I defer to Cher. I couldn't say it better . . . . (hint: Trump)
Cher just RIPPED Donald Trump in front of 200,000 people -- calling the man a boob-chasing idiot and a "pompous a**hole" ... on her Twitter account.

-snip-


Cher didn't stop there -- blasting off another tweet immediately after: "Donald Trump ( mr chapter11) is Only a Mean Spirited BAD ACTOR who couldn't find his ass with both hands & a map!"

Cher's attack comes in the wake of Trump taking credit for forcing the White House to release Obama's birth certificate. FYI -- Cher is a very outspoken Obama supporter.

3. Perfect description...
Trump perfectly captures the spirit of selfishness, greed, meanness and cruelty; perfect for the teabaggers!

5. FYI...
Cher supported HRC in the primary....she felt that Obama was another 'One-term Carter who doesn't know how to fight.'

Of course Cher and I are old enough to remember what happened when Carter was around. Hopefully, there aren't any B-rated actors who are/were Governors and Repugnant today.

6. Cher has major credibility unlike most creatures of hollywood
Just my opinion...

But as a devoted Washington Journal fan I caught her calling in one morning. She was talking about aid for the troops-at the time they didn't identify callers. But the host recognized her I guess-asked,is this Cher?...

Turned out it was & then he talked to her about her work in operation helmet.

She genuinely wanted to help our troops to get decent equipment. She did not try to play on her cel;ebrity. And her facts were dead on.

She's the real M'deal...

9. I remember that...she hemmed and hawed as she was trying not to make
a big deal out her...it was the cause that counted.

Once Cher found herself, she became a powerhouse; she does not take to fools lightly...and Trump is one hell of a fool.

20. Here's a transcript of the call...
Peter Slen, C-Span Moderator: Good Morning Miami Beach

caller: good morning! thank you for c-span, i watch it every day!
uh, i would like to say i had the occasion the other day to spend the entire day with troops that had come back from iraq & had been wounded &..um...i also visited troops during the vietnam era...but the thing that i was most shocked by...um...as i walked into the hospital the first person i ran into was a boy about 19 or 20 years old who'd lost both of his arms...& when i walked into the hosptial & visited all these boys all day long...uh...everyone had lost either one arm...one limb or two limbs or had lost one limb & there were...there were a lot of legs that seemed to be missing & a couple of the boys told me it was because that their vehicles ...that the rockets pierce the vehicles so much its like being kind of in a tin can...it doesnt have...there isnt...the walls of the humvees are very soft & theres no protection...but three guys in the same vehicle have lost a leg.
...& another thing that i saw was that...um...if theyd lost one leg that... that shrapnel that had hit the other leg had been so devatating that they were having to pull like the thigh...you know...the muscle & the thigh around the bottom of the calf to try to make the leg workable but in some cases these boys had lost one leg & the other leg was so damaged that they werent sure what they were gonna be able to do.

C-Span Moderator: where did you spend tthe day?

caller: walter-reed.

C-Span Moderator: & youre down in miami beach, back in miami beach?

caller: i'm down here today.

C-Span Moderator: what were you doing @ walter -reed? are you a volunteer?

caller: no, i was just asked to come & spend the day. i was working that day in washington dc &...

C-Span Moderator: what kind of work do you do?

caller: um, i'm an entertainer.

C-Span Moderator: oh, what kind of entertaining? are you USO?

caller: no, i actually was called by the USO but i'm...i'm...i'm just...i'm an entertainer. & i really dont want to go much past that but...um...

C-Span Moderator: is this CHER?

caller: yeah.


It goes on from there...

21. Lack of armor was a big deal, it was unconscionable that the Bush Admin.
did not deal with the issue from the get-go. Very few people or media picked up the cause. I remember a libertarian columnist at The Chicago Tribune pushed it. (so sorry, I don't presently remember his name.) Ir was fucking shameful that the media in general didn't care. They sure pushed for the damn war good and hard, though. And Cher. Wunnerful American citizen Cher also put her neck out and helped to get something done for the troops.

15. Good for Cher!
d tRUMP seems very childish and always lashes out at those who berate him (i.e., Rosie O'Donnell, Robert DiNiro, Lawrence O'Donnell). I call him "fish lips" and wonder if those are natural or "plumped" up?
