Remember Trumps Twitter obsession with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart? A senior citizen obsessed with teenaged actors love life's, nothing weird about that, right?

Absolutely true!

Paraphrasing an old proverb: "It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than open one's mouth and prove it."

The vast majority of actors don't understand this proverb.

Neither does trump. Perhaps he should take that proverb to heart.

Who gave William Chauncey a time travel machine?

They are certainly entitled to their personal opinions. But those opinions (unless about their own field of work) are no more valid and should hold no more authority than the opinions of anyone else.
I hate seeing acting labeled as 'art' but I understand the rationale for why some do it. Acting is simply nothing more than lying and deceiving to advance an agenda. I am realizing that the only pure forms of artistic expression are sculpting, painting and music. Everything else is agenda driven. I think it is time to forbid theatrical endeavors, perhaps the Muslims will be the only one with the cajones to actually implement such a standard.

He did have a wonderful plan for health care: get the government out of it.

Problem is, the ruling class on either side of the isle is not willing to release their grasp on 1/6th of the economy. It has too much potential as a gold mine of revenue and social control. More proof that we have two shades of evil running this nation.

Give me a break. All expressions of art, regardless of its medium, has always had political underscoring. This is nothing new.
