If you know anything about awards ceremonies, many have been used as platforms for politically oriented speeches.  Meryl's is spot on.  She's a highly respected, and awarded, actress.

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.

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.

Page 14 and not one Trump supporter can bring themselves to say that he should have simply let it slide and isn't doing himself any favours.

The thing is, I'm sure in their heart of hearts that is exactly what they are thinking.

Unless it's John Wayne or Ronald Reagan of course, then it's an entirely different matter. After all, who could possibly call them overrated?

Not true at all. Why do you constantly attribute one person's opinion to everyone that you disagree with? 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.

 

Is it an idiotic political opinion to criticize a leader imitating a handicapped person?

Page 14 and all the HRC followers are still whining and just keep on keeping on.

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. 

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.

So in your mind if someone is not a trump fan they are a follower of Clinton?  Oops.

Did someone say something about  a third rate actor trying to remain relevant?

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.

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 you are thinking of the lame duck whose office he will be taking in just a few days.

Actually he has more experience in professional acting than public service (NOTHING), dude.

Not a lot of difference from the last guy who held the office. Neither had much political experience when they were elected.

trump has NONE. 

Obama had held state office and national office.

Having prior business experience may be the experience that helps Trump succeed over and above the type of nonsense he tweets in response to Meryl Streep et al. Markets are currently exceedingly positive.

Yes, agreed that many have been used in that manner but does that make it right? 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.

*Removed post edited out*

 

Not all members here supporting Streep are HRC followers.  Some are just opposed to the harsh comments about a very accomplished actress.

There's a huge difference.  One respected others and his job.  Obama was a senator and a lawmaker.  Trump has little respect for many, and obviously has little respect for his job. He should give up on Twitter.

 

Huge difference.

Sounds like a personal opinion and one that lots of people disagree with. Meryl Streep offended half the voters in the country for their vote.

Never said they were. They can be opposed just as others are opposed to the harsh comments about the President elect.  I have no problem if things are dealt with in a fair and even manner.

Typical Bizarro Trumpeteer "logic".

 

Streep offended?

 

Disinformation and deflection much?

The uproar over Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes speech, explained

Streep’s speech was barely political. It still provoked backlash from Donald Trump and conservatives.
