    Controversial libertarian Bill Maher offers Trump a check to leave office: 'You love money'

    Bill Maher offers Trump a check to leave office: 'You love money'

    By Marty Johnson - 10/19/19
    Liberal comedian and commentator Bill Maher offered President Trump $1 million to resign during his show Friday night.
    "Just take my check for $1 million," Maher, a long-standing Trump critic, said on HBO's "Real Time."
    "I bet I could get another 1,000 people just from here to the beach — including Malibu, of course — who would pay that much to see you resign," Maher added.
    Maher concluded, "Mr. President, it is really very simple. You love money. We hate you."
    The host has long called for Trump's impeachment, saying in January, "It’s pretty hard to convict — but if you don’t do it with him, where is the bar?"

    "And what sort of damage is he going to do for the next two years that he is in this office?" he added at the time.
    However, Maher warned at the end of September of the potential political ramifications of pursuing Trump's impeachment.
    "If we do this, the country is going to be paralyzed," the host remarked at the time.
    "I'm not saying don't. ... It's going to be paralyzed for a very long time, and all of the oxygen in the room will be taken by this," he added.
    Those comments came after House Democrats formally launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump focused on his July 25 phone call with Ukraine's president.

    Maher is just a typical east coast democrat that thinks weed should be legal because he likes it . He is more nazi than libertarian, he is your AOC type of dem. You know the type . Kind of like Satan but know less about economics .

    I was thinking along similar lines. Since when is Bill Maher a libertarian?

    I'll catch real time on occasion, some of his guests are interesting and new rules can be funny. I recall him giving time to Rand during the last election cycle and that was a decent interview. I don't think Maher still self identifies as a libertarian. Although he's had Penn Jillette on the show and he's a good example of a semi-famous libertarian.

    LOL

    My take from researching his life long business/political contributions/etc. record is that it is not during his presidency, but after. The dude loves him some eminent domain, among many other things. But, I am sure you know about these things already. Or don't you?

    ...I mean that's the public face of Libertarianism, the official party.
    In that environment it's no wonder know-nothings like Bill Maher think they're libertarian.

    People still pay attention to Bill Maher? I stopped paying any attention to him when he suddenly became Obama's 2008 head cheerleader after building an entire career on bashing both parties.

    (Funny how the same thing happened with Trump and anti-establishment commentators like AJ and Mark Dice and others.)

    Yeah that would have been terrible if Ron has campaigned on how terrible the 2008 bubble was and ending the Fed then, once elected, called on the Fed to lower rates and start QE. Or campaigned on ending wars then sent even more military. He would have deserved every bit of bashing, in your entirely fictional example of something that never happened and have no way of proving.

    Neither he's in it for the glory or Time Mag cover.
    Probably wanted to use his excellent deal making skills to help the nation navigate thorny issues like 2nd amendment, DACA, defending our closest allies in mideast and bringing America back to its small government, conservative values based roots.

    But that doesn't stop pesky critics like this Congresswoman who referred to him as p-word:

    Pence is dangerously close to Christian Evangelical base of GOP and among other things could erase progress made on LGBTQ rights under Trump-Obama Presidencies and perhaps on other issues. He's also said to be ally of groups like CUFI ( allegedely an anti-semitic group) but have not validated those claims.

    Pence has also never lived in NY, never dines with another woman unless his wife is preseent and comes from a southern or mid western state if I'm not mistaken.

    Politicians are so easy to buy. It would have been so much easier and cheaper for Trump to buy them if he was in it for the money. Even Bloomberg. Being a liberal he doesn't have his business hurt by running for office, but he is spending more of his money than it's worth.

    None...as far as I know, they have never owned nor operated a successful or unsuccessful business of any type.

    Those two pumpkin rollers were so broke they had to beg gas money to DC in 1992.

    Now they are multi-millionaires on nothing but graft, gimmees and grants.

    Look, I'm not a big fan of the man, but facts are facts: Trump's motivation does not lie in money, and the dope addled fantasies of Bill Maher notwithstanding, a bribe of a million bucks wouldn't shift him an inch toward resignation.

    There were also claims circulating that he self funded his campaign and did not take any money from globalist neocons like Soros, Adelson etc.

    Though his anti-nepotism relatives did win some awards:




    Kushner, Ivanka Trump made at least $82 million in outside income while serving in White House









    In a Beijing ballroom, Kushner family pushes $500,000 ‘investor visa’ to wealthy Chinese



    The event was hosted by the Chinese company Qiaowai, which connects U.S. companies with Chinese investors. (Emily Rauhala/The Washington Post)
    By Emily Rauhala and William Wan May 6 at 9:18 PM
    BEIJING — The Kushner family came to the United States as refugees, worked hard and made it big — and if you invest in Kushner properties, so can you.
    That was the message delivered Saturday by White House senior adviser Jared Kushner’s sister Nicole Kushner Meyer to a ballroom full of wealthy Chinese investors in Beijing.
    Over several hours of slide shows and presentations, representatives from the Kushner family business urged Chinese citizens gathered at a Ritz-Carlton hotel to consider investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a New Jersey luxury apartment complex that would help themsecure what’s known as an investor visa.
    The potential investors were advised to invest sooner rather than later in case visa rules changeunder the Trump administration.“Invest early, and you will invest under the old rules,” one speaker said.

    Mexico's President gives Jared Kushner their nation’s greatest award for saving NAFTA (renamed USMCA)

    The Order of the Aztec Eagle, issued by Mexico to foreigners who make a significant contribution to the country
    November 30, 2018
    Kushner was inducted into the Order of the Aztec Eagle. It’s an honour reserved for foreigners who make a significant contribution to Mexico’s wellbeing. In this case, it was for a trade agreement.
    The USMCA agreement — which replaces the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) dumped by President Trump — is expected to be signed at the G20 meeting of world leaders in Argentina.
    He was a “grand ally of Mexico”, President Peña Nieto declared at the announcement, which elevates Kushner to the same league as Bill Gates, Queen Elizabeth II, Walt Disney and Nelson Mandela.
    Kushner deserved recognition for “his significant contributions in achieving the renegotiation … avoiding a unilateral departure by the US from the treaty”.


    Kushner, the publisher of the New York Observer and husband of Ivanka Trump, is rising within the presumptive GOP nominee's world in the wake of campaign manager Corey Lewandowksi's ouster, sources within Trump's circle told NBC News.
