No snakes on Hillary's Plane. Samuel L Jackson supports Hillary...

Samuel L. Jackson: Sanders ‘can’t win’

“I’m forever a Democrat, you know, and I’m gonna vote for Hillary,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I mean, I love Bernie — Bernie’s a man of the people — but he can’t win,” Jackson continued. "So I gotta cast my vote for a person that can keep those other people from winning, okay?"

Jackson argued that Clinton’s past political experience gives her a significant edge over other White House hopefuls from both parties.

“Hillary kind of knows the job — she can hit the ground running,” the movie star said of the Democratic presidential front-runner. "She doesn’t have a huge learning curve like [President Obama] had or some other people had.”

“Hopefully she can open up the skeletal files on these do-nothing assholes that go to work like four times a year and not vote on things and threaten them with whatever she and [former President Bill Clinton] uncovered on them years ago and make them do something and we can get something done.”

“The Hateful Eight” star admitted he is disappointed in his occasional golfing partner Donald Trump’s Republican White House run.

“[Trump is running on] hate,” Jackson said of the GOP front-runner. "There’s absolutely nothing I can do."

“There are some other people that aren’t as open about what he’s saying that are running also, you know, that are just as crazy,” the performer said of the GOP’s 2016 field.

“[They] have just as much ill-will toward the common man — and not just the common black man. People who don’t have a certain amount of money don’t mean anything to them.”

Not sure how much these celebrity endorsements matter but it came up on my fb feed, so thought I'd share.

1. K&R.

The script is messed up each time I click your op. Not a computer gal so I'm not sure if that is the right term. The page just looks really strange.

[one_voice]

2. Thanks. it should be fixed now. n/t

[NCTraveler]

4. Awesome. Here is another kick. Wish I could rec commend again. nt.

[Tommy2Tone]

3. K & R

5. champagne all around!

[Scuba]

6. Sam, Meatloaf, Kid Rock, The Nuge - political geniuses.

[bigtree]

8. "Bernie Sanders...you're our only hope Obi-Wan Kenobi."

9. I'm like 76% certain Nugent hasn't endorsed Hillary

[NuclearDem]

12. One of these things doesn't belong here.

[Scuba]

13. Yeah, one guy is black. But they all made a bad choice.

[NuclearDem]

16. Guess again.

Hint: Kid Rock, Meat Loaf, and Ted Nugent are very vocal Republicans.

[one_voice]

14. Why the nastiness?

I'm pretty sure the nuge isn't supporting Hillary.

How do you know the depth of Sam's political knowledge? and someone has to be a political genius to say who they support? Interesting. Should they own land too?

[RandySF]

30. Show me a link

That says Hillary was endorsed by the others.

[JunkyardAngel83]

35. WTF do Republican assholes have to do with Samuel L. Jackson?

Shame on you. Just because SLJ isn't supporting Bernie doesn't mean he deserves to be lumped in with the likes of Ted Nugent.

[Scuba]

37. They all endorsed a conservative.

[CorporatistNation]

47. AGREED!

I will defer comment as this is a long campaign and i'll take Killer Mike over SLJ and His Capitol One Commercials anytime...

Capitol One... Think Sammy Might have some... ties to Wall Street... Ya Think?

Give pause and think... Sammy might not quite have been his own man on this one....

[Scootaloo]

7. Love to hear from you again in a few motherfuckin' months, Sam

Seriously, my nerd dream is to get together with him, Wil Wheaton, and Vin Diesel to play a night of D&D DM'd by Chris Perkins.

[one_voice]

10. I think if Bernie is elected President...

My guess is Sam will be happy based on this:

“I’m forever a Democrat, you know, and I’m gonna vote for Hillary,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I mean, I love Bernie — Bernie’s a man of the people

[Scootaloo]

11. Well, that and his endorsement comes off the "Bernie Can't Win™" bandwagon

It's a ridiculous argument, but hey, whatever. Look forward to chucking some D20's.

[NuclearDem]

21. I can't be the only one who had a good laugh at the idea of Vin Diesel playing D&D.

[Codeine]

38. Believe it or not he really does.

Wrote an intro piece to one of the books, even.

[NuclearDem]

40. Certainly didn't see that coming.

Well, learn something new everyday.

[Scootaloo]

41. Here ya go

[MohRokTah]

15. "Get these motherfucking Socialists out of this motherfucking party!"

[Lucky Luciano]

18. Dude, why don't you just go and be a republican? nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Depending on one's definition of socialism a certain amount of it is good.

-Universal health care
-Unemployment insurance
-Assistance for poor and working class people.

Using the wealth that capitalism creates to ameliorate social ills is a laudable goal. It's the best of worlds. I am a socialist-capitalist.

[MohRokTah]

20. I use the standard definition from Marx and Engels.

Government control of the means of production.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. I like Marx and Engels' work but I also like choice.

I don't want to shop at the government store however I have no problem with public ownership of those parts of the economy where monopolies are unavoidable like water and power.

[MohRokTah]

24. As is the case for our capitalistic society.

Regulated private ownership of the means of production with government provided services in the commons.

It's older than our nation.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. I prefer to think and say we have a mixed economy.

I don't want to confine myself by saying I am a socialist or capitalist.

[MohRokTah]

27. I prefer to think of our economy as capitalistic.

It's more accurate and it throws socialism in the dust bin of history where it belongs.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Unregulated capitalism would have ended there too if not for FDR who saved it from itself.

I know there are right wing critics that suggest the economy would have healed itself but what they ignore is that the people weren't willing to wait to test that theory.

[MohRokTah]

29. Private ownership of business must always be regulated.

Otherwise, we'd have an anarchy of corporations.

[NurseJackie]

17. Celeb endorsements are fun!

Especially when they support my candidate and when it's a celebrity that I know and like. (I mean, come on! Who doesn't know who Samuel L Jackson is?!)

<3

[wyldwolf]

22. I'm sure Jackson will be recruiting Sanders for the Avengers Initiative

or...

After Hillary destroys the GOP nominee...

"Mr. Jackson, did Donald Trump deserve to lose?"

YEAH HE DESERVED TO LOSE AND I HOPE HE BURNS IN HAAAIL!

[JunkyardAngel83]

36. LOL

[ismnotwasm]

26. K&R

[Laffy Kat]

31. Well, I suport Bernie, but...

Love me some Samuel L.

[riversedge]

33. K and R-

[tularetom]

34. Judging by his remarks, Mr. L Jackson would be in for a big disappointment if Hillary were elected

Since that isn't going to happen anyway, his opinion is at best, irrelevant.

[ronnykmarshall]

43. So why do you give a fuck?

[tularetom]

44. What did you glean from my post that gave you the faintest clue I possibly might?

Give a fuck, that is.

[ronnykmarshall]

45. Honey you're the one that posted in the thread

and have a bug up your butt about it.

[oasis]

39. "Check the big brain on Hillary".

[ronnykmarshall]

42. UNDER THE BUS WITH YE!!

Samuel L Jackson is a/an *Insert predictable insult here*

[postatomic]

46. Recently watched 'Kingsman - The Secret Service'

He played an evil guy that would get sick at the sight of blood. One of those fun mindless movies.

I'm with you. Not sure what celebrity endorsements do for candidates, but I like what he has to say in your link.
