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.”
These A hole listers mind not one whit about the countless crew members whose families would starve while other forms of entertainment fill the vacuum. I have told troublesome employees they should stick their hand in a bucket of water, then pull it back out. That’s how much they’ll be missed.
Dear God,
THANK YOU FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and this:
‘Total Hollywood Strike’
your humble servant
Is this satire? Did hollywood really come out and say that they hold the power in this country and the government is their servant? Really?
The news keeps on getting better and better. I can’t wait to check my android device ten times a day.
Don’t need you guys in Hollywood. I watch retro stuff - music, movies, documentaries about life in America when living was really good. We don’t need ya.
You don’t hear stuff like this out of Nashville.
Please, please, please do not bow to these losers President Trump!
Lol
Yeah...like they were going to move out of the USA...what ever happened to that promise?
Oh please let it be true. I wonder what universe they live in where they think anyone would even notice their absence let alone care.
The vacuum would be filled in 30 days or less by Christian and patriotic agencies.
Please, please, please!
Do it, you talent-free lunatics. Your movies stink anyway
Oh, right. Stop streaming out your anti-American bilge and bring the country to it’s knees.
Here’s a counterproposal. Amend the copywrite laws to put Hollywood movies in the public domain after a year or two.

These have to be the dumbest people on earth. Have they never heard of books or even Netflix?
No wonder they’re liberals; you’d have to be to be this freakin’ stupid.
It’s calling for the “strike” before he’s inaugurated.
So what! This is a poke 'laugh at their antics' thread.
Don't you find their antics humorous?
Knock yourselves out, Hollyweirdo fools! Burn your industry down because you don’t like Trump. Great plan!
No problem.
I was going to see “Gold” today but, if you insist on a boycott, I’m in.
Going to Big5 and pick up some ammo instead....
