Hey Chicago friends, go see my dumb face in The Midnight Meat Train on the big screen at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social! I never got to since Lionsgate originally dumped it in like 2 theaters. If I were back home I’d go for sure.

Agreed that it is not the best “Nightmare” flick. I’d love to Siskel & Ebert you on why it’s NOWHERE near. the best “Friday” movie.

Donnie Smith @donniesmith.bsky.social · 3d

I’d love to see everyone start referring to him as Hesgeth. It’s a so simple, but would really eat at his ego.

I’ve never wondered what my “brand” is before. Hmmm… generic, movie-centric, Libtard? I’d add middle-aged, but based on certain factors might be pushing it.

What depths of awfulness this administration hath wrought. A man of peace being assaulted for standing up for “the least among us” (Matthew 25). 77.3 million people are irredeemably responsible for this and every single awful act delivered by the monsters they’ve unleashed upon us.

I would love if everyone just started calling him Hesgeth in print, questioning, and TV pundit conversation. It’s such a small thing that I bet it would drive him absolutely insane.

Fuck every one of these chump ass, check-cashing sellouts cunts & pricks for agreeing to, “speech restrictions,” AND for yucking it up for folks who financed 9/11. You took BLOOD MONEY, you fuckin jagoffs. May you & your heirs die of every pain and suffering imaginable.

I’ve admired a lot of these comedians, but yeah fuck them. One on the list is an old lakeshore alum from Chicago. Truly disgusted by all of them. “Blood money” is spot-on. And for what? None of these jokers are scrounging for food.

I’m shocked, I say SHOCKED, that a fascist militant presence outside a business has led to adverse effects for the surrounding community.

Donnie Smith @donniesmith.bsky.social · 11d

How does the “board of peace” work in collaboration with the “department of war?”

Donnie Smith @donniesmith.bsky.social · 12d

Everything with this jagoff is self-reflective; what he accuses others of is exactly what HE is and does. “…unserious and ridiculous demands” is precisely what this is. When he’s dead he better bury himself on one of his golf courses so we don’t have access to piss on his grave.

How did the rapture go? I was cutting my hair. My cats are hungry. The mail came. Hmmm… Did I miss it?

I mean… what even is “Miami Vice” at this point? Is it an ICE/DHS propaganda flick?

When this jagoff eats dust the WORLD will celebrate, and no one will be able to stop it. Mors nos omnes capiet. My only sadness is the guest of honor won’t be at the party.

Trump:

"When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."

Donnie Smith @donniesmith.bsky.social · 23d

“Hit” trump is all that’s gonna happen once time takes him out. Time = perpetuity. Ain’t no licensing on that.

How about that? A country actually doing the right thing to punish an appointed official linked to Epstein. Wish we could do the same here as opposed to having a cult that supports sex offenders.

The laws mean nothing while we’re under a regime that believes in deregulation and disregard for the courts. This f***ing sucks.
