Larry David Trolls Trump By Recreating His Georgia Mugshot On ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

This is the last season of Larry David’s brilliant HBO comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and the show is going out with a major bang based on the first episode which aired Sunday.

The episode, “Atlanta,” mocks new election laws in the state of Georgia which make it a crime for anyone to provide water to voters who are standing in line to cast a ballot in the Peach State.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

 “At the end of the episode, David was arrested for inadvertently breaking state law by providing water to a friend waiting in line to vote. ‘I was just being cordial!’ David screams as he’s dragged away.”

Executive producer Jeff Schaffer noted that the episode was shot in Atlanta around the same time disgraced former president Donald Trump was forced to show up for booking and a mugshot.

“Trump gets caught with one of his many hands in one of the many cookie jars, and I remember just walking in and I said to Larry, ‘This is crazy. You’re in Atlanta, he’s in Atlanta, you just got arrested. Let’s do this!’ We had to wait until the strike was over to even be able to shoot Larry looking like our former Oompa Loompa. So it came completely afterwards.”

Here’s David’s mugshot:

WATCH: ABC Cuts JD Vance’s Mic When He Starts Spouting Bullsh*t

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) had his mic muted and interview ended when he began lying and spouting bullshit during a Sunday appearance on This Week with host George Stephanopoulos.

Stephanopoulos asked Vance about comments he’d made in a 2021 interview in which he declared, “I think that what Trump should do, like if I was giving him one piece of advice, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people, and when the courts, because you will get taken to court, and then when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say the Chief Justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.”

 “Fire everyone in the government, then defy the Supreme Court,” “You said every civil servant in the administrative state,”said. “Do you think it’s okay for the President to defy the Supreme Court?”

“No, no, George, I did not say fire everyone in the government,” Vance insisted. “I said replace the mid-level bureaucrats with people who are responsive to the administration.”

“You said every civil servant in the administrative state,” Stephanopoulos noted.

“Let me finish the answer,” Vance replied. “If those people aren’t following the rules, then, of course, you’ve got to fire them, and, of course, the president has to be able to run the government as he thinks he should.”

“The Constitution also says the president must abide by legitimate Supreme Court rulings, doesn’t it?” Stephanopoulos inquired.

“You’re talking about a hypothetical where the Supreme Court tries to run the military,” Vance said. “I don’t think that’s gonna happen, George, but, of course, if it did, the president would have to respond to it.”

“You didn’t say military in your answer, and you’ve made it very clear,” the ABC host countered. “You believe the president can defy the Supreme Court.”

“No, no, no, no, George.”

Vance’s mic was cut at that point and the program went to another segment.

J.D. Vance, like almost every member of today’s GOP, is a hack who would gladly approve of a right-wing president ruling the United States like a modern-day Caesar. And that alone is reason enough to vote them all out.

Republicans Furious With James Comer For His Biden Impeachment Inquiry: ‘A Jumbled Mess’

House Republicans thought they had the perfect way to counter the seemingly endless legal problems confronting former president Donald Trump: Open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and pursue removal from office as the 2024 election draws closer by the day.

Now, however, two months after the inquiry began, many in the GOP are calling the investigation “a jumbled mess” and blaming House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who is leading the effort, according to CNN.

“The prospect of their inquiry not culminating in impeachment has prompted some internal frustration among Republicans, with finger-pointing already underway in GOP circles about what went wrong — and who is to blame — even as the Republican-led committees continue to push on with their probe.”

“Some of the ire has been directed at House Oversight Chairman James Comer, who has spearheaded the investigation into Biden family business records.”

The House Republican caucus currently has a narrow margin of two votes, which means they would need unanimity from their members if and when a vote for impeachment goes to the floor.

Some in the GOP, however, are already suggesting they won’t vote to impeach Biden given the scant “evidence” that’s been assembled by Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), a member of the right-wing Freedom Caucus who was also involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, noted, “I don’t know that the case has been made adequately to the American people” to impeach Biden. And a GOP insider echoed those remarks, commenting, “You’d be hard-pressed to say it’s going well. It’s a jumbled mess.”

The crux of the so-called case against President Biden is that he allegedly accepted bribes from foreign countries that did business with his son, Hunter Biden. But there hasn’t been a shred of credible evidence presented to prove such an allegation.

All of this begs the question as to whether or not the real goal of Republicans is to keep issuing subpoenas in the hope the White House will accidentally fail to release every document requested which would then serve as the pretext for charging the president with obstruction of justice regarding a crimes that have yet to be proven.

In other words, it’s just election-year politics, but the waste of time and taxpayer money could wind up backfiring badly on the GOP and costing them control of both houses of Congress while also reelecting Biden for a second term.

Sean Hannity Tries To Coax Taylor Swift To Join The GOP – And Fails Miserably

Fox News host Sean Hannity says he’s convinced that Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift is only a Democrat because she believes “lies” about Republicans and would probably support the GOP if she knew all the facts.

According to Hannity, “Maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans that they’re racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic. And Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water and a total ban on all abortions with no exceptions. If she believes all that, she is believing a lie.”

So where are the so-called lies? Republicans have repeatedly shown they are bigoted and unaccepting of anyone the least bit different from them. They have also passed numerous laws to restrict a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices. The “lies” Hannity whines about aren’t untrue in the least. They’re facts.

It didn’t take long before social media users pounced, slamming Hannity and his bullshit.
