New Rule: Trump Is Above the Law | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

[@jordanloux3883]

This was a hard punch to the stomach. Been a while since I felt this kind of dread.

[@gabe5525]

Jordan Loux I've been feeling that dread since Trump first rode that escalator.

[@Wolfboss7]

Gabriel Bryant I keep looking back at that moment and wish more and more something happened-it jammed causing Trump to fall, someone pushed him, or for all I know the entire thing gave way and the fat orange went SPLAT!

[@SinnGread]

you poor pathetic amoeba ...look do you need a safe space...because you didn't when Obamer was droping bombs and killing civilians with his drone attacks every fucking day ... Obummer droped 3 boms a hour in his last year in office.... not to mention Re-writing the Child soilder Protection act.... but you would be to consumed with your own ignorance to know anything about that.. so hail Obama the bomb droping child killer eh??? .. fuck you

[@DJames-fn3cl]

Thank you, Jordan, that is simply and so well said. My dread has been building and building, and Mr. Maher really gave it a push to the top with his comments. Those of us who are not deplorables must find a way to resolve this nightmare.

[@gh2frg]

Jon sto, and? Under Trump, drone strikes have skyrocketed. What is the point of bringing up something that Trump is doing more of, as if there's an argument there? Jordan, we all need to realize that the Republicans are bound and determined to undermine the investigations and push propaganda at their voters so that they feel justified in doing nothing when Mueller finishes his investigation. That's all the Nunez, House Intel Committee, and talking heads for Fox and clones are working on. Pushing propaganda so they won't have to act when the time comes. They will not do ANYTHING to stop Trump, unless maybe he launches nukes unprovoked. And even then, it is doubtful. The only solution is to vote like our lives depend on it, because they do. And hope that Trump doesn't decide to refuse to leave the White House, leaving us with a desperate, history defining situation on our hands.

[@hadara69]

@ WhateverForever - Lol! Sorry, I'm trigger happy lately. The context is that IF we truly are a democracy, we can't allow Trump and the GOP to take that away from us merely due to apathy or propaganda. If he fires Mueller or refuses to comply, Americans should take to the streets in historic numbers.

Its this bs mentality that we need to stand by our country and the president instead of seeing the cracks and flaws, seeing how shitty our country has become that's causing us to be in this shit show. It's time to say enough with this patriotic bullshit and call America out on its crap, saying that America was never and has never been a great country, that it's just been another country and that we need to stop ignoring the problems and fix it, and if those in power refuse to fix it, we deal with them.

Unfortunately Zachary, yours is a democracy where your vote counts just as much as a "deplorable's" vote. In the near term I do not foresee any good leadership for your country given the weird electoral college system you guys have. Also by now it should be clear that it is the liberals in the electoral minority in America (as much as they pretend otherwise). However, I sincerely wish you the best for your country.

The real scary thing is, even when Trump's term ends, regardless of when or how, things won't go back to "normal." Precedents have been set, the way the world sees the US has fundamentally changed. We're on the edge of a cliff we are barely peering over. Our country is going to tear itself to pieces in 2020.

[@GantzIsSloppy]

whelp, guess im gonna find a new country to immigrate to

[@rymdalkis]

As a European who has spoken to people from all over Europe, we all agree that the US can no longer be trusted. They promise one thing, even sign official agreements, and all it takes is an election and the next dumbass will pull out simply because he doesn't agree with it. Why would we ever want to enter an agreement with the US again if we have no guarantee whatsoever that the next guy will honour that agreement?

[@Gottenhimfella]

You got that right. Trust is earned when agreements are kept. Only bullies and delusional people consider trust to be an entitlement owed to them because of status, and the same applies at the level of nations. We used to forgive American exceptionalism because it was counterpoised by many fine and sometimes even exemplary virtues, but with the advent of G W Bush, all that goodwill started to trickle away (an unkind person would say he piddled it away) Since Trump, that trickle became a veritable torrent, and there's sod-all left.

[@armedwombat6816]

If you go for a new civil war, please do not bother the rest of the world with your refugees. We would take them in, but I hear a lot of them are religious fanatics and very violence-prone. What if they came here and tried to propagate their primitive beliefs? They would take away our women's rights to paid maternity leave (because that's communism!) or to bare their tits at the beach (because that's indecent and will traumatise kids!) and if we don't fulfill their demands, they will shoot up a few schools. So, please stay exactly where you are. But we will send some hopes and prayers and a little foreign aid.

If "peaceful" people such as the Buddhists could be murderous to Muslims who weren't terrorists, then what chance do we have in a country oblivious to the fact that it wasn't founded on religious principles, but was a business enterprise from jump street? The early explorers didn't care about spreading religion, they cared about making money. Pilgrims weren't supplied by like-minded religious leaders, but by businessmen who wanted a return on their investments.

[@stormwatcher59]

Not just him, all his enablers also!!!!!

[@Ray__E]

If Trump tries to stay in office no matter what the people have the right to forcibly remove him from office. Trump is a parasite who will need to be ripped from the host(America).

[@grumpy1939]

One unanswered question... "where have all the snipers gone?" moi

[@capnheehee8103]

He's right, and confronting the reality of this chills me to my core. God help us.

[@AnonningAnon]

Cap'n HeeHee I'm an atheist, but there is an old diction where I come from that goes as so " Help yourself and the heavens above will help you". You cannot rely on God if that is your belief, you must first rely on yourself. Take action and find others to take action with you. Together you are stronger than alone. When you think you can't do anything, think again.

[@capnheehee8103]

I am also an atheist, and I used the phrase only as a saying. I'm doing all I can. So many of my fellow Americans are so intellectually lazy in 2018, though. They do not pay attention, and bottle up the news they consume to limited little snippets that never mention any story that illustrates exactly how deranged the Orange Mad King really is. I'm telling you, we are in trouble. Not because of what the people who understand how badly we are in trouble and exactly how insane it is that this narcissistic Alzheimer's patient is leading the the country are failing to do (though we could be doing better -- get off your asses and social media and get out and protest, people, do your time, Jikook is right about that). It's mostly because there are stubborn souls in this country that have been brainwashed slowly over the last few decades to believe in conspiracy theory and that they should take pride in their ignorance and inflexibility. It's going to be the fall of us. It is depressing the hell out of me. :(

[@candygirl6323]

Bill ! ..you only better...great program.....keep it up...(a Canadian)

[@SF4417]

LOVE your Show.

[@DavidfromBA]

As is often the case, Bill's right on the money. I wish he weren't, but he is. And as if all of this weren't sufficiently depressing and sobering, consider the following highly plausible scenario: Trump loses the popular vote in 2020 by an even bigger margin than in 2016, but gets another four years courtesy of the electoral college.

[@danferguson71]

sounds good. But the electoral college is the election.

[@sherrymcnichols8189]

Bill, you are so funny!

[@rays2241]

Thank you Bill for being there.

[@angeec.3312]

Scary indeed... this is dictatorship. Gotta vote him out; although he said (according to Cohen) that he wouldn't leave even if he loses. Would have to be lifted out, I suppose.

[@michaelrowsell1160]

How right he was then , looking at it now in May 2019.

[@elliemm557]

May 2020, May 2021, May 2022, May 2023, May 2024, investigation atop of investigation and almost a billion dollars later, and the dems would still not be satisfied. Money that could have gone into something constructive.

[@traekas7228]

Yeah, I’m here watching in May, 2019. He was right. But I knew this way before he made this video. Back in 2016. This is too much, man!

[@traekas7228]

Ellie MM hope you get affected in a bad way by his awful policies. Just like the Poor. The People of ... anybody who doesn’t fit Trumps mold.

[@betsy1947]

Thank you, Bill!

[@kevinwheeler6715]

Well, with the latest SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity, this has come true!

[@TurbidTG1]

We can fix this.

[@treeguyfly]

Like it or not, the founders were somewhat naive and believed that only persons with a strong belief in the republic would ever want to hold public office, or at least that they would make up such a majority that the few unethical ones would be powerless. The founders were, however, wise enough to recognize that they were not perfect, and future generations would need to amend the constitution, as we do right now.

[@greatwolf5372]

Gilgamesh Yeah I don't understand the need to glorify the Founding fathers. They were people, and just like any other, quite flawed and stupid in many respects.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Wise? They? Debatable. They clearly thought of themselves as the first among equals. They considered themselves worthy of the power and that the mob ought to be kept at bay. They didn't realized some of that class of rich and powerful would not have the same ideals as them. That someone could be different and still be elected, that someone could put their short term goals ahead of the nation's long term objectives and ideals. They were too arrogant to realize that they were flawed and that their system could be played. If anything, they meant it to be a game with marked cards. They just thought no one would steep lower and risk more than they would. They used themselves as the archetype for perfection. "Sure, they can be different. But anyone different would be less capable and, therefore, not elected."

[@StrigidaeStrigiformes-sv6mj]

The founders were not so wrong. Sure they were a bunch of gaping assholes. But they had the right idea given how they could not be tyrannical like their oppressors, from the the monarch system, but had to maintain order. This recent collapse is not due to the constitution. It is made by the people who abuse and distort their freedoms... neglect their responsibilities and are not vigilant against apathy and sloth.

[@St1kyFinguz]

Now that's what I call some pure purple-haired tide pod eaten safe space loving Millennial Bullshit.

[@tremedar]

The founders had an abysmal underestimation of the power the US would eventually wield, they expected that we'd never go beyond a regional power able only to defend ourselves locally and designed the country with this in mind.

[@merrychristmas1022]

Most politicians are above the law. When was the last time you heard of an elected official do time.

[@AliensAnonymous]

As a misanthrope, these are heady times.

[@timothyscanlon5156]

I unfortunately agree. So we MUST consider alternatives...

[@cathyallen3967]

I am listening to this on May 21st. Everything Bill said has come true. If he ever gets tired of this gig he could pass himself off a psychic. Just kidding.

[@lemonielala3080]

May 27. Just keeps getting better every day... 😵😵😞

[@Paulrustus]

As usual, well said, William.

[@briancolson3808]

Preach Bill!! I've been trying to tell people he's not going to get removed from office unless we beat him in 2020! Russia is an issue. But it's not some golden bullet that's going to get rid of the bastard!

[@Spyderredtoo]

A wonderful monologue, patriotic and, sadly, accurate.

[@MichaelWilliams-yc9xo]

Mr. Bill, my mother was his #1 fan! No wonder he is always right!

[@annesimon537]

Ssssshhhhhh!! Don't tell him all of that. You are giving the Donald ideas!!!!!

[@anthonywatson6070]

Holy shit im scared after watching this

[@alanmann1683]

Anthony Watson I'll just say one thing Antony. I don't know what age are. I'm so here goes. Nixon and Reagan got away with all kinds of tricks and constitutional "hoop jumping". So its a bit overdone for Bill to claim. Another thing, Reagen was nicknamed "The Teflon President" . So Bill is recycling some stuff here. The Democrats have pulled the odd fast one too. They aint angels

[@biketyson691]

Alan Mann Nixon is the only close comparison. That and the corrupt mayors of Chicago in the 20’s. Bill the Builder Thompson.

[@joemungus2946]

That is why he made this video. To control your thoughts and feelings without the facts.

[@joyceroberts6979]

In August 2019, it it just flat out frightening. Can't indict, subpoena, impeach, or invoke the 25th Amendment.

[@smeyer9507]

THANK YOU, BILL.

[@Annlindgk]

This is even more frightening the second time through.

[@julianbluefeather8491]

Bill still got that North Jersey accent after all those years on the west coast.

[@haliemorgan2663]

I wish Bill Maher would run for president!

Halie Morgan Maher isn't as smart as you think. He's liberal but he's no progressive.

[@rahuljphilip]

Honorable Catsmeat lol. That has to be some grade A+ level delusion and an expression of white male impotency. But then you're a Trump supporter. No surprises.

[@Linda4ism]

I’ll vote for the Maher/Colbert ticket!! We need brilliant, MORAL, and funny guys at the helm!!

[@rickfeenstrastaff7409]

Bill your monologue is spot-on as usual. This one takes the 🏆 trophy, the crown and the Oscar. What can we do now?? Consider this: We have to appeal to young voters to come forward on E-day and Vote! No more apathy! We must press on and register Everyone who is not on the voter list! We must continue the struggle against unjust district boundaries which are an insult to voters wishes! Declare War on gerrymandering! God bless Bill Maher and his message of Truth!😎👍🏻 A viewer in 🇨🇦 Canada

[@osbiggs9602]

It's really disheartening what the GOP is doing to America under trump. Of course liberals got one or two things totally skewed, but conservative reaction is utterly destructive of nearly everything sensible

[@4538-w6x]

He's brilliant. And people should listen to him more.

[@terrygriffin2438]

Bill was so spot on about Trump before during and to some extent after his presidency that it is scary he had him pegged the whole time.I’m from the UK but am an avid watcher of American politics as it’s way more interesting than ours,and I’ve never seen anybody have someone so dead to rights in the media just over and over again.It truly has been beautiful to watch good work Mr Maher and long shall your work continue unhindered and unmolested by the disgusting powers that be you really should consider running for office yourself.

[@charleskellam1675]

Bill : I think they will throw him under the bus rather than be replaced themselves !🤤😨

[@johndanielson3777]

I just pre-ordered a double wide casket in case Trump is still in office when I die and I need to roll over in my grave.

[@evolution18591]

B..b....but Hillary's emails...and uh, Benghazi.

[@colinfaust3058]

Right libtards don't mind that our embassy was attacked, our people dragged through the streets and murdered, then Hillarys DoJ lying to us trying to blame a youtube video. No justice was done but you libtards hate justice. Don't bring up Benghazi, it was a shit show and an embarrassment to the country and it makes your party look inept. I love how you asshats consider Benghazi and her being a complete fucking moron with classified information excusable.
