Meryl's is spot on. She's a highly respected, and awarded, actress. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/02/22/13-times-oscar-speeches-got-political/?utm_term=.f7fa444d8b11 Well, you'd think they would've learned their lesson from the embarrassment that was the Hollywood lineup's video, one cringe worthy line which was something along the lines of 'well he's (Trump) used to saying 'you're fired'' alluding. ironically, to Trump starting a war *gasp* Believe Barry has cornered the market on that one. Which they will now be reminded of for the rest of their careers, if they have one. But not as much as Madonna offering blow jobs to those voting for Clinton. Class. And now we have Rosie O'Donnell asking for Hollywood to go on strike, as if they and their self importance would be missed. Do they count as a 'political platform'? BTW, Streep is most certainly over rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect For someone claiming to have little idea of who Streep is you have sure hijacked the thread. I imagine that with the majority of Americans i.e. at least the popular vote, the respect for her has gone up 10 fold. I guess also with the millions of Americans that voted for party first and truly despise Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she is an excellent actor and said so. It is her idiotic political opinions that do not interest me. Sean Penn is in the same category.

Guitar God Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Trump's opinion of her acting abilities have no bearing on the validity of her points. Trump is a walking example of the many different fallacies of logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Imagine how trump would have swooned if some D list actor had praised him in a similar venue? Of course such actors rarely win big awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're giving Trump a bit too much credit calling him a "third rate actor." A thin-skinned, abusive demagog and poser would be a more appropriate description for him.

Ulysses G. Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Sorry, but you are mistaken. He is not an actor and he is VERY relevant. Soon to be the leader of the free world.

Maybe she's spot on in you eyes but others have differing opinions so why can't you respect theirs or is it because you believe you're always right, that others are not. Don't forget, the world is still looking for the perfect man. I do respect other people's opinions, unless they are trolling with derogatory comments about a highly rewarded and respect actress. She's not my favorite actress, but no denying she's highly accomplished. And has every right to speak her mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a personal opinion and one that lots of people disagree with.

It still provoked backlash from Donald Trump and conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
