Celebrities Call For ‘Total Hollywood Strike’ Until Trump Resigns

Rosie O’Donnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike “until Trump resigns”.

A group of liberal Hollywood celebrities are threatening a “massive, all-round Hollywood strike” unless Donald Trump resigns. Describing Hollywood as “the base of the entire modern American culture“, the group also claims to be speaking on behalf of “all of humanity.”

“It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around“, a spokesperson for the group told The New York Times.

“We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops.”

Spinzon reports: Rosie O’Donnell, Debra Messing, Ed Asner and Michael Shannon are among the dozens of artists, entertainers, and activists who have attached their names to an effort calling for a month-long protest to stop President-elect Donald Trump.

“No! In the Name of Humanity We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!” reads a full-page ad placed in the New York Times on Wednesday by the group Refuse Racism. “Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger,” the ad says.

“Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance – before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands.”

Other Hollywood celebrities who have also joined the campaign, however, are calling for an all-out strike that would span the entire movie industry in the hopes that such a move would urge the President-elect to resign from his position as the newly elected President of the United States.

“We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops,” a spokesperson for the Refuse Racism group told The New York Times. “It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around.”

Sequels, reboots, and remakes.

It seems they have been on strike for a while.

“Cool. Let them take 8 years off.”

And in eight years, none of them would be remembered or have a career to which to return! I wish them well on their “quest!” And a side benefit is that all the “Hollywood studio bigwigs” would be broke.

It will be great to see movies without condescending whack jobs in the leading roles.

Please go ahead and do it. Our society will be much better without the filth coming from Hollyweird. I will dare to bet that after a period of time those kooks will miss the outrageous money and attention they get and get over their little game.

I have not gone to a movie that I paid for in many years. None of the special effect crap, demonic inspired filth and anti American crap that poses as entertainment interests me.

Good riddance.

Easy for those Folks. They got theirs. $$ The Walking Dead is a Good example of creating entertainment without paying Millions to some Left Wing D Bags. Also HBO, Netflix, Amazon etc. The world has changed, including our Government. Some are just a little slow to catch on. 😀 MAGA

Dear Hollyfags,

Your lives are about as far from representing “the people” as your movies are from reality. Your opinion carries no more weight than a janitor at a rundown elementary school. Please try to understand you are not better than anyone else...except at pretending.

That’s all.

NEWS FLASH: Millions of people in the US and around the world are not filled with deep anxiety, fear and disgust.

But they don't matter, right? /sarcasm

[an all-out strike that would span the entire movie industry]

THAT would be answered prayer! May CHRISTIAN movie and television programs fill the void and cause HOLLYWOOD with its depravity to belly-up.

I believe Janet Napolitano beat her out for that role, but I can’t be certain. So many lesbians rockin’ that Fred Flintstone vibe, it’s tough to tell.
