The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[Simple Torture]

The president of the United States tweeting about a cable television airing of Home Alone 2 because a routine time slot edit hurt his ego is the end of 2019 we’ve all earned.

He also retweeted an article today that included the alleged whistleblower's name in the headline. Happy holidays.

wouldn't you want to include that cameo at this point

the man is a ratings machine

Home Alone 2 sales are probably going through the roof right now

eh, it's a Disney property now so I don't think they care about that particular blip.

plus (lol) isn't it on Disney+?

[Peeps]

actually disney nor politics have anything to do with

apparently the film was edited for television by canada some years ago and that part was edited it out so it would fit in time slots

The CBC edited out multiple scenes from "Home Alone 2" to shorten the two-hour movie for television -- eight minutes in all, the CBC says. The CBC's deletion of scenes entirely unrelated to Trump is confirmed by a search of viewers' complaint tweets. Trump was not cut as Canadian retribution for his policies in office: He has been omitted from the CBC version since at least 2015, the earliest we could find viewers tweeting about the deletion. CBC says it actually cut the Trump cameo in 2014, before Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015.
Since 2014, people have scolded CBC for failing to air such "Home Alone 2" scenes as "Kevin going swimming," "THE TURTLE DOVE EXCHANGE" and a scene in which a homeless man warns Macaulay Culkin's protagonist, Kevin McCallister, to "Watch it, kid."

The CBC said in a statement: "As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, 'Home Alone 2' was edited for time. The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot. These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected President."
The CBC is a Crown corporation -- owned by the Canadian government but making its decisions on what to air independently from the party in power. There is, obviously, no evidence that Trudeau or his party had any role in the decision to dump the Trump appearance.

Conservative Stephen Harper was Canada's prime minister in 2014. (We couldn't immediately confirm on Thursday night that Trump was omitted from the CBC's 2014 airing of the film.) Trudeau, a Liberal, took office in November 2015. Trudeau's office declined to comment.

These people are fueled by a culture of pathetic, whiny grievance. This is embarrassing on a national level.

[bune]

the fact that there are people on both sides taking this seriously tells me we've earned every bit of this presidency.

It's also stupid for a state owned media company to not be aware of what they are broadcasting and understanding how edits to it will be taken.

So...and I want to make sure I understand this...you feel that somebody there should have said “oh, shit! We can’t broadcast Home Alone 2 with the edits we previously used! The president might get mad!”

I think they should have been cognizant of what they were broadcasting, the changes made from the original and ow it reflects on the Canadian government when they are a government agency, ad how the changes may be taken by Trump supporters. Based on all I've read, they were absolutely clueless and any negative feedback, some of what should have been expected caught them completely off guard. I think it is an entirely different story if a private broadcaster airs the same edited edition of the movie.

[verb_to_trust]

Sorry, no

[surfndestroy]

Sorry, no

[Peeps]

the cut of trump was a whole 7 seconds of the film. are you equally as upset with them over the other 7:53 they cut from the film to fit in a time slot?

[verb_to_trust]

Nobody should care about this. Nobody. Especially not anyone in Canada.

there is no doubt the CBC was not aware that it was cut

and no doubt that they would not have changed a thing if they knew it was cut
