.@billmaher LBJ the most qualified president ever & he took us into Viet Nam. Bush was Gov of Tx & Cheney Sec of DOD & they took us into Iraq. Don’t agree with your “qualifications” argument. Experience at what was is not always the best qualification for creating what could be

The experience they're referring to--is experience in compromising their morals in order to maximize profits for private interest groups, donors, and corporations at the cost of human life & human rights.

Bill is a professional wrong person. He has constant bad takes and promotes known liars only to claim to have taken them down after sucking up to them. He has also promoted rape culture since politically incorrect in the 90s .

We were in Vietnam before LBJ became president, he just turned it into a war. And yes, bad experience is bad. Why are so many presidents decent on domestic policy but war criminals otherwise?

Politics isn’t brain surgery, experience isn’t necessary

Were you not aware that we were involved in Vietnam before LBJ? Your point would be stronger if your statement were factually accurate.

LBJ had no choice, he'd just witnessed his boss get his skull blown apart in broad daylight in front of the world for daring to oppose the war machine. Maybe he would have gone full hawk anyway, but at least he knew how to whip votes and get meaningful domestic policy passed

Replying to @marwilliamson
@billmaher has always been a colonialist jerk. He sees superiority everywhere he looks because he is possibly the biggest narcissist on TV... and that’s saying something.
