Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes Speech
Turning attention away from her and toward Donald J. Trump, Meryl Streep used her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes to call out the president-elect for mocking a disabled New York Times reporter in 2015, and warned that a free press would need to be defended. Ms. Streep campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
Partial text of her remarks:
...But there was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can’t get it out of my head, because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life. And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose. O.K., go on with it.
O.K., this brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call him on the carpet for every outrage. That’s why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in the Constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the Committee to Protect Journalists, because we’re gonna need them going forward, and they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.
One more thing: Once, when I was standing around on the set one day, whining about something — you know we were gonna work through supper or the long hours or whatever, Tommy Lee Jones said to me, “Isn’t it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor?” Yeah, it is, and we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight....
It's the artists that are the first to warn us about tyrants.

oh FFS Meryl Streep, go save Africa children if you are bored with your life
they all supported Obama who wasn't afraid to kill women and children with his drones attack, so what does it say really about them ?Originally Posted by Humbert
People like Meryl Steep, who confuse us wanting to see them act from us giving a rats ass about their lame politics, are part of the reason why Donald Trump got elected.
And now the lefty libtards are going off on about how scary and delicate China is,

What a bunch of ridiculous fearmongering bullshit.
Fuck China, they'll collapse under their own weight.
If they wanna do business then stfu and talk business. That would be Trump foreign trade policy.
Trump should bring back business from China where possible. China's gotten a free ride for far too long.

Clearly Meryl Streep thinks she is, standing up there barfing up all her opinions like anyone gives a fuck.
