The US is over her tired ass. She can't get work in films so she's turning to TV. She'll still be ugly on TV screens.
So Ellen's taken to TV to cry -- as only an entitled White woman can.
The actor who plays Jamal, Jussie Smallett, has revealed he was attacked in Chicago.
Was it homophobia? Probably.
It was also racism.
Ellen Page is White. She really needs to shut the f**k up and stop making everything about herself. She is the biggest drama queen of all time.
When she was 18 and filming one of those X-Men films, Brett Ratnor pointed to a woman and said that woman should f**k Ellen so she'd realize she was gay.
Ellen has said that was "outing" her. She also says she didn't realize she was gay at the time.
How stupid is this bitch?
Apparently, she's as stupid as she is ugly.
With no career left, she's trying to use Jussie Smallett to promote herself.
So she goes on talk shows to cry about the attack -- that was not an attack on her but pushy White bitches always try to make it about themselves.
Worse, she thinks, as a Canadian, that she needs to make it US political and she's blaming the attack on Mike Pence.
Racist bitch, shut the f**k up.
You think we're all going to fawn over you.
Mike Pence is not responsible unless he himself attacked Jussie or ordered the attack.
That's as stupid as claiming Taxi Driver is responsible for the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.
Ellen needs to go back to Canada and play some version of an ugly bitch there.
I have no respect for any stupid bitch that takes an attack on an African-American man and tries to make it all about her own White ass.
Here's C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Friday, February 1, 2019. Australia's government admits some civilians
might have been killed in Mosul bombings, Amnesty International calls
for other governments to step forward, and much more.

From yesterday's snapshot:
The Iraqi government remains corrupt, remains unresponsive to the needs of the people, continues to arrest protesters and reporters covering protests (as events in Basra have demonstrated). And every year, they train and retrain and then train again the Iraqi military in an effort to get it up to speed. Of course, the Iraqi military repeatedly fails.
The western press repeatedly works overtime to lie about that. The Iraqi military would not have 'won' Mosul without US war planes blindly bombing Mosul -- a city full of civilians.
Andrew Tillet (Australia's FINANCIAL REVIEW) reported yesterday:
Australian fighter jets were involved in an air strike believed to have killed up to 18 civilians while fighting Islamic State terrorists in Iraq - the highest casualty rate implicating Australian forces - Defence chiefs have revealed.
But the pilots have been cleared of wrongdoing, with the investigation finding they had acted in accordance with their rules of engagement and laws of armed conflict as part of desperate efforts to save the lives of Iraqi soldiers during brutal urban combat to liberate West Mosul.
While I have no problem with the pilots being cleared of wrongdoing, I do have a problem with those over the strikes and the policy of the strikes being cleared of wrongdoing. Mosul is a highly populated city. That was known. That was known before the US or any other government started dropping bombs on Mosul to 'fight' ISIS. There were no 'precision' strikes. That's a lie used to lull the public into stupidity so they won't object to what's really going on -- the equivalent of carpet bombing schools, places of worship, homes, etc.

The
deaths have been attributed to a lack of solid intelligence on the
ground as Iraqi troops fought, with no time to properly assess whether
surrounding buildings were clear of civilians before bombs were dropped.

#Breaking 
#Australia: Defence Force officials have admitted Australian jets were involved in an #airstrike, which killed #civilians in #Iraq #MENAThis morning, Amnesty International issued the following statement:
Responding to the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) admission that its air strikes in Mosul, Iraq may have caused up to 18 civilian deaths in 2017, Lynn Maalouf, Amnesty International’s Middle East Research Director, said:
“The Australian Defence Force’s latest admission that its air strikes killed civilians during the battle for Mosul in 2017 is a step in the right direction. Once again, the Australian government has proven more willing to take responsibility for causing loss of civilian life than its coalition partners, including the UK, USA and France.
“The matter must not end here, however. The ADF should continue to lead by example by providing the further details necessary to help an independent assessment of whether this attack and its operations in Mosul complied with international humanitarian law. We know that an Australian plane struck a target in West Mosul and unintentionally killed up to 18 civilians in a nearby house. In order to understand how this happened the ADF needs to disclose more information, including the type of weapon used in the strike, the nature of the target, what measures were taken to ensure that the target was a military objective, whether other means or methods of attack that would have minimized the risk to civilians were considered, and what was done to collect information about the presence of civilians in the vicinity.
The ADF has taken a positive step by acknowledging that their attacks resulted in civilian casualties. What they must do now is provide the victims’ families with the best chance of achieving justice and accountability. The way to do this is to release the further information required.

On 31 January 2019, the Australian Defence Force’s Air Marshal Mel Hupfeld acknowledged that as many as 18 civilians were killed in an attack on a target in West Mosul in which two Australian Super Hornet F-18 jets were involved on 13 June 2017. This follows a previous ADF admission on 28 March 2018 that it killed two adults and injured two children in a strike on Mosul that came to light following Amnesty International investigations on the ground.
Background
The Coalition’s battle to wrest Mosul from the armed group calling itself Islamic State (IS) began in October 2016 and ended in July 2017. Throughout the campaign, and especially in its later stages in West Mosul, the Coalition relied heavily upon air power, despite the presence of civilians trapped in the city by IS. Amnesty International revealed the effects of this upon the civilian population with its July 2017 report, At Any Cost: The Civilian Catastrophe in West Mosul, Iraq.On 31 January 2019, the Australian Defence Force’s Air Marshal Mel Hupfeld acknowledged that as many as 18 civilians were killed in an attack on a target in West Mosul in which two Australian Super Hornet F-18 jets were involved on 13 June 2017. This follows a previous ADF admission on 28 March 2018 that it killed two adults and injured two children in a strike on Mosul that came to light following Amnesty International investigations on the ground.
Will other governments come clean? Will the US government specifically? Probably not. The US government is involved in countless wars while currently working for war with Iran and Venezuela. Bombing from war planes has always been less 'offensive' to the American people. It's boots off the ground and, in an operation like Mosul, there's little chance of American fatalities since a group like ISIS (being a terrorist group and not the military of another country) doesn't have a fleet of airplanes.
So they know they can blindly bomb an area for weeks, months, in Mosul's case, years and the American people won't pour into the street or even bat an eye due to being lied to that these are 'precision' strikes and that the government of the United States has done 'everything possible to minimize civilian casualties.'
No, they haven't.
They haven't done anything to minimize civilian casualties. As for doing 'everything' to minimize, doing everything would include not bombing civilian areas. But they did bomb civilian areas -- over and over and over.
The US government will most likely never get honest about civilian casualties. At some point in the near future (say, five years on down the line), they'll offer an under-count of the civilians killed in the Mosul bombings -- but only when they can claim some new technology has come along to make the strikes even more 'precise.' They'll use that to sell more strikes.
It's really outrageous how little the media cares about the bombs being dropped. (And if the media doesn't cover it, the American people have a hard time hearing about it.)
Amnesty's issued a statement and applause for that but, as we've noted repeatedly of late, there's no statement on the bombings in Iraq carried out by the Turkish government. From Monday's snapshot:
Saturday (see "Protests in Iraq" and "About those US bases in Iraq . . ."), protesters stormed a Dohuk base (Dohuk is in northern Iraq and part of the Kurdistan Regional Government). They were angry over Turkish war planes bombing the area the day before and killing civilians. Salar Salim and Qassim Abdul-Zahra (AP) report the number of civilians killed in the bombing was six. The Turkish military -- at their base in Dohuk -- fired at the protesters killing 1 and injuring ten more.
AFP reports, "Iraq Sunday said it would summon the Turkish ambassador over the death of a Kurdish protester after Turkish troops opened fire on demonstrators in the country’s northwest." SPUTNIK adds:
According to the statement, the note read that Ankara’s "actions are a violation of sovereignty, incompatible with friendly relations and brotherhood between the two countries, and called on the Turkish side to stop such unilateral actions."
Maybe the issue of Turkey's bombings can finally get serious attention? Meaning that the discussion moves beyond the wire services?
Turkey has used the PKK as an excuse to bomb the Kurdish region of northern Iraq for over a decade. The semi-autonomous KRG is the closet thing to a Kurdish homeland that the world has. Is no one offended that Turkey repeatedly bombs this region? Does no one see it as an extension of the targeting of Kurds that Turkey does within its own borders?
It's really past time for a serious conversation to take place about what has been happening.
If it does, as Blondie might ask, "Will Anything Happen?"
It's the first of the month. UNAMI hasn't released its under-count of the dead for January yet but will do so later today. Margaret Griffis (ANTIWAR.COM) offers:
During January, 184 people were killed, and 178 were wounded. Security forces also found 142 bodies in older graves. At least 45 civilians, 25 security personnel, and 65 militants were reported killed; 84 civilians and 94 security personnel were wounded. The conflict between Turkey and Kurdistan Workers’ Party (P.K.K.) left at least 49 guerrillas dead. These numbers are similar to the December casualty figures with only the number of wounded being significantly higher. Fewer bodies were removed from mass graves.
