Trump dramatically slammed the door and SAG quietly locked the deadbolt.

They may have banned him, but he will always have “down the hall and to the left” (Home Alone 2). A great moment in the history of American cinema! And a clear Oscar snub!

Surely Russia has a propaganda film industry. T**** would be a perfect fit.

He’d be a lock to win an Ivan.

I suspect SAG-AFTRA won’t be “begging” Trump to come back. Another miscalculation on his part!

Damn that might hurt more than being barred from elective office.
SAD!

Yup, Trump is a “bad actor.” But we already knew that,…painfully knew that.

Maybe Stormy can help him break into the industry if he “follows her drift”.

ETA: Here’s something a bit more newsworthy…

https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/read-trump-s-impeachment-trial-brief/5b9e8780-828b-4387-b281-9937ed7be4d3/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2

in which the lawyers simultaneously hold that 1) the House acted too quickly to impeach Mango Man; 2) it’s too late to impeach, i.e., the House didn’t act fast enough.

Jiffy Pop, anyone?

Larry the Plumber Guy hitched up his drawers by the tool belt and signed an amicus brief in protest of this very unfair action.

Just because he can’t rejoin SAG-AFTRA doesn’t effect his ability to work one union projects. What does effect his ability to work, however, is that absolutely nobody on the planet wants him for … anything. Just ask his shrieking botox lab macaque Melanoma.

Wait for them to use the but Hollywood 10 HUAC excuse. “They even let those commies in the 50’s keep their union cards”.

I was kind of hoping that the last word in the resolution be in this typeset

DENIED
