Bill Maher’s latest “Real Time” monologue plumps for a centric position between Peak Woke and Republican “full asshole”.  He goes after Trump’s Cabinet, including Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth, and also has a few choice words about Musk and Ramaswamy—all, he says, “a team of dicks.”

But he also makes fun of  patronizing “lawn sign” Democrats, which, he says, was tiresome to Americans (you know the lawn sign, and yes, it was a tiresome example of virtue signaling).  Also in his sights are land acknowledgements, acceptance of shoplifting, and denigration of standardized tests.

Maher is a classical liberal, so he’s not advocating, I think, for absolute centrism, but more centrism on the left than many people have.

The people on the panel (not shown this week) were attorney and journalist Aaron Parnas and Politico‘s Dasha Burns.

In case you’ve been in Mongolia and haven’t seen the Virtue Lawn Signs, here’s one from Signs of Justice. Every time I see one of these (yes, they’re still around), I have a moment of dyspepsia.

. . . and just for grins, here’s a Jewish Virtue lawn sign that I found on Facebook (h/t Melissa Steinberg Brodsky). Believe me, if you put one of these up it would be removed in a day, and you’d be demonized.
