Bonus Bill – Ep. #462

Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series, Real Time with Bill Ma.

So this is America, so let's start off with what the important issue of the week is, which is a TV star got fired for tweeting.

So her show was canceled after a series of tweets that were rife with racism and conspiracy theories and personal attacks.

Yes, on the upside, she has been just hired onto Trump's legal team.

So she's...

But yeah, Roseanne said it was the ambient.

Did you see that?

It was the ambient tweeting.

If she would just stick to the drugs that I send her, I think we'd all be...

But no, it was a series of tweets.

She started out saying,

see, this is where it's sad.

You know, saying Chelsea Clinton was married to George Soros' nephew.

Completely not true, that George Soros was a Nazi who turned in his fellow Jews in the concentration camps.

I don't want to say this is tinfoil hat crazy shit.

But about three tweets in, Surrey interrupted and said, you know, you can Google this shit.

I mean, honestly, this is for people whose understanding of racial issues is on the level of, how come there's no White History Month?

So that's the big story.

Roseanne lost her show, and Trump said, big deal, I can't find Melania.

Have you seen that?

No one has seen the First Lady for 21 days.

We were wrong about Trump.

He's not Hitler.

He's Henry VIII.

He's, no.

But honestly, in the who's crazier, Roseanne or Trump category, it is kind of a toss-up.

I mean, Trump tweeted this week.

This is a quote, his tweet.

Not that it matters, but I never fired Comey because of Russia.

Corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing that narrative.

Okay, we're not saying that you fired Comey because of Russia because it's obviously true.

We're saying that because it's what you said you did.

And it's not like you to lie.

Trump's defense literally is, who are you going to believe, me or me?

But Donald Trump has much bigger things on his mind.

He held historic talks with Kim Kardashian.

Did you see that?

Oh, and his deal-making skills are as sharp as over.

She owns Texas now.

This was a meeting that was secretly arranged by Jared Kushner.

He contacted Kim using the back channel, like Ray J.

Yeah, that whole Michael Cohen thing is very confusing to Kim.

She thinks hush money is what you say when you don't want to wake up the money.
