Sally Field Happy Birthday??? Hardly!!! Star Trashes Harris-Walz Signs After Trump Win

Sally Field was not having much of a fun birthday on Wednesday ... which was on full display when she was snapped trashing her Kamala Harris signs after Donald Trump won reelection.

Looking somewhat dejected, Sally tossed the signs into the trash cans outside her Los Angeles home ... clearly showing she was at best, sad -- at worst, pissed -- over DT's victory.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Back in August, Sally posted on IG when Harris officially accepted the nomination ... "I've not been on social media. Not since it became public toilet paper for our former crook of a President. But 'hope is making a comeback.' So here I am. This is me. And this is my dog, Dash. Buckle up,"

SF was among the cavalcade of stars who put their full support behind Kamala ... endorsements that clearly did nothing to move the needle -- as evident in DT also winning the popular vote this time around.

One celeb who backed Trump -- Kid Rock -- definitely celebrated DT's win ... and made a surprising request to his fans and fellow Trumpers ... let's all just get along now!

HIS MESSAGE

In a video he posted to IG ... KD dropped the act and appeared as himself, Robert Ritchie ... and told his fans it's time to come together as a country and let go of animosity for one another.

"We must remember that most of our left-leaning friends are good people who want the same things in life as we do, but simply think differently on how to get there," he implored.

Still ... it's probably not the best time to ask Sally if she got that message.

Farrah Abraham Lib Ladies' Sex Strike Over Trump Win Is Silly!!! Just Pushing Men to Right-Wing Gals and Porn

Some liberal women are on a sex strike to punish men over Donald Trump being reelected president ... but it might not work out how they envision -- so says Farrah Abraham.

Here's the skinny ... Dems seemed to think a possible DT defeat would be a referendum on abortion rights. And as that did not happen, some women are calling for a sex strike along the lines of "4B," a trend that began in South Korea in 2018 in the wake of America's #MeToo movement.

Farrah tells TMZ ... she is all for women choosing to be abstinent, and that they should have bodily autonomy -- but a sex strike simply over DT's win is pretty lame.

TRASH OF THE TITANS
HBO

You'da thunk Bill Maher would have ended his show Friday night with reasons why the Dems lost the election, but he talked about something way more urgent ... we're all going to die because of plastics.

The 'Real Time' host laid it out in stark terms ... the oceans are dying because there really is a floating island of garbage -- actually more than one -- but it has nothing to do with the MSG insult comic.

There's a garbage patch, for example, in the Pacific 3 times the size of France, and a huge portion is made up of plastics. As Bill says, plastics are now in everything ... our soil, our foods, even our Kardashians!
