Hollywood hubris takes a hit
By Lynne Lechter

Because they are exceptionally good looking and/or they are very good at inhabiting the lives of others, top actors in Hollywood make oodles of money. For many, this enables them to hire personal staff who cater to their every whim. They live like royalty.

Moreover, howling fans and the press follow, or even stalk them, asking them for autographs, and in myriad ways possible, stoke their outsized egos.

Not content to stay in their own lane, festooned with paparazzi, limousines, private jets and dazzling wardrobes, some have hurled themselves, unasked, into political opinion.

In an authorized X account, Rob Reiner opined that Trump is a snake, stating that after Trump bites you, he sells you the antidote. That seems more like a backhanded compliment than a takedown. Supposedly, Reiner also said he would light himself on fire if Trump won.

Hollywood stars who have said they would leave the United  States if Trump won include Cher, Sharon Stone, Bryan Cranston, Tommy Lee of the Mӧtley Crüe, Sophie Turner, Minnie Driver, Barbra Streisand — who also so threatened in 2016 — Sharon and Ozzy Osborne, Elon Musk’s estranged son, and America Ferrera.

Want to bet on how many actually do?

The thing that irks me the most about these Hollywood leftists is that they live in a world of do-overs.  When shooting a scene, they can screw up 47 times in a row.  And on the 48th take, they finally get it right.  And all the world sees is that 48th take.

They have no concept of real-world leadership.  A company CEO screws up the 1st take, and 10,000 people lose their jobs.  They don't get 47 more takes to get it right.  Those 10,000 people are still out of a job.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Tens of millions of people voted for Trump.  How many people voted for Meathead, and who elected him?

A shitload of taxpayer funded campaign funds went toward Kamala's Hollywood Cameo performances.

An example of getting, while the getting's good.

Kammie's schmoozing with Hollyweird celebs probably hurt her more than their $$ helped her.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

They tend to uh, over rate their own influence? Like Deniro thought people would actually listen to him? He's a good actor, but you are not relatable in the slightest.

And they are poorer for it. A win-win.

Why did that bitch need public funds? She had the full weight and power of the top 1% of this country on her side.

Yabbut, they were buying the absence of names from Epstein's and Diddy's guest lists in public spaces. You know a bunch of that billion got skimmed.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
