Looks like the talented actress Meryl Streep has used MMA to attack Donald Trump.

Sounds like she may be outta touch, what do you guys think?


I think she a little crazy, but that long at the top your mind going to go.

I didn't like the analogy either. However, focusing on that one final quip completely misses the point of her speech.

I think people are taking something out of context and got all triggered and butthurt and missed the entire point of her speech.

@bigj

What valid point does she have to make?  She's a ******* Hollyeood actress, not a political pundit or a news reporter.  She is probably one of the least informed people on the planet.  If anyone take an opinion on political issues from someone who gets paid to act as some sort of gospel, you are a vapid idiot as far as I am concerned.  And that extends to both sides of the political spectrum, by the way.

@GreenHornet she was just critisizing the actions of a reality tv star. She simply stated an opinion and her points were.

1. Mocking disabled people is unacceptable
2. Freedom of the press (the first amendment) must be protected
3. America was built on foreign immigration

Overall the speech was about empathy and caring about one another.

@hdmexiqitioner Very true because I will say this if she did know the sport she would know how inclusive it is. Out of the 4 most popular fighters in UFC history three are foreigners and the other is a woman. It is a sport that brings together all races, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, genders, and religions who all compete on equel ground.

That was a very ignorant thing to say on her part. I guess she has no idea that the last PPV card was headlined by a Brazilian lesbian who immigrated to the US.

Also she is known as an actress, who has won many awards, and has made a ton of money making movies for predominantly white Americans. She should look at the diversity of her own career.

@trev mma / modern pankration is the sport of the gods and the only real sport in my mind ( all martial art= only real "sport" for me, excluding running / swimming / endurance based singular sports  etc. Mock mma and you have sealed your contempt and dam nation amongst the hands that feed ( do NOT bite the hand ... that's you oval face Streep)

@bigj

A reality TV star who beat one of the most corrupt and out of touch candidates to run since Nixon.  But I digress...

1.)  He was mocking the reporter for being disengenuous.  Was it crude for a presidential candidate to do? Yes.  Do I approve of it? No.  But there are more important things to focus on with Trump than him making crude jokes and saying non-PC things.  In fact, it was this overbearing focus on language policing that lost the Dems the working class in the general election.

2.) You know damn well he wouldn't get that through. The moment he even attempted to pass a libel law, every single American would call their representative and chew them out to make sure the bill wouldn't pass; just like with how Congress attempted to gut the ethics committee and failed due to the blowback.

3.) Yes, but not ILLEGAL immigration.  Illegal immigration has done nothing but undermine the working class and it has caused a new form of class warfare to emerge.

And she didn't sound empathetic whatsoever. She carries herself like how every single ********* in Hollywood does: disconnected and conceited rich ****s who haven't worked a hard day in their life since they stopped serving tables at Denny's. She doesn't give a **** if the common American living in Ohio or Michigan lose their jobs to another trade deal like NAFTA.  Just as long as we have a token first woman president to keep her ego at ease.  Because herp derp.

Someone forgot to tell her that all Hollywood does is produce crap nowadays...and that MMA is *easily* the most diverse sport in the world. 

She should probably look into what martial arts and football have done for her industry before making offhand comments.

@BigJ, Using her lifetime achievement award platform to whine and virtue signal like an entitled SJW was inappropriate, misguided liberal-bubble ****. Instead of thanking people, she sticks to what she does best, bloviating and *****ing like a snobby, elitist, *****. 

She doesn't even understand her type of attitude is what Trump elected. It should be easy for you to understand what we're saying but it had Anti-Trump rhetoric so you love it.
