Meryl Streep's Courageous Speech vs. Donald Trump's Craven Bullying Attack

Meryl Streep’s Courageous Speech vs. Donald Trump’s Craven Bullying Attack

Trump lashes out again

PoliticsJanuary 2017 • Views: 54,736

At last night’s Golden Globe Awards, Meryl Streep was honored with a lifetime achievement award for her many years of great acting, and used part of her acceptance speech to direct some very pointed comments at Donald Trump.

“There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good, there was nothing good about it, but it was effective and it did its job.

“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back.”

She was referring to Trump’s appalling mockery of disabled New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has a condition that effects the movement of muscles in his arms.

YouTube

And like clockwork, Trump got on Twitter early this morning (I predicted 3 am; he tweeted at 3:29) and responded to Streep’s denunciation of his bullying, crude comments with another bullying, crude comment, and lied outright once again that he wasn’t mocking Kovaleski.

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a…..

Anyone who watches the video of Trump doing his imitation of Kovaleski can clearly see for themselves that he’s lying — but that never stops Trump, because our president-elect is an insecure, thin-skinned, pathologically dishonest egomaniac who holds the rest of humanity in contempt.

Some “overrated” actor doesn’t even mention his name and he flips out. Imagine when he’s called out by name by other world leaders… If shit weren’t so perilous these days, I’d be laughing at this asshole.

Or he doesn’t see it as mocking. Either way he’s fucking not well in the head. Wish I could be shocked that the right is whining about Streep’s speech but these are the same assholes that whined about the Dixie Chicks but said nothing when Nugent told Clinton and Obama to suck his gun.

YORK, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania woman drove into a river to avoid arrest, then ignored officers and continued drinking beer as she floated in the vehicle.

The York Daily Record reports police approached the woman near a boat launch Monday to arrest her for fleeing from them earlier. She was wanted for running a stop sign.

They say she hit the gas and barreled into the Susquehanna River.

They say officers tried to communicate with her, but she just ignored them and drank her beer.

I think that’s honestly why she acts the way she does. I doubt she has any actual loved ones. Sure, alot of right wingers love her hateful bullshit but I doubt she has too many people she can go to when times are tough. She’s a hateful person and has been for as long as I remember. I just hope she doesn’t last as long as her spiritual mother, Phyillis did in the public spotlight and the media eventually tires of her hateful bullshit and basically makes her go away into obscurity and misery.

Yeah, my compassion for Trumpers is entirely at its end. I’m saving my empathy for the innocents who will be victimized by Trump. The only help I’m willing to give actual Trump voters is a push off the side of the boat into the North Atlantic.

I’ve given up even trying to be nice to them. I really have. I won’t go out of my way to be a dick but if you whine to me about Streep, I am going to give you shit about how wingnuts said nothing when Nuge the tiny dicked asshole told Obama to suck his gun.

My youngest son’s favorite was Green Eggs and Ham. We read it so often that when he was three he one day “read” it to me. He was about 90% accurate.

Before I could read, I did that with Curious George and my younger brother. I remember I could read the author’s initials (H.A.) but not his last name (Rey).

If no Kentucky abortion clinic does late term abortions, they may not bother filing to stop the 20 week abortion ban, but I don’t know.

We only have two abortion clinics in Kentucky. Far as I know, all 20+ week abortions are done in hospitals.

My brother’s was the Giving Tree. I can’t remember if he and his wife have a copy for their daughter yet or not. It’s interesting to think about him loving that book since the book really does fit alot with the man he’s become. I consider myself a supporter of the environmentalist cause but my brother I feel actually lives it and has an understanding of our environment in a way I don’t.

re: #54 HappyWarrior

I can’t believe she has any fans at all. As I said, I’d hate if she represented my ideology.

My 100% serious belief about current US politics is that stated ideology is a red herring.

Ideology means binding to positions and establishing structure to make them efficient, while considering the larger moral and practical implications that connect to a position like dominoes.

If your position is “it can’t fail” until it fails, and then “no time to analyze, we were stabbed in the back, when it does fail”;

When your position is “x is unforgiveable, no exception” but there is an inconsistent application of “well, x is forgive-able because of mitigating factor Y”;

When your standards of moral conduct and efficacy distort because of alliances;

ideology isn’t really meaningful.

Everybody, individually and in groups, can have specific instances of incoherence and even hypocrisy…that’s human nature and fuckery…which is not to minimize that they can cause massive damage and harm. But individual instances of hypocrisy and fuckery occur within a healthier system that can eventually catch or call out the issue.

But it’s a different thing when an organization specifically creates operating parameters in which the above are the norm. So when incoherence happens, they simply claims there’s nothing wrong, nothing inconsistent…or that glaring inconsistency can only happen because of a outside malevolence. It’s a mindset in which oversight and reality testing are betrayals, but failures require retaliation. Can’t fail, can only be failed always ends up using the same rhetorical excesses, and excusing the same ugliness.

Couple this the other dangerous premise—that groups X through Y are lesser or of suspect loyalty—and you get a pattern that explains much of modern history’s state violence.

Society Could Collapse In A Decade, Predicts Math Historian

The end of the world as we know it could be near ― possibly just years from now, according to a scientist who uses historical and mathematical modeling to predict events.

Peter Turchin, a professor at the University of Connecticut’s department of ecology and evolutionary biology, warns in a phys.org article published this week that society could risk implosion within the decade because of increasing social unrest.

And, no, a collapse wouldn’t necessarily be President-elect Donald Trump’s fault ― though Turchin writes that he sees the businessman’s election win as confirmation that “negative trends seem to be accelerating.” Trump’s campaign marked an “unprecedented collapse of social norms governing civilized discourse,” Turchin adds.

“We should expect many years of political turmoil, peaking in the 2020s,” the cultural evolution researcher writes.

The Great 2017 Meryl Streep Sniveling.

She was, as always, all grace and class. Her voice was quiet and thoughtful and she simply spoke of human decency and empathy. She used specific examples of where different actors in the audience happened to be from and the roles they’d played to illustrate that empathy is a necessary characteristic of playing a character.

Then she pivoted to cruelty and used a specific incident to illustrate it where someone else was trying to “act.” She spoke of how opening the door to hate and cruelty and lack of empathy at high levels encourages it in others.

She was not angry, she was sad. Vulnerable. And she used the word, “empathy” repeatedly.

It was very moving to watch. But of course it was, she’s one of the greatest actresses living.

Good on you, Meryl.

Or “Why isn’t she donating millions to charity. I am so sick of this “entertainers should shut up.” Y’all just supported and voted for a reality star to be your President and before that you worshipped a guy whose nickname was from a character he played in a movie.

I always loved that about conservatives. They whine so much about celebrities and politics. Uh who decided to make Ronald Reagan into a political figure? Gregory Peck was asked to run for governor and Peck, one of my favorite old time actors pretty much said he had no place in politics. Too bad Reagan didn’t have that same humility and sense of self awareness.

The money paragraph…

Charles “Chuck” Johnson, a controversial blogger and conservative online personality, has been pushing for various political appointees to serve under Donald Trump, according to multiple sources close to the President-elect’s transition team. While Johnson does not have a formal position, FORBES has learned that he is working behind the scenes with members of the transition team’s executive committee, including billionaire Trump donor Peter Thiel, to recommend, vet and give something of a seal of approval to potential nominees from the so-called “alt-right.”

Complete scum…working with Theil.

Looks like our host, Charles, was right…you need to keep on the little red-headed troll because he could do damage.

There is a solution for this. If each Trump cabinet appointee does not have all the paperwork, completed FBI background check, or does not release tax info then a D senator should place a hold on that nominee. Republicans did this all the time. Democrats need to play hardball.

More common are the mysterious Senate holds. This process, not spelled out in the Senate rules, allows any senator, for no given reason, to anonymously put on hold a nomination by simply asking his or her party leader for the delay

I don’t even regonize our country when I read some of the shit people say online to be honest with you. People who think that empathy is weakness. People who think you shouldn’t be critical of the President yet were the same people who attack the current President non-stop over the most trivial matters.

“We should expect many years of political turmoil, peaking in the 2020s,”

As much as this election has eaten at me, ruined my appetite and driven up my blood pressure, I think his title is a bit melodramatic. This sentence is more spot on. I think we’re witnessing social upheaval because the right knows that if they don’t clamp down on things now, they’re control over the country is about to be over. That’s why they’re trying to burn it all down: “If I can’t have it, no one can.” And I think they’re being really aggressive now because they know Trump won on a whim, with everything happening right for him at just the right moment. You don’t win reelection on that.

We have our work cut out for us, and I’m still trying to figure out what I can do in a county that is 24% Democrat. Turning out the vote in 2018 is one. But there are a lot of us out there, and we can ultimately prevail. I think we’re more sitting 1968 rather than 1860, which was a massive social upheaval.

Is it getting any more clear where both of Mr. and Ms. Sanders stand???

God damn. It appears they have gone to the top of the circle of derp. Is it wrong to say they would sell-out to Trump to get what they want?

I may have not been wrong when I made this image as a joke. Which at the time didn’t seem to go over too well. Well, fuck that.

Something else Trump will be taking credit for:

cnbc.com

Apple has requested to make finished products in its facility in Mesa, Arizona, according to the document, first reported by Business Insider. Right now, it has permissions to make consumer electronics components there, the filing said.

Mesa first announced the Apple manufacturing facility in 2013, when there were expected to be 2,000 jobs created there. In 2015, Apple said it would invest $2 billion to expand “a command center for the company’s global networks.” The company currently has job postings for “data center site services technicians” in Mesa.

This is true. Sure, that record is attacking civil rights, but it is second to none. https://t.co/BpxV2g29BI

Three guys who have been digging below sidewalk level have come in to ask to use the restroom. Nice to have it tested by the professionals. Now they’re scraping dirt back into the hole. Then the jerk from next door asks them if they’ve check a certain one of his commodes, and they say ‘no’. Uh oh.

She can do whatever she wants. Too bad she’s so self absorbed to fight against the oppression perpetrated by her conservative cohorts against poorer, weaker trans community. Fuck your new tv show Caitlyn.

I still think Trump is going to have a very public, very nasty breakdown at some point. He can’t take criticism of any type, and he’s about to take a job where 85% of the comments about you are criticism of some sort.

In celebrity news, I was playing poker this weekend and ended up playing with James Woods for a little while. I always figured he’d be a bit creepy, if not an ass, but he was a pretty nice guy. Of course, there’s typically a very strong “no politics at the poker table” rule that most players follow, so there’s that.

Of course, and announced after he set up a new China project. Now he can let go of his direct ownership, lol, and decide how that deal pays out. I’m getting tired of being played by this ‘common man’ family…

(Considering all the other aviation related pop-culture I was steeped in during the 50s, I probably should have known about this TV series but actually didn’t.)

Didn’t know they’d done a TV show of Steve, but I’ve driven past his statue many a time. No cigarettes in this depiction, or they’d have to sic Smokey on him. (Yes, there is a canyon nearby named ‘Steve’)
