Damn...

Hey, Im a Melania fan,...really,... but damn.... Methinks Im gonna sit this one out.
The only bright side to a show like this is that it will easily turn a profit since the expense wasnt much more than "Batterries for my handycam"

Wages… for who?

Hope it paid well.........

Bezos to his employees: OPT OUT of Melania doc for "political reasons" and LOSE YOUR JOB.​

Amazon did not allow talent to opt out of working on Melania for political reasons, a new report alleges.

That order came straight from Amazon’s leadership, forcing studio staff to choose between working on an absurdly expensive documentary about Melania Trump or risk losing their jobs, three sources told The New York Times

Such a mandate is perhaps why Rolling Stone reports an eye-popping two-thirds of Melania’s New York crew asked for their names not be added to the film’s credits.

“They were told that the project was mandated by the company’s leadership and that employees could not opt out of working on the film for political reasons,” the Times reported.

The audience rating is 98%. Gee....I wonder who is going to see this film..... :rolleyes:
That's cause they Scorebait. RT is owned by Fandango, which is owned by Universal and they need FCC help to aquire Warner Bros Discovery. So of course they are going to suppress low audience scores, just like they have been caught doing a handful of times.

And how many of those 8 million are tickets that were actually used?
Exactly.... supports will literally buy out the screen and give away the tickets, and few, if any will attend. They do the same thing with the MAGA books.

Read something we ALL can agree on here in Phoenix:


Haven’t seen the Melania doc.

If I’m gonna watch a Slovenian immigrant get fawned over by a group of people I’ve disliked since the early 2000s, it’s gonna be Luka Dončić and the Lakers.

A much better story than Melania.

Luka Doncic’s Lakers Teammate Expected to Join Slovenia Before FIBA World Cup

The Slovenian national basketball team could soon add a key NBA presence ahead of the upcoming FIBA World Cup qualification windows. According to BasketNews sources, Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes is in the final stages of completing paperwork that would allow him to obtain Slovenian citizenship and represent Slovenia alongside Luka Doncic.

Hayes, 25, was born in Norman, Oklahoma, and plays center for the Lakers. He first confirmed in October that he was pursuing Slovenian citizenship, and the process is nearing completion as he finalizes the remaining documentation needed to secure a Slovenian passport.
