Mayer castigates liberals for Covid cluelessness

[Nordberg]

Nobody gives a fuck about Bill Maher. He's a self righteous prick that desperately wants attention. He lost me years ago.

Yet he has survived without you, proving lots of somebodies care about what he says.l

Idk, maybe Maher made it up.
What do you think ‘the real’ statistics are?

All the data so far indicates that hospitalization, and indeed mortality, depends crucially on whether a person has been fully vaccinated.

In the UK, Jan to July 2021, figures compiled by the Office for National Staistics show that around 50,000 people died of (or if you prefer with) Covid.

Of those, about 250 had been fully vacccinated - and 80% of those were "clinically extremely vulnerable". That leaves about 50 genuine "breakthroughs".

Are your red state folks who scoff at vaccination aware of that?

It's all good. Whatever. Let's stay friends.

Works for me!

Not a proof. Four term fallacy. It only shows that the guys paying him are still paying him.

Random numbers are not data. Covid19 does not kill.

States have no color.

Not following Dear Leader, then. Trump was vaccinated last January.

It's proof. he has done so well that he gave a million bucks to Obama. Yes, it is proof.

Attempted proof by contextomy. Invalid proof.

You simply presume the right to dictate what is true. You have no such right, especially since you are so slanted and wrong.

you lost your mind years ago.
Maher is an old fashioned liberal. Just like I was.
the difference is he stays in a party that really doesnt want to hear what he says.

Your party has become extreme Progressives -radicals who want socialism and cradle to grave entitlement
The USA is going broke if you hadn;'t noticed, you are setting yourself to bankrupt the USA and those programs wont pay when it happens
Republicans are a shade less irresponsible - but at least dont want massive expansion of fed payments

I suppose some people do. They think Maher is cool. He isn't. He's a blowhard.

LOL, so Maher has turned in to a Russian Bot. Thanks for that info. I don't have a party. I have positions. I get that you are all about your 'team'. I'm not.

When is the last time you did not vote for a Democrat Presidential candidate.?

Inversion fallacy. Redefinition fallacy. A proof is not a right. I didn't create the logic you are denying. Your fallacies are YOUR fallacies. It is YOU that is making them. Only YOU can make the decision to stop making them. Do not blame your problem on others.

You create phoney fallacies, not I. The truth is Maher suffers from the blindness that being wealthy provides. You are far separate from the poor and middle class. You really do not know how they think or live. The wealthy live in gated enclaves. They go to schools the rest of us do not. They have gyms that are not available to us. The golf where we cannot. Their restaurants are not ours. They do not bank like we do.
Maher has been rich long enough, that he has accepted the memes of the wealthy. The fact that the top 1o percent pays over half the taxes does not mean they are heavily taxed. They have had their tax rates cut over and over since Reagan. They have had congresspeople pass loopholes and breaks for them. The fact that they pay a big part of the total revenue while getting all those breaks tells you they have all the fucking money. That is all it says.

They are YOUR fallacies dude. Only YOU can decide to stop making them.

I do know how they think and live. I own my own business.

The wealthy live in gated enclaves.

So do I.

They go to schools the rest of us do not.

I don't go to school other than to teach.

They have gyms that are not available to us.

Same gyms, though most just jog outside or something.

The golf where we cannot.

Same golf courses. I play at them too.

Their restaurants are not ours.

If it is their restaurant, it isn't mine.

They do not bank like we do.

Yes they do.

Maher has been rich long enough, that he has accepted the memes of the wealthy. The fact that the top 1o percent pays over half the taxes does not mean they are heavily taxed.

Yes it does.

They have had their tax rates cut over and over since Reagan.

You pay no taxes. What are you complaining about? It's time you pay taxes.

They have had congresspeople pass loopholes and breaks for them.

You have zero taxes. It's time you pay taxes.

The fact that they pay a big part of the total revenue while getting all those breaks tells you they have all the fucking money. That is all it says.

You pay zero taxes. That's a pretty big break, dude. It's time for you to pay taxes.
