Pressure mounting on Mark Burnett to release The Apprentice tapes of bigoted/scandalous speech/behavior from Trump but he won't

Tom Arnold also asked for them and here's what he said about his chat with Burnett

It won’t matter.

His supporters don’t care. And Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan will twist themselves in knots to ignore and excuse it.

R2 it would still be important to get it out there if such a tape exists. The more we know about who he is behind the scenes, the better. It might fire up more non-voters to get off their apathetic lazy asses and vote against repubs

It won't. They don't care. His base will not abandon him over a nasty word that many of them use.

"The more we know about who he is", we already know who he is.

If Burnett does not have the power to release the tapes, then who does?

He must know. Is it the network?

He doesn't want to, he and his wife are deplorables. Boycott all his productions.

So Tom Arnold and Omarosa are the only two people who actually said such a tape exists?

^ Correct.

Bring Trump down. These tapes, if they exist, will ruin him. Release them.

This would end up pushing Roseanne over the edge!

I think she'd have to find some new edges to be pushed over, but let's hope so R10!

Trump is threatening him if he does so. AND he doesn't really want to anyway.

R9 : O honey!!!

If his own misspelled, ignorant, ranting bullshit tweets have not already ruined nothing will....

wasn't he the star of that crap movie, "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave" ??

[quote]Boycott all his productions.

I always have. He was deplorable long before he was A Deplorable.

**ruined HIM**

these asshole could care less if you "boycott" their bullshit TV Shows or whatever...... really, how many people have to do this for it to make one iota of a difference??....

speaking of boycotting, I think all of us have a zero chance of this doing ANY good, due to the average intelligence of the public, but i hope you all will Boycott Dancing with the stars JUNIOR. Please. Honey Boo Boo will be embarrassing the fuck out of herself on this unnecessary show soon.

when does this shit show stop? Dancing with the Fetuses???

He’s not going to give up those tapes. They’ve probably got something on him and he’s being threatened to stop them being released.

He wouldn’t go to this much trouble otherwise.

Who cares about his base.

We want moderate republicans voting dem.

This will do the trick.

The more evidence that is brought out to the public regarding this faux 'President' s poor character, the better. It will sway the people who didn't vote. and change the minds of at least some Republicans. I mean there were some idiots who still lived Hitler after all his crimes were brought to light. There are always a few who stand behind a monster because they, too, are monsters. Such people are a SMALL segment of the public.

Burnett is a Bible thumper.. he's probably part of the Christian Taliban that supports trump.

R19 Exactly. Ignore the "it won't matter to his base" troll. We need to get the lazy ass people to vote, not change the mind of the brainwashed deplorables.

I really don’t think it will matter. Only a fucking moron thinks Trump isn’t a racist, sexist con artist at this point. And his cult of Deplorables use the N word too, a lot.

I just hope it gets more non-whites to the polls on the D side. Though not sure why they wouldn’t come out anyway, against this brazenly racist moron.

Why would Trump be concerned about there being tapes of him using "the 'N' word" existed if he didn't use it when cameras were around?

R23.. Exactly. Why would trump be tweeting and trying to obstruct Mueller's investigation, if he wasn't guilty?

Release the tapes and all of his supporters will be proudly wearing shirts with the word emblazoned on the front.

R25 Since they say they want a race war, I wonder why they haven't already? Maybe they are just too chicken?

[quote] I wonder why they haven't already?

Because:

a) indeed, they are chicken;

b) they know they'd lose;

c) it scares them that they know people of other races have guns, too;

d) all of the above.

rumor this morning: Burnett is trying to dod a "reality" show with Putin.

No one cares about his racist base R2. They will be left behind. Goodbye. Good riddance. The tapes need to be released so others are motivated to get rid of him, like minorities, who widely sat out the last election. His base doesn’t matter.

Of course he won't release them.

Burnett is a fundie xtian nutbag - there really isn't much else to say about him.

R30: How bad is Mark Burnett?

Mark Burnett, his production company, and all his friends got a huge tax cut from this administration. They like him just fine and will stay loyal to the end.

[quote][R30]: How bad is Mark Burnett?

Married to Roma Downey and is counted among the most influential fundie xtian celebrities - makes such gems as:

Women in the Bible

The Bible

AD The Bible Continues

[quote]Mark Burnett and Roma Downey are developing a scripted religious drama entitled “Messiah” for Netflix, Variety has confirmed

"Birds of a feather flock together."

I'd bet money there are stuff he says that he doesn't want getting out.

Burnett supports Trump. He won't release tapes. In fact, he says he'll sue anyone who releases them

That said, Omarosa said she recently heard them. They are likely not from Burnett. So someone else has the tapes too.

They can be released anonymously.

Burnett is a hero to conservatives, and he would lose a significant amount of viewers for his shows like Survivor and The Voice if her released the tapes. He and his wife also produce religious programming that attracts millions of Christian viewers. You better believe that most of those Christian viewers also voted for Trump.

Mark Burnett does not care about his country. He cares about money and making more money.

R38 Mark Burnett is English.

Burnett has probably already destroyed any tape of Trump's racist rants. They're long gone.

Omarosa said she recently heard a tape--so it's out there. I wonder if she used her recording pen to record that tape?

Interesting that Tom Arnold said a year or two ago that he had the "N" word tape and now he's on the hunt, after it.

R41 Let's not forget that Omarosa is also a liar and story twister. I don't care if she lies or whatever she does if it means taking Trump down. But let's not forget that she is a dishonest deplorable. A liar.

R43 The more important thing is Trump is a dirty liar, and needs to be removed from office. Omarosa is a private citizen and her character does not affect national policies or our lives directly.

Omarosa is as apolitical as she is amoral. All she cares about is herself and making a buck. When she worked in the Clinton White House she was a Democrat. When she worked in the Twitler White House she was a Republican. Like Trump, she's a person of no core beliefs other than GIMME MORE.

It's not just Tom Arnold and Omarosa who have talked about the existence of Trump talking racist, sexist, unacceptable shit on Apprentice tapes. That story has been floating around for years. Burnett and Trump can sue the person who releases it if they can find him but it will still hurt them. Evangelical Christians rely on the African American community to put butts in pews, donations in the box and watch their shitty, infantilizing Jebus shows.

The tape will come out. Even if it didn't Twitler's taken a body blow on this today and it's not the last. He is a racist, he knows it, we know it, everyone knows it. He conspired with the Russians to defraud the election, he knows it, we know it, everyone knows it.

Orangina is going down in shame and disgrace, as well he should.

Deport his ass. He's an enemy of the state.

Yeah sure jan. A fucking n word tape will bring trump down when grabbing pussy tape failed to ruin his chances. most of you are delusional.

^ I agree. His base does not fucking care. But the delusional won't listen.

They think that Omarosa telling stories of how Trump lusts after his daughter Ivanka and ate a piece of note paper at a meeting and said the N word is going to take him down. We already know all of this. And he's still there. She's not telling us anything we don't know. She's the one who found out after the fact. If this self-serving opportunist had not been fired she'd still be kissing his ass and promoting his re-election.

He's a staunch Catholic. One thing you can count on is that he's a big fat liar

R48 We know his base doesn't care. Any bad press on Trump will help mobilize other voters.

[quote]Trump is threatening him if he does so.

Why is Trump threatening him?

If Trump didn't say anything racist like he claims, then what is he afraid of?

^ Right. If Trump is threatening him if he releases the tapes, then there must be an N word tape.

Everyone needs to boycott his shows until he releases the tapes.

#BoycottBurnett has a nice ring to it!

Trump referred to Omarosa as a "dog" in one of his latest tweets, so it's certainly plausible that he may have said racist things on 'The Apprentice':

The rethugs attacked Hillary with a death by a thousand cuts.

The trolls saying "what does it matter? The deplorables will still love him" know this.

This would be just another cut in the death by a thousand cuts dump's career deserves.

I was perusing Roma Downey's Twitter and Instagram feeds today and they are full of faux feel-good sayings and " chicken soup for the soul of the Fundy" type bull$hit.

Mug cradling at it's best.

She's been remarkably low key but she has this cadre of followers who respond to her every post with "Amen!" and "God bless you!" like a bunch of disgusting little lemmings.

I think she would be greatly dismayed if her poats got trolled by a troop of poo- and mud-flinging gays.

She'd be more susceptible than her husband because it looks like she actually sees herself as a spiritual leader to her little frau army.

R56 I hate the "His base won't care" troll(s). They pop up on all the Trump thread. If it doesn't matter, why the heck are they even posting about it? Except to do damage control for Dear Leader and misle people into apathy.

Roma Downey killed Della Reese and John Dye.

Look out Valerie Bertinelli!

From Wikipedia, Burnett's productions:

The Voice (NBC),

Survivor (CBS),

Shark Tank (ABC),

Kevin Hart's TKO (CBS)

Jamie Foxx's Beat Shazam (FOX)

The Contender (EPIX)

It might be a good idea to troll the social media accounts for these productions. Make sure that everybody knows who is in charge of them and what he's done for our great nation.

Lucha Underground (The El Rey Network)

It would matter, because it would be an impeachable offence. He can't be president for all people if these tapes exist

R59 OMG Roma used to trot out poor old half dead Della on her Instagram on the regular. "Had lunch today with my best friend Della! #blessed" along with pix of this poor old lady who iooked like just leaving the old folks home was an existential threat to her. She really laid it on thick when she died too. All part of that Touched by an Angel persona she cultivates.

Didn't Mark cheat on his first wife? How Christian of him. No, really, that's exactly what Christian men do, cheat, lie and be greedy! They just tell the dumb fuck faithful the opposite.

I never watched any of Burnett's shows, anyway. I was never into "Survivor", and am definitely not interested in his "Christian" offerings.

If there is evidence of Trump uttering the “n” word on tape, this will only endear further with his deplorables. They use this word continually among their families, friends and acquaintances. They WANT hear Trump use the “n” word; it will publicly validate their feelings, as pathetic as they are. They will cheer him on, likely his poll numbers will rise. This country is full of racist, hateful and willfully ignorant people.

Using the N word, and other disgusting racial and sexist, hateful behavior.. only makes his base feel more "empowered". trump allows them to fly their hate flag openly.

Remember when I thought Nepal was a country called 'Nipple'? Well, I just mispronunciated Niger. Easy mistake! Who can keep all those shitholes straight. I heard Hillary say it, too! #notracist #MAGA Pronounced May-gay, right? See. Witch Hunt!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is confirming that he heard Trump say the n-word on the Apprentice set.

WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THE BASE R48 YOU FUCKING MORON.

IT’S TO MOTIVATE MINORITIES TO VOTE.

NO ONE HERE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HIS RETARDED RACIST MISOGYNISTIC HOMOPHOBIC CUNT BASE.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT.

BLOCKED.

I want them released so that history willhave definitive proof to properly record the kind of man our current President is.

You know that Suckabee Sanders was just parroting exactly what she was told. Trump told her or Kelly that there's no guarantee. If that weren't the case, I think she would have just said she had no way of knowing that but the president did say there wasn't a tape earlier. She threw him under the bus because that's where the fucker lives.

No one cares about his utterance of the word, except for liberals and SJWs. Keep the focus on Russia and the corruption and stop with the manufactured outrage that draws attention away from treason.

Bless your trollin’ little heart, R72.

Don Lemon just said his show reached out to Burnett for comment about Trump's claim that Burnett said no tapes exist. Burnett did not reply and declined an invitation to speak on the show

R72 The outrage is only manufactured to you trolls. If there were a tape of Obama saying racist things about white people, you think the GOP will sit around and drink tea like it's not relevant.

Remember when Obama's preacher said something controversial and the world almost ended. And, then Obama wore a tan suit and it almost ended again! World used to almost end a lot.

r7 and r8, Penn Jillette also says the tape exists and that he was in the room.

"We want moderate republicans voting dem. This will do the trick. "

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!HAHAHA!!!!!

Trump has called a black woman a "dog". You know he meant "b**ch".

I'm surprised they haven't invented a filter for Trump's tweets that just replaces certain words automatically. Or, maybe they did and that's why it said dog instead of bitch.

Isn't calling her a dog even worse than a bitch?

[quote]If there is evidence of Trump uttering the “n” word on tape, this will only endear further with his deplorables.

We don't care what the deplorables think -- that's not the point.

What matters is the way swing voters think -- if some of them are offended by Trump, they may vote against him.

R81 Yes it could be worse since it has racist connotations--literally a dog whistle to black people.

Why do people keep talking about his fucking base? Who gives a fuck about those assholes? It's the 40% of independents that need to be swayed.

I'm sick of all this "his base won't care" ragtime. Yeah, we know. Sensible people wrote off his "base" a long time ago. Roughly 30% of the American people can always be relied upon to be batshit, xenophobic racists. When we talk about things that hurt Orangina, those people are not considered. No one cares what a bunch of dumb racist reactionaries think about the presidency or anything else.

If they are unhappy that no one cares what they think, they should try thinking less about the terrible "wrongs" done to them by people of color and more about how to not be such consummate dicks.

Roma Downey had affairs with married men in Hollywood for years. That guy from Flashdance kept her as a mistress for quite a while. She hit the jackpot with Burnett and finally got one of them to marry her. It took being in a permanent threesome with Jebus.

[quote]Roma Downey had affairs with married men in Hollywood for years.

Has this ever been exposed?

I would imagine this would damage her support with her Christian base.

Mark Burnett is only as Christian as he needs to be to fleece his bible thumping viewers and Roma Downy is a delusional surgically altered Stepford wife.

so last night on Don Lemon's show they had on an NPR host who had previously interviewed a season 1 & 2 Apprentice producer Bill Pruitt. He's the one being mentioned by Omarosa, Lynne Patton and Katrina Pierson about having a tape. He had tweeted back in 2016 that there was a lot of bigoted stuff Trump said just during those 2 seasons. Now he's tight-lipped and says he doesn't have the tape etc. Sounds like he signed an NDA and was paid off

R90 I agree.

R90 Don't you love how corrupt and shameless Americans are? No wonder this country is sliding into the trash bin of history...

R92, child please. Shameless corruption is as old as our civilizations. It has nothing to do with nationality.

If he won't release the tapes. I hope someone hacks into the computer then leaks them while in the process make this dude look stupid

R93 But Americans love to say how great democracy is... What's great about it when it's the same shit warmed up?

R93, yes there is obviously corruption in all political systems.

But the American political system is more corrupted than most of its Western counterparts.

Thank you for sharing, foreign trolls, I am deeply interested in your views of America and democracy.

You don't deserve an answer but I'll give you one. Democracy is the worst system of government in the world except for all the others. Not original but there you are, kids.

Don't worry, those tapes will leak. The editors and cameramen who are filming usually have excellent memories and know where they would be, and there are always several people who have access to archives. Just get your popcorn ready.

If Burnett thinks he's taken/buried/destroyed the tapes he's delusional.

"Hi! I'm your friendly neighborhood editor who keeps copies of some pretty interesting shit."

R98 I hope so but why didn't anyone release the tapes when this topic first came up in 2016 before the election?

R100 Hush money! And there was still the thought that he was a joke candidate who wasn't gonna win.

Exactly, r101. Who seriously thought the Orange Idiot would win? He himself didn't think he would win. That's why he could say whatever he wanted about women, Rubio, Romney, etc. on the campaign trail. He was trolling but the deplorables ate it up.

Of COURSE the one person who could topple Trump is a huge fan of his and a major asshole!

Trump is the most coddled and enabled human ever born!

Della Reese needs to appear to Roma and convince her to go rogue and leak them.
