Yep, under your skin, the skin of all the insufferable cons & the skin of the ultimate orange man child. Congrats, you have no idea how to let things slide off your back. Bravo Meryl, for showing the world how juvenile cons are. Well done!

The poster didn't name you personally, so why the need to defend yourself?

She's gotten under people's skin because she was right. People are embarrassed by Trump's behavior. So they're here trying to justify to themselves why they haven't just made a huge mistake in electing this buffoon to the Presidency.

I guarantee her I will never again see a Streep movie. Not that it much matters. She's too old and haggard to appear in much of anything. Anything I have seen her in was unremarkable.
Oh my goodness.

The empty threats.

Too funny. I legit laughed at this.

I give Marco Rubio credit for having come far, but he is hardly a man of the people, as he is owned by Florida agricultural interests. In addition, if Marco does not have high net worth, it appears that was the result of poor money management as much as anything else.

I'd rather have a rich guy who knows how to handle his money in charge of the economy.

I'll let you all in on a secret -- I've been embarrassed by Trump's behavior too, more than once.
That doesn't prevent me from being objective about his assets and liabilities or from giving him a chance and supporting the nation's choice for President. If the fact that he is "not presidential" is the worst anyone can say, that is not a yuge deal, as long as he makes an honest effort to do what he said he will do. Judging from recent news reports on companies bringing/retaining American jobs, I see no reason to complain.

Edit: I didn't vote for Obama in 2012, but I was still offended by some caricatures of the President that I saw regularly appearing in the media, because he was still our President.

Now be honest, were you one of those people went to "cry ins" and petted puppies to get over the election? Are you boycotting companies that supported Trump? Did you "unfriend" people who voted for him? If not, you are doing a better job than most of the libs I know, who let Trump get under their skin and continue to demonstrate it here on CD every day.

Did you see where she said she & her fellow townies would, get ready for it, turn their backs on Streep? GASP! THE HORROR! Can you imagine? Streep would be crushed, utterly crushed by locals turning their backs on her. Lol, funniest thing I've seen today.
