    I can dig it. I'm a Bernie fan myself, and the same sort of things could perhaps have been said about him. I like to think he'd have been enough of a 'bully' to resist the ideologues ... at least the SJW globalist elites.

    I can also dig the family horror. I have some relatives who exclaimed "OH NO!" when I mentioned that I'm interested in listening to both sides. I didn't say "I love Trump" mind, just mentioned employing critical faculties for a better grasp on the big picture. It freaked them right out. It was as though I'd said "I'm going to start eating small babies and kittens". I regard these good and loved folk, now, as 'religious' fundamentalists. They've bought the dogma, and shut down brains.

    What's funny is that in Canada, they're very big on preferred pronouns .. even to the point of enforcing use of same via law. So all those Justinian SJWs should ethically, as well as legally, honour Donny's preferred pronoun .. "Prez".

    Dear AJ. What a true believer he was, bless him. Not a stray critical thought ever appeared to cross his bonce. A teflon coated ideologue.

    I beg to differ with you, there are no reporters/journalists in the MSM, only stenographers ...if you haven't noticed. Dare they write anything contrary to the editors wishes... I don't think so... unless of course they want to change their profession. They are all owned by six corporations, and more than likely they are owned by the same families. Streep knew she was saying what they wanted to hear and write...

    No, you are not the only hyper partisan left white male who liked what she had to say. There are plenty of you, no, you are not a unique snowflake.

    You guys are a riot.....

    You did get one thing right though..

    All the Trump supporters I know would have voted for

    Kermit the frog or Mickey Mouse over crooked hillary.

    You mention Fox not having any liberal commentators...

    Do you mean like lying brian williams or dan rather?

    Or do you prefer the kind that doctor 911 tapes
    and fakes blowing up trucks?:roflol:

    What, and give up show business? Even though an old Hollywood saying, in this instance it is not a joke. Despite the way that she has been put on a pedestal for decades as an actress, were she to do ANYTHING non P.C. then those same leftists would destroy her career.

    I'm very devout and fundamentalism no matter what faith always frustrated me ...But as one saint said, it is spiritual immaturity. I guess God has a school in heaven for them. :roflol:

    As for Trump, he did get the Evangelical vote and that's what put him in office. The alternative would have been war with Russia. ..and the neo cons are still pushing for it...believe it or not.

    You hoping Bernie would have resisted who? You saw what BLM did to him on stage, right?

    I think Bernie is probably the only person in the world who is weaker than even Obama.

    Of course those are what they prefer. They ARE leftists. Just yesterday the Washington Post was considering dropping the tag of 'Fake News' regarding the accusations it routinely makes against the Right since it just got caught faking news in regards to that laptop and the Russians. The term has now become toxic for the leftist Washington Post. So rather than reform the leftist news rag is simply going to change working definitions -- again.

    so much of the 21stC leftist mindset is about fashion. it's fashionable to be virtue signalling (mind you, only on trivial matters ... real problems are ignored) at every possible opportunity. anyone who fails to do so, much less does the opposite, is dropped as fast as last years hem length.

    the left desperately needs an infusion of old school socialists, like the Catholics and other socially conservative groups who used to be loyal supporters. it will balance out the dysfunctional hipsters.

    From what I am able to tell, in researching this group, it seems to have been founded as a propaganda body.

    Full time membership is accorded to about 90 people globally from 55 countries. Streep perhaps spoke as their spokes person but I think she simply shot off her face due to an election that she believes dumb people tossed to Trump.

    We have a lot of narcissists in hollywood.

    Those such as Meryl Streep think they are afforded status due to politics.

    But those such as her and George Clooney do not live with the normal world. They earn so much money, they do not perhaps remember the way ordinary people live.

    Anyway, she is not my political guru.

    It is easy to see that Democrats cling to the entertainment world to guide their thinking.

    In aside ... we know actors are people who didn't get enough attention as kids, or got the wrong kind of attention. It takes considerable dysfunction and a very fragile ego to want or need that kind of public approval .. it's way outside normal 'healthy' requirements. That's why anything most of them say or think should be ignored as the bleatings of misfits. It's nice that there's a job for them, though. Hollywood and TV land are the sheltered workshops for the emotionally disabled.

    They really do. It's quite terrifying. They never make heroes of scientists or farmers.

    I take it this is in some part fueled by Meryl Streep's speech at the Globes. Who is Meryl Streep to me that I should care what she says? Everybody has a political opinion but when you're giving it at the Globes it's not like you can challenge her on it. Personally I have to wonder how the nominee's felt with her using their night to shine to express her personal opinions via an award show; not the place for it IMHO.

    )Shrug) A wise leadership would take this opportunity represented by a devastated Party to analyze what is wrong and to rebuild along sane lines. But I sort of doubt that it's going to happen since people like George Soros, Barack Obama, and the Clintons ARE the Party's leadership.

    I've been impressed with what I've read of your posts so I'm surprised by this, can you articulate in 30 words, or less, on why you like Bernie?

    One only needs to read your screen name, "Media Truth". Have you not learned by now that term is an oxymoron? And I say that with full credit for that going to the MSM. Please find a safe space. :grin:

    Another butt hurt Hillary Clinton supporter and donor who will not get to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom.

    She is more than welcome to donate 50% of her net worth to those "causes" she feels are so "threatened" by a POTUS Adminstration that won the election.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) off Hollywood liberal elites. Just focus on making those crappy movies and engaging in selling your souls to achieve fame.

    So why are you here? I suggest 99% of forum members aren't 'in politics'. Streep is a US citizen and is as entitled to voice her opinion as a random guy in the street waving a placard-or you.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Your so-called 'Hollywood liberal elites' make huge amounts of money (approx. $40 billion annually), for America from those 'crappy movies' you never watch. Except that you probably do.

    So only white men are worthy of asking if they like what she said? Racist! Sexist!

    Except she didn't talk about Trump having consensual sex with models. That wasn't the gist of her speech at all. Her complaint was that he spread hate about foreigners and mocked the disabled.
