Bill Maher has long promoted "Bothsidesing" for the obvious purpose of maintaining the MAGA side of his fanbase, but today's interview with Stanford grad "Dr. Casey Means" signals a new low.

In his opening interview with her (an open promoter of RFK jr. as HHS secretary), there was very little discovery of this basic fact.

He never asked "I understand you support Donald Trump's nomination of RFK jr. as HHS secretary. Why would you support him -- who has no formal medical training -- over a more qualified candidate like yourself"?

Great job Bill!



Edit: Maher probably found the only Stanford Medical School graduate who supports JFK jr. on Tucker Carlson's show (or Joe Rogan) and gives her an open platform to promote him. Weak! The only good thing about the interview was that Dr. Casey Means towered over Bill Maher.

Here's RFK jr. just 5 days ago on stage with Casey Means' brother Calley (the other Stanford alum who supports RFK jr.'s nomination -- though he didn't go to the Medical School).:

You must have posted the wrong clip because she sounds reasonable and intelligent to me.
Joe Biden pardoned his son, Anthony Fauci, Gen Milley, Schiff, and the J6 Unselect Committee. The mods all voted for Kamala. They had no choice after the Biden coup. The people who shot Trump and Charlie Kirk probably vote Democrat too. The people who were obsessed with Russia hoax, vax status of others, J6, and the Epstein list are ignorant fools. Building genocide could have been prevented. Queers for Palestine. Trans rights. No Kings. Hamas not Hummus. Cousin love. Allahu Akbar.

Maher is a High Fructose Corn Syrup kind of obsessive . He's probably looking to be Undersecetsry of Sugar

Oso, what is it about Casey Means' statement above or her other interviews do you find objectionable?

I wanted to at least give a hint at what Maher's uncritical platforming was like since I couldn't find a clip of the entire interview. This is partially why I followed up with the clip showing Casey Means' brother openly promoting RFK jr. (I also substituted the original clip to show more clearly Casey Means' openly promoting RFK jr.)

The main point I was making is that the Means siblings' close alliance with Kennedy was barely mentioned in the Maher interview, which to say the least is misleading.

Maher returned to the White House for a second private dinner with Trump, Stephen A. Smith, and Kid Rock. Immediately following this dinner, Maher secured Karoline Leavitt (Trump's former White House press secretary) for her first-ever late-night television appearance, booking her alongside conservative commentator Steve Hilton for the October 23, 2026, episode of Real Time with Bill Maher.

Mort Saul never sold out to Nixon. Maher sold out to Trump.

*Maher won't be able to restrain himself from discussing his white washed version of the destruction of Gaza with those two MAGA cheerleaders.

Maher reported how hospitable, charming, reasonable and what a good listener Trump was at their 4 hour dinner at the White House. Maher did not, however, state how this in no way whitewashes or minimizes the cruelness, harmfulness and lawlessness of his public persona and of his Administration.

That being the case, why is it remotely relevant that Trump is such a sweetie in a private setting? Hasn't Bill heard that there is no such thing as an elite con man that is without charm?

The by product of this seduction of Maher was Steve Hilton and Karoline Leavitt being on his show yesterday.

Leavitt was the opening interview. She has mastered the art of holding a Cheshire Cat smile for an entire interview (like she was being interviewed by the Rush Committee at the Kappa House). When she expressed pity for her successor, Katie Zacharia, she added that Press Secretary is "the toughest job in Washington." This had me wondering how tough can a job be when you don't have to know facts or tell the truth, but simply ab lib bullsh@it and sling insult comic one liners at the media.

With regard to Steve Hilton, he engaged in some anemic Trump distancing, yucked it up in his blue blazer lined with the Stars and Stripes and the Bear Flag and played the role of Mr. Moderate. He gives wankers a bad name.

Trump Calls Bill Maher a 'Complete and Total Loser' on Truth Social https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/trump-calls-bill-maher-complete-total-loser-truth-social-1236931052/

I wouldn't doubt it that in exchange for Maher booking Karoline Leavitt and Steve Hilton on his show last Friday to freely spew their propaganda and falsehoods, Trump promised to give Maher a right bashing to help the little sellout preserve at least a little credibility with his fans.

If you sell your soul, be prepared to reap as you have sown. There's nothing that people love more than a smug MAGA.

Bonus points for resurrecting such an old thread, by the way.

Often there is a ton of whining here if you post in a prior thread under a thread with a title (even though the threads often stray from the thread topic and no really are about that topic title at all). For example, anything about Nathalie Harp today will likely be needed to a thread from 3-4 weeks ago that probably strayed into a discussion of Margo or Zacharia. The whines are usually used to censor and claim spamming when it is really a new topic to discuss.

I guess we have a limited supply of topic threads.

It is humorous to see that Kid Rock has the same lack of respect for the Office of the Presidency that Trump does. What a f@uckin' goof.

If this is truly your perception and not part of some made up clueless character, self awareness is not your strong suit.

I guess Trump, or Maher's new boss Ellison, got to Bill again. Ted Cruz is on hawking a book he wrote about Clarence Thomas and lying through his teeth.

Bill said he believed Anita Hill was harassed by Thomas. Cruz said harassers always have a pattern and never do it just once and Thomas never had a pattern. Maher had no rebuttal.

Too bad Bill was unaware that there were multiple women willing to testify that they were harassed by Thomas but the Chair of the Confirmation Hearing, Joe Biden, would not allow the evidence in.

Kid Rock is on the panel with the Axios founder.

Maher is a RFK west side of LA type - fake environmentalist , anti- science, Islamaphobic.

I was hoping Maher would ask Ted Cruz why his dad killed JFK but he didn't. I for sure would have.
