More push to fire Carano because of... uh, what happened in DC?

They idiocy knows no bounds and its just getting too much.

As peaceful as I usually am, I really want sometimes for someone to punch every single woke idiot square in the face, when they open their retarded mouths to spout another pile of toxicity and hatred.

Little late but I loved Season 2. Deepfake Luke is jarring but it was still cool as hell. Darktroopers being big, badass, threatening droids was tight, and seeing Fett come back with a dad-bod was great. I can’t understate how much I love this show, and how excited I am for its future. Sucks that season 3 won’t premiere until next year at the earliest when I’m ready for it tonight, but I’ll make do. Feels good to have Star Wars stuff that I’m watching out of passion and intrigue instead of some fake obligation.

I assume Season 3 will be the last, especially if Baby Yoda isn't in any of the episodes. Also with Boba Fett and Ahsoka getting their own shows, there's not much incentive to keep this one going still. For the most part his story appears to be drawing to a close anyway now that he's not in protection of the child anymore, they'll probably just make some Mandalorian story arc where he reunited with his people and end it there.

Good, into the trash. Even besides real life stuff, in the show she was a boring character and a horrible actress. She won't be missed.

There's something ironic about that considering some similar stuff that was coming out of Dem's mouths on every platform on Earth the last several years.

Very true. Also: isn't she proving her point?

Kevin Sorbo, Tim Allen, Dean Cain, Others: "You are simply not allowed to have a Conservative viewpoint and work in Hollywood. If you are a Conservative, you are not allowed to work. It is a rule."

Liberals: "What utter nonsense. You specific people don't get work because you're not relevant, NOT because you're Conservatives. There IS no anti-Conservative bias in Hollywood, you're simply old and washed-up. Stop crying. Your 15 minutes were up long ago."

Also Liberals: "Let's get that young, popular, relevant actress fired from the hottest show on streaming, because she says things we don't like."

And they don't even f*cking notice. That's the crazy thing. They don't even notice their own disingenuous bullsh*t.

Of course there's an anti-Conservative bias in Hollywood. She should lawyer up and sue for discrimination. I would. Jobs aren't supposed to fire you for your religious, political, etc. beliefs. Sure, most employers get around that with the whole "At-Will Employment" nonsense where you accept upfront that you can be fired for no reason whatsoever, BUT if it can be proven that you lost a job specifically for your political affiliation then you can still come out ahead in court. She's got an airtight case. She literally got fired from her job for no reason other than being a Conservative, and her Twitter is proof. Seriously, she should sue. She'd at least get a settlement, there's no way she'd lose. It's open and shut.

I wonder what flavor of Hypocrisy most liberals prefer. My favorite is Cherry.

They probably had her sign some crazy SJW fineprint that insulates them from this.

That ain't legal. You can't be fired for being a woman, or being gay, and it also ain't legal to be fired for being a Republican.

She'll get a settlement. F*ck it, she's an "out" Republican, she's never gonna work again anyway. Might as well sue. She'll get something. Nothing left to lose, at any rate.

Didn’t really like her anyway. Not a major loss. Her acting somehow got worse with every appearance and she doesn’t seem like the brightest if she has a multi-million dollar job and isn’t wise enough to keep her mouth shut on Twitter. You’re an actress, not a politician. I don’t want to hear your political BS, and I don’t care who’s side you’re on.

Pretty sure she was fired just for being a Grade-A dumbass on social media, not because her political affiliations.

Carano did this to herself. If she had used her brain, she would have stopped poking the bull months ago instead of doubling down on social media.

Look, I agree that celebrities shouldn't be on Twitter. Nothing good ever comes from that.

But she wasn't fired for "being a dumbass on Twitter", her Twitter itself is ironclad proof that she was fired strictly for being a Conservative, for espousing Conservative viewpoints on her off-time on her own personal forum. Which is illegal. You can't do that. Even in "at-will employment" situations, there are things that are illegal to use as justification to fire someone, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.

I don't have a horse in the race; I don't watch the show and I don't really even know who she is. But she's got a case if she wants to try and squeeze Disney for a wrongful termination suit. She'll absolutely get a settlement just to make her go away, because if it actually gets in front of a judge she might actually win. Therefore, Disney would rather just pay her a much smaller amount just to make her get lost.

Teachers get fired for this kinda thing all the time, too. Most of them file suit, and they usually get a settlement, and it goes away.

That's what she should do. Why not? If a teacher who got fired for going to a Trump rally can get a bunch of money from the school board, surely this one can get a few million in severance from Disney if she shakes their cage a bit. If she doesn't, then she's an idiot.

Disney were all set to announce her as the star of another Mando spin-off at the Investors Day event back in December. Her tweets put a stop to that, so they've been sitting on this decision for a while and she was already being denied further opportunities.
