Donald Trump taps Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight to be Hollywood 'ambassadors'

Lights, camera, action.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped a group of well-known actors to become "special ambassadors" − not to represent the U.S. overseas but rather at home.

In a social media post Thursday, Trump announced Jon Voight, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone will be his envoys to Hollywood, California, which the president-elect called "a great but very troubled place."

"These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

13. That's the last time Herr Herpes had any real money.

He lost his ass on Black Monday, October 19, 1987 to be precise.

His life has all been one long, tedious, bitter, lying, philandering, rapey, Adderall snorting, narcissistic, criming, bigoted, misogynistic, ketchup throwing, farce since. Now he’s being allowed to drag us along with him thanks to some unfathomable reason.

It’s not uncommon for a person with advanced dementia to regress and fantasize about a time when they felt in control.

We’re not supposed to talk about this, though. Nodding and smiling.

It’s all normal. Everything is fine.

5. The Three Stooges

6. His eyes and ears to push propaganda. Expect Pollyanna films: "Life is Great, ignore the cattle cars, more white faces!"

Also, tyrants need hagiographers.

Maybe films about the evacuation of Khabul airport where 13 US soldiers died (after tRump freed 5,000 terrorists including Taliban's present leader). Anything to smear Biden and Democrats.

Myth-making is a big part of a long-term gaslighting propaganda operation. Hitler had his Leni Riefenstahl.

Expect the films to be about as culturally significant as a Kid Rock song.

8. WTF does this even mean?

I am clueless

[tanyev]

9. Welp, Trump's announcement just killed off any lingering chance

any of those three stooges will get invites to meetings and parties with Hollywood power brokers.

Nobody wants to spend time with minders and stool pigeons.

[Liberal In Texas]

17. Well, they're not doing anything anyway.

Is trumpy going to build a little embassy in Burbank for them?
Will they be on the look-out for "illegals?"
If some production will mock Dear Leader will they raise a little red flag on their embassy?
What a crock!

23. This illustrates one of our weaknesses.

They accuse our side of being antisemitic, and it has stuck to us to some extent. Yet only a few fringe actors on the left show those tendencies. But Trump and Republicans not only dine with Nazi's, they installed a Supreme Court that uses the power of government to force Jews to live in accordance with the principles of fundamentalist Christianity, and the Trump administration will be filled with Jew-hating white supremacists. Now Trump has appointed the deeply antisemitic Mel Gibson to a "position". Yet somehow, they have and will escape the antisemitic label.

If a Democratic president had done this there would be non-stop screeching, which would lead to even MORE people believing that our party courts antisemites, but our weak response to all of this will let them get away with it, like usual. There it is in a nutshell.....why we lose too many elections!

24. These are my loyaly snitches.

[Deep State Witch]

25. Look For Them To Bring Back The Un-American Activities Committee

Sounds like Trump wants these three washed-up actors to bring back the Red Scare, and go after anyone in Hollywood who isn't sufficiently MAGA.

No wonder David Lynch checked out when he did.

26. "...my eyes and ears..."

That should scare everyone. He's endorsing spying on your neighbors & reporting them. We are in for some brutal times. These people are full of moral superiority & feel that some horrible injustice has been done to them, even though we never took away their fucking guns.
