NBCLatino Zzzzzz

NBCLatino Atlanta ... o wait. well always got books

NBCLatino Let’s cut to the chase...he’s scrambling to find his next move now that he knows the FBI and half of LA have caught onto his b.s. lies.

NBCLatino Isn't that looks like.... Communism ? You make movies with the people WE WANT. how is this legal ?

NBCLatino Apparently symbolic victories are more important than actual ones. Why not tackle the homelessness issue or the increasing cost of living in a liberal state?

NBCLatino Just get more salmahayek

NBCLatino He has zero power in Hollywood lmao his checkbook isn't even fucking close to big enough. Maybe handle the homeless crisis instead

NBCLatino That’s a noble undertaking...in a state where homelessness is a problem of epidemic proportions. Seems like he should focus his efforts elsewhere. Perhaps he needs an in depth exposé by MATTLAUER
