Cirque Du Trump: Pumpkin Bisque POTUS Fires FBI Director James Comey

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Trump Fires James Comey As FBI Director In Wake Of Clinton E-Mail Mistake The the low-budget soap opera that has become the United States of America continues to present plot twist after plot twist. After effusively praising FBI director James Comey for bringing down the hammer on Hillary Clinton during the election, orange Fanta POTUS has decided that he no longer needs him. Like so many Apprentice contestants, and several folks on the executive staff, Trump fired James Comey today with this statement read by Sean Spicer: Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office. President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The FBI is one of our Nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement,” said President Trump. A search for a new permanent FBI Director will begin immediately. Comey came under fire yesterday when the FBI released a statement rebutting the idea that Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin, had forwarded “hundreds of thousands of emails” to her then-freak-a-leek husband, Anthony Weiner. According to ThinkProgress , the Bureau’s statement clarified that only “a small number” of emails were accidentally forwarded to Weiner. Then comes the fact that despite Trump’s best effort to purport innocence, Comey confirmed that the FBI was indeed investigating Trump for his alleged collusion with Vladimir Putin and the Russians to interfere with our election. Sounds like anyone who thinks Trump might be a shady, dirtbag, scumbucket, is going to get the Ned Stark treatment (spoiler alert) OFF WITH HIS (or HER) HEAD! Who’s President mans is this?!?

Breaking News: Judge Sentences Bobby Shmurda For Prison Knife Case

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

“Obsessed” Fan Passed “Hot N***a” Rapper A Shank During Visit In 2015 A judge has sentenced  Bobby Shmurda in his prison knife and perjury case. A judge ruled that the “Hot N***A” rapper would serve 1.3 to four years in state prison in exchange for  pleading guilty to attempted promotion of prison contraband, a nonviolent felony. Shmurda, dressed in a rumpled white button-down shirt, khakis and his hands shackled at his side and covered with mitts, kept his head down during the five-minute hearing Friday at Bronx Criminal Court. The sentence will run concurrently with his seven-year sentence for gang conspiracy and weapons charges. When the judge asked him if he’d like to make a statement, he replied, “No sir.” Flanked by three court officers, the rapper was immediately remanded and was led back to the cells. Shmurda, who was born Ackquille Pollard, told Bronx Supreme Court Judge Marc Whitten in February that an 18-year-old woman named Kimberly Rousseau tried to pass him a “sharp metal object” on during a jail visit in 2015 before cops caught him. But London his lawyer, and family spokesman, Allen Dewayne, told BOSSIP that Rousseau wasn’t his girlfriend, which was previously reported, but an “obsessed” fan. Bobby Shmurda fan Kimberly Rousseau, 18, was accused of passing him a homemade knife in jail last month “He doesn’t know her,” London said. “She was an obsessed fan. She has no connection to him.” London said the visit lasted about 15 seconds, and several fans had tried visiting him while he was locked up at New York’s notorious Rivers Island jail. “He admitted his guilt,” Paul London, Shmurda’s lawyer said. “We’re not taking that back. He told the truth. He was in possession and he accepted it. We all make mistakes, but it’s how you bounce back.” Shmurda’s mother, Leslie Pollard told BOSSIP after the hearing that her son was now focused on putting the crimes behind him, turning his life around and being a role model for others. She said he was learning a carpentry trade, working in the prison’s commissary and attending school while incarcerated at Clinton Correctional Facility in Upstate New York. “We just look forward to him finishing up and the time being over,” Pollard told BOSSIP. “He’s hanging in there. He’s doing flooring and working in the store.” Under the deal’s terms, Shmurda can’t appeal the sentence, and he’ll be barred from voting or serving on a jury once he gets out. The 21-year-old has been locked up since late 2014 on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy. In that case, prosecutors alleged he was the leader of the GS9 street gang, which terrorized Brooklyn with drug sales and shootings. He has to serve at least six years and will be eligible for parole in 2021.

Donald Trump Loses Muslim Ban Appeal: Twitter Reacts!

Posted on February 10, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When elected President, Donald Trump claimed that America would win so often that citizens would grow sick of winning.  To date, however, Trump has lost twice in key court rulings. On Thursday night, San Francisco’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the suspension of the President's travel ban, which prevented people from seven mostly Muslim nations from entering the United States. The three judges, a mixture of Democrats and Republicans, voted unanimously against the administration. And, as you'll see below, Hollywood was nearly unanimous in its response to this legal decision… 1. Donald Trump SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE! 2. Hillary Clinton 3-0. 3. Michael Moore A victory against hate. Appeals Court rules against Trump. His Muslim Ban can not be enforced for the time being. 4. Debra Messing TRUMP LOSES. Reinstatement of the ban is DENIED by Court. 5. Josh Gad Always good 2 end my day w/ a solid bitch slap. I can sleep soundly knowing Trump is now throwing Jane Adams vases across the WH dining room. 6. Judd Apatow Oh shit— he is using caps! Someone explained the caps lock to our so called President baby. View Slideshow

George H.W. Bush Gets HUGE Ovation For Super Bowl Coin Toss

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

During his ill-fated run for the presidency, Jeb Bush referred to his father, former President George H.W. Bush, as the greatest man alive. The 2016 election obviously didn't turn out the way his family hoped, but judging by the reaction his old man got at Super Bowl LI? Jeb! hit the nail on the head with that statement. George Bush served one term as president from 1989-1993 before being replaced by Bill Clinton, who defeated him in his bid for reelection. The father of Clinton's successor, George W., the elder Bush has become an even more respected statesman in the two decades since. He and former First Lady Barbara Bush received a massive ovation as they oversaw the coin toss at the big game on Sunday night. It marked the first public event since the couple – based in Houston, the host of the Super Bowl – was hospitalized within days of each other.  George went home from the hospital last week after being treated for pneumonia. He had been at Houston Methodist Hospital since January 15. After experiencing shortness of breath, he was later admitted to the ICU to address an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia. Bush’s wife was admitted to the same hospital on January 18 as a “precaution.” Her doctors later said she was suffering from bronchitis. The hospitalizations forced the duo to miss President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, though they wished him the very best. Last night, the entire nation saluted the very best. The 41st President of the United States was taken to midfield for the coin toss in a wheelchair while his wife rode alongside in a golf cart.  Bush is 92. Barbara, 91, married him 71 (!) years ago. The Bushes were greeted with a well-deserved ovation so loud, the game's referee struggled to be heard during the opening ceremony. The winner of the coin toss? America. And Atlanta, who went on to lose another coin toss, and the game in overtime, three hours later. Watch George H.W. Bush do the honors below!

IHOP Slams Hillary Clinton Voters, Chain Cries "HACK!"

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Wait a pancake-flippin minute, IHOP! What just happened?!? Based on a Tweet that's gone viral, the breakfast-themed restaurant just slammed the heck out of millions of Hillary Clinton voters. What did the chain say/do on social media to give this strong impression? And how is it trying to finagle its way out of this scandal? Read on. Find out! 1. Good Morning… and Eff You! Excuse us, IHOP? This controversy started after the chain’s official Twitter account very clearly re-Tweeted a message from someone who thinks Clinton fans need to shut up, get over their bitter feelings and pretty much try do their part to #MAGA. 2. Prepare for That Pink Slip! As proven here (and in the messages below), this re-Tweet did not go unnoticed. 3. We Were Hacked! Yes, IHOP used the old “We were hacked!” excuse. We’d love to meet the hacker who decided that it would be worthwhile to break into IHOP’s Twitter account, only to re-Tweet a single anti-Hillary message. 4. Can You Smell It, Twitterverse? Smells like some prime BS, doesn’t it? 5. We Have So Many Questions Or, really, just one question. 6. The Cover-Up is Always Worse Than the Crime Someday, people may understand this. View Slideshow

Chelsea Handler on Donald Trump as President: Blame the Kardashians!

Posted on January 17, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Donald Trump is not exactly the most popular figure in Hollywood. But few celebrities have been as openly disdainful and distrusting of the President-Elect as Chelsea Handler. The comedian cried on air after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton on November 8. She then seriously considered moving to Spain, prior to staying put and deciding to use her talk show as a platform to talk about politics and the state of this country. Handler also plans to lead the Women’s March at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21. Just days away from Trump being inaugurated as President, Handler spoke to Variety from her home in New York City, responding to a question about the real estate mogul’s victory with a surprising answer. Does she blame a poorly-run Clinton campaign for the stunning Trump win? Frustrated white workers in states such as Florida and Michigan? Trump’s message on jobs? Nope, nope and nope.  Handler blames Kim Kardashian. And Khloe Kardashian. And Kourtney Kardashian. And probably Kylie Jenner , too. After blaming the media for treating Trump like an “entertainer” instead of a politician, Handler explained her viewpoint thusly: “We’ve turned into a reality show. I blame the Kardashians, personally; the beginning of the end was the Kardashians. The way these people have blown up and don’t go away – it’s surreal.” There’s certainly something to be said for the Kardashians representing a new age of social media and celebrity, one in which one can basically “do” nothing and still be rich and famous. But Trump did a lot during his campaign for the Presidency. He didn’t just pose for racy Instagram photos… thank goodness. “Everyone is for sale. We’re looking at a man that gets mad at Vanity Fair for reviewing his restaurant poorly,” Handler expounded to Vanity Fair, adding: “By the way, have you ever been to that restaurant? It’s the biggest piece of garbage you’ve ever walked into. That place looks like a Southwest airport lounge. It’s the worst.” In all seriousness, though, Handler is concerned about the future of our country. “The idea that so many people were so wrong about the outcome is so screwed up,” Chelsea says . “The fact that Russia is interfering with our election is beyond repair. How do we ever recover from that? What’s to prevent them from doing it for the rest of our lives?” Elsewhere in the interview, Handler refers to Trump as a “sociopath,” says Kanye West “needs to get on his meds” and says of her role as a celebrity: “[It’s] to reach across and figure out the people who are so disenchanted that they voted for him, and try to find some common ground.” Sounds like a tall order. And it may say something about the state of… well… everything that we’re partially turning to Chelsea Handler to help fill it. Keep fighting the good fight, though, Chelsea. We’re on your side.
