It is a fact he mocked the reporters disability and denied, and is still denying, doing that.

Yes, I missed them all. I watched all his speeches and all his rally's. 60% of his time was spent lying about and slagging off any opponent, 30% of his time was spent talking about himself and how great and rich he is, 9.9% of his time was regurgitating word salad and any time left he either avoided any questions on policies,  knew nothing at all about the subject, pivoted back to Clinton or simply lied (such as the wall, which became a fence and yesterday was a wall again). His policy on Obamacare is 'repeal and replace', he claims it can be done in "one hour" and his only answer to 'how will you do that, what does the new healthcare look like' is "you will be so proud, so so proud"! Take your blinkers off. It is no shame to admit he conned you and he is a crooked buffoon. I genuinely feel sorry for people who cannot see what is wrong with him.

Obviously you were watching a different person to the one I saw that was nothing like what you say.

Be careful accusing people of lying unless you can back up your percentages. They look remarkably porkie to me.

I watched a 1998 film she was in and no doubt she was capable of good acting. However, she seems to have come to believe her own press as to being of any importance when it comes to political commentary. Just because she could act does not give her a right to use an inappropriate venue to slag off her president elect.

I do not believe you have even watched what she says.

 

Tell me what is political , or "slagging off about this. She was commenting on Trump (and never mentioned his name) when he mocked a disabled reporter (which Trump did, and do not try and deny it on here as denying it is not taken lightly)

I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie; it was real life. And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, filters down into everybody’s life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing.

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

 

Now please tell us, any of you who are slagging of Streep just exactly WHAT is wrong with what she said, and explain why she has no right to say it.

As the Trump campaign has pointed out, the actions and language he used he had previously used against two non-disabled reporters. So, yes, he mocked a disabled reporter but not for being disabled

No, that is BS spin, he mocked a disabled journalist. WATCH the video. How can you even think of denying it.

I'm quoting only Trump's words in response to your opinion " So, yes, he mocked a disabled reporter but not for being disabled"

 

1/ Trump lashed out at columnists Jonah Goldberg and Charles Krauthammer. Krauthammer had called the candidate a "rodeo clown." "I get called by a guy that can't buy a pair of pants, I get called names?" Trump said at the time.

   (Krauthammer is paralyzed from the waist down.)

 

2/ "Now, the poor guy -- you've got to see this guy, 'Ah, I don't know what I said! I don't remember!" Trump said as he jerked his arms in front of his body. The gesture was all the more personal because Kovaleski covered Trump while reporting for the New   York     Daily News between 1987 and 1993, a tumultuous period for Trump

Readily. I didn't say he didn't mock the guy, I said he didn't mock him for being disabled

So why crook his right hand up like the journalists and start speaking like 'quazimodo'? still if he is your kind of person carry on. Decent people know what he did.

My view is that we have four years of unending entertainment ahead of us. Half of it will come from the Groper-in-Chief. The other half will come from people like you, foaming at the mouth

Who said anything about Streep leaving, I certainly didn't.  There were about 16 in all and she was not one of them. 

 

Have they left yet?

Sounds like a personal opinion and one that lots of people disagree with. Considering you often go on about other playing mind readers etc. - how would you know that? Do all of Trump supporters object to what she actually said? Doubt all are impressed by Trump's ways or are zealots taking every imagined slight to his image as a personal offense to themselves.

I am not one, as you quite explicitly put it, "slagging off" at Ms Streep but she didn't really have to mention his name to get her message across.  One would have to be a dill not to know to whom she was referring.

 

My two bob's worth is that I don't believe he did so, (MO) so what  do you mean by the statement that if someone denies it on here than that the denial will not be taken lightly?  I hope one is not resorting to threats.

This is so much distraction from what is imprortant.

Donald Trump is going to MAGA and the Hollywood know-it-all's cannot abide by anything that smacks of common sense.

The term 'slag off' being explicitly used by Thaibeachlover whom my post was in response to.

So look at the picture, look at the video and tell me he did not imitate the disability.

I am saying nothing. A MOD on here has already stated that anyone found posting links to sites or videos that try and claim Trump was not mocking a reporter will face suspension. If you want to take that as a threat then fill your boots.

Trump is the prototype-fascist anticipated by Orwell. His nihilism will remove many of the checks and balances that hold back the attempted excesses of others in the political class.

Yes. Boringly predictable victim mentality. Claiming oppression because of opposing 'views'. You make this issue about Orwellian doublespeak and agitprop to divert away from the issue of donald's disgusting bullying of a disabled person; bullying that I and many others witness directly. This so called 'opposing view' is an insult to our intelligence and has rightly been called out by everyone from Hollywood actors, to civil rights organizations, to TVF moderators.

 

Being contrarian is fine but when it is done at the expense of a minority disabled person, it is puerile.

 

I refer to the last words of your post : it is puerile... it is what young children do when they test and discover the concept of cruelty and learn to how gain popularity by making other people laugh.

Meryl Streep nailed it perfectly, and she is the kind of woman who can say it out loud - with impact.

I - besides- have no doubt about Trump's admiration for Meryl Streep as an actress.
