Frasi di Bill Maher

pagina 5

“È un pazzo. Se un non-ricco o un non-bianco avesse detto le cose che ha detto lui non lo avrebbero messo alla Casa Bianca, lo avrebbero rinchiuso nell'ospedale Bellevue.”

“Donald Trump è come l'Ebola: ti uccide all'improvviso e con violenza. Cruz è come il virus Zika: non si vedono i danni se non con le future generazioni. Donald Trump vuole costruire un muro per tenere fuori i loschi stranieri. Ted Cruz è la prova che ne abbiamo bisogno. […] Ma la differenza più importante tra i due è questa: Donald Trump è l'uomo più permaloso nella storia dell'essere umano e reagisce al minimo sgarbo con il grilletto sensibile dell'ego ferito di un'assistente di volo. Al contrario Ted Cruz è immune agli insulti perché ha imparato a vivere in un mondo in cui tutti, dappertutto, lo hanno sempre odiato.”

“Non mi aspetto che tutti rinuncino a mangiare carne, penso non sia realistico, ma sarebbe importante far capire alla gente che la carne non è qualcosa che devono mangiare per stare in salute, ogni giorno, come fanno adesso.”

“Avete notato che nessuno è migliore di Donald Trump nel fare le cose? […] È la versione bianca di Kanye West. Vorrei che un giornalista gli facesse una domanda sull'umiltà cosicché per una volta io possa sentire "Nessuno è meglio di me nell'essere umile!"”

“Conteggio finale voti Brexit: 48% ragione e sentimento, 52% orgoglio e pregiudizio.”

“Mi ricordi una versione giovane, gay e ancora viva di Christopher Hitchens.”

“There isn’t just one true opinion. I’m a free speech guy. Now, I’m Team Dave Chappelle, but that doesn’t mean I’m anti-trans. We can have two thoughts in our head at the same time.”

“Words have meaning, but not anymore. And when I hear 'transphobic,' 'phobic' has a meaning: Fear. I'm not transphobic if I merely disagree with you. It's not hate.”

“Word inflation is a problem. You can try to change reality by changing the words, but you can’t. It just stops you from dealing with it. One of the bad guys in Nineteen Eighty-Foursays, ‘The whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought.’ It’s Orwellian, and Orwell never ends well.”

“Social justice warriors who are fond of governing by hashtag like to say that silence is violence. And we know that because it rhymes.”

“Just resume living. I know some people seem to not want to give up on the wonderful pandemic, but you know what? It’s over. There’s always going to be a variant. You shouldn’t have to wear masks.”

“We have to get back to life. I mean, you might look at the sporting events that are … all three sports are playing now including basketball, which is inside. Nobody seems to be having super-spreader events. I mean, you know, it was great. It was so much fun having a pandemic but, you know, buh-bye.”

“The world recognizes natural immunity. We don't, because everything in this country has to go through the pharmaceutical companies. Natural immunity is the best kind of immunity. We shouldn't fire people who have natural immunity because they don't get the vaccine. We should hire them. Yes?"”

“I travel in every state now, back on the road, and the Red states are a joy and the Blue states are a pain in the ass. For no reason.”

“Also, vaccine? Mask? Pick one! You've got to pick. You can't make me mask if I've had the vaccine.”

“This idea that we're not any gender when we're born is very new and very radical that you're born, it's just jump ball, you have a penis, it could mean you’re a boy That's a very new idea and I'm not sure if I'm down with all of it and I don't have to be.”

“Well, Okay. But you know, people who've had it – I've had it. I mean, I shouldn't be tested anymore. I got the vaccine.”

“Now, if we establish right here at the beginning that all three of us are supporters of all laws that protect trans people, that we believe in all the dignity, equality, and respect that can be afforded to trans people, can we have an honest, free discussion about this?”

“America may not be the country of your faculty lounge and Twitter dreams, but no one here tries to escape by hanging on to an airplane. No, we wait ‘til we get inside the plane to fight — and only because they cut off the beverage service.”

“If you think America is irredeemable, turn on the news or get a passport and a ticket on one of those sketchy airlines that puts its web address on the plane. There’s a reason Afghan mothers are handing their babies to us.”

“It exposed, I thought, a lot of aspects of this society we have which are not terribly positive — toxic masculinity, victim culture. Liberal hypocrisy, I think, was the big loser.”

“Every single person in America was talking about the sucker punch heard 'round the world. That whole 'Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth' didn’t really work out.”

“I don't know what happens when I die, and I don't care.”

“If ketchup had 1/20th of the carcinogens in a cigarette they'd rip it off the shelves tomorrow, so the government is full of shit when they tell you that they care about you.”

“We're so inconsistent about what we let kill ya. "Smoking? Must be eradicated. Marijuana? Zero tolerance." But there's lots of ways to kill yourself. You know what I think kills you? Stress, and being a workaholic, and never getting laid, and, uh, McDonalds, and staying mad at people, and lying for a living, and three-martini lunches, and the all-American breakfast, and whatever Elvis was doing. That's what kills you.”

“I wish someone would just start Fly At Your Own Risk Airlines. How 'bout that? You can have your hair gel, you can have your lighter, you can have a gun, how bout that? You can show up at the gate five minutes before the plane leaves, and pay in cash, like in the good ol' 1980s.”
