Did you see the Aussie comedian flip Piers Morgan the bird?

Looking forward to it.

(10,173 posts)5. It was a great moment..
But I'm sure Piers is used to people giving him the finger.
Bill also asked for an apology from people who claimed HRC was "lesser of the two evils" ..

Sad but true that there is a lot of stupid out there. It was great to see Jim Jeffries tell off Piers Morgan. He told him to fuck off and flipped him off. He is right though, Piers defends Trump because he won apprentice and has a new friend. Piers Morgan is a pompous asshat.

What's encouraging is that the resistance is everywhere.

and American anti intellectualism isn't funny any more. It's turning fatal.

the biggest jackass on twitter." Bill Maher
Bill makes an excellent point about learning to love knowledge.. since America has become so inundated with propaganda and fake news.. thanks to the brainwashers @ fox.. etc
Mahalo, betsuni!
