We're all done with you two faggots and everyone like you.

The world you thought you were living in 6 months ago no longer exists.

They put the entire transcript up for this one...

Quote:
HBO host Bill Maher opened his show on Friday by delivering a monologue on the details of his recent meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House. Read the full transcript below.

For what I know you’ve all been waiting for, I’d like to give you my book report on my visit to the White House. As you know, 12 days ago, I had dinner with President Trump — a dinner that was set up by my friend Kid Rock, because we share a belief that there's got to be something better than hurling insults from 3,000 miles away.

And let me first say that to all the people who treated this like it was some kind of summit meeting, you are ridiculous. Like I was going to sign a treaty or something. I have no power. I'm a comedian and he's the most powerful leader in the world. I'm not the leader of anything, except maybe a contingent of centrist-minded people who think there's got to be a better way of running this country than hating each other every minute.

OK, so meet up in person, maybe it'll be different. Spoiler alert, it was. First good sign, before I left for the capital, I had my staff collect and print out this list of almost 60 different insulting epithets that the president said about me. Things like: stupid, dummy, low-life dummy, sleazebag, sick, sad, stone-cold crazy. Really a dumb guy, fired like a dog, his show is dead.

I brought this to the White House because I wanted him to sign it, which he did. Which he did, with good humor, and I know as I say that, millions of liberal sphincters just tightened. Oh my god, Bill, are you gonna say something nice about him? What I'm gonna do is report exactly what happened. You decide what you think about it. And if that's not enough pure Trump hate for you, I don't give a f*ck.

So no, I didn't go MAGA. And to the president's credit, there was no pressure to. After we left the Oval Office, he showed me the little room off the office, you know, the one where Clinton used to ... the blow job room, OK? Well, not anymore. That's where they keep the merch now.

And he gave me a bunch of hats, but he didn’t ask me to take a picture in one, which I appreciated. The guy I met is not the person who the night before the dinner, tweeted a bunch of nasty crap about how he thought this dinner was a bad idea and what a deranged f*ck I was. I read it and thought, oh, what a lovely way to welcome someone to your house.

But when I got there, that guy wasn't living there. Now, does Trump want respect? Of course, who doesn't? My friend said to me, what are you going to wear to the White House? I said, I don't know, but I'm not going to dress like Zelenskyy, I'll tell you that. Just for starters, he laughs! I've never seen him laugh in public. But he does, including at himself. And it's not fake. Believe me, as a comedian of 40 years, I know a fake laugh when I hear it. And I thank you for them.

Example: In the Oval Office he was showing me the portraits of presidents and he pointed to Reagan and said in all seriousness, ‘You know the best thing about him? His hair.’ I said, ‘Well, there was also that whole bringing down Communism thing.’ So, I was waiting for the button next to the Diet Coke button to get pushed and I go through the trap door. But no, he laughed; he got it.

I said to him at one point, ‘Mr. President, you know, the dog. That's unusual in the White House.’ He said, ‘Well, a lot of the presidents, they had a dog for political reasons.’ I said, ‘No, people love dogs! That's what that is.’ He said ‘Oh yeah, OK, that true.’ I’m telling you, it happened!

At one point we were walking through his amazing — it is an amazing tour of the whole house. And I don't remember exactly what we were talking about but it must have been something with the 2020 election because I know he used the word ‘lost’, and I distinctly remember saying, ‘Wow, I never thought I'd hear you say that.’ He d
