There Is No Off Limits


There Is No Off Limits


Why is it when you bring up real issues those who lean hard left deflect?

You know what I’m talking about.

I was listening to Joe Rogan interviewing Bill Maher the other day.

I like Bill.

He’s come out on the right side of many of today’s most pressing issues like woke, racism and the handling of the pandemic.

But when Rogan asked him about the trouble our current president is in he did the typical left response and deflected to how much worse Trump is than Biden.


I’m so done with this bullshit behavior.

When pressed by Rogan, Maher would have non of it.

He spat back with something like it’s not even comparable.

Hew went on and on about how crazy Trump is and what a criminal he is.

Well, if you look at the things coming out about the Biden’s one could say the same thing.

But no one asked about Trump he was asking about Biden.

No one asked him to compare.

Rogan asked a solid, legitimate question and he wouldn’t answer.


I’ve experienced this for decades. I’m not trying to pick on the left, people on the right do the same thing. But right now we’re not talking about the right we’re talking about Biden and the left. And, in my opinion the left uses deflection as a strategy and I’m tired of it.


I think that has to stop.

The rest of us need to push harder and when deflected by BS, call them out on it.


We have some serious problems with our current administration and if we don’t start talking about it we are in even more serious trouble.

Those of you who lean to the left and don’t want to talk about it, too bad, you get to.


Both candidates at the top of the heap, running for president, have some serious issues. But instead of lumping everyone together we can talk about them separately.


Everything wrong with Biden doesn’t have anything to do with Trump and vice-versa.

Deflection is a game and those playing it remind me of a husband and wife in marriage counseling where everything is the other persons fault.


This is America, there is no off limits.

Using your own words, “Well, if you look at the things coming out about the Biden’s one could say the same thing”


You are completely delusional. Trump is up against so many charges that I’ve lost count (what is it now, 90?). Attempting to overturn the 2020 Presidential election and to defraud the United States. Along with the insurrection, if this were the “golden age” of the good ol’ U S of A, Trump would already be hanging from the end of a rope, and I for one would support it.


So, don’t even try to compare Biden and Trump. What is wrong with you? Bunch of complete dumb shits….

these idiots don’t even know what a communist is, if they think Obama and Biden are such. The level of ignorance is mind boggling.

It's more Projection than Deflection. The Republicans are the Kings and Queens of Projection.

At this point, with a few very rare individual exceptions ( and there may or may not be any exceptions), I don't think any political party is MORE guilty than the other of anything. Self-absorption and how can I make cash or political points off of this (name of the issue inserted here) and ultimately get my way rules the day in my opinion. - M

This is very obvious to those (both sides) that don’t get emotional when confronted. I thought exactly the same thing about Maher when I listened to the Rogan podcast, Bill calm down and just have a conversation. I have tried to talk to some staunch democrats about the issues by telling them “ you pick one topic of your choice to discuss”. It never works. They always revert back to Trump, Big Oil subsidies, Republican spending, or Racist thinking. Almost always diverting from the topic they chose to discuss.

Until this changes, the division in the country will get worse and those in charge will continue to reap huge financial rewards from the rest of us.

Jeff I 100% agree. What is interesting in the Maher interview, is later he talks about how he can't believe people are so blinded and won't look into things...I thought "man Bill you are talking about yourself." This technique by the left is nothing new. I dealt with it my entire career. The good thing is now it's more easily seen and people like you and I refuse to play the game anymore.

Agree...I have many discussions in an acquaintance posting and when challenged or asked a direct question, he and his followers, all of which are either communists, socialist, or leftists will not answer the question posed to them. Rather, they will avoid, evade or deflect. furthermore, their pat go to answer will always involve Trump, failure to acknowledge science, or racism. When again called on their avoidance or deflection they will turn their answer back to the questioner in an attack that they are using flawed information and fact less claims or evidence. The only correct answers are theirs; the only facts are their facts, and the only truths are their truths. Same is true with politicians, and if…

Agreed that both parties CAN be guilty of this. I know some people on each right and left who are not this way.
