Barbra Streisand blasts Donald Trump: 'I completely agree with Meryl'
Entertainment Weekly/MSN ^ | January 10, 2017 | Oliver Gettell

Posted on 01/10/2017 9:27:58 AM PST by Zakeet

Barbra Streisand is standing with Meryl Streep, who used her acceptance speech at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards to criticize Donald Trump for lacking empathy and infamously mocking a disabled reporter in 2015.

A day after Streep delivered her blistering rebuke of the president-elect, Streisand called in to Hardball With Chris Matthews and expressed her solidarity. I thought that [Streep] said what she said beautifully, Streisand remarked.

Regarding Trump's ridiculing of journalist Serge F. Kovaleski 14 months ago, Streisand added, I completely agree with Meryl. It was a heartbreaking moment and so beneath the dignity of the presidency, let alone any respectful person. What we need more in this world is kindness and common decency, and what he did and how he reacts, and how he has the need to talk back and insult anybody who doesn't agree with him, that's pretty disgraceful.

Haven’t heard that in ages.

Second Hand Nose by Allen Sherman.

Just think, Streisand was being mocked in 1966...fifty years of douchebaggery.

Never change Babs.

(from the Gibson/Vaughn article below)
“While most of Hollywood and the press were smitten by Streep, calling the speech “powerful” and “brave,”

The bug smashed into the car’s grill at 70 mph, and all the other grasshoppers and june bugs chirped, “It took a lot of guts to do that.”

In other current news, the sun will rise in the East tomorrow! Barbra Streisand is, however, still full of ‘BS’!

74 years old and fading fast.

AMAZINGLY, she is far uglier on the Inside than the OUTSIDE.

My 30 year old kids have NO idea who she even is. She might as well be a senior citizen greeter at WalMart.

Translation: Look at me, too! I am still important.

We need to deny these attention addicts their drug of choice. Just ignore them.

“Dear Hollywood celebrities,
You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it.

You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6 year old. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too.

Your entire existence depends on my patronage.

I’ll crank the organ; you dance.

I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.

I don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I bet you looked cute saying it.

And you? Really? I’m supposed to care what the director of fluffy tripe made for gullible people thinks about global warming or gun control? Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny.

Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment

So, shut your pie hole and dance!”

minus the pre-performance makeup including the applique “face lifters that are anchored in the scalp. See-— hitlery at the DNC balloon drop.... all is possible in Bolshevia with... makeup.

She, at least with a “pitch corrector” on the sound board... can still sing. babs thinks she’s an actress, despite all indications to the contrary, and meryl only rarely exhibited the same thing- but insisted on singing (Mama Mia-— good lord).

I just don’t understand why the opinions of these “stars” are news. Who the h3ll cares what these tools think or believe! Why do we keep seeing these stories? Why do they trump (pun intended) other news stories that are clearly more important!

Dear Babs,

Is insulting someone worse than throwing people in Jail? Whatever happened to the guy that made the youtube video that Hillary claimed caused Benghazi.....
