Is this the most outrageous Trump-related Tweet to come out of Hollywood so far?
The #resistance has no greater friend than Joss Whedon.
The director of The Avengers is one of Hollywood’s most vocal critics of the Trump administration. He did all he could to stop the real estate mogul from becoming president.
He directed the infamous “Save the Day” voter PSAs from 2016. Whedon leaned on his celebrity rolodex to caution voters against Trump. The star-studded ad featured Robert Downey, Jr., Don Cheadle, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and other A-list actors.
Now, he uses Twitter to warn the masses about potential abuses of presidential power … and more. It hasn’t always gone smoothly.
A few weeks ago he admitted the fight against Team Trump had left him “broken.” Since then, he’s resumed his political messaging. Thursday's Tweet, though, could be his most aggressive statement yet.
He linked to a story about gay people reportedly being killed simply for their sexual preference.
Authorities in the southern Russian republic of Chechnya have reportedly kidnapped dozens of gay men in the past month and killed at least three as part of an roundup ordered against LGBT people there.
As horrific as that sounds, Whedon suggests it could soon be worse for gay people stateside.
For the record, Trump has been more open to the LGBT community than other GOP leaders. He reportedly appointed an openly gay man, Rick Grenell, as a NATO ambassador. He leans on adviser Peter Thiel, the openly gay co-founder of PayPal. And Trump told CBS late last year he was “fine” with same-sex marriage being legal in the U.S.
Where do people come up with this $#!+?
They are doing a good enough job on that themselves.
“Robert Downey, Jr., Don Cheadle, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and other A-list actors.”
If this is the A list, Hollywood is dead!!
AIDS beat him to it.
Joss, you gotta stop huffing that paint thinner.
It’s affecting your thinking skills.
Next step; chronic and acute paranoia!
Why is it that the first thing gay people want me to know about them is that they are gay.
I love women but its not the first thing I want you to know about me.
We need to take back our rainbow !
He is like most H-wood types.
Competant at his trade, a total imbecile with everything else.
Whedon is unhinged. I’m glad the Russo brothers will be directing Avengers 3 and 4. Winter Soldier and Civil War are two of the best action movies ever made.
I knew it! This was President Trump’s plan all along....
Like Ambassador Stevens.
Oh wait...that was Obama.
Joss Whedon to start killing straight people?
Yet another example of why admitted skill and proven accomplishments in one arena do not travel easily into another. Yes, both actors and politicians are skilled liars, yes both purvey imaginary visions as reality BUT politicians have to still run for re-elections against real opponents. Hillary probably thought the illusion was in her favor, but we voters proved her WRONG!
PS: if I had a penny for every prediction of a Trump-apocalypse, I could turn Guam upside-down!
Wheden went full Leftard. I’ll praise him for his libertarian years and Buffy and Angel and Firefly and Serenity...and ignore the rest.
Leftist liberal projection at its finest. It just shows what they would do to the opposition if they had the power to do so.
That’s why I thank The Lord every day we didn’t get Hilldabeast as president, as they would have been one step closer to attempting that scenario.

The atrocity that I see, inks him not being in a leather jacket that buckles in the back.
AIDS is one major reasons for ObamaCare, and its “pre-existing condition” coverage. Somewhere around 20+% of the US gay population is HIV+. They stay alive via an expensive drug regimen. Kill Obamacare, and a lot of gays are in trouble.
THAT is the hidden agenda.
They can’t argue the issues based on facts, so they drop little piles of feces on air and hope people eat them.
Someone in this scenario is working to ensure that more gay men are killed - and it ain't Trump.
