Trump battles Meryl Streep with tweets as Cabinet picks prepare for grilling

That usually tends to be my take... how easy is is to get a rise out of the angry left!

Hey at least the left doesn't mock the disabled or defend those who do when they get angry
 
What about if he takes a few seconds now and again to smack disabled peoples disabilities? Is that great? Is that what will make America great again?

You're eating the lie... Bon apetit.
 
He's going to get nothing done except make himself and his pals richer. He doesn't give two ****s about you or the common man. All he's doing is spoon feeding you and has base feel good things that they want to hear and you'll soon come to realize that.

ROTFLOL... these 8-years are going to be fun... watching Libs heads explode, all because they believe the lies and deceit and idiocies fed to them... and then freak out.

Great entertainment, and Trump knows how to jerk the chains of the idiots like Streep who represent your party.

Lol i couldn't give 2 ****s less about Streep or what she did in 2003. She's not the president, don't you get that. (notice no question mark because obviously you do not)

You hate the disabled more than you love trump, or you love trump enough to overcome your indifference to the disabled? That is the only question left here

I am disabled. That isn't the subject of the thread and I don't want to hijack the thread. I get that she isn't president. I also get that Trump is good at bringing out the window lickers. When he tweets they all **** themselves, no matter what it's about. It's pretty entertaining but I am a sadist so I enjoy watching them cry about nonsensical ****. The average person doesn't give a **** about what Trumps says about Meryl Streep.

Your turn. :mrgreen:

Please, continue.
 
Trump saw what happened to Bush 43... the endless attacks.

He's smart to take these lying clowns on now and again.

Twitter is a great tool. Easy to correct the record... Takes a few seconds, and look at how it winds the Left up.

Now and again? Trump looks like a social-media-addicted teenager, he's tweeting so much. Tell you what, his supporters are gonna have to get louder to cover up that they're getting fewer, if he keeps this crap up.
 
You just don't get it. The critics of Trump will only get louder and more numerous. Our values will not be sacrificed for a jerk like Trump. He is a disgrace to all Americans.

And I hope they do get louder. The louder they are, the more they will show America what Liberalism is really about.

I think I have a new hobby, watching people **** themselves about meaningless tweets.

After 8-years of having an anti-American Marxist and a cadre of morons riding alongside him, forgive me if I laugh my ass off.

This guy is a doer, hired a bunch of doers for his cabinet. That freaks the Left out.

Deep down, they know it.

The screaming from the left will be equivalent to a stadium of people with their hair afire. They're gonna make the Seahawks 12th Man sound like a pin drop...

... and I'm going to enjoy every second of it...

...because he's gonna be getting stuff done, and Making America Great Again!!!

Trump needs to stop having twitter-tantrums like a school girl who got felt up in the drive-in.

You're saying that President Trump should stop communicating with the people? Clinton did that the year prior to the general election. How did that workbout for her? Why do you hate free speech?

Oh, yeah the left NEVER said one unkind word about Trig Palin. :roll:
The left not only mocks the disabled, they mock disabled kids!

You all are too funny.
 
Mocking of a disabled reporter because he was disabled vice the reporter being untruthful in his statements.

Anyone who thinks Trump was not mocking that reporter is truly partisan blind.
 
Well obviously, because many of us still believe she was better than Trump. Just because we were outvoted doesn't mean we are wrong. Did you suddenly acknowledge that every democratic president was better than their republican counterpart just because they won? If she did win, then she, and the democratic party, would have had to answer for her flaws, just like how republicans now have to answer for Trumps.

Fact is, time to get over Hillary. Most liberals did back in 2016. She's not an excuse any more for the man you voted for being a ****ty human being.

what makes the guy a ****ty human being in your eyes other than he beat Hillary and kept the Democrats out of the white house?

Ummmm...wouldn't being felt up be a good reason to complain though? I don't think Trump can really say he has much good reason to complain here.

This is more like the guy bitching because he got one less onion ring then he expected.

yeah mocking the reporter -not mocking his disability. that's the big difference, so you are SORT of right-anyone who claims Trump was NOT mocking the REPORTER is a moron

however, to claim it was over his disability-now that is partisan hackery
 
Funny enough, his brat-like and man-child tendencies almost seem representative of what the GOP has devolved into since the end of the Bush era. Reactionary, whiny, and anti-intellectual fervor robed in flesh. With a hint of bigotry.

Streep needs to go back to her million dollar mansion, behind her security fence and STFU.

Funny, I was about to say the same about our president-elect.

You obviously have had seconds of the kool-aid.
 
LOL....because Trump says he wasn't mocking him...that's good enough for you....despite the video? LOL....let me guess...you also believe that he is going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it...because he said it. right? Too funny. :doh

still confused I see-mocking a reporter for forgetting what he said? YES

mocking a reporter over a disability-BS
 
So embarrassing to call myself an American these days with this guy as my "leader." :doh

Perhaps you prefer Merkel.

Or the son of the Commi Lover... Trudeau.

You preferred the wholly incompetent Obama?

The rapist Clinton?

The national security threat and hammer for rapist Clinton?

Hollande?

ah yes, the race card coming from the out of power left. to be expected. the real reactionaries are the effete lefties who think the answer to everything is more government control, more laws, more taxes
 
I believe she said that Trump was going to "kick out" all or most of Hollywood foreigners, and we'd only have "football and mixed martial arts" to entertain us. Is that a fact?


No. That is not what she said.

Please sit down. Thank you. I love you all. You’ll have to forgive me. I’ve lost my voice in screaming and lamentation this weekend. And I have lost my mind sometime earlier this year, so I have to read.

Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press. Just to pick up on what Hugh Laurie said: You and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press.

But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places. I was born and raised and educated in the public schools of New Jersey. Viola was born in a sharecropper’s cabin in South Carolina, came up in Central Falls, Rhode Island; Sarah Paulson was born in Florida, raised by a single mom in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids in Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Vicenza, Italy. And Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem. Where are their birth certificates? And the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, raised in London — no, in Ireland I do believe, and she’s here nominated for playing a girl in small-town Virginia.

Ryan Gosling, like all of the nicest people, is Canadian, and Dev Patel was born in Kenya, raised in London, and is here playing an Indian raised in Tasmania. So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. And if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.

They gave me three seconds to say this, so: An actor’s only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us, and let you feel what that feels like. And there were many, many, many powerful performances this year that did exactly that. Breathtaking, compassionate work.

But there was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and 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, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose. O.K., go on with it.

O.K., this brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call him on the carpet for every outrage. That’s why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in the Constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the Committee to Protect Journalists, because we’re gonna need them going forward, and they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.

One more thing: Once, when I was standing around on the set one day, whining about something — you know we were gonna work through supper or the long hours or whatever, Tommy Lee Jones said to me, “Isn’t it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor?” Yeah, it is, and we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight.

As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art.
