Bring on the Recession: Bill Maher Hoping for Economic Crash to Oust Trump As seen on Fox & Friends Weekend | June 9, 2018 | 8:21 AM EDT
Liberal comedian Bill Maher on Friday said that he hopes the economy crashes in order to get rid of President Donald Trump.
Maher made the remarks on his HBO talk show, Real Time with Bill Maher.
I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, he said.
By the way, Im hoping for it because one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So please, bring on the recession.
Sorry if that hurts people but its either root for a recession or you lose your democracy, Maher added.
Theres more at the original.
How odd it is that the esteemed Mr Maher apparently believes that its democracy that allows you to vote for Democrats, but if someone votes for Republicans, well, heck, that aint democracy at all!
But, Ill give Mr Maher credit for one thing: at least hes saying, out loud, what so many on the left are thinking, but wont admit. Mr Maher is perfectly willing to see people, other people, of course, get hurt, lose their jobs, perhaps lose their homes, have their kids go hungry, just so his preferred candidates win elections.
The public seem to see things differently. Consumer confidence is at its highest level since before the 2001 recession, and has soared since Donald Trump was elected. Naturally, the Democrats scoff at those numbers, and claim that anything good in the economy is somehow the responsibility of President Obama, because, well, because they have to do that.
The Democrats, whose votes have long depended upon a feeling of helplessness and misery, certainly dont want you to feel good about the way the country is going. Mr Maher, at least, understands that people do feel too good right now, that that is bad for the left, and actively hopes that people become more miserable, just to get votes for the left.
Well, I hope that the left, at least, do feel miserable, and keep feeling miserable, as Republicans win elections.
Poster Comment:
Old Penis Nose has one important credit to his repulsive career. He had the distinction of supplying the voice over for the film 'Bill Clinton's Talking Penis.'
So now it's okay to root for failure, now that we have a Republican president? That was so unpatriotic and racist when Obama was in office. But it's even worse, because it's rooting for America to fail, not just a president - although I think the left abandoned that distinction when their guy was in power. Hypocrisy is one of the defining characteristics of the modern progressive.
