Albert Einstein agrees with Bill Maher.
"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights." - Albert Einstein
They now get posted to YouTube in their entirety, legitimately or not. It's not Canada who blocked them it was the options put up by the people who posted it. But they probably had a contractual obligation because a company in Canada paid them for exclusive rights
Because you country has licensing problems and they restricted the content. HBO has branches all over the world, and they are limited to content by those local branches, not the USA Branch.

Baloney.
People would not unsubscribe to HBO just because the monologues, new rules, interviews, and discussions were to be posted on the Real Time channel...and they would get a lot of views...which might drive people to subscribe to HBO to see Bill live.
I worked the advertising industry for more than 20 years.
That's the way it works.
Sorry Bill. How was it dragging your own dead hooker to the finish line? Try filming Religulous #2 in Iran. It will feature the beheading of a frosted haired political funny-man faggot, shooting up heroin in the desert, and the banging of 10 year old boys in drag.
enjoy your delusions. The creator of them appeared on 60 minutes but I doubt you'e able to focus beyond 140 characters. get out of our spot and hook up with others of your kind
The boy who cried wolf.
All the sheep are dead, the wolves now rule America.
You looked down on the American citizen. The American citizen looks down on you now.
That's a cool story if I ever did hear one.
Sorry to ruin your "identity politics spite vote
policy positions", but I am unfortunately (gasp) foreign and couldn't care less about your precious feels.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy With most of what's wrong with our political system benefiting party bosses, yet party bosses controlling everything from elections to debates; how do we get our country back from party bosses?
... By getting real justice in the Supreme Court! By getting more people out to vote for the Representative which supports our ideals. I was so disheartened when the Supreme Court voted to lift the cap on campaign contributions and block transparency. THAT was a crime! Putting that cap back on party donations, is a start, but there's more....Money... money.... money..... the root of all evil! Washington (Congress) works for the top percentile, as they buy the Lobbyists who flood in and overtake the floors voting process, making sure their Master's get what they need to keep that control/power... money!
It's actually quite simple on how you take the country back. Sanders laid the foundation for it, so many of his movement's supporters are now running for local and state government positions. As Joe Biden once said, "The penalty good men pay for not being involved in politics is being governed by men worse than themselves." The reality is that if we want to take back our government we have to start at the city and state levels. who unlike their counterparts on the federal level, pass 10s of thousands of laws each year and many of these laws are introduced by groups like ALEC which is a group of businesses that represent different corporations and they'll fund campaigns just to get their ALEC nominees into positions and those representatives will then introduce ALEC favoring legislation.
What the Sanders campaign proved is that money and commercial time don't mean much when people are getting their information from Facebook and twitter, both sites proved vital in both organizing supporters as well as mobilizing them. Sanders was also able to raise so much money due to online donations which made money to pay for commercials of his own.... it is a model that scales down to the local scale and is very effective in facing big money. So these city and state level positions are very winnable if you have an appealing candidate, which Bernie showed was just a down to earth, no bullshit type, who wants to do their best to make the lives of those in their community better. Because of a campaign structure that won't rely on outside money, running as an independent should even be doable. Sanders has been in politics for over 30 years and was an independent the entire time, only joining the Democrats when he decided to run for president so he has shown its possible to have no political interest or special interest influencing your positions, leaving only your fellow citizens' welfare as the main influencing force.

Bill, I think you're simply great, you call the BS on sight and tell shit the way it is, I'm an atheist too and 1 of the reasons I'm pride of it, is people like you, keep it up, and please run for President and put some sense in that Gov.
-- A great fan of your work.
I love him too, but cmon, he's in no way qualified to be president. I just recently started watching clips of this show, and it's like an anti-religious version of the daily show in a way, and I love it. I wish I had HBO to see the full episodes, but I am grateful for the scraps they throw out here. I watched a ton of interviews with Bill Maher, and I got to say I agree with him on most things, and I respect him a lot. He's one of the few people with a big show that actually argues against religion, and that takes balls in this very religious country. Plus he's pretty hilarious.
Bill, love the show, big fan BUT, don't give up on Bernie! Bernie just won Maine and kicked but in the Flint debate. Don't join the rest of the media in talking about Hillary as if its a done deal.
Love ya,
Jamey
