With the mayor saying "horcrux destroyed"

I guess it is a good behavior in this case right?

Would Trump retaliate and decide to sky raise taxes for movies or anything that would displease the Hollywood folks in their ivory towers?

Good riddance. Wasn't even good for urinating on.

This. 

And it's hardly surprising that they don't want an orange man-child who throws temper tantrums on Twitter occupying the space of cherished celebrities. 



You have another source for this?  Because this is what I'm reading:

 

The council will send a formal letter to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Los Angeles City Council and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to consider removing it.

But, according to a statement from the chamber, it’s unlikely it will act.

“The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk,” said Leron Gubler, the organization’s president and CEO.

He is the president, how can he be disrespected like this? In the past being the President was a position of great respect. Now because half the country doesnt agree with this one, all of a sudden it's ok to bully him and disrespect him like this? Yeah he's a pretty bad president, but so was GWB (and he wasnt treated like this. Bullying isn't right, even if its the president. He's a huge celebrity and obviously belongs there.

Really hope so.It feels so wrong to do this just because of a political opinion.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

That would be perfect. We could put all those idiots in prison for public indecency and woudn't have to worry about them voting in the next election. I propose a trump star in every major city now.

I know Trump wishes here were but he's not a king.  How does a president raise taxes on movies?

Where there is a will there is a way. He can make some executive orders that will negatively harm the industry.

Congress would be in charge of that.

But it would be more about not raising taxes on Hollywood, but removing the insane tax breaks Hollywood gets.

Of course that would just lead to them making their movies in like Canada or somewhere that would give them tax breaks. Meanwhile those same people would still stand on their soap boxes and preach about how the rich need to pay their fair share.

Those tax breaks are state and local.  Not federal.

You dont think Trump could do something to hurt the industry? I'm sure he could. We've had people turn democracies in to dictatorships in the past. Trump has already implemented policies that we didnt even consider possible due to them breaking the law.
