Threatening American citizens with a $1M fine plus 20yrs in prison for boycotting a foreign country is violently anti-American, repugnant of Art. I, and transgresses the 1st, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, & 10th amendments
H.R. 867 is some King George sh*t

basiloco and his deranged crew of maga cultists will tell you, you are wrong. They don't care anymore, they just follow what the cult's board of directors say.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump announces 100% tariff on all movies imported into the United States.



I explained this either here or somewhere else not long ago.

Only people who don't understand what's happening will fault this man.

I as a consumer of entertainment know that Hollywood is fast losing it to chinese and other Asian Pacific nations as far as entertainment is concerned.
Platforms like Netflix is projected in the near future to make most of it's gains from Asian Pacific and with the influx of cheaper streaming sites from china and India, America is on a long thing.

Netflix has about 300 million subscribers while tencrnt, IQIYI, jiostar are clocking 600 million from Asian Pacific where Netflix projects to make her gains from like 5 years coming. And these companies have their English platforms headquartered in America.
So they sell their products to the world from America extremely cheaper than America that will buy from them and sell to the world.
Hope you understand the breakdown before you start your condemnation.

I explained why I left Netflix like a month ago or so and others who love asian dramas are leaving in their numbers. We have ed these Asian Pacific platforms cos 1, they are more interactive. Like a forum.
2, they are fast. Netflix comes late to the table and takes like months to finish airing as far as deamas from these countries are concerned. Not ready to wait. They don't stream.
3, they are very cheap. I pay around 200 plus for Netflix yearly. With that, I subscribe for vip or standard for 4 streaming platforms and still get change. Every year, Netflix is adding more money for subscription.
4, Asian Pacific dramas and series are where the fun is now.
5, you can even watch their drams on youtube. Netflix won't do that.
So why will I need Netflix.

Prime is worst.
An amazon prime member but will not go for their movies or drama. Why should I rent a drama to watch. Dem dey ment?

So, you left Netflix because a foreign company offers you better choice and deals and options and business model?

And how now will tariffs make you buy made in America Amazon or Netflix when it is their business model and bad offering that chased you away in the first place?

According to the USCIS under the trump. If you’re a permanent resident, you’re a guest, so you better act like it. All those legal residents who are non-citizens in America I guess you better shelve your opinions now🫢

Those of you who him in this overreach I hope you know it means a different president who you don’t can find you in violation of the guest “code of conduct” and have you deported even if you are here legally & permanently? Hope that’s a reality you are willing to live in.

Mumu people.

The unfathomable hypocrisy. All while collecting billions in subsidies from poor and middle class tax payers. But let’s leave it to the bootlickers to argue about state taxes and operating costs.

Cutting waste and fraud my 🍑

I don't want to add that as it will overshadow my main point but yes, this too is among the reasons American movies are no longer gaining worldwide recognitions. Stopped watching them ages ago as they don't excite me. Even my kids don't watch them. It's so bad, actors like a whole Tom Cruise went to south Korea and their reality show just to promote mission impossible and some other big shots in Hollywood. This started even before trump did his first term. A popular chinese drama in less than 5 months will stream billions in china, billions outside China. And I won't lie, I love their drama. They started promoting gay and the backlash was too much, the govt banned it. How will Hollywood sell LGBTQ drama and movie in china?

I will rather watch Thailand LGBTQ movie or drama than Hollywood. America will make you hate gay people. The orientation and waiting for public acceptance was too short and forceful. And they are still everybody's face like you must accept me or I will deal with you.

Save for the underlying theme hollyweird promotes , their production is top notch and some scripts are very imaginative and spell binding. We have to give them that, I won't include the American braggadio.
Asian movies are a bit realistic ,the dramas mostly reflect possible scenarios of real lives.
I am quite poor in watching movies,I love documentaries on history, crimes ,sports and military.

Glad I blocked this fuxer.

basilico:
You need to add that most American movies nowadays have a trans , a lesbian, a gay, a brown or a black in a prominent role.
My daughter is hellbent on kdrama Korean drama series . The others are happy with telenovelas from Mexico and Latin America.
Personally I stopped my Netflix subscription because of the woke shit.
I'm happy with DSTV.

Luigi Mangione may go scot free . His backpack was searched without a warrant as soon as he was spotted. No footage. Gun later found in the backpack. the defence claims was planted. Judge can throw out the case.

Liberals have raised over $1million so far and are celebrating.

Maybe if 10k and flight tickets.

1k is too small to motivate people to come out and take the deal.

SCAMerica, the land of degenerates. 🤣
Gringolandia's collapse is accelerating 💯

Tariff on foreign made movies ?

I don't think there is much money to make from putting tariff on foreign made movies...people can do without watching movies - American or foreign.

Looking for every avenue to make money ? Let the rich pay more.

When you think he has abused stewpidity to the maximum, he surprises you some more. This combination of willful ego and ignorance is hard to find.

If they ever planned on coming into the country again, they shouldn't trust that deal. WIll probably put you on a permanent ban list if this offer isn't a ruse to send you to El Salvador first.

That being said, it's going to be a hott summer. I'm sure ICE is going to be at more events. And once Trump gets slapped down on all his illegal immigration actions he might get serious/smarter about doing it the legal way.

I'm sure a lot of people are considering just leaving.

Some Americans maybe take the money ( if big ) not 1k...enjoy the force vacay, when the money finishes, they come back.
If it is $150k cash, round trip tickets, I will take it

I always wonder what it takes for someone living in Nigeria to wake up and decide that he hates seeing other black people in Main roles in movies.
Does he just get tired of seeing black people in the shows he watches and wants all the other characters on his international shows to be white?

Lol. Except giving Trump they'll be a rider in invisible ink in 1 pt font in that contract that if you are a US citizen doing that it means you renounce your citizenship. lol

But if you were planning on retiring in another country.. take the money and enjoy

This is the part the Trumpers always seem to miss.
To decide if someone is "illegal", you need due process.

Meanwhile guys, be safe out there. Our anti-DEI people have caused wahala.

Common sense flies right out of the window with these peops I swear. It's almost like there have always been different species of the human race, but we just looked the same.

You left Netflix because it's more expensive, went to a cheaper business, but you want tax on the cheaper model business you ran to, because they are running Netflix.

Classic case of voting against one's interest.

If that’s not right wing style I don’t know what is

AIPAC is in control. People have fvcking lost their collective minds to a point where they no longer understand whose interests they champion.

Can you think of anything more un-American? King George would be proud of this.

I was sharing about 2 weeks ago with Cococandy how shipping and container bookings were down 60% in April. I saw two days ago that Sasha had picked up on this.

I listen to Sasha. He's very sound.

Dictator subsidizing foreign countries to incarcerate people because we can’t legally do that without trials. Once they’re off US soil, they’re foreign prisoners.

Your president ladies and gentlemen men.

He knows nothing about the thing he posted on his page. In the same breath he’s telling us Catholics loved it. Even though well known Catholic leadership called him out on it.

Just know that if he’s breathing he’s lying. And as a voter, being okay with that level of consistent blatant dishonesty is a character flaw.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he knew nothing about an artificially generated image of him dressed as the pope that was posted to his Truth Social over the weekend.

"I had nothing to do with it. Somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the pope and they put it out on the internet. That's not me that did it, I have no idea where it came from, maybe it was AI, but I know nothing about it, I just saw it last evening," Trump told reporters on May 5 from the Oval Office.

“I have no idea where it came from,” he said. “Maybe it was AI. But I know nothing about it. I just saw it last evening. Actually my wife thought it was cute. She said, isn’t that nice?”

Was pretty incredible hearing it live esp. when the reporter followed up and asked why it was on the White House site.

So, Trump's whole justification for using the Alien Enemies Act ws bullshit (we knew that).
And it also seems he's been lying to the court.

The only reason why the US may survive Trump 2 is that they are incompetent.
Too incompetent at their attempts to be autocrats.
Someone's going to be fired for letting this memo out.

The memo, dovetailing with intelligence findings first reported by The New York Times in March, states that spy agencies do not believe that the istration of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, controls a criminal gang, Tren de Aragua. That determination contradicts what Mr. Trump asserted when he invoked the deportation law, the Alien Enemies Act.

Not only the White House site. His personal page carried it too (at least that’s where I saw it). Either he’s a fvcking liar or someone has his posting things on his behalf.
And given that he often announces official information on his personal , that’s a pretty damning ission. He doesn’t know who posts what through his .

Is he just a liar or is he clueless? Let’s see how his resident defenders spin this one. Oh wait . They have to first get a template on what to say before they begin 🫢
