New Rule: Parliament Fights | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

With political incivility approaching dangerous levels, Bill reminds America's leaders that it's possible to hate each other’s guts and still get great things done.

The problem is that in politics, the hate itself is part of the performance. Governing isn't.

He’s a fence sitter. He knows the Dems are destroying the country yet he chooses to call people Ike MTG crazy. Has Bill seen AOC lately? With her constant cries of racism and fake victimhood. She is the best representation of the Dem party as a whole. Stupid, ignorant, degenerate liars and race hucksters who support nonsense such as trans children. The Republicans are tame compared to what the Democrats have become. They are completely off the rails and no matter how crazy they get Bill Maher will continue to vote for them because he just can’t bring himself to vote red. I like Maher and I think he could be reasonable. But until then he’s part of the problem, not the solution.

[@broco1163]

Time to Read the words of the 14th Amendment's Section 4, Section1. white men killed other white men, so as to write the 14th Amendment! Every single GOP President in Your lifetime Had ONLY deficits. So where is the GOP Plan to Pay down all the 32 yrs of deficits (since & including Nixon) No plan to ever pay the bills, nor to Honor the 14th Amendment's Section 4. written by white men in 1868, before Blacks were elected to office. one of the GOPers has no plan to ever pay down the Debts from TRUMP, gwbush, Ghwbush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon. all those GOP Presidents failed to pay one yr's worth of debts off. GOPers censor their Plans to bankrupt USA and end all Federal Rts! Soon States will be able to Deny the 2nd Amendment !! Be Aware of the end of the 14th Amendment 14th Amendment's Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. Section 4 confirmed the legitimacy of all public debt appropriated by the Congress. It also confirmed that neither the United States nor any state would pay for the loss of slaves or debts that had been incurred by the Confederacy. For example, during the Civil War several British and French banks had lent large sums of money to the Confederacy to support its war against the Union. In Perry v. United States (1935), the Supreme Court ruled that under Section 4 voiding a United States bond "went beyond the congressional power." 14th Amendment's Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Actions speak Louder than the biggest Lie! The GOP Plan is to DEFAULT on USA debt and cause the revoking of all Federal Rts!! Once the GOP Default on the debt by not raising the ceiling, they defy the words of the elected (white) men of 1868. White men killed other white men, so as to write the law known as the 14th Amendment. // God Bless the Free Blacks that fought under Gen. GW at the Battle of Long island. their courage, while some whites ran, showed Gen GW Blacks should be FREE to save USA. Show me a GOP Plan to pay down the debts of the prior GOP Presidents. Other wise, there is no point to supporting their defiance of the Constitution's Article 1 S 8 P1 // the Founders sent the army with cannons to arrest the Whiskey Rebels for firing off muskets prior to paying the taxes due on their Whiskey sales. READ the history of the white Man Before U all lose your so call Federal RTs. DEM States are planning to 'remove the 2nd amendment' once the 14th Amendment is revoked! stupid people serve as the slaves and Masters use them as fodder a National sales tax of ONLY 5% with a Horizon clause, could pay down the $30+ trillion GOP want a 30% sales' tax and Huge Cuts to all rich shareholder's passive income. Passive Capital Gains' income does NOT go into the Gross Domestic Product, as per the Formula. Purge the Non taxpayers, as per Andrew Jackson! Jackson knew what to do to the traitors!

The reason actors can work together even though they hate eachother is that there’s direct financial consequences if they don’t.

[@Hirnlego999]

Politicians do this theater for likes

[@denniszenanywhere]

It’s called empathy. Actors try on someone’s skin as part of the movie. They empathize with their character, not the person they are acting with. It’s easy not to get along when your focus is the character you’re playing and you want to make it work. That one word- empathy- is what actors have because they’re putting on a character not their own whereas a politician has to wear the same character all the time, there’s no switching off their character unlike actors who use their roles for therapy and again, empathy.

[@australien6611]

@@denniszenanywhere thats not what empathy means dude..

[@JingIeFett]

​@@australien6611 I think the comparison was ok, the problem is Bill didn't address *why* the actors can do that. The why is important if he wants the same outcome, otherwise it's just wishful thinking and complaining For example, if politician's salary was directly affected by congress' approval rating, you bet they'd clean up their act and start working together the next day. Because now their salary would be on the line, just like the actors. But without financial consequences, they can do whatever they want and it doesn't matter. The worst that can happen is they get voted out of office, which just incentivizes them to make their opponents look bad

So letting someone come between you and your money is not something those who work in Hollywood are about. There is no threat of this in congress.

Remember the rules we learned in kindergarten? Always share your toys, and don't hoard them. Learn cooperative play. Put your toys back where they belong when you're done with them. Never hit anybody. Don't throw your food. Respect adults and be polite to people. Say please and thank you, excuse me, and ask permission to leave the room. Dress appropriately for school. Clean up your own messes. Respect your teacher. Make friends with other kids and take care of the weak ones. Play fair, use sportsmanship during gym and competitive gamwa. Take turns. Pledge allegiance. Work hard and study. Be a good citizen. And if you misbehaved or didn't do your homework, the teacher would give you a time-out, send you home with a letter and extra homework, and no one made excuses for your inappropriate behavior. Now teachers and principals are expected to be police,,shrinks, social workers and babysitters, as well. With low pay and dangerous schools, paying for school supplies from their own pockets. And science teachers can't teach science. And history teachers can't teach history. Congress and the Senate need some muscular babysitters and rule enforcers for these infantile politicians. Even kindergarteners know the rules better! We should put some of the kids in Washington to replace the bad boys and girls, who deserve a long time-out. Like, forever. One strike and you're out.

Politicians don't hate each other. One politician's constituents hate another politician's constituents.

[@nahuelma97]

I'd say it's a lot of that, yes, but that's mostly the case with the older generations of politicians. In this context, older/younger politicians meaning people who have been in politics for more or less time, not necessarily referring to their general age. I doubt Ted Cruz believes a single word out of any of the stupid shit he's said publicly about Joe Biden, or any of the people in his generation or older, but people who have been in politics for a lot less longer than him probably do have feelings more closely resembling hate and disdain than respectful disagreement. I think you're much more likely to find a pair of people from each side of the isle who respect each other regardless of their disagreements in older politician generations than in pairs who have been in politics for 10 years or less, let alone people who got into politics during the Trump presidency or after. For better or worse, people who have been in politics for a while know how the system works and they know that you can't completely lose respect for the other person's humanity, unlike the younger politicians who simply don't have that understanding and, because of the way they behave, they may never gain it at all
