It’s gotten so ridiculous now.

A 10 second cameo, that was part of the deal negotiated to use The Plaza (when Trump owned it) and now people offended by Trump over 25 years later want it removed?

This smacks of McCarthyism and Orwell.

Further proof on how ridiculous this country has become.

Luckily I have it on tape and it's staying there, lol.

Politics, wokeness and political correctness need to be removed from entertainment. They ruin it as the storylines and casting have to work around it. If we go down this rabbit hole - which it seems many liberals would like - it will destroy the move/tv industry. It has already impacted how much I am spending on entertainment - much less.

For example, I love me a good looking female, kick butt lead (e.g. Milla Jovavich in Resident Evil), but it has just gotten ridiculous. There was some show cancelled resently because it "was too male". What does that even mean? lol. The funny thing is, most women I know want big strong, good looking male leads more than women. All the storylines about bad corporations, corrupt white men, dumb white men, harming the environment, etc are just getting ridiculous. If those are part of a good storyline then fine, but stop pushing an agenda. Of course we could talk about how poor the writing is in general these days, but I do think a lot of that is driven by the infusion of PC.

I watched home alone during the commonly accepted holiday break totally forgetting that he was in that movie. When we saw him on the screen I was immediately taken back and started getting visibly upset. Then I noticed my children were in tears at just the sight of him. It totally ruined our time together

I wonder if NBC is out back burning all copies of The Apprentice now. They should be thankful that Trump made their network a lot of money with that show back in the day.

I started buying dvd's of "offensive" movies that the cancel culture wants eliminated...like Gone With the Wind and e-books that have been deemed offensive.

Oh my gosh. You are either trolling all of us or need help. I can guarantee not one conservative would be in tears at the site of their biggest political opponent. We are not that soft and neither are you! Get a grip!
