Robert De Niro wins ovation for 'Fuck Trump' speech at the Tony awards
Introducing a performance by Bruce Springsteen, the actor twice denounces the president, but his words are bleeped out for TV audiences.
The actor Robert De Niro won a standing ovation at Sunday night’s Tony awards in New York for attacking the president. Appearing on stage at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, De Niro declared: “I’m gonna say one thing. Fuck Trump.”
As the applauding audience rose to their feet, De Niro continued: “It’s no longer down with Trump. It’s fuck Trump.” He then continued with an apparently prepared introduction of Bruce Springsteen.
Although the show was broadcast as-live, CBS had time to bleep out the f-word for TV audiences, thought to number around six million.
De Niro has long been a vociferous critic of Donald Trump. After calling him “totally nuts” in August 2016, the actor released a video during the election campaign stating his desire to punch Trump in the face, and calling him “an idiot, a national disaster, an embarrassment to this country … this fool, this bozo”.
However, Trump’s tenure does not appear to have impressed De Niro. In May 2017, he criticised the president’s immigration policy at a Lincoln Center gala, and just over a year ago, he hit out again in a speech at Brown University, calling America under the current administration a “tragic, dumbass comedy” and urging students to “work for the change. Work to stop the insanity.”
Last month, it was reported that De Niro had banned the president from his Nobu chain of restaurants. However, this was later denied by a representative for the actor and disputed by co-owner Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa, who said: “It’s my dream for Trump to sit next to Bob. To make them sushi!”
Musical The Band’s Visit was the major winner at the Tony’s, picking up 10 awards. The Broadway transfer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child took seven awards, including best play, while Glenda Jackson won best actress in a play for her role in Three Tall Women and Andrew Garfield was named best actor in a play for his role in Angels in America.

AT&T will obsolete landlines by 2020
I don't own a cellphone, never have, and see no need for one ..I make 4-5 calls a MONTH. Those are to my Doc. So, I am on that landline phone yesterday with AT&T (to disconnect)and the support guy tells me that AT&T will obsolete landlines by 2020. This is not good news for old folks who still rely on them. Especially poor old folks...
Republican's playbook: abortion, next same sex marriage...
The anti-abortion movement used state laws to methodically dismantle abortion rights. Now, conservatives are using the same tactics to erode same-sex marriage protections. Without strong progressives in state government, our victories are left vulnerable.
