I expect people who make a promise to keep them.

Still waiting for Cher to be launched to Jupiter.

The guy who got layed off at his manufacturing job or lost it to h1b visa abuse, barely paying off his mortgage or credit cards...and hard working americans dont give a hoot about elite hollywood people living in a fantasy, out of touch with reality. If her heart broke when she saw Trump make fun of that guy she has bigger issues. What about the torture victim in Chicago or all the people killed by illegal immigrants? Get a life

Meryl Streep is not going to change anyone's opinions any more than anyone on this board is. The people that already agree with her will talk about how wonderful she is, and the people that disagree with her will talk about how full of c4@p she is.
So what, there's a thing called the 1st Amendment that she's able to use, just like you & every other nobody in this forum. Get over it.

I think we would have to admit that for washed up celebrities, those not able to keep their names in the news, Trump has been a God save.

This has saved many from having to marry, divorce, adopt a child or become pregnant at 50 to get their names in the news!

Also, he wasn't even making fun of the handicapped guy. That is a lie that just won't die.


I'm amazed anyone still watches these overblown self-congratulatory things anymore. Its like beauty pageants, just something old, dated and a bit embarrassing.
