Meryl Streep Pledges to Stand Up to ‘Brownshirts’ in Tirade Against Trump
NYT ^ | 12 Feb2017 | Sopan Deb

Meryl Streep, in a fiery speech criticizing President Trump on Saturday night, pledged to stand up against “brownshirts and bots” at a time when she and others are increasingly denouncing his administration’s policies and the president himself.

Ms. Streep, in New York City accepting an award from the Human Rights Campaign, referred to the backlash she received after the Golden Globes in January, when she gave a speech denouncing Mr. Trump.

“It’s terrifying to put the target on your forehead, and it sets you up for all sorts of attacks and armies of brownshirts and bots and worse, and the only way you can do it is to feel you have to,” Ms. Streep said. “You have to. You don’t have an option. You have to.”

This broad was once invited to testify before a Congressional Committee on agricultural policy because she once played a farmer's wife in a film.

Ten bucks says that it was the Rats who invited her.

Well Meryl, get out there and stand between the hammers and the plate glass which the brownshirts were smashing in their own Berkeley Krystallnacht to keep a Jew from speaking.

Never mind that all the brown shirts are left-wing.

PS - Any masked rioters should be shot on sight.

Dementia is setting in hard. Poor Streep. She never was the sharp pencil in the box and now she is just down right pathetic.

Standing up to a mirror could cause a mess of shards of glass.

I’m fed up with these dumb ass people, and hope she gets mugged by a nasty illegal. Then hear what she has to say.

She is just so brave, isn’t she?

She's effing delusional and should be undergoing some serious psycho-analysis.

Yep it was RATs who invited her.
Another example of facts & actual expertise be damned if it doesn't fit the RAT narrative. Use ‘theater’ to bedazzle the rube or deplorable voter into thinking that RATs care!

T think (or at least I hope!) the “rube/deplorable voter realizes now how he has been had & used.

Streep go memorize & speak someone else’s words. My neighbor has a parrot that does that!

These alleged people ARE the brownshirts, and IIRC, it didn’t end too well for the original brownshirts.

They were done in by their own.

Re: "Stand Up to Brownshirts and Bots"

"My speech is perfect and must be true because I... am perfect in creating a character!"

So true, dear, but what you said shows you... truly have no character at all.

Hey, I was only a 'Brownshirt Bot'... when Johnny Football was playing there!

Those in the picture are the kind the US Marshals need to covertly surround and capture, along with the insurrectionists manning their command posts and the snipers they have protecting those traitor Communists on overwatch. These thugs are completely trained, organized, thuroughly funded, and have paid attorneys who will show up to bail them oit. All need to find out about RICO, and you will find all the usual suspects tied up in the conspiracy to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump and the US Constitution. Soros, Obama, clintons, the DNC, communist Party, the Media, Hollywood, CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, BLM, the Green Paty, and on and on.
