Dave Portnoy slams George Clooney in expletive-laden rant for calling on Joe Biden to step down - and fumes at Hollywood star for 'only just finding out the President is a vegetable'
Daily Mail ^ | 7/10/24 | Ben Nagle

Posted on 07/11/2024 2:58:24 AM PDT by Libloather

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy launched into a furious tirade at George Clooney on Wednesday, after the Hollywood A-lister U-turned on Joe Biden and called for him to pull out of the presidential race.

Clooney's op-ed in the New York Times stunned the world, as he asked Biden, 81, to step down just three weeks after hosting a record-breaking $28 million fundraiser for the president on June 16.

Portnoy was quick to give his thoughts on the incredible turn of events, taking to X to give his scathing take.

'What a f****** hero this guy is,' he says of Clooney, who claimed in his piece that the President 'was not the Joe "big f-ing deal" Biden of 2010' when they met last month.

'So what, George?' Portnoy continued. 'If he didn't do the debate and wasn't a vegetable, you were just going to keep your mouth shut?

'And by the way, if you just found out Biden is a vegetable, where have you been for two years? Everyone knows he's a vegetable.

'The guy can't get on and off a stage without getting lost, he talks about dead people like he had lunch with them yesterday. He can't f****** ride his bike without falling down. He can't get up and down f****** Air Force One without taking a tumble.

It’s been said that Obama had been grooming Clooney to be POTUS.

I have not heard this.

Has Clooney written anything suggesting he has significant political acumen?

If certain powerful people care, it could be a problem.

“There’s a lot of political newbies around, so some background is needed first. Most people don’t know but, George Clooney was being groomed by the same people who groomed Barack Obama, for the purposes of replacing him at a later date. Yes, Clooney was being groomed to be a POTUS.”

I’m not a prude ...or maybe I’m turning into one as I get older, but can’t people talk without using the f-word? Is it still possible to get your point across with plain English?

I blame The Sopranos for their incessant use of the F Bomb. I'm no prude, but I don't like it either. My boss and his assistant use it constantly, which opened the door for a female coworker to join right in.

I suppose that means I'm an old fuddy duddy.

Don’t know. He doesn’t need to. He has “people”. See posts 20 and 22.

Clooney knew - he just lied about Biden being fine. ALL the democrats LIED for Biden until the ‘debate’ that outed Biden and outed the liars backing him.

Long before The Sopranos I supported a city construction crew (1970s). This was their language 24/7. F bomb doesn’t bother me much. Taking the Lord’s name in vain ... unacceptable.

The "f-word" today is tantamount to the way the British utilize the word "bloody".

The (insert f-word) Republic is disintegrating before our eyes and you're (insert f-word) clutching pearls over a (insert f-word) word??

Ocean’s 46.

He con’s people out of $30 million and gives it to his buddy to split up among the thieves.

Soon to be released on Netflix by Higher Ground Productions.

As an aside, I don’t know if the sketches on your home page are your work, but they are wonderful. Great talent. And a lot of fun to admire.;-)

I am a former infantry soldier, and have worked around construction workers and the trades my whole life. I’m no prude by any means either.
And I agree with you 100%. I attribute it to a loss of morality and the dumbing down of our entire culture. It sickens me.

As Clooney ages with his Hizbollah wife (even though she is a Maronite Christian and not a Shiite Muslim), he seems to be more and more radicalized. Perhaps he and Obama have had a fling or two?

Clooney is so owned by the political left. I wonder if they have pictures of him at Epstein Island.

but can’t people talk without using the f-word?

That ended about 5-10 years ago. 25 year old girls use it the most.

The filthy rich Clooneys threw a hissy fit when had to drive past a homeless camp on the way from the airport to their $107 million dollar lakeside Italian villa.

Thank you :) Yeah, they’re mine. I used to post everything on my FR page, but I moved most of it over to Instagram so I could share with more people and not have politics get in the way.

Absolutely. The words may get attention, but I think less of the person using them.
