“The Iran war is now six months old. Trump says please keep it in perspective: It hasn’t taken nearly as long as Vietnam or Korea or getting home from Troy.” — Bill Maher

“Have you seen ‘The Odyssey’? Amazing that Hollywood has a movie this big, people going to see it at two in the morning. This is awesome. And if you haven’t seen it, it’s about a serial adulterer who gets stuck in a war that takes forever. Trump calls it the feel-good movie of the summer.” — Bill Maher

"Sarah Palin said, 'Obama lies, freedom dies.' And then she and Todd got on their snowmobile, road across the tundra, shooting anything they want with a machine gun.' But freedom is dead." –Bill Maher

"Whatever you think about Justice John Roberts, he is a serious jurist. His opinion ran 59 pages. Justice Ginsberg's opinion was 61 pages. The four dissenters, their opinion was 65 pages. Clarence Thomas -- 2 pages, and it was all about how nurses should have to look you in the eye during a sponge bath." –Bill Maher

"Could you imagine what Bush would have done if he had gotten bin Laden? I mean, this is a guy who played dress-up and landed on boats. If Bush had gotten bin Laden, he would have spent his whole second term in a Batman costume." –Bill Maher

The same as Disneyland (she looks at you like Vin Diesel looks at The Rock)

It's still all about this straight of Hormuz where we get all the oil. We need the oil,  and you know apparently this agreement we have we have to save face and not you know kill everybody in Iran by pretending that it's open, although it's kind of not. Iran is charging a toll it's $2 million to get in. The same as Disneyland. —Bill Maher

“Donald Trump seems to think that he can threaten to kill an entire civilization, then they’re going to be totally cool with it the next day. Let me put this in terms you might be able to understand, Mr President. Remember how you cheated on Melania with a porn star right after she gave birth to Barron, and now you guys sleep in separate bedrooms and she looks at you like Vin Diesel looks at The Rock? This is that type of situation; it’s not going away.” —Jimmy Kimmel

It's so annoying when your boss is disobedient (it's going to drive good people out of the fraud business)

"The House passed a bill where there's a tax now of 90% on the bonuses that these CEOs get. So, half the Republicans voted against this. They said this is exactly the kind of punitive taxation that's going to drive good people out of the fraud business." --Bill Maher

"Apparently Dick Cheney is coming out with a memoir, and he said during the second term, Bush stopped taking his advice. That has got to hurt. When the most gullible man in America stops buying your bulls**t. It's so annoying when your boss is disobedient." --Bill Maher

Flabby, Grabby and Stabby (diaper testing facility)

Donald Trump also had his second physical examination as president. Close call, during the rectal exam, this is serious, doctors thought they found something serious up there. Turns out it was just Sean Hannity. --Bill Maher

I hope everybody gets back to work. You know air traffic controllers, TSA agents, Coast Guard, Border Patrol. They're all working without pay, or what Trump calls running a business. --Bill Maher

Alan Dershowitz is one of the lawyers defending Trump at his impeachment trial. Dershowitz also defended Harvey Weinstein, O.J. Simpson and now Trump. Wow, think about that. Weinstein, O.J. and Trump. Flabby, Grabby and Stabby. —Bill Maher

"Today 47 million of the poorest Americans had their food stamp benefits way reduced. This is the same day we launched our new stealth destroyer, the $3 billion USS Zumwalt. This is a ship that is nearly invisible, unlike the poor, who are completely invisible. I say if we're going to make ships that are invisible, why build them at all? Why not just tell the Iranians they're there?" –Bill Maher

"Anthony Weiner did not really exit in a very classy way. After his concession speech, as he was leaving, the press was taunting him, and they got a picture through the window of the car of him holding up his middle finger. At least we hope that was his middle finger." –Bill Maher

I read in the paper today, they said human beings were probably responsible for the wildfires. There goes my theory that it was freebasing raccoons. --Bill Maher

"They passed a bill banning public schools now from offering any courses in ethnic studies. It's funny, you know, they never say they're targeting Mexicans specifically, but I think we get that idea. Today they passed a bill that said beans can only be fried once." –Bill Maher

"Good news in the oil situation. BP said they found a way to start breaking up their oil slick. The bad news is it involves a toxic chemical called Corexit 9527A. Apparently this is moving us further from a solution and closer to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." –Bill Maher

if Joe Biden was a balcony I wouldn't step out on him for a smoke (the transition from medical marijuana to recreational marijuana)

I'm sorry to leave you for two months but I need a break. It has been very stressful. This is the time of year when I make the transition from medical marijuana to recreational marijuana. --Bill Maher

The horse race it's not looking too good for President Biden. He’s now losing to all three of the top Republican contenders and there is something very bad politically looming for him next week. His birthday. He’s going to be 81 and we've never had a president who's 81. It doesn't mean he can’t do it, I'm just saying, I like the guy, but I'm just saying that if Joe Biden was a balcony I wouldn't step out on him for a smoke. —Bill Maher

Not one decent cell in his body (See, this is why Hillary destroyed her server with a hammer)

“In one email, Jeffrey Epstein wrote, ‘I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body.’ Oh, it’s gotta hurt when Jeffrey Epstein calls ‘you’ a bad guy. That’s like an airport muffin accusing you of being dry.” — Stephen Colbert

Trump is demolishing the east wing of the White House. And he says he won't stop until he finds those Epstein files. —Bill Maher

In other news, during a White House press conference on Monday, Trump claimed that a cameraman hit a mirror with a piece of equipment. Luckily, no one in his administration casts a reflection. —Seth Meyers

After Trump praised the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, during a press conference on Monday, Albanese said that he would use clips of those compliments in 2028 campaign ads. “So will I, said his opponent.” —Seth Meyers

“But this Kimmel situation does feel like a turning point, and not because comedians are important, but because we are not. If the government can force a network to pull a late-night show off the air and do so in plain view, it can do a [expletive] of a lot worse.” — John Oliver

“First, he’s calling on the attorney general to prosecute his political foes whether there’s evidence of a crime or not. That’s a pretty big deal. Also, yeah. Also, he reviewed ‘statements and posts’? Does that mean he just read the internet?” — Stephen Colbert

Jerry Falwell, Jr. is in trouble. Apparently his wife was having an affair with the pool boy and allegedly Falwell would watch them having sex from the corner of the room. He says he did not have sex himself with the pool boy. He's an evangelical. He's not a snake handler. —Bill Maher

And he misspelled chair (America's taint)

"President Obama went to Ground Zero. He went up in the new skyscraper being built in the shadow of the World Trade Center, and he inscribed one of the steel beams. He wrote, 'We remember, we rebuild, we come back stronger.' Which was very poignant, especially since Bush had written on it, 'We got hit, I sat in a chair, I peed my pants.' And he misspelled chair." –Bill Maher

This is no accident (People pretending to help people)

“Rush Limbaugh has lost so many advertisers that on Thursday there was five minutes on his show of dead air. And most observers agree he’s never been so eloquent. “–Bill Maher

"What happened is Mitt Romney had a rally where they bought $5,000 worth of canned goods from Wal-Mart, handed them out to their supporters, and then had their supporters pretend to be giving them to the victims for the cameras. Because that's what Mitt is all about -- people. People pretending to help people. Later on he gave blood, then stole it back and chugged it." –Bill Maher
