Hollywood stars were moved to tears and applauded a speech taking on the Trump administration at the Golden Globe Awards.
Meanwhile, we're not so sure how the statement plays in Kansas City.
Here's a word from Chuck on the topic and a view that is uniquely local . . .
Meryl's Meltdown- My Take On The Golden Globes
A few things were clear, before the Golden Globes last night, Mel Gibson wasn't winning sh*t, Sting was riding dirty and Donald Trump was in for a rhetorical "Rogering" on a national stage.
After a Red Carpet Parade of dresses and gowns that looked like Stix Baer and Fuller rejects (Evan Rachel Wood did look great, but, in a tuxedo.), Jimmy Fallon struggled mightily through a tech-troubled opening that fell as flat as a Brownback budget. The Intro to the show, was a precursor for what we could expect from the "Stars". Basking in their own suns, awash in the usual treacly, quotidian, overwrought explanations and faux surprise at their ascendance to the stage, families and co-workers were thanked as per formula and for some, political commentary superseded the standard requirements.
President Elect Trump has become a personal bete noire for many Hollywood Stars. How could it be otherwise for those who work in a profession that two or three times a year, hand out awards for their efforts to each other in front of millions of people who believe that supercilious Movie Stars are the heroes they portray?
Hugh Laurie and others took their shots, but it was Grand Dame Meryl Streep who (After an into by Viola Davis that elevated sycophancy to Christian virtue.) dedicated her entire speech for winning the DeMille Award to the vilification of President Elect Trump. Streep and other Hollywood Patricians are apoplectic at this modern "Conflict Of The Orders". They plead helplessness and fear at the innate power of the coming Trump Imperium and would have us believe that the press has been speaking truth to power. That the holy triumvirate of the 4th Estate, Hollywood and "Foreigners" is the last bastion standing before the unholy onslaught of the President Elect and his destruction of America.
Meryl claimed she had "hooks sank in her heart" by the President Elect. She apparently didn't feel any hooks in her wallet when everyone lost their Health Plans, Doctors and ponied up for dramatic increases in deductible costs. She said that "Violence incites violence" and I agree. Violence from those who protested outside of Trump Rallies and against Trump supporters is on video, rampant and unceasing as we see from last weeks video of a disabled young man, kidnapped and tortured while his attackers screamed epithets at him and President Elect Trump.
The press, we can infer, from the great lady, was unbiased and objective. This came as no surprise to a room full of Crypto Fascists who would love nothing more than to regulate speech from some Progressive Hive Minded Think Tank off of Hollywood BLVD.
As for "foreigners", the middle class resistance to the government sponsored, irredentist, cultural imperialism of liberal immigration policies might be an affront to those pecuniarily insouciant swells on the stage last night, but it posed and poses a serious threat to our nation in the opinion of the plebs in "flyover" country.
I have to wrap this up with some awards of my own. For "Virtue Signaling" the Golden Globe goes to Tom Hiddleston. He went into the weeds with a personal story of his own heroism, working in the Sudan. He didn't mention, that the reason there is hell on earth in the Sudan and Darfur, is because of the racist Islamic Fundementalist Janjaweed, who are clearing space for living room. Yeah, that's right, "lebensraum". Guess that didn't fit the narrative.
Up next. The Academy Awards.
