“An unflushed toilet”? Looking back on Hollywood’s weird pledge to Obama

Boy, Hollywood hates Donald Trump. But it’s not actually Trump they hate. 

Until 18 months ago, he was one of them, a celebrity, a TV star, owner of the Miss America pageant, rich; he was everything they are, but better at it than most of them.

They sort of hate Trump; they really hate the people who voted for Trump.

But I want to show you how these celebrity airheads reacted to Barack Obama’s inauguration eight years ago. It’s a video put together by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.

It’s a bunch of banalities — and then Jason Bateman promises that he will pledge to serve his country by not flushing his toilet when he just pees in it.

First of all, he’s obviously lying.

Do you really think that a millionaire celebrity, obsessed with images and perceptions and coolness, would leave an unflushed toilet in his house, for his fancy friends to see?

But my main point is the most obvious point:

These are very stupid people, who are lucky, not smart. It’s fun when they sing or dance or do other entertainments for our pleasure. But we should never, never listen to what they say politically.

And when they do — with rare exceptions, there’s a good chance that we should just say, “What Would Hollywood Do?” and then do the opposite.
