  • WTW105: A 2019 DSA Convention Was a Little Weird and Now Bill Maher Can't Possibly Support Mamdani
    2025/12/16

    Part 3 (and final!) of this terrible New Rules segment from Bill Maher last month.

    Maher attempts to go after socialism in America and the Democratic Socialists organization, and comes up with WILD examples. Reminder - this is all in an effort to scare people away from Zohran Mamdani. We tackle some debunks here related to the DSA platform and city-run grocery stores, and end the series with knocking down his characterization of a DSA convention that he had time traveled to in order to use the most ridiculous example he could come up with.

  • WTW104: Bill Maher Tries Comedy. It Doesn't Go Well.
    2025/12/09

    Part 2 of the latest Bill Maher debunk.

    Well, we couldn't help ourselves and this part mainly focuses on how unbelievably terrible Maher's "comedy" is. We also do a little debunking along the way, but the bulk of the remaining debunking is going to have to come in, that's right, part 3. We tried. We tried to make it only 2 parts but he's just so... dumb.

  • WTW103: You'll Never Guess What Bill Maher and the NYT Think Democrats Should Do
    2025/12/05

    Sorry, wokies. Guess we have to close up shop. Bill Maher and The New York Times have said that the Left needs to moderate. Thomas guides us through the ridiculous source material that takes this position and we get plenty of debunks along the way!

    Also, chime in: Should we do a recurring Bill Maher segment? And: Is Maher Thomas's arch nemesis?

    Of course we barely scratched the surface, so we'll be back soon with additional parts on this one!

    2025/11/24

    Part 1. We dive headfirst into stories in which a teacher's First Amendment rights appear to have been violated. It seems clear to us how wrong this all is after reading the complaint, but how will these cases play out in court?
