The Drill SGT said...: they would have better spent the time learning regional BBQ. At Half Moon, learn about grilled Tri-tip, with Frijoles Charros; 6/1/25, 9:40 AM
FullMoon said...: Funny clip.
Half Moon Bay is where some friends, high on acid, attempted to steal an airplane.
Fortunately, failed.; 6/1/25, 9:50 AM
Jamie said...: I'm not where I can listen to the clip yet - will do so in a little bit.

But my husband tells me that that bag of bombast Chenk Uyger is furious about this initiative - that he recognizes that they're going to get to the end of the consultancy that they're commissioning and will sound utterly inauthentic (again). My husband also tells me that there's an acronym, which of course is the hallmark of authentic manliness.; 6/1/25, 9:52 AM
Big Mike said...: The effing Dumbocrats may want to do “Gorillas in the Mist” with American men, but I’ll be damned if I let any liberal buddies attempt to habituate themselves on my property.; 6/1/25, 9:52 AM
Joe Bar said...: They keep looking at the appearance they present. It's not the medium, it's the message.; 6/1/25, 9:57 AM
Achilles said...: The last thing that Democrats will actually do is go ask American Men what they actually want.

But Republicans did the same thing to Republican voters.

The issue is that the Democrat Party is only concerned about what they want and about how to get it. They only care about power and stealing money.

They don't care about the people they want to steal from which is why they are having their problems right now.

Democrats are just terrible garbage people .; 6/1/25, 9:58 AM

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...: Democrats aren't going to get anywhere with American men until they rip a few planks out of their platform. That will be a problem for them if they choose to do so because it will drive off the AWFL's, who have to feel like they've achieved Oppression Supremacy.; 6/1/25, 10:02 AM
Peachy said...: Link does not work - could be too many hits.

Here is a link:

Funny - but of course Maher has to end it by insulting JD Vance and Ted Cruz.; 6/1/25, 10:09 AM
Peachy said...: I did laugh hardest at the Pickleball joke.
wow do I hate pickleball.; 6/1/25, 10:09 AM
Achilles said...: I prefer my face with a bit of facial hair and it is received better that way.

I don't have the round head cherub face problem those guys have. The best thing they could all do is lose 20 pounds.; 6/1/25, 10:09 AM
FormerLawClerk said...: As long as people like Jake Tapper exist, the Democrats are toast. I'm glad he was sitting at that table as the face of the Democrat Party.; 6/1/25, 10:12 AM
Mary Beth said...: My husband also tells me that there's an acronym, which of course is the hallmark of authentic manliness.

It's mentioned in the video - SAM. It stands for Speaking with American Men. If I ever have to refer to it, it will be as "SWAM".; 6/1/25, 10:13 AM
Ampersand said...: The Dems will always have the votes of men who are ashamed of themselves. They just found out that, despite the best efforts of the media and educational system, not enough men are ashamed of being male.; 6/1/25, 10:16 AM

The only core constituency left to democrats is Karen and Leticia so it isn't just AWFL. More like AFL.

Everyone hates Karen and Leticia. Karen and Leticia get their jollies off nagging everyone around them.

This is the culmination of the Feminist movement. They have forsaken the nuclear family and prefer to whore themselves out to elite men as harem girls for 10-15 years and spend the rest of the time belittling and attacking the other 80% of men.

They do this from jobs like HR manager and University admin/professor. Some get jobs as teachers in public education and torture young boys in schools.

One of key reforms that needs to be made is we need to glorify the mother again. Women are the only people who can have kids and continue the species. The people that decided they should seek careers and go to college first want to end the human race.; 6/1/25, 10:18 AM
n.n said...: Men, women, and our Posterity are from Earth. Feminists are from Venus. Masculinists are from Mars. Social progressives are from Uranus. Democrats are jackasses with a fetus(h).; 6/1/25, 10:20 AM

The consultants who set up the lobster tail retreat get paid big bucks to leave the W out of an acronym.; 6/1/25, 10:23 AM
Skeptical Voter said...: Well the Dems have hired that queer plus size Latina Olivia Julianni or whatever her name is; pair her with Dylan Mulvaney and take the average. Maybe that will work. OTOH they could look in American churches--yesterday's Wall Street Journal had a long and interesting story about young men returning to church. But I don't think the Dims would actually go look in a church to find these young men. Some things are just so awful that a Democrat won't do them.; 6/1/25, 10:29 AM
Tacitus said...: SAM = Surface to Air Missile.
Maher has a mumbly sort of delivery, so when he said "They had some seminars", I thought he said "feminars". Maybe I should write for him.....; 6/1/25, 10:31 AM
Randomizer said...: The Democrats are too ambitious. American men are at the bottom of the grievance pyramid. Democrats should first learn how to talk to JK Rowling. She is a solid Progressive with only one heresy.

After that, try talking to liberals, like Bill Maher and Joe Rogan, who are not part of Trump's administration.; 6/1/25, 10:38 AM
Temujin said...: I am often reminded by other politicians, of the time wannabe politician, Christine O'Donnell, was found to have tinkered in witchery, and as such had to come out to declare during her campaign that she was not a witch. And of course, when one has to declare they are not a witch, they've already lost.

Democrats are out there making their own declaration that they have no idea who American men are, how to talk to them, how to reach them, what the f*** to do with them ('we can't kill them, we can't just make them disappear- though we've tried').

When you're having multiple podcasts, articles written, conferences, and consultations to figure out how to talk to men, you've already lost.

I am not a witch."; 6/1/25, 10:40 AM
n.n said...: Braying American Genders? BAG is equivocal and inclusive.; 6/1/25, 10:41 AM

Dagwood said...: I'm surprised the dems still haven't consulted the Crane brothers on this.; 6/1/25, 10:45 AM
loudogblog said...: The Democrat war on men has been going on for a while now.

For example: It's a pretty good bet that most people in the advertising industry are probably Democrats and just look at the way that white men are portrayed in most commercials. White men are usually presented as knuckleheads.; 6/1/25, 10:45 AM
n.n said...: Perhaps they could perform a human rite for social, clinical, criminal, political, and climate progress to decapitate their "burden" h/t Obama. Let us bray.; 6/1/25, 10:46 AM
n.n said...: War of the worlds... uh, words.; 6/1/25, 10:47 AM
Lawnerd said...: Dems aren’t going anywhere until they admit it’s the message and not the delivery. This speaking to men bullshit is another take on delivery, the unwanted message stays the same.; 6/1/25, 10:47 AM
Original Mike said...: There are a lot of things in life you can't fix by "talking". Men don't want what the democrats are selling.; 6/1/25, 10:48 AM
Aggie said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 6/1/25, 10:58 AM
Achilles said...: This is a good example of how to talk to men.

There is a generation of gamer men who are meeting and discussing politics on channels like this.

Asmongold calls Trump the content presidency. He gets millions of views on videos where he reacts to Trump's political actions.

To be successful in politics a party is going to have to have candidates that can perform in this capacity. Candidates like Desantis or Hillary or Romney or Harris are history. They cannot connect to voters because they are just not genuine people.; 6/1/25, 11:02 AM

GatorNavy said...: Dagwood, don’t forget to include Niles and Fraser Crane’s father.; 6/1/25, 11:44 AM
Maynard said...: Let's face it. The Democrat Party is the party of socialism and Big Government.

Once they get rid of the tranny crap and open border/defend the illegals, the union guys who want socialism will vote for them again.

The Democrats will have a Bill Clinton fake moderate as their 2028 candidate. He will have the new version of Sistah Soldjah well packaged and ready to go.

I would bet on Governor Hair Gel as the candidate. He will be lauded in the extreme by the DNC media.; 6/1/25, 11:45 AM
William50 said...: First they would have to admit that real men cannot have babies and don't use tampons. That will never happen.; 6/1/25, 11:48 AM
Jaq said...: Here is what is working against the Democrats. It's way easier for the right to go left on economics than it is for the left to go right on culture.; 6/1/25, 11:51 AM
GatorNavy said...: Because, Maher hasn’t reproduced, but has paid for abortions like many of that ‘smart’ set of his peers, he and his peers are missing a larger point; young adults such as my son are rejecting anything feminist, totalitarian, republican and democrats. This statistically significant portion of the male population also includes race, financials and geography, both urban and rural. The conclusion is that while the democrats are doomed, the Republicans are not far behind as they are lazy listeners as well.; 6/1/25, 11:51 AM
Jupiter said...: "just look at the way that white men are portrayed in most commercials. "
There are still commercials? Where do they show them?; 6/1/25, 12:01 PM
West TX Intermediate Crude said...: Democrats are easy to make fun of, and it feel good to point out that their core voters are AWFLs and various victims and soy boys, etc.
From their perspective, they know that, despite that, their extremely weak candidate received 48.3% of the popular vote, vs 49.8% for Trump. Only 65% of the voting age population actually voted. They don't have to do all that much to change the outcome of the next election if they game it right.
I know that it's the electoral college that counts, and CA and NY and IL make up a large part of the D popular vote, but we will be well advised to not take anything for granted.
They may be ridiculous, but there are a lot of them.; 6/1/25, 12:06 PM
Two-eyed Jack said...: Joy Behar on The View said that the $20 million would have been better spent teaching men not to be misogynists. I think the $20 million should just have been set on fire in a boat on Half-moon Bay. A sort of viking-funeral-type thing.; 6/1/25, 12:06 PM

I disagree. That's exactly what she thinks and intends. However, Joy doesn't turn men into misogynists, she turns them into realists.; 6/1/25, 12:13 PM

Nancy and Paul Pelosi will personally donate a check for $100,000 to the burning boat.; 6/1/25, 12:24 PM

Jimmy said...: "The conclusion is that while the democrats are doomed, the Republicans are not far behind as they are lazy listeners as well."
exactly. Republicans aren't listening to anyone but their financial advisor, totaling up all the corruption they get.
Its been decades since feminists, university karens, and Dem party apparatchiks decided boys shouldn't be masculine. so they medicated boys, taught them to be ashamed of being white and masculine, and then encouraged them to become girls.
both parties, and our 'wonderful' legal system sat back and applauded like trained monkeys.
And while the right is feeling all smug about the supposed death of the Dem party- the last election was close, with a drunken hag like Harris leading the ticket.
The mid terms are going to be a blood bath for republicans, and they are too fucking stupid to notice how angry Trump voters are with them.; 6/1/25, 12:32 PM
Mary Beth said...: American men have experienced devaluing and discarding from the Democrats, now they should prepare for the hoovering/love bombing.

The best part is, you will be the one called "toxic" if you don't let them suck you back in.; 6/1/25, 12:44 PM
Bob Boyd said...: I have questions.
Will men be brought into the victim hierarchy?
Even those nasty pale ones?
Where do men fit into the victim hierarchy?
Won't they expect to be at the top where they're accustomed to being in our perverse society?
Who victimized them? Their fathers, now dead?
Will Dems lose the crucial dead voters?
Will they need another strategy called Speaking With The Dead?
And if men are victims now too, who victimized all the other victims?
Won't all the other victims be pissed?
When will they get their justice? After the Dems get power back then the men will be made to pay? Or will they get off scot-free?; 6/1/25, 12:49 PM

Breezy said...: This is so weird. One of our vaunted political parties, which supposedly has cream of the crop politicians within it, has no clue how to actually do politics. (I mean, aren’t a lot of them Harvard educated?) Even kids in middle school running for class president know you need to have an agenda before you figure out how to sell it.

The Dems are so lost. They don’t even deign to do the policy part of the job. They only care about the base building, aka money contributing, part.; 6/1/25, 1:10 PM

It would have been better spent teaching Joy Behar not to be a toxic bitch. It wouldn't have worked, but at least they'd have given it the old college try.; 6/1/25, 1:38 PM

Democrats do have an agenda. Unfortunately for them, most sane people reject and are repulsed by it. How do you make horseshit (or worse) sound appealing? Without lying about it, I mean?; 6/1/25, 2:01 PM

Allowing Karen to vote has had terrible results.; 6/1/25, 2:15 PM

Actually, if they used the money to purchase a $20 million boat and blow it up at Half-moon Bay, that would impress many men most favorably.; 6/1/25, 2:57 PM

I'm glad he's mocking it but he really isn't funny.
*************
I find myself shaking my head when someone makes a remark like that---it's like saying the Beatles really suck.

You have several millions of pople laughing their asses off listening to Maher over the years, and probably hundreds of millions who still listen to the Beatles (my 30-ish sons among them), and an unknown Nancy comes here to set us all straight.

Spiros said...: The Democrats can't win back men. We don't care about the plight of women, African Americans, Native Americans or any other of the supposedly oppressed minority groups.

What we want is an end to political corruption, runaway wealth and economic malfeasance. We care about loosening social mores, unhealthy processed foods and the onrush of foreign immigration from the Third World. We care about environmental destruction, the outbreak of political radicalism (especially among college students) and the never ending wars in the Middle East. We care about these things notwithstanding our desire to get laid (that bit of BS thanks to the unbelievably unqualified David Hogg).; 6/1/25, 3:22 PM
effinayright said...: In an episode of The White Lotus, Season 2, a young women working as a PA for a billionaire bitch longs for a better life, including meeting some interesting men.

She's approached by a tall, good-looking Stanford grad, who seems "nice", but you can tell she's not really into him----especially when he spouts some woke nonsense during dinner.

Then she meets a strapping English bloke, complete with a workingman's accent, an upbeat attitude, a grin, and friendly-but-aggressive approach toward her.

From her smiling, glowing face as she talks to him you can see she's gradually smitten. Within a day or so they're in the sack, enjoying themselves immensely.

Maybe the Dems could take heed from such dramatizations to better understand "real" men.

Free clue: skip the "nice" Stanford types. They've already bent the knee, both knees, to you.; 6/1/25, 3:27 PM

Even more than that, they'd prefer to skip the elections and just install the "leaders" they want. See: Recent Democrat presidential primaries- voters not needed.; 6/1/25, 5:08 PM

Leland said...: I heard of the initiative and thought it crazy. I’m certain Maher’s team made up the jokes at the end like a Letterman top 10 list. However, I don’t know what to think about the description of where and how the committee met. I can totally believe it happened as described. It is just too on the nose for what is wrong with the Democrat Party, that it must be a joke too.

6/1/25, 12:06 PM

Get outta here. The obsession with insisting that President Trump got less than 50% of the vote is why Democrats inflated the Harris vote count in the weeks after the election. The NPC brigade will shriek, of course, but the reliance on corruption is why the Rats are having such a hard time now that they are out of power. No one should tolerate people who amplify the fraud: votes counted 3 days after the election have zero legitimacy.; 6/2/25, 3:59 AM
