Cecil B. DeMille Award recipient Meryl Streep used her speech at the Golden Globes to rip President-elect Donald Trump. Streep addressed "foreigners" in Hollywood, bullying and Trump mocking a disabled reporter in her very political address to the room full of actors.

I haven’t been to a movie in...hell, it’s got to be about ten years. What’s more, I have absolutely no desire whatever to go again.
Indeed, Hollywood now faces a GIGANTIC problem. It's very likely every movie and TV show "greenlighted" for productino and preproduction within the last 18 months was done with the assumption that Hillary Clinton was elected President. But since that isn't the case, they now face the possibility of movies and TV shows that are "out of touch" with the moviegoing and TV viewing audience, and that could result in some very expensive financial losses for the Hollywood studios.
Yeah exactly. Women are considered “old” at 40, and most actresses are relegated to playing love interests, wives, and mothers.
I corrolate people of her ilk with the jesters in the king’s court in the days of old.
Pretty much useless for anything but entertainment.
‘Golden Globes’? Another Hollyweird mutual admiration and backslapping society?
Who cares what actors think?
The Hollywood scum in the room mostly nodded in agreement. So, I guess Hollywood is letting us know what side it’s on. When the time comes to round up traitors, this will be remembered.
Meryl, a fine actress, is so removed from the average person’s life that she forgets the middle person for the Hollywood headlines.
She gave a fine speech, but remembers little of those who daily punch the time clock and keep this nation going forward.
Trump speaks for those who punch the clock. With all of your talent, Ms. Streep, you do not hear all! If you will but listen, you will hear.
Why are actors opinions more important than anyone else’s?
It’s just a job.
They take themselves entirely too seriously and are arrogant about it.
And we do need journalists. Honest journalists.
They are in very short supply.
These Hollyweird, “You like me, you really like me and I like me too!” shows are just too flippin’ weird for the normal person to endure. Too many ***holes on stage in one place.
These A-listers have been partying at the White House at our expense for years. The party is over for them and their bloated sense of self-importance goes with it.
Streep really believes what she said. A belief system is as real to her as Christianity is to me.. Pray for her...
She would have more credibility if she’d stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the night before.
She and the rest of low-life ilk live in L.A. That’s all I need to know to know their opinion isn’t worth what I flush every morning.
The most sexist industry on the planet lectures on tolerance. They used to have abortion clinics on the lot in the day so the starlets could keep working.
Another “line reader” bites the dust in my book of people I don’t like.......;) Self-righteous idiots!
I refuse to watch but apparently, many on Facebook thought she was outstanding. They never did say what she said....
Was Debbie an R or D? I never heard anything about her political leanings.
That’s right! Trump was not mocking that “disabled” reporter.
The reporter’s “disability” was a slight tick in one of his hands that was barely noticeable.
Trump often moved his arms about wildly during his rallies. He was not mocking anyone.
And this disabled reporter went to Wasilla, Alaska to harass Sarah Palin. I’m sure moonbat Streep didn’t mention that factoid!
Truman Capote once said that Streep “looks like a chicken.”
More like she has a brain the size of a chicken’s.
Typical Hollywood yada, yada, yada. Self-aggrandizing. It is their responsibility to keep the rest of us honest.
