    No, a movie cameo is not free speech nor is it history, You as usual are making a big pile of shit out of nothing. You will never get your fingernails clean.
    Wrong. The link in the OP, if you bother to watch it, makes it clear that people on-line are the ones doing this, not the movie maker or stations that might play it.

    Trolls don't even bother anymore. Like the Capitol mob, they want to be identified.

Or, is it just you agree with Cancel Culture and the eradication of all opposition to your own views and opinions?
    Don't know why you bother with that miserable old sod, total arsehole.

    That's fine. Calling for it to be removed from the movie is absolutely wrong.

    How will they plan to do that? Confiscate all VHS tapes, DVDs and Blurays? Forbid Amazon and other stores from selling the original?

    Gardner wants the government to prevent a private company from editing its own property.

    Because the best counter to idiot, insane, Leftist speech is factual, rational non-Leftist speech. It drives them crazy. In person, you can easily egg them into assaulting you (don't worry, they fight like little girls)

    Agreed, a petty act....but hardly 1984 parallel....that would require a removal of any reference, photo or record of Donald J. Trump from EVERY recorded source (print, audio, visual) in the USA/allied countries. Don't think that's going to happen, as people NEED to remember in detail the cluster fuck that was President Donny Dump. That way, hopefully, it won't happen again.
    During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

    If the Left could do it, they would do it.

    It's like some righties do not know what 1984 is all about.

    That's unfortunate.
