been stolen over the years and haven’t been replaced, which is a huge problem.
Maher also slammed the state’s high taxes. He was frustrated that despite these high taxes, basic needs like functioning fire hydrants weren’t being met. It’s a pretty straightforward argument: if people are paying such high taxes, they expect essential services to be taken care of. You can feel his exasperation when he talks about it.
He referenced a story from Axios about how getting water from hydrants in places like Pacific Palisades was more complicated than you’d think. He sarcastically noted that while it might be complicated, it’s exactly what he expects his taxes to be used for – to manage these complications, not to leave things unsolved.
Maher didn’t just stop at the hydrants issue. He threw in a jab at LA Mayor Karen Bass, comparing her to Nero, the infamous Roman Emperor, saying she was “fiddling in Ghana while the city burned.” That’s a pretty harsh comparison, implying she was out of touch with the immediate needs of her city.
He made a strong point about taxes, saying he doesn’t want to pay more; he just wants the current taxes to be used effectively. This is a sentiment many people can relate to, not just in California. It’s about accountability and ensuring that tax money is used where it’s needed most.
In another segment of his show, Maher had a guest, Erin Perrine, who criticized President Joe Biden. She pointed out an inconsistency, saying Biden didn’t seem to mind the influence of big money in politics when it was benefiting Democrats. This is an interesting perspective that challenges the common narrative around Biden’s stance on oligarchy and wealth in politics.
Maher agreed with some of her points, noting that influential figures like Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are often involved in political discourse. He acknowledged that Biden isn’t entirely wrong in his concerns but seemed open to discussing the complexities of the issue.
Maher has claimed he won’t let what he calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome” affect him during Trump’s potential second term. That’s a bold statement, and only time will tell if he can stick to it. It’s clear he’s trying to maintain a balanced perspective, though it’s a challenging task in today’s political climate.
Overall, Maher’s return was marked by his usual sharp wit and strong opinions. He’s clearly passionate about holding leaders accountable and ensuring that the public’s money is used wisely. Whether you agree with him or not, it’s hard to deny that he’s raising important questions about governance and responsibility.

The leftist in charge has other priorities, thing that are not the primary responsibility of Government.
Green energy rebates, infrastructure, handouts

Pouring money down the homeless rathole that actually appears to increase their dependency as not it is a viable way of life.

Michael Mitchell; Very well said and a gut punch of reality! And to this Mahar I’ve heard him say one thing or another over the years, but all I have to say to him and especially all Demoncraps is stop talking and prove you see the truth and light and CHANGE for the better!
Less mouthpiece talking BS and more actual doing substantive good is what this society and Nation need now more than ever before! He like many others are making their big bucks hobnobbing and rubbing elbows with the Elite and Holly-weird and actually doing diddlysquat in reality to change the actual twisted insane paradigm that we now call the American Way; which they’ve like he have shaped over the decades!
Biden Harris and all democrats take a bow and pat yourselves on the back for the only administration ever to F-ck up a country in less than four years. You scumbags will go down in history as the worst leaders in America’s history. The most corruption ever committed by any administration ever to destroy mankind. You spent more money than any other administration and accomplishments nothing and have nothing to show for it except 20 MILLION ILLEGALS entered our country you democrats are a disgrace to America and the American people. Democrats you will never ever win an election again because you can never be trusted again four years you destroyed the best country in the world history will never forgive your incompetence. The democrat party is finished for ever the same old dogs that’s been in the party are the ones that caused all this evil corruption and your going to pay for it. Trump’s team is walking into
A completely BANKRUPT GOVERNMENT the democrats left an enough money to keep the government running till Tuesday. This is how the democrats operate screw the new administration and the taxpayer the people and you think Americans are going to trust you ever again not a chance in hell. And Biden the best we can wish for you is you don’t have to sit in a full diaper more than 6 hours before some asshole has to change you. And democrats you destroyed yourselves and he world knows it so F-ck yourself
TRUMP MAGA is going to make you bigger assholes than you already are. FJB Harris and democrats
Sue; that is the real deal! Hard to believe that from the time President Trump left office till now the evil Xiden/KamaChameleon Insanity Cabal administration increased the National Deficit from around 23.5 $Trillion to an approaching nearly 40 $Trillion which is so evil and diabolical that there will be hell to pay for all those who had anything to do with that increase which is a death blow to America and we the Citizens! Meanwhile they have those some 20 Million Invaders here milking our financial coffers putting us in deeper debt by the hour so this is beyond out of control it’s into the blow-up in your face range now! I read many get a $2200.00 a month debit card and SS Number, not even being a citizen and I know old timers or veterans that wish they had that kind of monthly benefit after working all their lives in America or even having served in wars for their country!
All this in not even four years which is so criminal Biden should be immediately shipped to GITMO with most of his immediate administration and be tried then summarily executed by a military firing squad! We know this won’t happen but I say it because if there really was any justice left in America that would happen in a heartbeat!
Much of this debt was created behind the front of Alternative Energy the “Green New Deal” like Windmills and Solar Panels made in Communist China, spread out over some areas of the landscape by even cutting down stands of old forestry in my own area to put those panels, which give minor added power while taking away CARBON ABSORBING TREES that convert all that excess carbon emissions the Demoncraps and Leftist constantly complain about; and the trees are the one thing that can turn it into Oxygen for us to breath; and electric cars with no charging infrastructure nor practicality for them at all; which makes it all a HOAX!
The Demoncraps did the one thing they do best and that is “steal from all American Citizens!”
Maher can bitch all he wants but he will still go into the voting booth and pull any lever with a D next to it. Billy boy, you got the government you deserve.
