Meryl Streep speech at Golden Globes

[brycejones]

Reagan?

Now you're going to flummox them.

 

[momeNt]

ah, so now celebrities should just stay in their places and not comment. How republican: government in your classroom, and in your bedroom, telling you what your job should be, how you should live your life and spend your money and time.

These are the people that elected a deplorable celebrity, complaining about celebrities getting in their faces in public. Party of personal accountability strikes again!

I can't wait until January 20, when I roll out my new line of Trump dildos and Trump butt-plugs. Free to the first 200 conservatives that place their order!

I didn't elect a celebrity, and I believe that I may stand alone with my opinion. I am not sure I speak for republicans or democrats on this matter. I don't share any of those opinions that you are attributing to me either.

Wow, 11 pages? Who even pays attention to the Golden Globes aside from house wives?

The President-Elect?

 

[jackstar7]

I'm not going to make sweeping judgments and predictions by extrapolating beyond what it is.

THIS time, you mean.

And really, why not? At what point do we have enough data to start extrapolating about his character and likely actions?

 

[desura]

The President-Elect?

that's his industry though. Meh, I am honestly fluxxommed by people who give a crap about hollywood awards shows. I can barely get myself to watch their movies in the first place.

 

[momeNt]

Reagan?

But I think a better question is what are YOUR standards for who can be president?

I wrote in Theo Epstein and Tom Ricketts. Epstein for his ability to create systems based on fundamental ingredients for success and implement them on an organizational level, and Ricketts for his ability to identify talent and know how to take a back seat to experts.

 

[LegendKiller]

Because he desperately wants their approval. Just like he wants the approval and adoration of the old money families and high brow media circles in Manhattan. His entire life has been one long striving grasping clawing quest to obtain this yet ironically the manner in which he's tried to attain it will forever keep him from his goal.

I don't think he really wants their approval. At least not now. Now he's just willing to let them hang themselves, showing the rest of the population how out of touch they are.

He is oddly fixated on how unfair the Emmys have been to him for someone not seeking approval.

 

[LegendKiller]

Great speech imo, how will the cheeto crusted one respond? ('cause you know he cannot keep himself from not respond)

How was it great? The disabled thing has been debunked, he used the gesture several other times with non disabled people.

She has no idea what is going on in the world. She lives in hollwood, the most disconnected place on the planet.

And then to hit out at football and mma at the same time preaching acceptance?

And to do this in front of sll of her liberal cronies? It wasn't brave. It was pathetic.

You adorable snowflake.

Did you campaign on their behalf? Or just vote for them?

 

[brycejones]

\The disabled thing has been debunked,
.

In very few minds......yours being one of them.

 

[fskimospy]

Which celebrity possesses the competency to be President then? And what specifically are you basing that on?

Plenty of celebrities I'm sure. I'm basing my assessment of his incompetence on his public actions and statements about policy. He simply doesn't appear to understand what's going on. I mean this guy has suggested strategic default on the national debt, didn't know what the nuclear triad is, etc, etc. All super basic stuff that he seems confused by.

 

[Homerboy]

Wow, 11 pages? Who even pays attention to the Golden Globes aside from house wives?

That's very sexist and incredibly narrow minded of you. And my wife, who is a house wife, would probably like to punch you in the face.

I think the Golden Globes had over 20 Million viewers in the US alone.

She didn't say football and MMA were bad, she said they weren't the arts, which is true.

Bonus points for LK for whining about something he clearly didn't watch. Now THAT'S pathetic.

 

[HomerJS]

So will you help defend Donald Trump from all the "reality TV star" slurs from nearly every liberal on this forum? Maybe yourself included without checking your post history? Or is Donald's Trump experience as a businessman and outspoken character an acceptable basis from which he can build a career in politics?

If by outspoken character you mean promoting birtherism, not acceptable.

 

[momeNt]

Did you campaign on their behalf? Or just vote for them?

Just wrote them in. I have read that when Theo Epstein decides to leave baseball, there's some possibility he would consider elected office. I'm not an activist and frankly don't care enough about any of that to bother doing anything. I'm an idiot behind a keyboard on an internet forum.

 

[momeNt]

If by outspoken character you mean promoting birtherism, not acceptable.

He's been outspoken on a lot of things, birtherism is only a small part of it. A speech in 2011 he said he would tell oil producing countries you're not going to raise the fucking price. Central Park Five.

No true scotsman. At least humor me and name one?

 

[HomerJS]

I can't understand people who are willing to overlook minimum requirements for POTUS such as acting like an adult.

lol... yea, someones going to be gullible enough to fall into that trap.
I name celeb (a)
you denounce them as unqualified because 'reasons'
I name celeb (b)
see above

lather, rinse, repeat.

That's subjective and alarmingly normative in this day and age. Unless you are being facetious in which case that's somewhat okay.

 

[fskimospy]

That is not what 'no true scotsman' is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

While I am certain that there are plenty of celebrities with a decent grasp of public policy I have no interest in going around researching the ideas and thoughts of them to find one that I think would be fine. I can tell you clearly from his own actions that Trump is not fine, however.

No I won't. Having a position and an argument supporting it is all I care about.
