In fact, after reading Trump's tweet that she's an "overrated" actress, it makes me proud to be a Democrat!
In the real world, Streep is not God, she is nothing more than an employee of the movie studios acting our roles in a film.....nothing real about her at all.

Separate the phoney-land of movies from the real world, quite the difference.

Default If Meryl Streep feels so bad about Trump "mocking" a reporter over handicap...

...why didn't she use her platform to say anything about the handicap person who was held hostage for two days and forced to drink toilet water by 4 blacks? Why can't she use it for that?

I also don't remember her using her "star power" to talk about this one:

Default do Meryl Streep and the people gushing over her speech know Republicans control the Presidency, House, Senate and Suprem

Supreme Court? And Democrats have the lowest amount of power since the 1920s?


will they remember their sad reality soon?

Maybe because the kids aren't going to be President of the United States in a little over a week. It still is a free country and she has the right to express herself just the way you do.

Wrong narrative. Would create much push back.

It's a miracle. . . she was instantly cured and had no trouble remember her damaging and anti-patriotic voice of 'no rhyme or reason'.

What did she accomplish? She validated the stupidity of those who can't accept their conniving candidate lost the election.

The discontented losers will continue their senseless rants about Trump because they are clones of their cronies.
What's the old fake news again?

What does her career choice have to do with what she said? What do you do? Whatever it is, quit posting. You're not god, why do you think anyone would care what you have to say?

Trump didn't mock a handicapped reporter, this has been debunked many times, but the Trump haters don't care, and continue to spew their lies.

Did I read right that she mocked Mixed Martial Arts in her speech, saying that it was not an art? As a practitioner of a Martial Art, I heartily disagree. Normally I would brush off a comment like that as being inconsequential, but she made the comment as part of a speech criticizing someone else for mocking someone. And then she mocked a whole group of people, including myself. WTH?
