What? There is a time and place for that. No one wants to hear about politics during the golden globes.. At least I don't think. I don't really watch it, but if she has something to say, take to social media.. Not waste everyone else's time as if what she had to say was sooo important.

I disagreed with pretty much everything Streep said, But part of Free speech is that is that apart from causing a dangerous situation as stated by Schenck v. United States( yelling fire in a crowded theater) you cannot only not limit the what but the where and how and the why.

She was receiving a lifetime award, I think thats as good a time as any to make your statement.

I flipped the channel when she started on her diatribe
that was me exercising my rights

and I cannot think of one Streep movie Ive seen all the way through so I wont miss out by not watching the rest of them

Your venue is social media. Hers is a little bigger and higher profile. You come across as not only glaringly hypocritical by indulging in the same "opinion sharing" as her but also as a whiny bitch because your soapbox is not as widely seen as hers. Boo fricking hoo.

Golden globes are the perfect venue for sanctimonious, bubble dwelling political rants.
