Rosie ODonnell, 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.
Its about time people understood that were 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.
Were 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 ODonnell, 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.

Go for it. Only problem is the thousands of lower paid suckers who work in the industry will be out of their jobs without 6+ figure bank accounts to fall back on.
They won’t have that on their satanic politically correct reinvented morality consciences.
They wouldn’t make a dime for eight years?!? I’d love seeing tumbleweeds rolling down Rodeo Drive.
just how out of touch w/reality can these people go?????????????????
Never mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It won’t bother me if they make it a year strike. Or better yet, make it permanent.
Go for it.
These people are hilarious.
5.56mm
Simply amazing that so many are volunteering to be placed on the blacklist.
Well, let those Hollywood clowns boycott themselves, and then studios will just get a new set of clowns at a cheaper price that are younger and more talented to do the work.
I don’t think they’ll be missed if the struck.
The proper terminology for this is completely, utterly delusional. If *they* are, in fact, "the base of the entire modern American culture", then they shoulder the burden of turning that culture into an open sewer. One should not be boasting about *that* particular dubious 'achievement'...
the infowarrior
This will free them up to finally leave the USA
Because being a capitalistic society, nobody would step in to fill the void. Though it will probably be difficult finding anybody willing to be paid millions of dollars to read other peoples words in front of a camera
These people are so filled with hubris.
Hollywood might have to put a lot of projects on hold anyway when Sessions starts digging into the Hollywood Pedo rings...
The thinkers in “Hollyweed” - there are some - mostly behind the camera, will never let this happen.
The world might realize it doesn’t miss them.

Good! Take nbc etal with you.
Actors are high school grads. Waiters and waitresses who caught a lucky break or slept with the right person.
They can be easily replaced.
This would be a boon to other indie movie companies taking over.
They’d never do it.
But some support Calexit. Never underestimate liberal mental illness.
