Since this announcement was made, the radically liberal stars of Hollywood have been doing whatever they can do delegitimize the highest court in the land in the eyes of the American people, with the actress Ellen Barkin kicking things off by bluntly saying “FuckTheSupremeCourt.” Hollywood Stars Lose Their Minds Barbra Streisand, who has long had one of the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome of anyone in Hollywood, had a…

During Atlanta’s 114-102 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Murray was given a technical foul during a timeout while sitting on the sideline.
