Bill Maher’s Real Time with Bill Maher program on HBO has on multiple occasions poked fun at both sides of the political spectrum and offered a few quirky ideas on what’s happening outside of America. In light of Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine in an attempt to seize land and power, Maher decided to explain the situation as simple as possible — by using Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson.
During his opening monologue on Friday (February 25), Maher tried his best to explain the conflict through a pop culture lens, equating Ye to Russia, Kardashian to Ukraine and Davidson to NATO.
“It’s like Russia is Kanye,” Maher said around the 2:25 mark to laughs from the audience. “Ukraine is Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson is NATO, it just drives Russia crazy. Today they demanded Billie Eilish apologize to Travis Scott!”
In Maher’s view, Ukraine (Kardashian) wants to move on as an independent person and no longer wants to be tied to Russia (Ye). Currently, they want to be involved with NATO (Davidson), but due to misinformation across social media and various platforms, things have become difficult to the point where aggression is the only option for Russia. Or, in Ye’s example, boasting about “running” Davidson off from Instagram.
Kanye West's Estranged Wife Kim Kardashian Says There's 'No Way To Repair' Their Marriage
Despite Ye’s objections, his estranged wife doesn’t share his views for reconciliation, regardless of who he dates or not.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Kardashian is firm in her stance regarding the divorce petition and alleges Ye’s social media posts are a continued cause for her desire to be declared legally single.
“I very much want to be divorced,” Kardashian said in the docs. “Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress.” Her desire to keep their divorce matters private also hasn’t been met.
“While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage,” she continued. “Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not.”
Bill Maher is a small hat piece of shit y’all
Provably shouldn’t be making light of a country currently being invaded and it’s people killed as we speak. Oh haha you used Ye and Kim as an analogy, you’re so funny…….*yawn*
bill maher is a legend fuck all yall
If you live in the us and do not know about nato you better wake up because this conflict is no joke and the world geopolitics are at stakes as we speak.
who cares what dis racist pig got to say
dont think bill m is at all racist he was knocking off superhead at one point
Bill Maher’s ethnic ancestors starved millions of ukrainians to death during the russian revolution when the bolsheviks took over and confiscated the people’s crops and announced their money lost its value overnight etc. Lookup “holodomor” to learn more about it. It’s a genocide we aren’t taught at school, i guess since in this case, the “god’s chosen people” were the perpetrators and not the victims, unlike certain _alleged_ ww2 events that we keep hearing about over and over again “muh six million”
Honestly, neither of the subjects he is attempting to poke fun of as an analogy, are the least funny. As much I don’t care about the celebrity drama; it is about power and control against women. And the conflict between those two countries is killing people. That joke is completely inappropriate.
It’s all one big Hollywood script.. They are all friends, the end goal is to have a one world government, Russia China America, all in on it, this “war” is nothing more then a distraction.
