Shame on the Emmys for the Spicer validation. He is dedicated to demeaning our craft and restricting our freedoms of speech. #Unforgivable

Dad's a major league grifter and the brother hung and tortured a dog for fun. Not sure which one or if it was the same brother who was arrested for attempting to carry a gun on a plane.

Not one person associated with Trump should be normalized or given a pass. Spicer has no ethics, principles, or moral compass.

One of these days, I swear I'm gonna make a gif of the lines in A Fish Called Wanda where Wanda tells Ken that their father used to beat Otto up and walks away. Ken mutters under his breath "good!"

It's one of my favorite lines in a movie full of priceless lines.

was at all times on board with supporting Trump's racist, xenophobic, and classist policies. He stood there and lied day after day. He berated the press for doing their jobs. Nothing is funny about that. He'd still be there if he wasn't kicked out by Trump.

Now Hollywood sits back and laughs along with him. I have a feeling Trump will get the same treatment when he leaves office.

Like George Carlin said, its all one big club and you and I ain't in it.
