They were far more gracious than your fucking husband, who left you at the curb to run in to the WH. They were also far more gracious than you and your fucking husband were to the Bidens, who got NO TRANSITION, and you and your fucking husband couldn't even bother attending his inauguration, you graceless fucking asshole. Fuck both of you.

Can't help but wonder if we'll be seeing more actions like this in the next few years.

OT: Trump appoints "Special Ambassadors" to....Hollywood?

In 1947, America had the Hollywood Ten, who refused to cooperate with fascism.
In 2025, America will have the Hollywood Three, who will eagerly collaborate.

I’m sorry but this has the flavor of a Stalinist move.
Goebbels and his boss were very fond of cinema.
So those John Birch Society inspired white power themed movies are going to be making a major come back.
That and/or McCarthy machinations.
The world has been waiting for the "Birth of a Nation" sequel for 100 years!
Can't wait to see how badly they flounder at the box office.
That's the thing about conservative "art". It's not just bad. It's BORING.
As is always the case with Trump and company, these are very unserious people.
There was a lot of union activity and resistance (including murders) among Filipinos in the Alaskan fishing industry a bit later. I wonder if there was cross-fertilization.

OMG
Trump Names Gibson, Voight, And Stallone As His “Special Ambassadors To Golden Age Of Hollywood”
https://www.joemygod.com/2025/01/trump-names-gibson-voight-and-stallone-as-his-special-ambassadors-to-golden-age-of-hollywood/
Who would have thought the actors are the most powerful people in Hollywood?
Does Jon Voight even know where he is most of the time?
Pardon me whilst I bolt into the bathroom and vomit violently.
Somewhere, Kevin Sorbo, Scott Baio, and James Woods are furiously phoning their agents.
Rob Schneider also too.
Yeah, James Woods will be incandescent.
Maybe he can literally be incandescent if he takes a walk in the hills
Adam Baldwin is repeatedly punching something. Hopefully Mike Cernovich.
Is this from the Onion?

OT: Nosferatu has settled?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/giuliani-far-no-show-court-173057814.html
"Giuliani settles with Georgia election workers over defamation payout"
So is that it? He can ponce around in his Floridian Fleapit and do slow-motion victory laps?
Settles for what? There’s no information about the amount of the settlement. And if he’s bankrupt already then where is the money coming from?
He also gets to keep his NY co-op. What the actual fuck.
Whaaaaaat? What nonsense is this?
The stinking, staggering drunk has bought his way out of trouble once again.
It's amazing what you can get away with in America when you can afford it.
As a farm kid, watching “Harvest of Shame” in J-school was *searing.* Not much has changed.

She is just gutter trash.
I'd like to see Melania and Michelle up close and personal. An honest dialogue, if you will.
I mean, the butler didn’t even have her favorite drink ready.
Eat shit, Melon.
Trash.Simply trash.
The Bidens were literally locked out of the White House when they tried to move in on 1/20/21.

I can barely hear you over the voices in my head. Who is this "Guy O'Teen" person?
Wow. Fuck off you *redacted redacted*

Those were much more innocent times.
For some reason I don't give a shit what some person who would voluntarily marry Donald Trump thinks.
It's a gig. Not a gig I'd take, but then; I have options.
Almost?
Yeah, don't listen to her toxic bullshit. She's no better than any of the rest of those shits.
Fix your hearts or die.
