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

Actually her real point was that when people in position of authority or power act badly, it gives a license to others to act badly.

 

You are upset because she expressed the sentiment of many that publicly mocking a disabled person is nor acceptable behaviour, especially for one in Trump's position. You need to defend whatever your messiah does, apparently, but if you worked with similarly afflicted children as I have done, and seen the hurt that such ridicule inflicts, you might not be so eager to find excuses for him. They see him performing as well. He demeans American decency when he indulges himself in such cruelty.

 

Yep, repeating left wing lies is how the left wing rolls.

 

A reporter fails to back up Trump's lie about thousands cheering the collapse of the WTC towers, so the performer needs to attack his disability, and his devout followers need to try to defend such squalid conduct instead of simply admitting it was wrong.

Sad, very sad.

 

What false story of Trump making fun of a disabled reporter. Do you really think the video is meant by Trump as a tribute? Everyone on the forum has probably seen the video and it is genuinely disgusting..

 

Despite all his material success and string of trophy wives, he seems sad. Needing to lash out at a disabled person does not bespeak happiness.

 

Of course ignoring the video evidence that this is a common gesture by Trump. Liberal fake news at its finest.

 

You're trying to talk sense to people who mock blacks, hispanics, gays and anyone else not fitting the right-wing stereotype. That they see nothing wrong in Trump mocking the disabled is no surprise.

Yeah? Show us where else he has used this 'common gesture'.

What his actions speak of are classic sociopathy. Check this and see if the name 'Trump' comes to mind:http://www.healthguidance.org/entry/15850/1/Characteristics-of-a-Sociopath.html

 

Ted Kennedy of the Kennedy Klan ?

What were those lies...Chappaquiddick ? -> http://archive.boston.com/news/specials/kennedy/day3_gallery_accident/#/2

Or was it Ted Kennedy's lies on...

 

Politicians lie and are corrupt? I'm shocked!

 

Regardless of his afflictions, I am mystified by those who desperately try to defend his vindictively mocking the disabled. Would they actually choose their messiah as a role model for their children and encourage them to follow that example? If they had a child similarly afflicted, would they want her ridiculed by him in that manner?

This whole thread is sad. A bunch of people pretending Streep isn't a good actress while also pretending they hate everything about Hollywood. I guarantee if half the country actually hated Hollywood, tv and movies would not be as popular as they are. Quit pretending you don't watch entertainment.

Also, if celebs weren't good for politicians, why did Trump need Chachi at his convention?

Face it - y'all are just butthurt that Trump can't get anyone good to perform at the inauguration.

 

I thought her sentiments about mocking the handicapped were spot on. I just wish someone had been out there demanding for journalistic integrity 10 years ago.

 

Worse, they keep on claiming that all of America supports them when it rather clearly does not. Trump is, in fact, the most opposed President in US History who still got to BE President, yet he continues to taunt the "losers" who he has "beaten so badly" while proceeding merrily to break the only real promises he made, that is to leave Social Security and Medicare alone. The whole GOP seems caught up in the euphoria of a nonexistent "landslide" giving them an unreal Carte Blanche to do what Republicans have wanted to for years; push grandma's wheelchair down the stairs and right out to join gramps under the nearest bridge where they can together patriotically watch the flocks of buzzards in the sky gathered to consume the corpses of the sick and poor outside the locked hospital doors.

Republicans in Congress should wake up to the fact that two years will go past like a spring breeze and then they will find out what you reap when you sow the wind

 

Yeah, let's normalise Trump's common gestures of simpering meanness.

MAGA, no question.

 

Good point, and for good measure let's boycott all other traitorous institutions and traitors too!
For example I already refuse to watch any film or TV show which has got somebody in it whose political views I don't like..

 

About the lamest excuse for a 'debunking' I've yet seen. This wouldn't make any difference even if Trump HADN'T done exactly that sort of thing to many others already. That's the real problem with him to me. You can forgive inexperience, you can even forgive stupidity and meanness, but Trump's a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing LOUT, he's low-class, crass. boorish, ignorant and, worst of all, PROUD of it.

 

Yeah, doesn't matter what evidence is produced, nothing will get in the way of irrational hate.

 

Or rational. And I don't hate him, I pity the fool, after 2018 he'll be among the least powerful Presidents in our history.

You got to understand that the average establishment worshiping drone is just as deceitful and corrupt in their daily lives as the establishment politicians they worship. The more into the establishment they get, the more militant they become. I have no doubt that there was a ton of illegal votes here in California. There were Bernie signs and supporters everywhere, and somehow he got whooped. Same illegal voters voted in the general and the bulk of the votes come from establishment dominated districts. If a drone feels that an action will benefit the greater good, they will justify that action no matter what it is.

 

I do not watch movies that Streep is in. Sappy and crappy movies. Plus, where is your outrage for the working class stiffs on these movies who are paid peanuts in comparison to Streep?

Oh, that's right. She shares your same liberal ideology.

Real impressive you share the ideology that includes Streep's idolatry of child rapists, like Polanski.

 

I think you should pity deluded fool who was trying to create a cult of personality in Chicago. I've never seen a politician so deluded. Your favourite son completely lost the touch with reality. I don't think even he believes in his own lies any longer.

 

She idolises him? Where did she say so? Did you by any chance vote for a sleaze who admitted to groping women?

 

Trump is now part of the establishment and political elite which he hates so much-so much, in fact, that the 'rigged' system which got him elected isn't rigged any longer. It can't be, because I don't hear him endlessly whining about it any more. Why is that?
