Trump’s star could be voted off Walk of Fame
By Joe Tacopino
The West Hollywood City Council is reportedly planning a vote to remove President Trump’s star from the Walk of Fame.
In the resolution, which will be voted on Monday night, West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tem John D’Amico and Councilwoman Lindsey Horvath urge the city of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove the marker, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country,” the resolution states.

I thought I read over the weekend they were discussing removing all of the stars? Very bad if they remove a sitting president. Boycott city and their businesses would be response?
Maybe they should instead take steps to protect them? Maybe throw in jail people that attack them? Charge and convict them of felonies. Leave them in jail.
If they go to the step of voting it off...I think a public declaration of avoiding ‘Hollywood-city’ ought to put up and we just boycott place. It seems like they also need to be sent a ‘message’.
Already voted, it’s gone - per Twitter.
I’d have replaced it with one having reactive armor.
I doubt they would remove all the stars as that’s a major tourist attraction but I have no doubt they would remove Trumps being that it’s Hollywood.
Are you serious? They already voted on it? They are actually removing it?
Yep, you’re right...........

“BREAKING: West Hollywood City Council voted unanimously to remove President Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, says the mayor. It will now make a formal recommendation for its removal to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce”
Real reason: for being a conservative Republican.
I’m surprised his star hasn’t been removed already, the political climate being what it is.
Hollywood should be careful, once you start making ‘Purity Tests’ a prerequisite of having a star on that walk, you may find almost NOBODY qualifies.
If one is intent on finding dirt on anybody, they will find something that comes close to dirty. None of us is pure. In fact, I thought that very quality of excessive hedonism and always being the libertine was what set A STAR apart from us average ticket buyers.
We have been living vicariously through this Wild Bunch for decades, going all the way back to John Barrymore, Theda Bara and Hedy Lammar.
It’s just another way to disrespect Trump. Maybe they will remove a couple more stars like Bill Cosby’s to make it look legit. But nothing Trump did will even compare to what they did. Hollywood is a den of iniquity. They would have to remove half the stars on the street, just for starters.
“Maybe they should instead take steps to protect them?”
Big fat chance there. Nice, common sense thought, though.

Official: Bill Cosby’s Walk of Fame star will not be removed
They make very, very little I actually want to see.
And they get no money from me.
Hes not even a comservative republican.
He just prevented Hillary and the uniparty from their expected coronation.
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has no plans to remove Walk of Fame stars amid sexual misconduct scandals
Amid the scandals surrounding celebrities like Kevin Spacey and Brett Ratner, both of whom have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Yahoo reached out to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to find out whether there are plans or internal discussions around potentially removing the stars for anyone who has been accused of sexual misconduct. A rep for the group referred Yahoo to a 2015 statement issued after a petition for the removal of Bill Cosby’s star was circulated, saying it’s still their most recent statement on the subject.
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has received inquiries asking whether we are planning to remove the stars of Walk of Famers because of alleged misconduct. The answer is no,” said Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.”
Several things: first, this is just an empty resolution by West Hollywood, which has no power over either Hollywood or the City of Los Angeles. Second, if they really want to perform their political cleansing of the Walk of Fame, they would need to remove a great many of the stars there - I think it would be instructive and enlightening for the nation to see how much of Hollywood’s past today’s leftist fanatics are willing to scrub away. Third, the Walk of Fame is a registered historical landmark - I doubt they could get away with removing any stars from it.
Thanks for posting the actual tweet with the link.
Maybe the Chamber of Commerce has a little more sense and won’t approve it.
I hope that their dicks all rot and fall off.
