Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes Speech
By DANIEL VICTOR and GIOVANNI RUSSONELLOJAN. 8, 2017
Turning attention away from her and toward Donald J. Trump, Meryl Streep used her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes to call out the president-elect for appearing to mock a disabled New York Times reporter in 2015, and warned that a free press would need to be defended. Ms. Streep campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

This is rich - someone who works in an industry that trades in depicting violence lecturing America about cause and effect.
Why would anyone take advise from someone who deals in fantasy? Now, if she were an accountant... no nonsense, fact and reason based... I might listen to her.

Kellyanne Conway: I Wish Meryl Streep Was As Concerned About Disabled Boy Tortured On Facebook Live

KELLYANNE CONWAY: I'm glad Meryl Streep has such a passion for the disabled because I didn't hear her weigh in or I didn't even hear her use her platform last night, Ainsley, to give the shoutout to the mentally challenged boy who last week was tortured live on Facebook for half an hour, by four young African-American adults who were screaming racial and anti-Trump expletives and forcing him to put his head in toilet water.
So I'd like to hear from her today, if she wants to come and continue her platform on behalf of the disabled. And Donald Trump is absolutely right. He has debunked this so many times. She sounds like 2014. The election is over. She lost.

Meh, actors and reality stars oh my.

Just shut up and act (unless they validate their beliefs then say whatever you want whenever you want and we'll cheer). I'm tired of all these rich celebrities trying to get their noses in politics (unless we vote for them).

Streep and her self-absorbed, "progressive" Hollywood ilk do not merit a moment of attention. I give them none of my money and only notice them when the news covers something they say, as in this instance. Their panic and grief are music, their hypocrisy is clear to all, and they richly deserve scorn, contempt, and hostility.
But Hollywood's sins don't cancel Trump's. Multiple spins and denials notwithstanding, he did mock the NY Times reporter's disability; the clear video evidence is undeniable to anyone who isn't part of the Trump infallibility myth. He is guilty as charged.
The voters all saw that and made up their minds. What was once said about Clinton should now be repeated to the "progressives" who coined the phrase : "Move on."

He is so petty. It is so trivially easy to goad him into a response. I wonder if there is ever a case where he's turned the other cheek, taken the high road, etc.
Petty? I've never been a Trump supporter, but what I find petty is the liberty that our Hollywood "icons" take to insult and slam the GOP and get away with it. Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet; I can only imagine how Hollywood is going to take it upon themselves to continue stirring the progressive pot. This is not only bad for our country, but imagine with the rest of the world takes from this! I've never liked Streep; last snooze fest of a movie she was in that I saw was "Out of Africa". I now have yet another reason not to see one of her films.

Donald Trump wasted no time responding to Meryl Streep's remarks at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards where the actress gave a somber speech about the President-elect.
Trump called Streep "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood" in a tweet Monday morning calling her a "Hillary flunky who lost big."
Shortly after the 74th annual Golden Globes wrapped, where "La La Land" and "Moonlight" were the night’s big winners, Trump told the NY Times he had not seen the show or Streep's remarks. He also added that he was "not surprised" for coming under attack from "liberal movie people" especially a "Hillary Lover" like Streep.
He continued to defend his behavior from an interview with a disabled reporter in 2015 in which he insists he didn't mock anyone, a moment Streep had said was an example of Trump's "instinct to humiliate."
"I was never mocking anyone. I was calling into question a reporter who had gotten nervous because he had changed his story," he told the paper in a phone interview after the Globes. "People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter’s disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing."
His tweets Monday morning echoed his thoughts late Sunday night.
Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him.......
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017
groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017
Top aide to Donald Trump Kellyanne Conway told "Fox and Friends" Monday she's "concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep's is inciting people's worst instincts."
She said of Streep, "I really wish she would have stood up last night and said, 'I didn't like the election results but he is our president and we're going to support him.'"
And with the inauguration just 11 days away, the President-elect said he's not worried about having celebrities attend the momentous day.
"We are going to have an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout for the inauguration, and there will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars," Trump said. "All the dress shops are sold out in Washington. It's hard to find a great dress for this inauguration."
In accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award, Streep said Trump's behavior "sank its hooks in my heart." She asked for a "principled press to hold Trump [accountable]" and to call him out "for every outrage." Her comments were met with applause, tears and support by her fellow actors in the audience, and actor Chris Pine called her speech the "best message of tonight." Trump was the main target of a slew of political barbs including from Golden Globes host Jimmy Fallon who compared the president-elect to the evil King Joffrey in "Game of Thrones."
Hugh Laurie, accepting his award for best supporting actor in "The Night Manager," also indulged in Trump jokes, speculating that this would perhaps be the last Golden Globes ceremony.
"I don't mean to be gloomy, but it has the words 'Hollywood,' 'foreign' and 'press' in the title," Laurie said, explaining his pessimism about the awards surviving the Trump era. He added that some Republicans don't even like the word "association."
He accepted his award "on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere."
-
From Host Jimmy Fallon's Monologue:
"Welcome to the Golden Globes, one of the few places in America where the popular vote still counts."
"What would it be like if Psychotic King Joffrey had lived? Well, in 12 days we’re going to find out.” (reference to Game of Thrones Character).
"Even Florence Foster Jenkins turned down performing at Trump’s inauguration".
"The Accounting firm of 'Ernst and Young and Putin' has tabulated the votes for Tonight’s winners"
-
“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,” Streep said, prompting what CNN described as “huge applause” from the gathered A-listers.
Yeah except no one’s getting ‘kicked out’ of anywhere are they, so that’s all fake.
In fact, if Trump really did want to kick out foreign born people residing in America, he’d probably have to start with his own wife. If his mother were still alive, he’d also have to show her the door.
So, yeah, unlikely, and completely made up.

Hollywood did the same thing with Reagan and the Bushes. Now Reagan, being one of them, knew how to handle it. But the Bushes just took it. Where did it get them?

We’ll Always Have Hollywood. Unfortunately.
Michelle Obama's Mirror (http://www.michellesmirror.com/2017/01/well-always-have-hollywood-unfortunately.html#.WHO1sFyK9w8)
Hollywood’s 2017 Pity Party officially began last night with the annual Golden Globes Award Show.
And the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award went to…Meryl Streep! Her acceptance speech was everything you could expect from a former Presidential Medal of Freedom winner, Kennedy Center Performing Arts Award winner and BFF to both Hillary AND Michelle.
After celebrating Hollywood’s diversity by running through a list of foreigners working there (legally, I assure you) she noted:
“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.”
No, indeed. Those would be things the Basket of Deplorables would watch. Along with NASCAR. Definitely not “the arts” or anything else the Hollywood brain trust would waste their time on. ...

Streep isn't just disparaging Trump. She is disparaging everyone who supported him, and even those who may not have voted for him but are conservatives. They hate the fact their beloved Rat Party didn't win and they are taking it out on traditional Americans. Trump is just the proxy.

Actually, given the dreadful quality of today's Hollyweird product in tv and cinema, we could do worse than to fire all the "creative" people in Hollyweird and bring in a totally new crew of actors, writers, directors, producers, etc.
Most of the current Hollyweird product is riddled with liberal p.c. to the point that it seems even commercials can't be made without being totally lib p.c.
There must be x amount of black actors in every commercial, and white males have to be shown to be complete doofuses. White women and black actors must be shown to be smarter than white males and teach them the error of their ways...if possible because as we know from Hollyweird white males are too stupid to learn anything.
My wife laughed at me not too long ago when I remarked on the remarkable numbers of black actors in national tv ads. She isn't laughing anymore...at least not at me. She now laughs with me when we see ad after ad with black actors....and many ads with all the people in them black. A visitor from another country who watches American ads must be surprised to go to places other than large American cities and not see many black people. They must think after watching the ads that America is at least 50% black or more.
Of course not all commercials follow that line, but after watching the trends for the last fifty years, p.c. liberalism dominates the thinking of the people who make the ads.

Meryl Streep is terrible and overrated.

Trump said she is "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood".
Streep is a fine actress, one of the best. Trump cannot take one criticism without trying to smash the person. He has stock phrases he uses to denigrate his critics:
"over-rated", "loser", "terrible ratings", "dishonest", "liar", "on her(/his/their) way out", etc. We should start a list of his stock replies to attack people. His insecurity can't handle an opinion different than his and if one makes a real criticism of him as Streep did, he will be on her case the rest of her life.

Isn't it amusing how Streep invoked her New Jersey roots and the non-Hollywood origins of many of her colleagues tonight as evidence of their American authenticity? Honey, you couldn't wait to get out of Jersey. Your kids never attended underfunded schools in a public school system coping with students who speak 50 different languages...where all the arts programs were eliminated years ago. You don't know what its like to worry about health insurance premiums. Or whether your husband, son, or brother working in law enforcement will be gunned downed doing his job. All those places you mentioned...they elected Donald Trump. Why can't you just say, thank you, instead of presuming to lecture the audience which has made your golden life possible, the people who still live in the America between New York and LA, who've been shafted, year after year, by your beloved hero, Barack Hussein Obama. Another one bites the dust.

I agree with you. I'm not a supporter of the Donald but I have absolutely know problem with this behavior. I'm tired of this ridiculous "He needs to act Presidential". If acting "Presidential" means not responding to these horrible people, like we have done for too many years, then I'm glad he's not acting "Presidential". I'm enjoying it and hope it continues.
I'm all for getting in the gutter to fight the Rats. It's where they reside. Pretending they're not there doesn't get rid of them, they only breed more.

A "free press"? That's a very unfunny joke. America's press hasn't been ""free"" for decades. And anyone with half a still-working brain cell knows it. Everyone that isn't a Hollyweird leftist will admit it. Obviously, that does not include Meryl. STFU, Streep. Your leftism and ignorance is showing.

But he should have ignored her, as should we all.

The same is true of TV shows. Even Wheel of Fortune seems to feel compelled to have at least one guy a week who is 'engaged' to another guy ... or some gal who is engaged to another gal.
Not that there's anything wrong with that but this desperation to be politically correct leads to some strange casting choices.

IMO, Bush "ignored it" while dutifully playing the role of Lame Duck after the 2006 mid-terms. Both he and his dad thought it was beneath them to forcefully advocate for their policies, to let others do their heavy lifting. Obama's (and Trump's) rise to power was a consequence of that.

Both Bush's, father and son, were "Presidential" and were replaced by democrats for President, Senate and House.
Later McCain and then Romney were "presidential," too. A lot of good, being "presidential" did.
Obama with his genteel speaking manner, marches us towards Marxism.
But Trump is tough and he won. Gen. George Patton was tough, too and he won.

What movie has she been in that real people went to see?
Sophie's Choice is amazing, IMHO.
Doesn't mean that I like her as a person, but she can act.

I think I rented that Eastwood one. Couldn't watch it. Damn near swore off of Clint for awhile after that. Damn near ruined his carreer

I was hoping his narcissistic disorder of taking credit for everything, and insulting anyone who disagrees with him would lesson after the nomination, but it seems to be getting even worse now that he's on a bigger stage.
We just had a quasi-Marxist dictator for eight years.....now we're going to have an egomaniac with an infantile need to crush ankle biters. Great.

@musiclady
Very good movie. The scene where she gets off the train with her children at the concentration camp is one of the hardest things I've ever watched.
I thought she was excellent in "The Devil Wears Prada." I would have sworn she was playing a former boss of mine.
That said, Streep is a witch. I remember reading that she's known as the Nasty Lady to her neighbors in Connecticut.

@CatherineofAragon
Agree about the scene getting off the train. Tears my heart out....
Also was surprised at how good she was in Prada, although if she's really that much of a witch, she didn't have to act that much in that role. ^-^
-
He is so petty. It is so trivially easy to goad him into a response. I wonder if there is ever a case where he's turned the other cheek, taken the high road, etc.
Unfortunately Trump does not understand the concept of turning the other cheek. Trump take the high road? He is self-absorbed and childish. I hope he closes his Twitter account when he is sworn in. I shudder to think what he would say about world leaders.

Don't you realize that that is precisely why his fans wanted him elected? Because he's not PC, and has diarrhea of the mouth (and fingers).
It will be COOL to see him incense world leaders and put our security at risk.
Don't you get it?? :whistle:

Trump Praised The “Overrated” Meryl Streep In 2015

Donald Trump, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, published August 19, 2015:
Any actress you love?
Julia Roberts is terrific, and many others. Meryl Streep is excellent; she’s a fine person, too. The problem is I’ll name three or four or five and then the hundred that I know will be insulted, and I don’t mean to insult them.

Meryl Streep yesterday: Without us all you're left with is football.
Football today: I think that's going to be more than enough, thank you.
David French @DavidAFrench 7h7 hours ago
Meryl Streep missed a great game.
In the wake of last night's exciting title game, Meryl's disdain for football does seem more than a little pathetic.
-

She's probably birtchy because she knows she isn't even the greatest actor of her own generation. D.D. Lewis and possibly others already have her easily beat.
-
Meryl Streep played Anna Wintour in Devil Wears Prada, who is a good friend of Trump. Interesting fact.
That's the only thing I've seen here where she's stood out.
She was in an old movie called the Deer Hunter that was good.

Meryl Streep's words incite C-SPAN caller to threaten President-Elect Trump
By M. Catharine Evans
Meryl Streep's six-minute attack on President-Elect Donald Trump at the Golden Globes incited one C-SPAN caller to actually threaten the incoming president on air. The actress's Sunday-night award speech was the topic of John McArdle's call-in show Monday morning.
In his call, which begins at the 10:02 mark, a Democrat named Julius, from Greensboro, North Carolina, blasts Trump as a "bully and a phony." Bizarrely, he references Trump's 2005 Access Hollywood recording. Trump's 11-year-old comments prompt an angry Julius to tell McArdle that if Trump were to come near Julius's two daughters, "I would do something to him [Trump]."

"We should not use positions of power to bully poeple," Meryl Streep said, "except when we can use the IRS to bully tea party groups, or when we can use the State authority in Oregon to bankrupt bakers, or when we can use the state supreme court of NM to bully photographers, or when we can get CEO's fired for donating to Prop 8 in California, or when we can jail a guy for making a youtube video, or when we can use the power of the press to attack pizza joints, or whenever we can call a conservative names!"
In other words, she is a hypocrite! Just like all democrats.

The point in posting the GIF is to show that this is a TYPICAL Trump gesture when he makes fun or mocks his opponents. He has done this a LOT of times.
He is NOT specifically making fun of a person's disability.
See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aYFC_7ZIn4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aYFC_7ZIn4)
and here:

So, if Meryl Streep can make a similar gesture without being attacked, why attack Trump?

My gut tells me that Trump is innocent of this stuff but... what goes around comes around right?
When you make insinuations and tell half truths and outright lies, don't be surprised when this stuff comes around full circle.
Trump can be exonerated, but not because we believe anything Trump says. Another more integral figure will have to do it.
This will dog Trump for the rest of his Presidency.

Much of it was filmed in Weirton, W.Va., though. I believe the wedding scenes were filmed in Cleveland. The film is supposed to take place in the western Pa. area, as I recall, but then there are the inexplicably huge mountains in the hunting scenes that look more like Colorado. :shrug:
As in so many of her movies, I believe Meryl was completely miscast in Deer Hunter.

And about that photo............... just drove through PA from DC back to OH, and that sure don't look like what I saw!
Beautiful mountains in PA (actually I prefer them to the Rockies), but they're not that majestic by any stretch.
(Movie audiences used to be a bit more naïve, so they didn't work very hard to authenticate the locale).

My father grew up in the U.P. (Calumet), but I never once heard him use the term. He and his family moved to Detroit during The Great Depression. Maybe the term hadn't been invented yet.
