Brooklyn: don't miss a chance to see one of the greatest, most moving, most disgusting horror films ever released by a major studio, on 35 mm

It's inconceivable that there isn't a single major protest in America. People are mostly busy with trivial shit like this one below. Why don't you all take to the streets and, in peaceful and dignified protests, remove this slime from the White House before it's too late?
