Out of touch and determined to alienate half the country
(Fox News) Ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, some liberal stars were determined to use the 74th annual Golden Globes to have the last word 12 days before Trump is sworn into office.
During a night that saw “Moonlight,” “La La Land,” “The Crown” and “Atlanta” win big it was the next president of the United States that got the most attention.
Just minutes into the show, host Jimmy Fallon used his time on stage to take digs at Trump after he was forced to improvise for the first few minutes of the show due to a broken teleprompter.
Once his script was up and running, Fallon called the Golden Globes “one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote.” That, though, isn’t quite true. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a collection of 85 members, has its own methods of selecting winners.
Oops?
Fallon often used the President-elect as a punchline, even comparing him to belligerent and cruel “Games of Thrones” King Joffrey, but Meryl Streep (video at Mediaite) changed the tone of the evening when she launched into a somber speech about Trump.
Streep said Trump’s behavior “sank its hooks in my heart” and she slammed what she called Trump’s “instinct to humiliate.” She asked for a “principled press to hold Trump [accountable]” and to call him out “for every outrage.” Her comments were met with applause, tears and support by her fellow actors in the audience. Actor Chris Pine called her speech the “best message of tonight.”
Excitable Hugh Laurie (you might remember him from House) is even worried that this could be the last Golden Globes, because Trump. If they wanted half the country to tune out, I’m sure they received their wish. And the more they do this, the more people decide they won’t pay the exorbitant prices to go to the movies.
When asked, Trump said he did not watch the Golden Globes, but dismissed Streep as a big Hillary supporter, nor was he surprised by the attacks from “liberal movie people.”

TrumpelThinSkin better get used to it. He craves admiration and approval but in the real world he can’t get it except from lackeys. We’ve illegitimately “elected” a legitimate douchebag and we all need to accept it, but Il Douche should expect opposition writ large and small at every turn. We have to try and limit the damage that Donnie and the Republicans do until the Dems take the House Nov 2018.
Sorry to have missed her “White Hollywood Privilege Speech”.
Sure would be nice if politics didn’t have to infest everything.
And it just goes to show that those living in Hollywood are just as out of touch as everyone else on the left.
It’s going to be a difficult 4 years. I hope they’re miserable the whole time.
Why Trump got elected, continued.
Must I point out again that Hitler was head of the Socialist Workers Party and therefore a radical leftist which Trump is not? I don’t mind if you call Trump names since he’s a douche but be accurate or you will sound crazy. Trump’s more of a Saddam Hussein type strongman than a Hitler type socialist. For accuracy’s sake.
How’s this: Il Douche.
Hoagie,
Hitler was a Nazi. It was in all the papers and textbooks. I do understand that conservatives wish to rewrite history and describe the Nazis as liberals, but no. Cons now also describe President Lincoln as a conservative and Martin Luther King as a Republican.
Nazis were fascists, white (Aryan) supremacists, nationalists; Hitler actually favored capitalism (which Nazi dogma opposed) and opposed Marxism, although he admired the ruthlessness of Stalin.
What characteristics of Naziism and Hitler do you associate with liberalism? White nationalism defines the new American conservatism.
Has anyone been able to find anything Donald Trump has said to indicate that he is in favor of persecuting Jews?
Perhaps when writing history Jeffery you should look in the mirror:
By the early 1940s, over 500 companies in key German industries had been nationalized, mostly accomplished through the creation of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring in 1937.[4] Multi-national industries in occupied territory were particularly targeted for state ownership, where the Reichswerke absorbed approximately “50 – 60 per cent†of heavy industry in Czech and slightly less in Austria.[5] Göring industrial empire was a major attempt towards “restricting private industrial capitalism and substituting a ‘völkisch’, state-run industrial economy.â€[6]
They(Hitler and the Nazi’s) believed that all economic concerns, being purely material, were unworthy of their consideration. Hitler went as far as to blame all previous German governments since Bismarck of having “subjugated the nation to materialism” by relying more on peaceful economic development than on expansion through war.[12]
For these reasons, the Nazis never had a clearly defined economic programme. The original “Twenty-Five Point Programme” of the party, adopted in 1920, listed several economic demands (including “the abolition of all incomes unearned by work,” “the ruthless confiscation of all war profits,” “the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations,” “profit-sharing in large enterprises,” “extensive development of insurance for old-age,” and “land reform suitable to our national requirements”),[13]
This goes on and on and on………does any of this really sound like RIGHTIES or does it sound like PROGRESSIVES?
It is the left who believes in the addage…..if you say something a billion times it eventually becomes the truth…..the left has tried to pin NAZIism on the right…..when in reality everything about them other then actually starting wars was all about progressivism that swept Europe during the early 20th century.
That’s right. Barack Obama’s hero, Abraham Lincoln, was a Republican. Lincoln wasn’t just any ole Republican either. He was among the founders of the Republican Party and was the first Republican to be elected President.
Now I once had a major debate with the nitwits over at the Moderate voice about how every century or so the parties actually flip flop on their political stances.
Teddy Roosevelt…..a Republican ran on a PROGRESSIVE AGENDA………FDR so enamored by the Progressive movement in the world actually adopted Teddy Roosevelts (Bull Moose PLATFORM and made it his own….the Democratic party embraced it and as a result because of politics which demands that the other side oppose anything the other side does or says………..
Well as you can see the party of Lincoln became the Democratic party and the Republicans became the Democratic party empowered by the Great Depression.
However having said that does that mean that Byrd……the late Democratic Senator of some 50 years who led the fight against the Civil Rights bill…..does HE DEFINE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY…..Or does that make him a Republican..
No Byrd was a Democrat…….Lincoln was a Republican……But as with all things….things change….Right now you are witnessing the changing of the guard yet again…..as the GOP and the Democrats are flip flopping on major issues.
IE….the right is becoming obsessed with deficits….something the left abhorred during Reagan/Carter era. The democrats are becoming obsessed with taking care of the military……IE pay raises, social benefits….etc…etc…..the Right is obsessed with budget cuts and Isolationism after GWB took us on a 12 year war. The Democrats were isolationists….the GOP was nation builders….now the left is looking to help nations build…..just in differing ways….IRAN, EU etc…etc……The Right wants no part of this…….The LEFT USED TO BE PROTECTIVE of Immigration because of UNIONS….now the left wants free borders and even told the UNIONS to shut up when they wanted the pipeline……..Trump promised to help the Unions and help with immigration……..I mean the list of flip flopping goes on and on and on…….
So as the world turns the left and the right are starting to flip flop on their ideals. In 20 years the GOP might actually look a lot like the Democratic party of JFK……Thats why so many angry CONS call the GOP DEM LITES………its actually based in historical context.
Jeffery, nationalism is another word for patriotism. Nationalism merely means putting your country first before all others. The opposite of globalism. Aren’t you a nationalist? Don’t you put our needs above the needs of India or Jordan?
Hitler was not a fascist, he was a socialist. In his own words:
You can have your own opinions but not your own facts, Jeffery. And when you state:
You are categorically incorrect. Conservatives don’t want to “re-write” anything and they don’t portray the Nazi’s as liberals. Nazi’s are Leftists, not liberals. Cons do “now” describe President Lincoln as “conservative” because he was. What would you call a politician who wishes to conserve the Union from dissolving and thereby conserve the Republic? I would call someone who “conserves” a conservative. Lincoln was also a nationalist, white, straight, a man and a Christian. Obviously no liberal by today’s standards. And MLK was a card carrying Republican all his life as was Booker T Washington. A simple Google search will settle that.
Hoagie,
Historians disagree with you concerning Naziism. It’s described as a right wing movement.
Mr. Lincoln strove to preserve the union but was no conservative regarding slavery. He didn’t wish to conserve slavery, did he? And liberals also wished to preserve the union, making them conservatives??. Conservative Southern Dems wished to secede so they could continue to practice the enslavement of other humans as part of their cultural and economic system. And Lincoln invoked Federal power to usurp the rights of the states, and enacted the first Federal income tax to support it! Some conservative!
You didn’t supply any evidence that MLK Jr. was a lifelong Republican. He stated repeatedly that he didn’t support either party. It’s a Republican falsehood. The FBI swore he was communist! And sure hated Goldwater ’64.
No I am not a nationalist. I do not feel Americans are inherently superior to citizens of other nations. I am a patriot – this is my home – and our ideals as a nation are largely admirable. The nationalism of Nazis, much like the nationalism of the US alt-right now, was steeped in racial superiority. Knowing how conservatives like to play simple semantic games, you must appreciate that the first two letters of Nazi are derived from National!
Historians disagree with you concerning Naziism. It’s described as a right wing movement.
In European Politics Right wing means Liberal….its pretty much the opposite of what it means in America…..
Secondly if Historians are writing anything in the last 100 years I would be very suspect of them……….
The intellectual elites of this nation are dominated by the progressive liberal left who likes to define history in their own terms…….
Now certainly the progressive left which very closely mirrors the concepts of Nazism other then perhaps…..mass murder of the jews……..
But wait…….FDR was chomping at the Bit to get into WW2 and to this day progressive hate Israel and Jews…..
Everything about Nazi Germany screams Progressive…….and people saying something else does not alter the facts of what the Germans were actually like Historically.
Laim,
In the new conservatism, up is down, black is white and in is out. No evidence or data can be trusted. Newt Gingrich, famously described as “what a dumb guy thinks a smart guy sounds like” did presciently point out that the battle would be over “the truth”, packaging your “propaganda” better than the other guy.
Don’t like the historians conclusions? Toss ’em out! Don’t like global warming data? Accuse the scientists of making up the data!
The Nazis were first and foremost Aryan nationalists and purged their lands of
MuslimsRomani, Jews, gays, Slavs, Poles…Liberals do not hate Jews and Israel, but do attempt to hold Israel to international standards.
Jeffery, we need to understand the truth. I quoted Adolf Hitler on what and who he and his party is and you reply: “Historians disagree with you concerning Nazism. It’s described as a right wing movement”. Are you really telling me “historians” know more about Nazi’s than Hitler? Really? If you cannot admit you are wrong even when faced with the words of the head Nazi what truth can you really know? And if a “historian” claims that a self-described anti-capitalist socialist is a conservative are you really going to ever listen to that idiot again? I hope not.
Yes, they do. They stand for “National” NOT nationalist! Just like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Or are they conservative Nazi’s too?
I think I see where your problem is here. You seem to think “Aryan” is a nation, a religion, a lifestyle or a country. It is not. Aryan is a RACE. Therefore Nazi’s were racists, not nationalists. They were also closely allied to the moslem world and Hitler was a friend of Haj Amin al-Husseini. Nazi’s and moslems have been close historically which may explain why leftists today choose moslems over Christians.
So remind me again which president of the USA partook in Ethnic Cleansing? Or rounding up ethnic minorities in this country? How many Jews, Muslims Gays, Hispanics, Slavs, poles, Greeks, Chinese, gays, lesbians, transgenders have we rounded up and put in ovens….or shot, or put in concentration camps………
Oh wait that would be FDR and the Rounding up of Germans and Japanese American Citizens to which we were at war with……..
It is always nice to make your own version of history match your preconceived notions of how things really are……
You can believe what you want…..But to compare the right in America to Nazis is retarded…..Should we compare all cop killing Black Lives matter blacks to all progressives….
Because some kill cops, because illegals kill people does that mean that all Democrats are murdering thugs…….
Blacks or Hispanics are not prejudiced? Only Whites…..
The right in this country are Aryans? If that is so then the Left are cop killing, Hispanic lovers who want to assimilate the USA and take it over because they feel as if the USA stole part of the USA from Mexico.
I mean fair is fair……If Im an Aryan then you are a cop killing racist.
BTW, Jeffery you made this statement which confuses me:
As I see it a nationalist (by definition) is one who “puts his country first in the international arena” and a patriot (by definition) “vigorously supports his country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors“. If you do not feel Americans are inherently superior to other nations and their citizens vigorously support and defend America against enemies? Wouldn’t you be fighting for us to be more just like them? That makes no sense. Nobody fights to be more “average”. Of we are not “inherently superior” why are people from all over the world killing to get here? To join us average American assholes?
Saying the “this is my home” does not make one a patriot. Loving your country does. And being willing to fight anyone who tries to change it from it’s Foundations and turn it into another country does. Putting your country’s uniform on and going where she sends you to fight her enemies does. But one thing a patriot will not do is say his country is not “inherently superior” to all others. Nobody loves or fights for an inferior country or even one “inherently” equal to say, Peru.
So when you say “I am a patriot – this is my home” what you’re really saying is “I am a citizen – this is my home and I will let the patriots fight and die for her because she is no better than the rest and after all, our ideals as a nation are largely admirable. Not great ideals, just largely admirable.
I’m not trying to pick a fight but even your patriotism has an air of condescension to it. “Largely admirable”, indeed.
See if you can pick out the patriots from the ones who think America is “largely admirable”.

Hoagie,
Always remember that little jeffy guy lied about serving in the Army and he is no patriot.
Hoagie,
I was never one to denigrate the service of soldiers in Vietnam, but who were you defending America against? I also did not criticize those who refused to fight in this war of choice.
If your definition of a patriot is limited to only those who have served in the US armed forces than 99% of Americans are not patriots.
And who is trying to change America from its foundations? Mexicans? Muslims? Blacks?
The little guy not only lied about serving in the Army during the Vietnam War but don’t forget he praised the fatal shootings of 5 policemen in Dallas last year.
I apologize Jeffery, if you took me to mean one had to be in the service to be a patriot. I can see how you arrived at that opinion since my comment:
was obtuse. Certainly not only soldiers are patriots. But if you cannot honestly answer your own question: “And who is trying to change America from its foundations? Mexicans? Muslims? Blacks?” you may have a problem identifying true patriots. America’s foundation is primarily Western Civilization which itself is primarily white and primarily Christian, not 100% but primarily. It is because of that we will welcome others to JOIN us, not try to change us. So regardless of what race or religion you are or what country you were born in, even in America itself, if you are trying to change the cultural demographic of America you would be America’s enemy. So if you want to “fundamentally transform” America into something America is not you are an enemy. Patriots love America not desire to fundamentally change her because there is nothing fundamentally wrong with her to change.
And who is trying to change America from its foundations? Mexicans? Muslims? Blacks?

By allowing our attention to be focused exclusively on the danger and prevention of terrorism, we ignore the many other ways we are being attacked.

Black Separatist
Black separatists typically oppose integration and racial intermarriage, and they want separate institutions — or even a separate nation — for blacks. Most forms of black separatism are strongly anti-white and anti-Semitic, and a number of religious versions assert that blacks are the Biblical “chosen people” of God.

So YEAH…for every group you portend that is against your open borders, homophobic Nationalists……there are equal numbers of Foreign influences trying to bring America to her knees……….
To answer your question Jeffery…..there are plenty of enemies of the USA within our own borders….And YES………Mexicans? Muslims? Blacks?
I know you get it , Liam, but it is significantly more difficult to explain to a person who believes I’m a racist because I don’t want moslems cutting off heads in Peoria. Even though Islam isn’t a race and terrorism isn’t lawful political free speech we are supposed to afford the practitioners of the same respect we do Quakers.
I can’t really blame Jeffery as I’m not sure he was ever exposed to anyone personally who was not a card carrying leftist. But if one opens his eyes to the areas controlled by said leftists for any period of time the facts are self evident.

Its classic soviet doctrine….deny pushback. Once you deny the one thing that Americans have always relied on…..National pride……then they have nothing to fall back on….
Therefore the idea is to prevent Americans of being proud of what America IS and instead replace what America was with their new vision of what America should be…….
With no push back….the task of defending ones position is very hard….this was a soviet Doctrine outlined by the head KGB station chief who defected in the 70’s and revealed the psychologial warfare the USSR had put in place to destroy America from within.
And do you agree we should strike the inscription from the Statue of Liberty as outdated and outmoded?
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
