    wow, that is absurd. of course, only the ones that can afford it will push for this. are they going to subsidize all the gaffers, lighting techs, camera guys, grips, etc, who stand to lose their houses from this nonsense?

    like trump gives a flying fuck about hollywood. without them, that's one less group of voices against him.
    I also think conservatives are overly fixated on Hollywood. Yes they make the news a lot, but speaking as progressive, for progressives here. I can tell you that I could care less what any Hollywood star does or says. It doesn't make a difference to me and I would bet it doesn't make a difference to almost every progressive. They are somewhat inflated in their 'influence' but conservatives fall into that trap and react to it like anyone really gives a shit.
    I'm of the belief that Hollywood actors and athletes have just as much right to express themselves as you and I. It's hard to quantify the impact they have.
    Regarding the conservatives fixation on Hollywood, whatever that means, just take a look at the medias reaction to Nicole Kidman when she simply stated after the election 'calm down trumps our president let's support him'. She didn't endorse trump, she made one statement and it was on every celebrity news site and TV show. She was forced to make additional comments and explain herself.

    Take a look at the media reaction to other celebrities that actually supported Trump...Baio, Voight, Busey, TBrady.

    Conversely, look at the media reporting and over-reaction to celebrities that are friendly with Obama, look at Hilliarys star studded fundraisers and campaign talent shows.
    Conservative fixation? Was Hilliary trying to court fixated on Hollywood conservatives?
    You're missing my point. I'm not arguing that they don't have a platform, they shouldn't use the platform OR that the media perpetuates it. It's all true. I'm saying that I don't think that who Clint Eastwood or Matt Damon supports really changes anyone's mind.
    Well most of Hollywood believes that you should listen to them.

    I got a chuckle when they threatened to strike. Oh no, you mean people might actually do things like go outside?
    Of course. Who speaks and doesn't believe someone should listen to them? You type and hope someone reads it. That's just human nature.

    Im not saying they dont have a platform either, I was addressing your belief that conservatives are fixated with hollywood. If thats the case then I would expect conservatives to trot out celebrities when campaigning more often then progressives like Obama and Hilliary. Maybe the lack of celebrity endorsements for conservatives has something to do with it.
    My other point was the treatment by the media by those that support Trump vs Hillary, perfect example being Kidman, who didnt support Trump but simply made a statement.
    Sometimes an athlete, an actor actress, a musician says something that has a positive effect on someone, I believe it was and is the case with PJ.

    Conservatives must care enough to create fake news about a strike.

    Such a seemingly happy 8 year old, hopefully she didn't suffer and her death was quick, hopefully she didn't know what hit her.

    5 deferment don and the drone joystick. Let's hope he doesn't top Obamas high score.

    wow, that is absurd. of course, only the ones that can afford it will push for this. are they going to subsidize all the gaffers, lighting techs, camera guys, grips, etc, who stand to lose their houses from this nonsense?

    like trump gives a flying fuck about hollywood. without them, that's one less group of voices against him.
    I also think conservatives are overly fixated on Hollywood. Yes they make the news a lot, but speaking as progressive, for progressives here. I can tell you that I could care less what any Hollywood star does or says. It doesn't make a difference to me and I would bet it doesn't make a difference to almost every progressive. They are somewhat inflated in their 'influence' but conservatives fall into that trap and react to it like anyone really gives a shit.
    I'm of the belief that Hollywood actors and athletes have just as much right to express themselves as you and I. It's hard to quantify the impact they have.
    Regarding the conservatives fixation on Hollywood, whatever that means, just take a look at the medias reaction to Nicole Kidman when she simply stated after the election 'calm down trumps our president let's support him'. She didn't endorse trump, she made one statement and it was on every celebrity news site and TV show. She was forced to make additional comments and explain herself.

    Take a look at the media reaction to other celebrities that actually supported Trump...Baio, Voight, Busey, TBrady.

    Conversely, look at the media reporting and over-reaction to celebrities that are friendly with Obama, look at Hilliarys star studded fundraisers and campaign talent shows.
    Conservative fixation? Was Hilliary trying to court fixated on Hollywood conservatives?
    You're missing my point. I'm not arguing that they don't have a platform, they shouldn't use the platform OR that the media perpetuates it. It's all true. I'm saying that I don't think that who Clint Eastwood or Matt Damon supports really changes anyone's mind.
    Well most of Hollywood believes that you should listen to them.

    I got a chuckle when they threatened to strike. Oh no, you mean people might actually do things like go outside?
    Be careful about what you hear. That was real Fake News.

    And I just feel that the people in the Entertainment industry who are resisting are citizens who think like I do. Nothing more, nothing less. Other citizens.
    Right. I don't know why people are compelled to crap on people in the entertainment industry for having an opinion and speaking out. Is it jealously about that the fact that they happen to be a position where people actually hear what they have to say or what? Either way, their opinions and worries are just as legitimate as any of yours, any of mine, any of anybody's. And I personally feel that it is everyone's responsibility to speak out for good and justice if they are in a position to do so.
