March 31, Bill Maher had dinner at the Whitehouse with Donald Trump, Kid Rock, and Dana White.

April 11, Bill Maher made an episode of his show glazing Trump. It was loaded with civility shit. He talked about how civil Trump is in person and how they agree on a lot of stuff.

Bill Maher is a right wing Zionist who identifies as a Democrat on his talk show.

April 21, Larry David (creator of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm) publishes a satirical story in NYT titled “My Dinner with Adolf”. It does not name Bill Maher directly but people have interpreted it to be mocking Bill Maher. https://archive.is/tNjw7

I think Larry David is a Bernie-crat. He’s met Bernie Sanders. Some articles say he has never been to Israel but some of the episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm seem pro-Israel. He might be a Liberal Zionist.

Yesterday, Bill Maher accuses Larry David of disrespecting the victims of the Holocaust by comparing Trump to Hitler.

    Larry David seems like the ultimate contrarian tbh. Like whoever is pissing him off atm he’s on the other side. His default is probably just NYC lib so i don’t think he’d ever become pro-trump, but I think he’d probably be a Zionist if like Ted danson decided to attend a pro Palestine rally

        iirc he is a supporter of israel, but in the episode he doesn’t choose to side with his jewish friends against the palestinians and literally rips a yarmulke off his friends head

          He plays a different version of himself but considering the tone of the episode, it’s pretty clear that the main cast of the show are zionists and Islamophobic

          It features half of the main cast protesting a Palestinian restaurant opening next door to a Jewish Deli and Larry being caught it the middle cause he really likes their chicken

            I thought Funkhauser was playing the hardcore Zionist and Larry and Jeff were making fun of him the whole episode?

            I do remember that scene, I don’t remember what it was about though. I thought it had something to do with him sleeping with the Palestinian girl

              And he describes it as "better than hate sex! It’s a whole other level! It’s the deny your right to exist sex!’

              Marty converted to Judaism and wouldn’t take off his kippah but the tone is both wrong place for it and also ragging on him for converting a week or so ago and going so hard. Their indifference is shown as the typical moral indifference they generally have in any episode. The tone is vehemently zionist.
