Attempted stupid stunt [schemed by Michael Caputo] shows how pathetic the plan was. I would not be surprised if the negative reviews of each artist and why they would not be invited to participate in the attempted / now cancelled had to have been done by the christofascist VP [and his pet housefly] along with other crazy fundamentalist staff members.
imo any artist that wants to keep career afloat wouldn't want to be involved in the attempted project. If anything, it was probably just a scam to steal more money from the Treasury.

Report: Trump admin document says Billie Eilish is “destroying our country and everything we care about”
Today, the Washington Post reported that a $250 ad campaign ostensibly designed to "defeat despair" caused by the coronavirus pandemic was tailored boost Trump's re-election chances. Little surprise there, right? As Trump's appointees and contractors considered which celebrities to ask to star in the ads, candidates were flat-out rejected if they were seen to be opponents of the president and his policies.
According to leaked documents obtained by the Post, the Trump administration was not keen on asking Billie Eilish to participate: the documents describe Eilish as “not a Trump Supporter” and “destroying our country and everything we care about." It's not revealed how the Trump administration reached this equally terrifying and hilarious conclusion.
Out of 274 celebrities considered, 10 were approved. Other rejected celebrities included Jennifer (for her Super Bowl performance which criticized Trump's immigration policies), Justin Timberlake ("publicly endorsed Obama and supports gay marriage," according to the Trump admin document), and Christina Aguilera (“is an Obama-supporting Democrat and a gay rights supporting liberal”). Celebrities who made the cut included actor Dennis Quaid, Dr. Oz, and Billy Ray Cyrus.
The entire campaign has been put on hold, and none of the filmed ads have aired on television. The brains behind the campaign, Trump’s Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo, is currently on a 60-day leave after a Facebook Live broadcast in which he baselessly told Trump supporters to prepare for an armed insurrection led by left-wing groups....
Not surprised of another mistake on the part of media in general of not retaining past services of manager/editorial editors reminding writers to be certain facts and quotes can be verified and correct before publishing a news article.
A bummer we can't get the "passenger in the train car with Mr. Bean" pointing at the jackass and laughing at him. It's stuff like that which supposedly upsets the jackass of being ridiculed. He hates being laughed at in front of him.
I don't remember the name of the guy playing the character role [an entertaining rendition imo], but I recall reading he was a host of various UK shows in 1980s and 1990s.
