It's all part of the dumbing down of the American populace which has now spread across the globe. The laugh track was one of the WORST inventions in the evolution of "entertainment." People can now completely zone out and shove deadly garbage in their mouths while the screen dictates their thoughts and emotions.

True, the celebrity cult in America is idiotic.

 

However, the political and religious cults that have sprung up there are more than mindless, they have become extremely dangerous to everyone on the planet.

The farcical film, Idiocracy, was mentioned in a news story I was reading this morning. For some years I've also been of the opinion that it has become more of a documentary about the failed states of America.

For the smartest country on earth, it has vast swathes of the stupidest people to ever draw breath. Many of whom bleat their versions of idiocracy on this forum. I often wonder how many of them actually live here

I didn't watch it, I've heard her detestable cackle too many times. She was merely an affirmative action vp and it's her enormous hubris that will force her to run for potus in 2028. Certainly SOMEONE or SOMETHING better will knock her out of the contest.

None of Joe Biden's open-border, men-in-girls-bathrooms, or student-loan green policies will have and negative impact on De Niro. 

 

It's the poor and middle class that suffer for them.

De Niro is not only a movie star, he is a very sensible, level-headed human being.

 

Can you say that about Trump?

 

I think I know who needs their head examined.

Champagne Socialist with zero education, his opinions aren't worth a bucket of spit. Fascinates me the way halfwits drool over his every word.

 

And I seem to recall Donald Trump was not even a Republican, until it suited his political ambitions.

 

Are Trump and Biden the best you lot can come up with as an alleged superpower, you are supposed to be the leaders of the free world? 

 

Absolutely ridiculous. Trump is now in court daily and his team are lying like hell to get him out of the shi ite again.

 

He's a proven liar, narcissist, misogynist and imagine a Vietnam draft dodger being called a Commander in Chief,................................ what a joke!

 

He then has the effrontery to poke fun at Senator John Mc Cain, a real war hero.

And he quickly changed his tune when threatened with losing his status and money.

There is absolutely no risk of that. He is one of the greatest actors of our lifetime, and his fortune exceeds a quarter of a billion dollars. You may not like him speaking truth towards a derelict. But, truth is truth. It sometimes hurts.

Yeah, all the rich elites (and the people that worship them) seem to hate Trump since he beat Hillary. 

 

I wonder why that is...

Perhaps it's because 45 is SUCH a LYING LOSER?!? Hillary was just a weak candidate and as much as I can't stand 45, Hillary would have been even worse for the world. Look up the details of her hand in TPP.

DeNiro is a great actor, one of the best of his generation.

 

He is also a high school dropout who has spent his entire life pretending to be other people, saying things that other people tell him to say. Now, he does that masterfully. But it makes his opinions on politics about as valuable as a bucket of pee. 

 

I really wish celebrities on both sides would just STFU.  Stick to your knitting and entertain us.

"it makes his opinions on politics about as valuable as a bucket of pee. "

 

And your opinions on politics, how shall those be valued?

De Niro got some grief in New York Magazine for having his personal assistant drop what she was doing to deliver a martini from Nobu (he's a part-owner).

 

What person on earth can't make their own martini? It took longer to make the call. Being rich drives you mad. Rich and mega-famous? I'd go off the deep end too.

 

NY Mag is a good one to add to your daily news trawl -I'd call the politics old-lefty, which is now sort of the middle of the road. Also great only-in-New-York issues like a long read on why 3 bedroom apartments have vanished.

[CANSIAM]

If Trump wins in November, maybe you'll never hear from DeNiro again.............

Me, and what I see from the polls 1/2 the voters in the USA sees Biden and his progressive thinking to be a greater danger. We find biden's stance on immigration to be a greater threat than Trump's locker room talk. 

 

Blind to what Trump is? Not blind, I don't like him as a person, never watched his horrendous show, figured anyone who went to his college deserved what they got. 

 

Biden embraced wokism (not to be confused with liberalism) which is a greater danger than Trump's bad tweets or hair style.

Wow. Your panties are in a bun over minor issues.

 

The immigration situation wasn't great under Trump, but you guys didn't whine about it then.

 

As for "wokism", the opposite is racism, and you guys never complain about that.

 

You sound like those poorly educated old white guys dreading that their white privilege is going away.

The border is far from open under Biden, his Border Patrol is catching more illegals than when under Trump.

Biden's Border Patrol may be processing more illegals into the USA, but I'd hardly characterize that as "catching" them. 

 

They run toward Biden's Border Patrol because they know they'll get processed in and start getting all the free stuff.

What was the attack on the Capitol then, a family picnic to welcome Joe Biden???,

 

You seem to have a short memory and their behavior reminds me of Hitlers brownshirts with the extreme levels of violence refusing to accept an election result.

 

What a short or convenient memory you have.

Maybe we should pay more attention to logic and logical fallacies.  Attacking De Niro instead of his words entails using a common logical fallacy called "ad hominem" or "attack the man."   The Donald himself uses logical fallacies with wild abandon.  I agree with everything De Niro said about Trump except the view that Trump is "stupid."  He is not stupid.  He obviously understands how to manipulate and persuade tens of millions of Americans.  Americans would do well to heed George Orwell's words and steer clear of Mr. Trump.

Catching and releasing into the US with a debit card and and a hotel room.

 

Ten million in three years, you should be proud, and now Biden is wanting to bring Palestinians over as well. It's all good for De Niro, he loves them.

Lie.

 

Both the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection told PolitiFact they do not financially assist people who cross the border illegally.

 

NYC is thinking about providing debit cards to legal migrants.
