Schwarzenegger: Trump call to Georgia official 'un-American bullshit'

[ffr]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is blasting President Trump for his call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, dubbing the commander in chief's pressure campaign to "recaluculate" the election results there "un-American bullshit."
-snip-

"I once did a Terminator film called 'Judgment Day,'" Schwarzenegger said of his 1991 flick. "That’s just Hollywood. But January 6th is Judgment Day for a lot of politicians. Will they choose to side with the voters, or will they choose to side with their party and their selfish president?"

"For those in my party considering standing up against the voters on January 6th, know this: our grandchildren will know your names only as the villains who fought against the great American experiment and the will of the voters. You will live in infamy," wrote Schwarzenegger, who served as governor from 2003 to 2011. - The RW rag that is The Hill

Yes, we will know them by their names and remember them just as we did Benedict Arnold.

1. My dislike for Arnold has waned considerably.

I still think he's a one-note mediocre actor, an unremarkable governor, and someone who should consider himself lucky to have avoided the MeToo era, but at least he deals in reality.

Unlike other celebrity-turned-Republican politicians.

2. +1

But nobody could have played a terminator better than him.

Unlike Clint Eastwood who I can't stand anymore.

15. Thank you for putting in a good word for the Terminator.

Especially T2.

5. Agree, but still, I love some of his movies & his campy one-liners.

Commando - "I eat Green Berets for breakfast & right now I'm very, very hungry."

Raw Deal - "You should not drink and bake."

The Running Man - "Killian, Sub-zero, now plain zero." Although the very best line in that movie was by Yaphet Kotto as his character lay bleeding out, "I don't want to be the only asshole in heaven."

7. They do serve an entertaining purpose.

And I wouldn't say I don't enjoy many of his movies or his one liners. I just don't think we'll ever expect to see him winning an Oscar or having that one breakout role that shows an unexpected level of depth.

But that's true for so many popular actors and actresses that I enjoy.

16. Sometimes there are surprises. I remember thinking Sharon Stone would come

to nothing, but then along came Casino. Same with Natalie Portman and Black Swan.

17. Kindergarten Cop was a riot

9. Kindergarten Cop: "I'm the party pooper"

Those are good. Thanks for reminding me.

19. LOL.

I'm going to have to watch this one again. I don't remember it very well.

11. The Running Man was a really fun little film

My favorite part was how bad my ex-wife hated it because it wasn’t just like the book. Problem is, a movie just like that book would have been terrible.

18. It is a fun movie.

Few movies are better than the book, but this was one, IMO. And the casting was spot on. Killian couldn't have been cast more perfectly than Richard Dawkins.

13. "IT'S NOT A TUMOR"...

Still repeat this line frequently in my house....

20. He could be funny!

I never understood why he was a republican. He had a good sense of humor & didn't seem to take himself to seriously, a trait I see in most repubs.

[RazBerryBeret]

21. agree, I don't get it either

he married a Kennedy, he lives in CA where he has pet ponies and donkeys, which he allows in his house according to his social media. But he can be super funny, i remember him poking fun at Sarah Palin on twitter.

3. the Austrian/American knows his Nazi history and should be listened to.

6. THIS

4. I hafta admit I am liking the Terminator more day by day.

He needs to officially announce he isn’t a Repuke anymore. If he has not already done so.

[jeffreyi]

8. Yeah, me too.

I like his little equine, also.

10. Well, truly, and eloquently said, Governor. Thank you. (nt)

12. Looks like the gropinator is trying to redeem himself.
