    He ran on an anti politically correct platform which is actually a bully pulpit. His supporters say liberals lost the election because they called people bigots and racists. Then in turn these same people mock the liberals with their own brand of rude behaviour. And it was nice to hear Meryl acknowledge this in her speech.

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

    The whole world has lost.

    If he does that then Hollywood will unleash on him and maybe that'll push Tom Arnold or anyone else to release those tapes.

    Donald Trump is a disgrace to the United States of America. A corrupt, morally bankrupt, greedly little man.

    You may be enamored with people who pretend to be other people for a living, but I'm not. No one cares.....let her move to Canada. I'd vote for that. But you notice that none of them want to...I wonder why.

    Trump is doing his best to follow the faith of JFK at least .... he is kicking in nearly all asses around him and there are for sure some of them not reacting peaceful in the end. But maybe the Russian FSB will safe his ass and prevent a 2nd Dallas result for him.

    You are aware calling people who don't support you deplorable is disrespectful, right?

    More like Squawks.Like the Hollywood parrot she has become.
    The actress who has the most Academy Award nominations in
    Filmdom { 19 times with 3 Oscars }. She is a fine actress but that only
    means she is a key target of brainwashing from the Hollywood Film
    community.She may in fact BE the Devil in - The Devil Wears Prada -.
    Because like her co-star in - The Deer Hunter - { 1978 } Robert DeNiro,
    they are kooky in love with the Democrat Party and all it's trappings.
    Looking back at " Deer Hunter " it's fairly simple to connect the dots.
    All the characters in that Movie are about The Farthest thing imaginable
    from being even remotely tied down as some Liberal.Let alone a Liberal
    Trendy.Yet that is Mission One in Hollywood.They are Proud,Cocky
    kooks.Because the Fix is in.Hollywood is run like a Political Party.

    For this once polite and fine actress to make a show of open disdain
    and contempt towards our President-elect is a bellwether sign.
    It means Hollywood is Hopeless.Michelle Obama got that part right.
    Now Miss Streep is demanding that Journalist Unite and get the
    backing of some Committee to Protect Journalist.
    She got it ass backwards.This Country and We the People need to
    adopt measures and shields to Protect US from Them { Hollywood elites }.
    That is partly the reason Trump won.The people {Masses} are sick and tired of
    Elites like Barbara Streisand and Martin Sheen putting Democrats on some
    pedestal.Because it's turned into One Huge Clique of weak-kneed
    often selfishly-endowed Anti-Patriots.There are no more Good Patriotic
    war movies.Or Good Patriotic Actors to act in them.
    The days of those like Jimmy Stewart { a staunch Republican } who
    was an everyman and never took a single acting lesson,are over.
    The lesson book currently, is kind of like a kiddie coloring book.
    Play along with Hollywood elites { who shill for Democrats } or
    find work elsewhere.
    Thankfully there are those few Older actors like Clint Eastwood and
    Especially Jon Voight who speak Truth to power with honesty and
    integrity.
    For Miss Streep to squawk out ... " because we're going to need *them
    going forward -- and they'll need us to safeguard the truth. "
    There ya have it folks.More FORWARD bidness.
    I think she meant to Lean Forward and tilt the Machine known as
    Politics.Like a rowdy kid jerking on a pinball machine.


    * Journalist.She claims that her precious Hollywood is The most
    " vilified " segment of American society.
    I was under the impression that is what Hollywood's First order of
    business is.To Villify any and all who don't tow the Liberal script.
    I think she gets a Big Fat " F " in ethics and understanding the word " Truth ".

    Which legal immigrants are being kicked out? She must get her news from the MSM or Huffpo?

    Her entire speech was steeped in misinformation. Foreigners? Liberals simply don't get it. NOBODY has a problem with foreigners or people born in other countries. Guess they forgot, AS USUAL, who started questioning Obama's birthplace? HILLARY!!!!! And they voted for her. WHY can't Liberals get it through their skulls that ILLEGAL and immigrant are completely different? You truly have to be unintelligent not to be able to distinguish the two. Who exactly has a problem with people who are different, yet law abiding? Having a problem with TERRORISTS has nothing to do with someone born here. Having a problem with a culture that regularly murders gay people and women is not being empathetic enough? REALLY? Go ask Germany and France how well their cultural experiment is working? But why should Hollywood care, when these immigrants(refugees) can't afford to live within 50 miles of their walled up, gated, secure compounds they live in? As if they would be settled anywhere close to where Liberals actually live. Fracking hypocrites!!

    WHO THE (*)(*)(*)(*) INSINUATED ANYONE IS KICKING ANYONE LEGAL OUT? Screw you Merryl and screw you Hollywood for not having a CLUE what's actually going on. What naive, ignorant fools they all are.

    I wonder who or what put her up to it.Or did it come naturally.
    I don't think her sidekick character { Michael,played by DeNiro } in
    - The Deer Hunter - had to play a round of Russian roulette with her.
    Butts ... Maybe.
    Because somehow,DeNiro lost any common { as in sense } when he
    went and attacked Trump as if a scene from - Goodfellas -.
    What did DeNiro say ... called Trump a " Pig,dog,and a punk ".

    Because he has the emotional maturity of a teenage boy:

    'Meryl Streep is one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood'

    Just saw that too. He just can't help himself.

    And his fans, as evidenced in this thread, have the same emotional instability, lashing out at anyone who dares to not fawn over their hero, just as:

    -The intelligence community
    -Hollywood
    -The students stiffed by Trump in his University scam
    -The contractors stiffed by Trump in his many real estate projects
    -The creditors stiffed by Trump in his bankruptcies
    -Talk show hosts
    -His primary opponents

    I wonder how long it will take until he has alienated all of America with his tweets, caused by his thin skin and emotional immaturity.

    I'm at least glad you liberals now understand what Obama was to people outside of his fanclub.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Rich liberal elites giving themselves awards and preaching to their own choir. What a joke.

    The subject of Ms. Streeps "address" aside, what's so striking, at least IMO, is the way Hollywood events / personalities have increasingly become politicized. Viewers used to watch to glimpse the designer fashions, and hot new Hollywood couples. Now it looks like there's a growing segment of voters who actually watch just to be sure their personal political views are in concert with those views espoused by Hollywoods most beloved .Is it info-tainment, or just propaganda, and should " equal time" apply?

    Ever notice how progressives spend a lot of time complaining about CEO salaries and bonuses, yet give Hollywood actresses and actors a pass on how much they make? The average CEO of a Fortune 500 company makes several million a year, yet Meryl Streep probably makes 10-20 million per movie.

    While the lowest paid person makes nothing since they are an intern and not unionized yet. Talk about a disproportionate income equality.
