Overtime - should go for at least 30 minutes. It's a great segment! It always seems too short... Good questions and answers..

[@johndavis3921]

I agree. Partnering with CNN has hampered its free-flow format. On rare occasions, Mr. Maher's professional schedule has interfered with the discussion. Last week, overtime ended abruptly at 7:56 because Mr. Maher had to get to Vegas for a stand-up engagement. Two weeks ago, CNN did not air the discussion, so it lasted 17:06.

I have only seen Bill do that one time.

[@rickprice6312]

@@crodzilla3432 Actually, it's not. The exceptions to free speech in the US are extremely limited (i.e., yelling "FIRE" in a theater, pornography, inciting violence). A corollary is that while you have the right to speak, you don't have the right to be listened to. People are free to rely on their internal BS meter supported by their own common sense, experience and learning. Silencing opposing viewpoints is the province of dictators and has no place here.

"Shout out to Bill for allowing multiple view points on his show." Agreed. But there has to be certain exceptions; scum like Cancun Cruz is one of them. The 1 or 2 'intelligent' things that accidently come out of Cruz's 'pie hole' over the course of a year do not make up for all the evil that teddie (and his like, eh donnie ?) says and does on a daily basis; teddie and his like must be deprived of a 'soapbox' at every opportunity.

When one exptesses, in words, stated aloud or in the mind, something that an ostensibly all knowing and all loving God can hear and understand, then it must be honest and heart felt, because logically one cannot lie to God. It forces you to speak the truth, which is better than talk therapy with a psyxhiatrist, because of course you will hide some things, and also when you talk to God you know it will be kept in confidence.

In many cases these immigrants have walked hundreds or thousands of miles in order to come to the borders of the US. So they have demonstrated that they are highly motivated to come to the US & make a better life for themselves. Just like many of our own family members,who came to the US to pursue the American dream. Allowing these immigrants to pay into Federal taxes, & into Social Security would benefit all of us, so that we have money/resources to pay for our infrastructure & to keep the Social Security system funded for several more decades.
