Mega Actor Makes ‘Joke’ Towards Trump That Sounds More Like a Threat
By Patrick Smith. In a year that he would like to forget, which included his acrimonious divorce to Amber Heard, Johnny Depp appeared at a Q&A at the new Cinemageddon stage at Glastonbury.
Introducing his 2004 film The Libertine, about a 17th-century poet who notoriously drank himself to an early death, the 54-year-old chose to discuss American politics.
“I think [Donald] Trump needs help,” he said. “There are a lot of dark places he could go.”
He added: “I’m not insinuating anything – by the way this will be in the press and it will be horrible – but when was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”
Responding to loud cheers, Depp said: “Don’t worry, I’m not an actor, I lie for a living.” (Read more from “Mega Actor Makes ‘Joke’ Towards Trump That Sounds More Like a Threat” HERE)

Elise Jordan Says Defending Trump ‘Like Hugging a Suicide Bomber’
By Aidan McLaughlin. Elise Jordan warned Republicans against defending a fact-challenged President Donald Trump, comparing doing so to “hugging a suicide bomber” on MSNBC Thursday.
The comments were in response to Trump’s latest tweets undermining his previous statement hinting that he may have recorded tapes of his conversations with former FBI director James Comey . . .
MSNBC’s Craig Melvin asked Jordan about the president’s tweets, noting “it would seem as if the president may have been lying all along about the existence of these tapes.”
“No, he’s just wasting — he wasted the country’s collective time speculating over whether these tapes existed or not,” Jordan said. “It’s a sad day when you cannot depend on the president’s word.”
Jordan — a Bush White House aide turned MSNBC analyst and TIME contributor — then doled out some advice for Republican lawmakers: “My advice would just be to Republicans who do cozy up to him — it’s like hugging a suicide bomber.” (Read more from “Elise Jordan Says Defending Trump ‘Like Hugging a Suicide Bomber'” HERE)
