At the Golden Globes Sunday night, and the Oscars next month, expect lots of gold-plated bitching about Donald Trump. Honorees will mourn the “dark times in America” in their $20,000 frocks. Or they’ll mutter “fight the fascists” as they head back to their Malibu estates.
They’re going gaga in La La Land. Chris Kelly, co-head writer of “SNL,” said in March that “Donald Trump is winning because everyone you’ve ever been on a bus with gets to vote too.” The tweet wasn’t shocking because of its sneering disdain for Americans. What was breathtaking was the blitheness with which it dismissed a principle as formidable and established as democracy.
Four days after Donald Trump was elected president, “SNL” transmuted that disgust for the people into contempt for its own animating principle — that it should at least try to be funny. It opened the show with an open display of grief, Kate McKinnon’s weepy, earnest (and consequently) embarrassing performance of “Hallelujah” while dressed as Hillary Clinton. The show’s first post-9/11 segment was not nearly as sorrowful in tone.
McKinnon, Kelly and many other entertainers might as well have told 46 percent of their audience to take their business elsewhere. How contemptuous is that? Even Krusty the Clown, in one of his darkest hours, vowed to spit on only one of every 50 Krusty Burgers to punish America. That’s only 2 percent! When you hate 23 times as much as Krusty, seek therapy....

These people are so yesterday
They insult thinking people everywhere when they open their pie hole to spew what they think is an idea or point of view. Their right to be stupid though.
Last time I checked, Jackie Evancho is doing better than any of them on Amazon's "top 100" CDs/vinyl sales.
“take their business elsewhere”
Done
And who really cares about what the ‘elites’ think anymore?
If I had any respect for these leftists I might be insulted but since I don’t their contempt is like a badge of honour and I and all of us here hurl it right back at them. Ann Coulter said the badge of honour part a while ago but it still applies.
I have scheduled a pens sounding
Who the hell needs “celebrities” anyway?
They may know how to act or sing (most not even that) but they’re not more politically savvy than anyone else doing any kind of McJob in the country.
They think too highly of themselves, their opinions and their relevance.
People are pretty tired of them. Support local theater and local musicians and forget all this big time phony “celebrity” stuff.

I saw the Golden Globes once.
Oh, wait, that wasn’t that silly awards show that hardly anybody watches. It was something else.
Never mind.
“everyone you’ve been on a bus gets to vote too”

But that has to be the most prejudiced, classist and racist comment I have ever read.
Holy cow!!! Unbelievable.
Jackie Evancho has the voice of an angel.
Oh, he’s from SNL???
Of course he is.
Hope these stupid “entertainers” realize they are alienating half the country.
I’ve said this before. But Michael Jordan said it best. When asked for his political opinion, he said both Republicans and Democrats buy shoes.
Exactly!
All of my friends voted for Donald Trump. They all hold bachelor’s degrees, and some have master’s degrees as well as PhD degrees. How many of these infantile so-called celebrities have gone beyond a high school diploma?
They should get on their knees and thank God they had the talent and good fortune to be successful in the music, TV and movie industries. What a bunch of imbeciles.
I think I’m scheduled to organize my sock drawer on one of those nights, and my mud room closet accessories (hats and gloves and such) on the other.
“They may know how to act or sing (most not even that) but they’re not more politically savvy than anyone else doing any kind of McJob in the country.

But but but Sally Field appeared before Congress because she played a farm girl in a movie!
I’d rather watch reruns of Storage Wars.....
