It gave me great pleasure to tune out the Oscars last night

Posted: Feb 27, 2017

Apparently it was a pig's breakfast.

I can't imagine why anyone gives a rip about Hollywood in any shape, form or fashion. I have a neighbor who lives in a fantasy world, writes letters to George Clooney, movie magazines everywhere you look, etc. I don't get it. I mean they're people who dress up and pretend to be someone else, and for some reason believe that their half-baked political and social opinions are just terribly insightful and compelling, dahling! In fact they're neither. They're not even interesting.

That is kind of how - I feel about hearing

It's a great thing - to be able to distinguish

Keep working on it.

What we have is mental midgets on the left throwing tantrums - holding their breath and kicking their feet.

the mental midget is in the white house making a mockery of it and playing to all his fans, his best audience. This is all the right ever says, "the left throwing fits". Whatever makes you feel better I suppose, but there's no tantrums being thrown other than on Trump's twitter and in front of his fans. It's an embarrassment, he's an embarrassment. Those are just facts, not tantrums. Sorry.

I'm not sure about that - sm

because the guy playing president now is downright terrible.

I have decided to BAN him from my house completely. Why would I even want to watch a whiny baby, repetitive liar who spews alternative facts from his own little delusional mind? I told my husband maybe if I ignore him he'll go away. No such luck I know, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Me too - but he keeps

When his press conference was on - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
it was on at the office. People kept turning it off, which of course no one minded, but since it was on during the day I paid no mind to it. UNTIL I read the transcript of it. You think watching it hurt your brain, try reading that mess. OMG, talk about saying a whole lot about nothing and sounding uneducated while doing it. Embarrassing. After that word vomit, I don't know who would want to listen to him ever again.

Funny, that's what I did with Obama for the - past 8 years...

[ In Reply To ..]
BANNED him from my household. Can't stand him. I get it. Do as you must but there is a new sheriff in town and all this whining and bashing and complaining from the liberal left is not going to change it. We suffered through 8 years of Obama. Guess it's your turn to suffer if you consider a president who actually cares about America and making it great again suffering.

Eye roll.

Well I will say yes I cannot tolerate trump - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
and if you think the don is for this country then good for you. He's fooled so many before, so it's probably to be expected. He's only ever been about himself, always has been, always will be. And until I see something that proves he'll "make America great again", then he won't. I won't hold my breath. Eye roll right back at ya along with a SMH.

Let me guess, and you believe Obama was - great for this country...

[ In Reply To ..]
Right? Laugh.

I'll bet you were also one who ran their mouths on this board about how President Trump stood NO CHANCE of winning and just knew Lying Hillary had it in the bag.

"until I see something that proves he'll "make America great again", then he won't."

Obama did everything in his power to destroy this country the past 8 years.

Trump is going to need a little more than the month he has had in office to clean up that heap of a mess the Obama administration left behind, but keep on complaining about nothing. It's what the liberal left do best.

I know it makes you feel better to keep telling yourself Trump will fail. The left is so good at predicting the future, after all, your crystal ball has been so right before. LOL

I have never been - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
on this board until this clown in office was inaugurated. You are entitled to your opinion and I am mine. I will refrain from an immature nasty post such as yours because after reading the rights on this board, I know there is no good conversation to be had, no reasoning and nothing but insults and deflections.

Baloney. Truth is it is hard to have a conversation about - something that hasn't even happened yet.

[ In Reply To ..]
President Trump just got in office, yet all you can do is convince yourself he is going to fail.

Obama on the other hand failed miserably as POTUS.

That's a fact.

I would expect you not to like my replies, but I am hardly being immature and nasty, so don't twist it. You responded with the same eye roll and shaking your head in a reply right back at me, yet that's okay, I'm the one being immature and nasty. LOL There really does seem to be something wrong with the way Liberal Democrats think and why so many say it's a disease.

Well, fortunately for myself, I do have a job and must get back to work now, but do have yourself a nice rest of the day. :)

"Obama on the other hand failed miserably as POTUS. That's a fact."

Um, no. That's an *opinion*. Here, let me show you what an actual fact looks like:

"Under President Obama, the nation experienced 75 straight months of job growth."

It's objective, it's provable, and it's true. See the difference?

"A president who cares about America and making it great again." - And you believe this....why

[ In Reply To ..]
What has Donald Trump ever done for anyone in America? Either personally or politically? Tell me how he has contributed at all to humanity. Tell me how the law suits against him and all the harm that he has done way back to the 70s, and he settled, make him such a caring person. Tell me exactly what "make America great again" means. Again, as in when. What is it that he wants changed that is not self-serving. You are so insulting of other's opinions and adamant that no one is fit to be president except him, why? How does anyone know anything about him except the fake news that he, himself, has spread as to what kind of person he is. Did he actually achieve wealth and fortune by cheating others, not paying taxes, filing bankruptcy so many times. Good for him, but those qualities certainly will not make America great, so how does he plan to do that?

He has done absolutely nothing - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
These rights called the dems and libs a lot of names, A LOT of names, in fact that's all they do, so it's not hard to figure out why they worship him. I haven't known America not to be great, well except for maybe the next 4 years. He's a liar. He's a paranoid conspiracy theorist. The fake news is what comes out of his mouth. I've said it a million times, he creates his own messes. we'll never know about his taxes because, oh yeah, he LIED about releasing them. I want to see them. I want to know who he has ties with and how much he owes. I've also said why am I supposed to feel a man who filed bankruptcy 4 times is able to run a whole country? This is the conversation I WILL NOT HAVE with the rights. They're close minded and in their minds, they're the only ones who are right. We did very well under Obama and her opinion or as she likes to call them "facts" are unimportant to me. These are real concerns and until he starts owning up them among others (the wall Mexico WILL) pay for, I see no reason to think he's going to do anything...none.

Alice Cooper - vet MT

[ In Reply To ..]
All this is why I told everybody I was voting for Alice Cooper for president. You know, he did declare his candidacy as a gag, even had billion dollar bills printed up with him in his Uncle Sam hat on them. It was a HOOT. Let's face it, we had no good choice this past election, but in the main I believe mainstream America has spoken. Most people were disgusted with me about campaigning for Alice, but I didn't lose any friends over it. The soul of tact, that's me :)

Hahaha - Nn

[ In Reply To ..]
Now that is funny! I do agree with you we really had no good candidate, it was kind of a pathetic election. I feel like trump won because those who voted for him are just sick of politicians in general. Doesn't mean I agree with that vote (at all), I just get it. Can't lose friends/family over an election. My own sister voted for trump. Can't disown her lol. She has her reasons for voting him and I understand them. She understands my choice and views. We make fun of each other and laugh. We just decided to not discuss anything political until the next election. It's working for us so far!

Me too, I'm tired of being preached to. - nm

Ha

ever looked up the education of - hollywood and NY soothsayers?

[ In Reply To ..]
Most of them rely on knowledge clouds drifting across the Pacific, perhaps from an Asian mystic who wears lots of colorful beads.

The mystic has brought them deep understanding of economics, governance, military affairs and especially science. It inspires bold words on most topics.

LEONARDO DeCAPRIO’s self-declared climate expertise enables him to speak on the world’s environmental issues with a high-school education. He never took a college biology, chemistry, physics or climatology course, yet he knows more than most scientists. He proved that by addressing climate change before a full gathering of the UN.

SEAN PENN’s quick takes on everything put him at the lofty level of an Einstein. He visited Iraq once and became an expert on that country. The same for Iran. He also became buddies with the brutal Venezuelan communist Hugo Chavez and consistently lauded that murderous thug. Now that Chavez is gone and Venezuelans are raiding dumpsters for food scraps, Penn is having a rare silent moment. Penn deserves some credit for becoming a world-affairs genius based on two years of auto mechanics classes at Santa Monica College.

KATY PERRY’s passion about politics and economics freed her to quit high school at 15 without compromising her expert status. Asked the square root of 64, the name given the Constitution’s first 10 amendments and to explain PE ratio, her answer might be, “Republicans are for the rich.” She recently demonstrated wizardry by making an anti-Trump video. It suggested the new president would commit acts similar to forced World War II lockups of loyal Japanese-Americans. Perry probably did not know the internment plan was developed and executed by DEMOCRAT President Roosevelt.

ROBERT DeNIRO must also be a quick learner. He acquired amazing scientific knowledge before dropping out of high school. He knows so much about geology that he joined Artists Against Fracking. (All the producing wells in his native Manhattan must have provided first-hand experience.) He’s also an expert on pediatric medicine, enabling him to speak often against vaccinating infants and children.

HARRY BELAFONTE is another multiple-subject whiz who needed little formal education. Some people might think this talented singer might limit his words to songs since his IQ is so low. Don’t worry. Despite advancing age, he remains expert on most things. When black people of greater intelligence (that’s most black people) say something moderate or conservative, he hurls the N word at them. Decades ago, he loudly denounced Reagan’s elimination of CETA, the Comprehensive Employment Training Act. It was one of the most wasteful federal programs ever — many vanished dollars, few jobs. Belafonte tore into Reagan during an interview Finally, the interviewer asked Belafonte what CETA stood for. Belafonte had no clue. He knew almost nothing about the act.

ROSIE O’DONNELL was my personal favorite long before her hateful remark that Trump’s 10-year-old son looked autistic. Her coarse philosophy must be that if you say something loudly, it need not be correct. Her bombast probably created lots of turmoil with both the women she “married.” She also must have skipped chemistry during her high-school education. Otherwise, she would have not have offered “proof” that 9/11 was an inside job. She often bellowed that planes could not have brought down the Twin Towers because “steel doesn’t burn.” This constant jackass must not know that high temperatures DO reduce steel’s strength. (However, investigations have shown that this is still a possibility.)

AL SHARPTON would be America’s greatest at-large criminal, if not for Hillary’s tens of millions swapped for influence and favors. Sharpton owes nearly $5 million in delinquent taxes to IRS and New York state. Makes you wonder why NBC/MSNBC would ever hire him. Sharpton accumulated vast theological knowledge by age 9, when he was “ordained” as a preacher. He didn’t need more than a high-school education to keep marching forward. His most successful high school class must have been Shystehood. Despite one scandal after another, his 2004 run for president stands out. The Federal Election Commission forced him to return $100,000 in taxpayer money provided by FEC. One of many abuses was his $145,146 charge for “Campaign letter preparation — Kinko’s.” Later, FEC fined Sharpton $285,000.

JULIA ROBERTS proves that physical beauty does not ensure a beautiful brain. She had a fling at Georgia State University before pursuing acting lessons and joining a modeling group. Her acting and modeling skills guided her to such thoughtful observations as “Republican” comes between “reptile” and “repugnant” in the dictionary. Impressed?

BROOKE SHIELDS, an Obama supporter, verifies the Roberts theory — that physical beauty does not guarantee a beautiful brain. During her days as a boisterous animal-rights supporter, Shields had a mink coat custom-made.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN could have been No. 1 on this list. He squabbled with nuns when in Catholic school. Transferring to a public school, he thought so little of the education experience that he skipped graduation. Had he gone to college, he might have majored in Hate 101. That’s what we hear when he’s not singing. He claims Trump is a “moron” who advocates “white nationalism.” Springsteen demonstrates the analytical skills’ void of most show-biz folk when he laments America’s industrialization decline. Somebody please whisper to Springsteen that his party’s business-crunching regulations and world-leading corporate tax rate compels U.S. manufacturers to go elsewhere.

Finally, two others are outside the entertainment world, disqualifying them from winning an Oscar, Emmy or Grammy. Politicians Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters do compete for the Rock Head of the Year trophy each time they speak Pelosi frequently wins with comments like needing to pass a bill “so we can find out what’s in it.” Waters has already locked up the 2017 trophy for suggesting a Trump impeachment over his campaign antics. Listen closely, Maxine. Presidents can be impeached only for what they do in office. (But the “whole of Congress” believed Nancy?)

Who on earth - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
has the time to post all this nonsense? What a shame you have to discredit people for having different views than you. There is not a thing wrong with any of these that you listed nor does it prove anything at all. And BTW, Waters is by far NOT the only one wanting trump impeached. We're all just sitting back and letting him cook himself, and he's off to a great start. Really, why don't you do a search of your president and see what kind of man he is instead of this irrelevance?

so, do you ever watch movies? TV shows? - hawtmk

Oscars - uniquemonique

[ In Reply To ..]
The Oscars were great! Jimmy Kimmel did an awesome job and yes he did bash Trump which most were expecting, and was he good at it. Trump is so thin skinned it's funny. We have NEVER had a President who comes CLOSE to being as bad as Trump. Rights can say as much as they want about Obama, but he was elected for 2 terms so there's that. Trump has managed to make a fool of himself every single day since before his inauguration but the rights will never admit it. I know a few people who voted for Trump. A few I can honestly say I can't figure it out. Some however, have enough money that they can pay for their own insurance if they have to, and don't have to worry about anything regardless of what Trump does. NO morals as far as I'm concerned.

While I share your lack of interest in the Oscars, and what most actors do when they're not acting, this statement stuck out to me:

"for some reason believe that their half-baked political and social opinions are just terribly insightful and compelling"

I would point out that you're doing exactly what you accuse them of. Namely, spouting half-baked political and social opinions. The only real difference is one of venue. They've got the eyes of the worlds on them, and can help sway the larger public opinion. You (and I, for that matter) on the other hand are just regular folks ranting in a forum on a tiny, relatively unknown website.

Perhaps that's what really galls you? People listen to them, and their opinions can make a difference...
