Meryl Streep speech at Golden Globes

[momeNt]

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.

It's like an inverse no true scotsman if you are willing to be a little liberal with your interpretation.

 

[momeNt]

I choose Bono!

I said AND explanation!!!

 

[LegendKiller]

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.

Ohh please, the down the nose stare from a faux intellectual, falsely continuing lies, clearly shows how little she thinks of the common man.

What is a "common man"?

 

[Homerboy]

I said AND explanation!!!

Umm... because yellow sunglasses and he sings about the common man?

 

[LegendKiller]

What is a "common man"?

Anybody but the "enlightened" bi coastal elites who sneer at working class proles.

How dare those flyover states no listen to overpaid pampered actors like Martin sheen. He played the president!

But hey, his success rate as a parent has led to a shitty acting career in one kid and a coked out hiv moron in another. We should listen to him!

 

[LegendKiller]

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

Only because idiots like streep perpetuating a lie. But she is enlightened.

 

[momeNt]

Umm... because yellow sunglasses and he sings about the common man?

Fair enough. I cannot begrudge someone a reason for why they are voting as it's our right as Americans.

 

[Homerboy]

Only because idiots like streep perpetuating a lie. But she is enlightened.

They lie where she advocated for the protection of the the free press?

 

[FerrelGeek]

LMAO, how fucking spineless.

Not at all! My views on this topic are apolitical. Those views have NOTHING to do with the election. If you actually had any reading comprehension skills, that should've been obvious. I know that is an unacceptable answer to those that tend to over-politicize. Deal with it, snowflakes.

 

[LegendKiller]

They lie where she advocated for the protection of the the free press?

And where was she when obama lied to the press repeatedly about the Iran deal, persecuted whistleblowers...etc.

What it comes down to is that there is no free press. You have a bunch of self fellating dc beltway snobs congratulating themselves on their supposed intellectualism. They didn't hold Obama's feet to the fire at all. And he played them.

 

[brycejones]

Only because idiots like streep perpetuating a lie. But she is enlightened.

Poor, LK I do believe he has a bad case of the triggers.

 

[LegendKiller]

Poor, LK I do believe he has a bad case of the triggers.

If facts are triggering, sure. He used that same motion several times before and after not addressing disabled people.

But let's not let the truth get in the way of a good trump hating party.

 

[fskimospy]

Ohh please, the down the nose stare from a faux intellectual, falsely continuing lies, clearly shows how little she thinks of the common man.

Speaking of lies, you lied about what she said and should apologize.

Lol, that's a pathetic attempt even for you. Remember the rest of us aren't the incredibly easy mark that you are.

 

[Homerboy]

Or here?

This is not seriously meant to imply Hillary is mocking his handicap is it?

 

[momeNt]

In fairness he did apologize.

 

[brycejones]

Well then just for the sake of argument a grown man running for president waving his arms like a fool to denigrate people he disagrees with makes it all better.

Glad we cleared that up.

BTW That kind of motion if I recall from my grade school years is also used to indicate that someone does have issues. So he may not be making fun of the guy for being disabled but it isn't a motion you use to describe people who think are normal.

Face it no matter how you cut it, Trump was a being an absolute douchebag.

The next 4 years are going to suck for you if you get triggered every time someone points out Trump's failings and poor behavior. Which appears to be at least twice a week since the election so far.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

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

yea, nope. not falling into that trap.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Or here?

Holy shit did you actually post this in a serious attempt at making some kind of point???

 

[Homerboy]

Oh gawd. Here's Streep mocking disabled people. I saw it on Twitter!!

[momeNt]

yea, nope. not falling into that trap.

So you and others will call him "celebrity" president or "reality tv" president, say it's not used as some way of belittling the fact that he became president. When asked to sort of prove that it's not because he is a celebrity, and in defense of that proof, offer up a celebrity who you may believe has the required competency to be president. You elect not to.

That's sort of why I was relating it to a no true scotsman. You say it exists, but fail to name one.
