I have made sure the batteries down in the Tweetstorm cellar are fully charged. I estimate Category 5 by 4am at the latest.

Meryl Streep received the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, and slammed Donald Trump's "performance" in her acceptance speech.
"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick us all out, youll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts," she said, tearfully and with a faint voice, upon accepting the career-spanning honor.
She echoed Hugh Laurie's comment about how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is part of "the most vilified segments in American society right now" Hollywood, foreigners and the press. "But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? Its just a bunch of people from other places," she explained, outlining her New Jersey upbringing, plus the non-Los Angeles backgrounds of Sarah Paulson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Amy Adams, Natalie Portman, Ruth Negga, Viola Davis, Dev Patel and Ryan Reynolds. "Where are their birth certificates?"
Streep then noted that one "performance" stood out this year: that of Donald Trump when he mocked a disabled reporter at a rally. "There was nothing good about it, but it did its job," she said. "It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can't get it out my head because it wasnt in a movie, it was in real life. That instinct to humiliate when its modeled by someone in a public platform, it filters down into everyones life because it gives permission for others to do the same."
"Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence," she continued. After calling for the press to stand up to Trump, Streep concluded her speech by quoting Carrie Fisher: "Take your broken heart, make it into art."
Viola Davis presented the honor to the prolific actress has won eight Golden Globes and collected 29 nominations. "Her artistry reminds us of the impact of what it means to be an artist, which is to make us feel less alone," she told her Doubt co-star. "You make me proud to be an artist. You make me feel that what I have in me my body, my face, my age is enough."

And Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson can go f themselves.

See if you can guess his line of attack:
I say it will be," She's bad actress and her films are overrated."

imitation. Trump undoubtedly was not amused.

(17,276 posts)This is a Trump word. He has started calling a lot of things, "sad" along with other terms out of his limited vocabulary. Please let's not catch the meme and start using it for everything. Please?
Other words used very often: "disaster", "disgrace", "terrific", "tremendous". If you think of any more, please add. It can creep into the unconscious and before we know it, we are all talking like that.

Vocabulary of a ten year old.

(3 posts)I find it bizarre that people get pissed because Meryl Streep dared to champion kindness, empathy & freedom of the press. If TrumPutin weren't such a cretinous fuck, there'd be no reason for commentary by people like her. Whatever. TrumPutin supporters can go hang. Way to go Meryl Streep! The ridiculous response on social media merely shows how cancerous are TrumPutin supporters.

(61,899 posts)As surely as night follows day, Trump responds on Twitter.
Aside from waiting until 7 A.M., he was totally predictable.
Even the insults are recycled.
