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."

I used to get worked up about these celebrities making asses out of themselves. But when you think about it, actors are the least important people in the country. They are mostly attractive idiots that speak words put in their mouths by others so they make perfect NPCs ready to spout the party line while thinking they are profound thinkers.

To borrow (and adjust) some Shakespeare, 'They are tales told by idiot actors, full of sound and fury signifying nothing'

"History will judge you," he said. "When you look back at [Joseph] McCarthy, ...”

Speaking of judgment ... thanks, Kevin, for opening your mouth and putting such a stain on your work for me now, in my ever so humble opinion, of course.

McCarthy was not wrong.

Those Hollywood riots and street fighting with the communist studios at the end of WWII did happen and the socialist indoctrination today is real.

And as a result of all of that socialist programming, we now need to worry a LOT more about God’s coming Judgment for US than anything history might say.

His are the only judgments history will ultimately remember anyway, since His Judgments are eternal.

Actors are almost universally stupid.

Many are too stupid to form complete sentences, so they got a job where other people write complete sentences for them.

High pitched vocals set my tinnitus in motion. Whitney Houston’s voice to me on any song is similar to nails on a chalk board. I hear these songs in hotel lobbies (when I traveled), supermarkets, etc. Public places. It can be irritating to the point of frustration.

Rule of thumb.....assume they are libtards until strongly proven otherwise. The number of actors on our side is generally miniscule and if they are active they better remain silent if they want their career to continue.
