What do you all think about that?
Dude, if you're going to cry about something, at least get the date correct. Pathetic.

Be a fan--I don't care--but please lay off the BS.

add the figures of voters who voted Hillary, voted 3rd party, it's something like 63 million.

Streep words were powerful. our president elect tweets like a mad jr. high kid.

Never. Cons are scrabbling at anything because their man child idol was referred to by an actor. Now she's the poutrage du hour. Boo. Hoo.

Of course she is within her rights, just as the network is within its right to broadcast it.
I'm trying to get past that, and understand what it is about a celebrity whose life experience consists of standing in front of a camera that qualifies her views as worth more than anybody else's. The current trend by celebrities to pretend to insightful political analysis reminds me of an old tv commercial, in which some guy appeared in a white lab coat to sell some health product and said "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV." Apparently its enough for many people to act as if you know something.

Get the mods to delete this thread, and start a new thread about how outraged you are about what Streep said LAST NIGHT. When she never even mentioned Trump's name.


He made a mistake in titling a thread . As far as I know you cannot go back and edit titles . He corrected himself and admitted his error .

Why don't you try and respond to the Hollywood folks attacking Trump while applauding admitted child rapists instead of trying to make a huge deal over an admitted mistake that changes nothing about the core issue?

For the record I am not a Trump fan and am on record here bashing him for his admitted assaults on women, but Im not out applauding others who have done the same and ignoring their past because they are the same political bent as me .

Let's hear your opinion on the actual issue raised here .

I'd rather listen to my mailman or the guy who fixes my car, who actually have more at stake.
But if you voted for Trump, you voted for a celebrity. Plenty of people gave a **** about what he thought of politics.

It's incredibly hypocritical. The Kardashians have a huge branding empire too, yet if I suggested you elect Kim POTUS you'd think I lost my mind. (As well you should.)

Telling people what they want to hear doesn't equate to being a decent President. Remains to be seen, I guess.

I am not calling anyone names.I ask becuase people have opinions as all of us do and they can be different it's what makes the world go around but when you put your opinion out as fact without proof then you are the one who is wrong.
