Isn't there so much truth in humor? Some of those I have met from so-called prestigious schools really think their shit doesn't stink. Assholes really sums it up.

were on their 'A' game tonight. The bit about the snowflake MAGAts approved restaurants was hilarious. John Heilemann with his Nine Inch Nails tee shirt on. Great show all around. Well worth the watch.

Just proves they don't need to have RW guests for Bill to argue with for it to be a successful show!

And I was bummed that they didn't offer the MAGA hat funny bit segment on the site this week - they included Trump's insane CPAC comments (last week's funny bit) last week - but at least these videos will still be available tomorrow.

I disagree with Bill re: debating on Faux Snooze though.

None of those viewers are going to vote for a Dem. The moderator is going to ask dumb as ass questions to try to F with the candidates. I get that they have a bigger audience than MSNBC, but I don't remember r's debating on MSNBC.

But only if they're allowed to speak - like Republicans on with Rachel Maddow or with Bill, himself. But if they only confront Bill O'Reilly "cut his mike!" moments, then I don't blame them for not wanting to appear. As for the debates, it would depend on the moderators. It would work for me if the DNC got to approve the moderators, too...

Not every Fox viewer loves Trump. Our candidates should be there and make the viewer feel respected.

I was looking forward to seeing this one since one of my Senators was on. He's the only one worthy of the office and it's taken him a couple terms to get there.

He acquitted himself very well tonight - everyone on that show did! Just proves that they don't need to include a RWer for Bill to argue with to have a great show - I'm hoping that the trend continues!

I'll have to look for the group conversation part. But this was good for now, I'm kind of tired still. I've been ill for about the last month and I'm exhausted and lost a lot of weight. I have to watch in spurts.

I really wanted to see that interview w/ Andrew McCabe and I am glad I did. Thanks so much for posting! Great show overall! Also love Andrew Gillum!

I'm just glad it's still there! As you know, some are better than others - a lot of them record from their TV and the quality isn't the best, but this one was decent and looked like the entire hour. I was disappointed that HBO didn't include Andrew McCabe - or the funny bit about the MAGA hat restaurants - last week they included both the initial guest and the funny bit. I don't know how they make these decisions = maybe because Andrew McCabe didn't stay around for Overtime??

And I agree about Andrew Gillum, he is so well spoken and clearly "one of us," his interview was great! I'm positive that we'll be hearing a lot more from him. And the best part about this show was that there were no RWers to skip over!

it does make a difference.

I always try to watch it when it is posted on You Tube and I save three different versions of it to my gmail since HBO seems to delete them by Sat AM when I have time to watch. Somehow it gets deleted there sometimes too.

And I post the official version since I know it won't be gone in hours or by the next day. But I did include a good version of the complete show in post #9 since another DUer was interested in seeing Jon Tester - and that version is sill working tonight.

You Tube versions have commercials throughout. I was relieved to see I didn't have to fast forward through obnoxious guests.
