Meryl Streep - Am I the only white male who...

Exactly. And they're contorting themselves to an extent that would make Gumby scream to claim he didn't. They deserve no more respect than Cheeto Mussolini does and for the same reasons.

 

Streep is a fine actress but Mark Wahlberg's reaction to celebrity whining about the election of Trump is on target:

His point appears to be that Celebrity whining consists of being prejudiced against Trump voters and that's unfair because these celebrities have no idea of the problems these voters have that they voted for Trump to solve.

 

You mean like the fact he does it all the time? You wish to believe what the hysterical liberal press tells you because it fits your own bias.

 

He mocks disabled people all the time?

Getting back to the point - do you disagree with the sentiments that Meryl Streep expressed:

"And this instinct to humiliate when it's modeled by someone in the public platform by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing."

"Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose."

 

After years of democrat politics of personal destruction which even has a name, getting Borked, you seem to be shocked, shocked I tell you, when it happens to democrats.

Meryl's diatribe is just another example in a long line of examples of left wing hypocrisy.

 

I don't listen to politics from people who aren't in politics. It's pointless. Celebrities especially- their only job is to entertain me.

 

No sheet!!! I find it irritating that celebrities think their opinion/ political bent means anything to anyone. Whoever told them that I might give a crap what they think was sadly mistaken.

 

lol exactly. It's like when all the liberals said they were leaving the US if Trump won (none did). I couldn't care less!

 

No, there are many "above-average-income" (rich) white progressive males who would agree with her.

 

Oh Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist Almighty.

Slight offence intended here: are you too thick to understand that the election was NOT for the popular vote? Clinton did not seek to win the popular vote. Clinton won nothing of any relevance.

If the election criteria had been different, the election campaign would have been different. They would have gone to different places. They wouldn't have focussed on the swing states. If Trump had sought the popular vote he would have campaigned entirely differently, but he didn't. He won the contest he was fighting. Any other contest is entirely illusory.

Of course, I'm talking to the wall.

 

Yeah, they will hold onto that as if it is relative. Hillary spent 1.2 billion dollars and lost and the left will still continue to complain about how money affects politics. They have become absurd in their hysteria.

 

I have no idea what your first sentence means.

I am still waiting to see which of her sentiments you disagree with, because it seems to me that those sentiments are actually pretty neutral and everyone - left / right, Republican / Democrat, conservative / liberal - would actually agree with those sentiments. Which ones do you disagree with?

 

Well, English is my first language so sorry.

 

Well then it should be easy for you to read her sentiments and tell us which of them you disagree with.

 

In other words, you wish to stay wittingly ignorant of a reply and insist on asking the same question over and over again while ignoring replies.

 

A majority of white women voted for Trump.

 

Does Meryl Streep support child rapists? Probably not, but she'll look the other way if they're one of her own.

Yep, she stood up and cheered for a guy who drugged a 13 year old girl and sodomized her.

Streep is really a class act, isn't she? I'm really glad progressives have thrown their weight behind her.

 

I share the pain.

Some may be genuinely confused: elections = voters = popular votes = ?????????

If anyone is actually confused, substitute "popular vote" with "pizza vote". Say Clinton also won the pizza vote. That is obviously a total irrelevance, as no one cares what pizzas think. But it's no less irrelevant than the "popular vote". The relevance of the popular vote, as with the pizza vote, is a total illusion unless you're campaigning for it.

Thing is, I think most of them get it at this point. It's just fake strawmanning.

 

Agreed. The prize is the electoral college. Something the Clinton's forgot. Seems that they overestimated their appeal.

 

They thought they could rely on identity politics. They thought they could throw white males under the bus and still win. They alienated white women in the process. More blacks/hispanics also voted for Trump compared to Romney. Clinton also failed to campaign hard in the Rustbelt. They were complacent. They believed their own narrative. They believed the media hype. They believed the non-stop attacks on Trump telling us Clinton would win. Talk about "fake news"...


Blaming everything on Russia is the same sort of behavior that caused Clinton to lose. This total inability to be honest. This complete lack of self reflection. This grandiose sense of entitlement. 90% of the media was 100% against Trump. Russia's RT News channel and some fake news online didn't even come close to the anti-Trump national media in the USA. It was a non-stop anti-Trump attack. The more our media attacked Trump the more popular he became. He also campaigned like a mad man in key states while Clinton was busy fainting in half empty rooms. She did draw large crowds in coastal cities.

It boiled down to jobs in the Rustbelt, mass immigration, Islamic terrorist attacks and BLM protests. The Rustbelt voters went for Obama twice and saw no returns, they were motivated by economic self interest. Others were motivated by immigration and terrorism. Moderate Democrats have been against mass immigration for decades. Clinton understood this nine years ago. Flip-flopping on immigration cost her dearly:

Terrorist attacks on US soil have been increasing. Same with Europe. You don't import scores of thousands of Islamic fundamentalists while this is taking place. It should be common sense.

BLM has hijacked race relations in America. The media helped create this false dilemma. It backfired. Clinton wasn't able to use that in order to gain all of Obama's votes. Her old views on black crime came back to bite her:

In the run-up to the 2012 election "Occupy Wall St" manifested in order to push people into voting for Democrats and it worked. BLM manifested before the 2016 election for the same reason. It failed. It backfired. It was too radical, too divisive. America (states between NY and CA) rejected this agenda. Clinton focused her message to liberals in coastal cities. It was the wrong campaign strategy. Obama appealed to everyone with generic platitudes. "Hope and change" for all, white people included. He didn't follow through with living wage jobs. Clinton's focus on women and minorities also alienated a large number of people. She did this to herself. Russia didn't force her into a losing campaign strategy. Russia didn't force Democrats to lose the legislative branch either.

If Democrats don't do some soul searching, if they don't stop this blame shifting they'll never recover. If they don't drop identity politics they'll keep losing.

 

Brilliant!

I don't like Trump, but he did not mock a reporters disability.

There is nothing brave about bashing republicans in a room full of democrats.

MMA is full of people from other countries. Maybe she should ask some of her body guards about that. They would know.

If you think she was brilliant, you are in no position to be calling others stupid.

As far as the popular vote issue, they knew the rules going into the election and rules didn't change in the middle of the game. You knew the rules as well, and I bet you didn't mention it until your side lost.

 

yeah cause quotes like "grab her (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" are normal for some on the right I guess

lol, Trumps words are blocked from this site it seems - lol

.

 

So you agree that she is a superior person to MMA fighters and NFL players - and share her contempt for people who pay to watch football and MMA rather than paying money into her pocket to see her?

Her little talk was a study in self-glorification and contempt down at regular people, her personal ego mania passive-aggressive outburst.

Yeah, she was a campaign person for Clinton. So what? Name anything she has ever done that wasn't singularly for herself?

 

Yes, she applauds a man who drugged and raped a 13-year-old, but rants about Trump having consentual sex with models and actresses. She's probably still angry that Trump didn't proposition her.
