One Last Meryl Streep Thought

Once you realize that most of them are petulant, ungrateful children who live in the land of make believe, it's not hard to understand why they do what they do.

Same. Anyone surprised that most of the people in that room despise Donald Trump has been living under a rock. Im surprised she was the only one that gave a speech about it.

A couple of thoughts about this.

First, this is a woman who has been so celebrated and privileged her whole life that the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award is basically meaningless. This is evidenced by her use of limited time to criticize the leadership of someone who hasn't even taken office yet as president, and by her lecturing of the press during that speech. The Hollywood Foreign Press gives the Golden Globes awards. So this is an appalling lack of respect for the Golden Globes, which apparently no one cares to mention.

Second, I'm always astounded by how much credibility people give actors, musical performers, and other artists regarding their political leanings. Most of the time, these are people wholly out of touch with the common man, and whose wealth and power allows them the security of promoting their ideals, publicly. Contrast that with with fast-food worker who gets fired for posting their controversial political idea on Facebook, or the professor who dares say anything that doesn't adhere to the liberal academic playbook. Though Streep is well-educated, she is the exception in the entertainment world. Most performers are very uneducated, and most have little more than a high school degree and/or a few years of college theater training. In short, I'm not going to give a shite what they have to say.

She's a part of the hollywood elite. I don't know of any of them have any shred of common sense. It's why most people ignore what they say.

Can we add reality TV star?

She received a lifetime achievement award, a literally once in a lifetime event,

She wasted it to make a political statement about a snapshot in time.

This is not Marlon Brando sending a Native American to accept an Oscar in the early 70's. The world has SO MUCH media that very little will resonate anymore. Only sincerity does. Not a contrived speech. Especially given by a master class actress. She IS such a good actress she could act through a speech praising Trump and the world would be "WTF??".

Trump calling her "overrated" is where he looks foolish and childish. Can he not find a better person to write his tweets? Would be a shite job with middle of the night phone calls. "In 10 minutes watch the video of Streep's speech and fire off a Tweet bashing her! Make me look good."
