Kevin Costner: 'Criminal' Trump ‘Spits on 200 Years of Freedom’
Dailypoliticalnewswire.com ^ | August 20, 2020 | Keely Sharp

Hollywood actor Kevin Costner is accusing President Donald Trump of being a "criminal" due to his refusal to throw BILLIONS of dollars in funding to the United States Postal Service (USPS).

“It’s terrible. It’s terrible,” Costner proclaimed during an interview with The Daily Beast. “Nothing is surreal. Everything is highly real, and it’s dangerous. And it’s shameful.”

The 65-year-old declared that Trump is breaking the law and undermining democracy. Funnily enough, he never specifies what law is being broken by the president. Perhaps because there isn't any.

"History will judge you," he said. "When you look back at [Joseph] McCarthy, when you look back at black-and-white footage and see people who were beating on those who were marching for freedom, you don’t want to be that person. And there’s a lot of people where, when you look back ten years, they’re going to see themselves."

Costner continued, "What you have to try to lean on is that every four years we get to decide whether we’re going in the right direction or we’re not. And we now, because of the way the country is set up, which is beautiful, we have that opportunity. And anyone who would interfere with that process in a deliberate way to have an outcome, that’s criminal. And it spits on 200 years of freedom."

Kevin Costner has always been a perfectly adequate actor as long as he's asked to play the role of Kevin Costner:

Treasury Agent Kevin, Kevin Earp, PGA Kevin, Kevin of Sherwood, CIA Spook Kevin Ryan, John Fitzgerald Kevin, Dances With Kevin, Crash Kevin, Field Of Kevins, General Manager of the Kevin Browns, etc etc.

Costner is just hoping someone will greenlight “The Postman 2 - Dystopian Mailbox”

It’s been a while since this guy bankrupted a studio.

Waterworld, 1995, Budget $175 m., U.S. Box Office $88 m.
Postman, 1997, Budget $80 m., U.S. Box Office $18 m.

Now he wants to bankrupt the entire country.

Why doesn’t Costner pay for the rebuilding of the THREE Post Offices that were burned to the ground in Minneapolis during the riots? Why doesn’t he offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of those who burned down those Post Offices? Why doesn’t he offer rewards for those who have looted Post Office vehicles, robbed and assaulted mail-carriers?

You won’t find any democrat doing any of these things, because they are the ones who have suupported, encouraged, and financed the rioting, looting, vandalism, arson and other forms of illegal activity sweeping our cities.

Sad ain’t it. What the hell happens to some of these assclowns? Especially considering some of the roles he’s played. Guess he portrays patriotic conservatives better than his real life brain dead actions. Typical follyweird dumbassery.

Illegal aliens are now in the jury pools, to be on the jury of your peers.

Judges and politicians who “riot” (mostly peaceful) in proclamation againsts some alleged Big Chill being voter ID -— are ignoring the fact, that if every lawful American citizen, as a lawful resident, is to vote, then the inherent fraud permitted by voting mostly by mail, will FREEZE out the votes of many more people than the very small number who fail at lawfully acquiring a voter ID.

200 years of freedom? What happened to the other forty-four since our nation was founded?

Maybe Kevin Costner was “Dancing with Wolves” during that time.

His role in “No Way Out!” was probably real life for this commy con artist.

The film ends with a surprising plot twist; The following day, Farrell is mourning at Susan’s grave when two plain clothes men arrive and take him away for questioning to a local hotel where another man emerges from behind a two-way mirror.

The interrogator is Farrell’s landlord Mr. Schiller (Michael Shillo). After a few moments, he addresses Farrell in Russian and Farrell responds in kind. Farrell is, in fact, the real “Yuri,” and his landlord is his KGB supervisor and handler. Yuri/Farrell was planted in the U.S.A. as a teenager and became the “mole” in the Department of Defense this whole time.

As the KGB was aware of Brice’s affair, Farrell was assigned to seduce Atwell and gather intelligence from the Secretary of Defense’s mistress. Although his handlers demand that he return to the Soviet Union immediately since his cover was nearly blown, Farrell refuses and leaves. The KGB agents are about to chase after him when Schiller stops them and tells them to let Farrell go for the time being. Schiller quips: “He’ll be back. Where else does he have to go?”

Kevin, I know you believe you are “woke” but I suggest you slow down a bit and think about which way the tide is turning.

The I HATE AMERICA train is speeding toward a bridge that is out. You have bought a ticket to ride that train but perhaps you should get off while you can

What the hell is Costner talking about? He cites nothing specific but whatever he is mouthing off about Trump cannot compare to what the communist democrat party is doing to this country. He wants an addled, demented Joe Biden as President, and a VP Harris whose past is as lurid as that of Biden. The destruction that the financed mobs are doing to this country is far more than spitting on anything. The Costner comments are very low level commie talk. He should enjoy his wealth made from make believe pretending before the commie democrats take it all away from him in the unlikely event they take over this Republic. I would not waste spit on Costner if he was on fire.
