There are lots of liberals who call out Muslims. Bill Maher for one.   

I wasn't aware that Bill Maher posted on this board. Wouldn't it be fun if he did? Kanye would be a fun forum member as well. And Father John Misty.

Bill Maher for one.   
does really seem like a party of one....
a satirist has an odd place in society and he can say what others won't and start the conversation that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't said out loud at all

It's not Trump-related, or even all that connected to the election, but Boehner is leaving Congress next month. Cry atcha later, Bone.

I was going to post the same quote. What the hell does it even mean?

Boehner is a moderate (within the GOP).  He was under pressure from the very conservative wing to shut down the government if Planned Parenthood wasn't de-funded.  The threat was that if he didn't do so the conservative wing would oust him from the speaker position.  Since he has given it up on his own, he can't be bullied any longer.  He also doesn't have to use his sway on other moderate Republicans.  There won't be enough anti-Planned Parenthood types to shut down the government, but they can point to Boehner's resignation and claim that they forced him to step down.  Everyone wins!

Wouldn't the pope be all in favor of defunding Planned Parenthood?
