Trump, you need to watch out for those Aussies!

...................................................................................................................................................................
COMMENTS: 
*  It's much easier to attack the immigrants than those who hire them since most of them are rich white guys just like you right trump?
*  Bill makes a great point as usual - but he doesn't speak to the mind set of those who are excited by Trump and enjoy the bigotry and insults.
*  Trump proves that you do not need to be a politician to understand that to win you have to appeal to certain type of people. In his case it is people who hate something. They also fear change they do not understand. The problem is they are mostly white poor conseritives and they vote. The only way to defeat them is to out vote them.
*  Bill Maher nits the nail on its head when he points out that no one is "taking" our jobs. The biggest, baddest companies in the land, and that certainly includes Apple, have "given" away our jobs to make more money. Pure and Simple. So if you want to be angry with someone - like a corporate person - stop buying their products until they make them in this country and pay decent wages. Easy. But we are so used to not looking a where or how products are made, we ignore the facts. Our bad.
*  not a big fan of Maher, but I think he nailed it.
    *  He gets so much hate from both left and right, he must be absolutely on the ball.
*  The difference between liberal humor and conservative humor is that when liberals say funny things, they know that the things said are funny but when conservatives say funny things, they believe that the things said are serious.

Bill Maher Calls Out Donald Trump's Racism With Spot-On Monologue

What about all the Australians taking our jobs, Trump?

By Julia Brucculieri, September 13, 2015

Sometimes, in order to understand certain situations in life, you just need to look at them from a different perspective. If only Donald Trump knew that ...

In an attempt to get The Donald to look in the mirror and realize just how ridiculous his entire campaign has been thus far, Bill Maher decided to give him a little taste of the racism he's been spewing.

For his closing monologue on "Real Time" Friday night, Maher channeled the real estate mogul-turned-reality TV host-turned presidential candidate and called for Americans to rally against the growing number of Australians "taking" our jobs.

"Australia is not sending us its best people," he said. "They’re bringing drugs -- yes, enough for everybody, but still -- they’re rapists -- OK, not rapists, but they do a lot of fucking -- and I assume some are good people."

Maher also brought up the fact that Australians are even taking American film roles (read: Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman), and it just isn't fair.

But aside from the joking, the comedian had a serious point to make -- it's not undocumented workers Trump should be worried about, it's the people who continue to hire them. And if he really wants to rethink immigration, the employers might be a good place to start.

Watch the entire monologue below.
