Hollywood’s Screen of Lies, by Uncola

Meryl Streep gives America yet another reason not to pay attention to Hollywood and its stars. From Uncola at theburningplatform.com:

On Sunday, January 8, 2016, while waiting for the 10PM local news, I surfed through some channels and landed on NBC as the actress Meryl Streep was speaking. It was during the Golden Globes and I caught the tail end of her speech after she won the Cecil B. DeMille Award. This once-in-a-lifetime award is an honor conferred by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment”.

As Streep was speaking, she appeared to have had the entire room entranced, even moving some of the Hollywood stars in the audience to tears. As the cameras panned over the brigade of befuddled, bespectacled, bearded and bare-legged clowns, you could see them overcome by raw emotion before Streep’s heartfelt words. Paradoxically, her delivery was not meant to be comedic. As I watched the scene unfold in complete disbelief, I thought to myself: “This isn’t a parody. It is real. It isn’t an act. It is actually happening”.

Referring to President Elect Donald Trump, Streep said:

It was that moment, when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter; someone he out-ranked 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 in real life.

Apparently, in the minds of movie mogul morons, the country has been taken over by extreme xenophobes, radical racists and blasphemous bigots who wish to deport all those of color as well as the foreign born. Meryl Streep and her fellow actors believe Trump to be a dictator in waiting who enjoys coldly mimicking the handicapped, and racially impure, for no other reason than the profusive and unrestrained hatred in his wicked heart.
