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.”
Please. I beg you. Quit for eight years.
Please!
May the Hollyweird and New York entertainers including singers, one and all, find themselves back in the real world, BROKE, and needing a “regular” job.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! these idiots really think they are somebody and we would never be able to live without them
The Constitution expressly authorizes Congress to provide for copywrite protection “for a limited time”. Currently Congress under “Bono’s law”, extends copywrite protection for the life of the author plus 50 years, or 75 years in the case of corporate authorship. This was passed in 1998 after furious lobbying by the movie and music industry, and is one of the reasons the entertainment industries so loves Clinton and the democrats.
Fun-NEE!!!
Uh , they are the masters ... we are the slaves.
Got it! Hahaha!
... what about the SHAREHOLDERS? The little people like you and me wh keep them in business?
What if we take a walk with our money?
They need to learn the word: SHAREHOLDRS.
Cool! Hopefully it will be 8 years of no garbage out of hollyweird!

“”the base of the entire modern American culture””
Fire the guy who wrote that script!!!! WOW - there’s nothing there that any sane citizen would want to imitate. Sounds like something obozo would say - “Hollywood built this nation”!!! And the poor suckers would believe it.
DO IT - DO IT - DO IT - DO IT!!!! We can live without your fool acting - can you live without us? Let’s call for a nationwide boycott of ANYTHING/EVERYTHING coming out of Hollywood - where you can have a star on the pavement that people spit on! No resemblance to “stars or days gone by.”
Don’t throw us in that briar patch! Get rid of the rot, new talent can get a shot..
Micheal Shannon and Steve Busemi really disappoint me. They were both in Boardwalk Empire. One of my all time favorite series.
But other than that, why stop at a month?
Oh PLEASE -Please do
They’ll show us!!
Plus we can just watch old movies and TV shows, instead of the current ones. That’s what I’ve been doing lately.
“May the Hollyweird and New York entertainers including singers, one and all, find themselves back in the real world, BROKE, and needing a “regular” job.”
These morons fail to see this behavior is costing them money. When they do, they will quiet down.
