Harrison Ford: ‘We’ve got people in charge of important sh*t who don’t believe in science’

sudshr47 November 4, 2017

Harrison Ford may be Hollywood’s most entertaining grumpy, old man. His penchant for blunt real talk, especially on topics he cares about, is downright refreshing.

Such was the case on Thursday night when Ford received an award from the environmental non-profit group, Conservation International. The actor used his acceptance speech that night to dish out some pointed criticism of Donald Trump and his misfit team of climate change skeptics.

George H.W. Bush on Donald Trump: ‘I don’t like him.’

sudshr47 November 4, 2017

There ain’t no shade like ex-U.S. president shade, because ex-U.S. president shade comes from someone who was literally a leader of the free world.

Today’s shade-thrower is George H.W. Bush. The first President Bush pulls no punches in his frank take on Donald Trump. The detail, in the form of a direct quote, comes from author John Updegrove’s upcoming book, The Last Republicans, which explores the father-son relationship between the father-son ex-Presidents Bush.

“I don’t like him,” the senior Bush said in Updegrove’s book, out Nov. 14. “I don’t know much about him, but I know he’s a blowhard. And I’m not too excited about him being a leader.” Read more…

Everything happens on Twitter these days.

Donald J. Trump responds, Trump-style, on Twitter after a Twitter employee (who was on his last day at the company) deactivated his Twitter account.

“My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact,” the President tweeted.

Hours after it was restored, U.S. president Donald Trump’s Twitter account still struggled with technical issues, as its follower count dropped drastically to 4,000.

The account was shortly restored to its previous 41 million followers, but panic had already ensued.

Trump’s account had been taken down for 11 minutes on Thursday, as the Twitterverse freaked out. Twitter later discovered it was done by a customer service rep who deactivated the account on their last day at work.

Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal reviewhttps://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

The account was back up in a matter of minutes, but for those few moments, all was right in the world. It does not appear as if the account was suspended.
