Anti-Trump actor, and star of the “Dumb and Dumber” movie franchise...didn't realize he was a known anti-Trumper - he appeared as the guest presenter on TCM (which has gone noticeably and disgustingly leftwing lately) last Saturday to introduce "To Kill A Mockingbird" as the feature for the evening - lots of verbal diarrhea about how to play Atticus Finch, since apparently he is appearing in the Broadway version of the story as Atticus - finally got around to talking about "racism" and patronizingly saying that racism didn't appear first in the south - "it started when the pilgrims first stepped off the boats in New England and saw the Indians" - no, actually it started eons before that and continues today all over the world, jacka$$.....

At least Sunday evening he was apolitical and just talked about acting and the flick.

As for TCM... ugh. Saturdays now they Ava DuVernay as part of The Essentials program, which usually features pretty gold old flicks, but last week and this I skipped.

Last month they had Carl Bernstein co-introducing flicks about journalism.

And I seem to recall seeing ads that Anderson Pooper will also be appearing as a presenter.

Can't they just give us the old classics without this BS? Part of the joy of TCM is that the old flicks are totally un-PC.

“TCM (which has gone noticeably and disgustingly leftwing lately)”

Host Ben Mankiewicz is a HUGE anti-Trump lefty. He appeared on some lefty cable show on Election Night 2016. I was shocked that he was associated with such a partisan show when he should have been neutral. Here’s the link:
