If only we could go back to 2014 and edit Trump out our political landscape…

FOX has to gin up outrage from somewhere, especially when it’s bullshit from the get-go.

It was a multiyear deep state international conspiracy to edit out scenes involving Donald Trump that weren’t funny, did not advance the plot, were lame, were obvious and pathetic, and worst of all obligatory because he’s such, such, such a dick.

They cut he cameo of Donald Trump and took all the excitement out of the movie! What reason there is to see Home Alone 2 if Trump doesn’t show?

Nostalgia, taking us back to a simpler and halcyon days (with edits) without Trump.

We should have called 1-800-Got-Junk a long time ago.

“Thompson added that eight minutes total were cut from the film.”

Or roughly the equivalent of 7% of a typical Trump campaign rally.

I suggest we follow the CBC’s lead, and just cut the motherfucker out of office now to save everyone’s time.

Looking back, we should have thought ahead.

Most people don’t think. They watched his lameass tv show, they recognized him when they voted and here we are.

Back in the day a Margaret Trudeau visit to Studio 54 was far more welcoming and fun than Trump and Roy Cohn.

So once again conservatives have only made us dumber in their quest to prove that they’re the unpopular victims being oppressed by the tyrannical liberal majority that controls everything for the sole purpose of smiting all Real Americans. I’ll never understand these people.

Are they kidding, lying on the editing room floor is exactly where Trump belongs. If only the CBC could do that to the real Trump. Our country and the whole world would be a whole lot better off.

If Hillary and Barrack could time travel back to when Barrack was born, Barrack’s mother forge his birth certificate and Hillary make a pact with the newborn Barrack, then establish a cybernetic relationship with Putin and set up a conspiracy by which after Barrack is wrongly president (not a citizen,) she runs and loses to Trump purposely in order to have him spied on by Lame Duck Barrack’s FBI, then by god I defy you to prove this wasn’t a conspiracy in 2014!

Being Canadian, the CBC is too kind to say that they edited the scene out to make it a better movie.

For Trump everything is about him. The CBC said the scene was extraneous to the plot. Message sent, right where it hurts.

“The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot.

Oh, this is going to burn our dim-witted leader. Naturally, out of all proportion.

I’m surprised he didn’t ask for his name above the title.
