Hey meryl streep, you are a play-actor, nothing more

Trump may turn out to be the worst President of all time, but please remember Bill Clinton RAPED Juanita Broderick and Hillary tried to intimidate her into silence, Obama signed into law the Indefinite Detention Act and President Cheney sent us looking for weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist.

Oh, by the way, that horrible sexist Trump had a woman run his Presidential campaign and had a woman in charge of building Trump Tower

And if you listen to the tape of Trump and his famous “grab them by the pussy” quote he says “they let you” meaning it is consensual as in “groupies”.

Ms. Streep, please stick to your PLAY-acting and let the grownups try to do their job.

In other words, WAAAAH! She said mean things about my hero!

What words of Streep do you object to? Please be specific.

She may be a “play actor” (whatever the fuck that means), but at least she’s not a liar.

Everyone in the world knows he was mocking the guy’s physical handicap. Trump supporters supposedly like the guy because he “tells it like it is.” But he doesn’t! He hides behind bullshit excuses that even Stevie Wonder can see through.

For once, I’d like Trump to stop taking his various beefs with celebrities to Twitter. Even if I were inclined to agree with you that people like Meryl Streep need to STFU (and I don’t), it says a lot about Trump’s character that he can never resist taking the bait.

He’s supposed to be the troll-in-chief, right? So why does he let other people troll him so easily? Sad!

And the dozen or so women who came forward accusing him of sexual assault after he made those comments? Were they all “groupies”?

There’s a difference between “I was assaulted, but I’m not going to say anything because if I do he will destroy my life” and “I was groped by my idol and I am totally into it”. Affirmative consent is a thing for a reason.

Streep’s speech took her down a step in my estimation. It’s supposed to be a thank-you/acceptance speech, not a sermon on the modern political scene.

One may argue that it’s her speech, a free country, and she can say what she wants. True. I can likewise pick my nose and flick boogers on the sidewalk in public, but that doesn’t mean it’s classy.

Says who?

For people who go around calling other folks “snowflakes”, these trumplodytes are amazingly thin-skinned.

Did someone hurt Trump’s feelings again? That guy is so *sensitive. *I hope he did the Presidential thing, and let her have it on Twitter. Dumbass.

She accused him of mocking the reporter who has a disability, but he uses the same gestures to mock anyone who is caught off guard.

Watch the video I linked to.

On the one hand, actors using award ceremonies as pulpits from which to voice political rants do annoy me. We’re not pointing the camera at you because we care how you vote; just say your thank-yous and fuck off. Even if I agree with your point, these speeches make me cringe.

OTOH the OP is so stupid I just want to respond: Hey koufax - Meryl Streep is one of the most highly respected actors of her generation, one whose name has become virtually synonymous with excellence in her chosen profession of “play-acting” which, I think, qualifies her to be considered a “grown-up”. She has earned her reputation (and a huge amount of money) through sheer hard work and talent. You, conversely, are a nobody whining pathetically on an internet messageboard. I’m sure Ms. Streep will be bothered not a jot by your (or indeed my) views about her speech.

Can we get their names and information about the incidents that took place?

Juanita Broderick (and others) have told their stories many times

Did you watch the video I linked to?

Last I checked she is an American citizen, so you are also wrong on that “nothing more”

And seeing that Trump had to reach for the stupid to **lie **about what he did (yes, he really did mock the disabled reporter) I see what Streep made Trump remind us about how radically incompetent he is as a leader.

The video you linked to tries to make that case, but fails miserably. The gestures are quite different.

Not that I particularly care about Trump possibly making fun of a disabled person, compared to the other things he’s said and done. Is that the only thing that Streep said that you object to?

No, she was entirely correct to point out that Trump is a scumbag. I hope to see many more such public condemnations of Republicans’ behaviour in future.

By the way, what do you do for a living that anyone should care what you think about anything?

Stop. Trump mocked a disabled person, which is entirely within all expectations of his character as a human being based upon his words and actions over the previous four decades.

Huh, I opened this thread to be a pitting of Trumps childish reflexive ad hominem tweet against Streep. Instead its a Trump bootlick similarly attacking Streeps acting ability because of what she said about the naked emperor.

Someone needs to tell Trump that he isn’t in high school anymore.

But not always the same story.

For example, the only official legal statement Broaddrick made on the subject was to deny Clinton had made any sexual advances. And then she recanted that once Ken Starr gave her immunity from prosecution for perjury, but since she insisted that she hadn’t been coerced into giving her affidavit statement the whole thing got sidelined.

I had to stop at 2:57. My brain cells can only take so much bullshit.
