Hollywood Celebrity Calls For Americans To Shut Down Economy To Oust Trump

Hollywood celebrities say some dumb things, but we’d like to nominate this for dumbest all-time.

Patricia Arquette, who describes herself on her Twitter page as “actress — activist — troublemaker,” is calling for Americans to conduct a one-day economic shutdown in order to damage the U.S. economy and hurt President Trump.

The C-list actress posted a message to Instagram on Thursday to promote an event March 2. She told her 146,000 followers not to make any purchases for a 24-hour period.

“A REMINDER: Please contact everyone you know. On Monday, March 2nd, there is an Economic Shutdown. #Shutitdown. It’s easy,” she wrote in her post.

“DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON ANYTHING ANYWHERE. our goal is to cause a $238.2 billion dollar blip on the federal government’s records.”

I wonder if Liberalism (leftism) is contagious?

[240B]

Just another noname nobody in Hollywood attempting to become famous on Donald Trump's coattails.

[goatprairie]

I wonder how many libs are as crazy as Arquette to wish people lose jobs/go hungry because they hate someone so much. I'll bet quite a few.

When I see sh*t like this, I think of lifetime ban of ever again watching her.  The simple fact is, we just do not need airhead Hollywood pukes attempting to lead anything.  She is just one more POS that I will turn off when I see her.

I literally threw out every DVD with DeNiro that I had in my collection.  BTW, the worst movie I have seen since 1977 is The Irishman with DeNiro and Pacino.  What a piece of total crap.  I could not believe it was nominated for an Oscar.  Ugggh!!!

So I'm not supposed to buy groceries next week?

Lord, save us from stupid celebrities.   

[mortarman]

This means I get to delete the Start Network from my TV. The show Medium on that channel.

 

[GtHawk]

She describes herself as an actress, really, since when does a pair of tits act because that's about all the talent she ever had and her talent has been...........sagging shall we say?

[Free Vulcan]

Ah yes, commies - oppressing, burning, butchering, starving, destroying economies - all just to destroy their political enemies and grab power.

In otherwards, just another day at the office.

"the worst movie I have seen since 1977 is The Irishman"

 I didn't hate it, but it wasn't that good. I judge the worth of a movie on whether I'd like to watch it again. I don't really care to see it again.
It's vastly overrated.

Patricia Arquette (no idea how to pronounce that name)
I have honestly never heard of this person before today. So I looked up her filmography and immediately understood why. I've never watched anything that she has been in. Those are all shows and movies that I avoid. And now, that's a good thing.

"Ah yes, commies"

I view  them more as parasites. They don't want to give up their wealth, they simply have no idea how wealth is created. Arquette is just another stupid, liberal fool who vastly overestimates her value to the world.

Pronounced AR-KET

Comes from a family of actors.  Her brother and sister are in the business as was her father.  Her grandfather, Cliff Arquette, used to portray a character named Charley Weaver, on a number of talk shows and other tv appearances years ago. 

[catfish1957]

Z-lister desperate for any attention she can get.

Calling her a celebrity is a stretch.

[PeteS in CA]

This "brilliant" idea is proposed on Democratic Underground discussion forums just about once every 6 months since November, 2016. As demonstrated by CfA and Hobby Lobby, Progs' boycotts don't work. Dick's Sporting Goods, OTOH ...

I have a couple pair of shoes approaching wear-out, so maybe tomorrow would be a good time to go shoe shopping ... maybe some Hoka Arahi on clearance at Sports Basement ...

So I'm not supposed to buy groceries next week?

Lord, save us from stupid celebrities.   

No, not next week, just Monday.  Everybody still buys everything they need, just on a different day.  Then you pretend like that made a difference in the economy.

[rangerrebew]

Doesn't this dumb *ss realize the entertainment industry is part of the economy.  Is she willing to cut off her nose to spite her face?

I don't believe they can think beyond their next bong hit.

I am not certain if it is 'crazy" or just completely self absorbed.

To wish that the American economy goes sour just because you hate someone so much entailing all that means for average people indicates a level of mental illness.
When Obama was president, I never wished people would lose their jobs or go hungry because I greatly disliked him.

It’s not working. Dow , Nasdaq , and S&P are all up today as of now. Last weeks losses are being erased.

If I want financial advice I’d ask Warren Buffett or even someone who works in the industry, or some investment company. Heck I’d even ask that annoying guy on CNBC. What’s his name? Jim Kramer?

Just one day?  How about if I go the whole year without watching a new movie?

Well, guys, I violated the boycott.  Went to the mall, found a lovely winter turtleneck on clearance for $6.00. Then I went to the supermarket and bought some groceries.  By the way, the supermarket was well stocked -- no evidence of panic buying or shortages yet, but that might be because the coronavirus hasn't hit this area yet.

@Gefn   Reputable advisors are telling people not to go to the extreme such as taking the money out of the market and putting it under the mattress, and they are right.  Can't say if today's upswing means the market crisis is over completely, but it may be a sign that the hysterics have eased somewhat.  I'd like to think that this weekend's news conference might have actually allayed fears.  I missed most of Trump' remarks in the beginning, but the rest of the team --VP Pence, the HHS head and the other guy (Surgeon General?) sounded authoritative and reassuring, and those things were what we all needed -- not all the whining, finger pointing and stupid ideas like this boycott over the last few days.

In my area, Texas Gulf Coast, we found Wal-Mart to be sold out of any product that was "Sanitizing", wipes, lotion, etc

Bought a set of cast iron skillets.
They are currently baking in the oven for season.
