“Joe Biden is a hero.” Oh spare me. He’s anything but. Hollywood has lost its way and may never right the ship. Eff them all, especially the sanctimonious George Clooney.

A vacuous mind waxing verbal. UPDATE: I mean Clooney.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I'm old enough to remember a time when Hollywood stars did more for their country than shill for a party or its candidates. In the 30s and 40s many of the leading men served in the military during World War II. Actress Hedy Lamar, whose brilliance equaled her beauty, invented a guidance system that helped win the war. In my younger days, Bob Hope, Ann-Margret, and other stars went to Vietnam to entertain the troops. (https://www.truthorfiction.com/annmargret/) They didn't do it to make a political statement, or to make their audiences adore them more. They did it because they were Americans and they wanted to support their country.

Gary Sinise is a notable exception.

Excellent example of a standup guy.

Love the urban lingo of “he’s a standup guy”.

Mark Wahlberg too.

David Niven volunteered for the British Army in WW2 and had the enviable job of leading an armed reconnaissance group in Normandy. Those are the fellows that go in front of the Allied armies to find out where the German positions are, usually the hard way.

Wow, thanks for that historical nugget, Les V... I can just see David Niven, in uniform and in character, but for real... cool...

It was a truly remarkable generation.

I fear it's the Law of Averages at work: Niven's generation balanced out by the current one.

Like Audie Murphy, the most decorated WW2 veteran in olde Hollywood when they actually loved common normal American folks.

Small in size and a giant in courage and bravery.

George Clooney should be scrubbing toilets in Las Vegas casinos and just shut his piehole. Call it Oceans 1945 like Iwo Jima.

Jimmy Stewart flew combat missions over Europe and came home with significant PTSD. It is said that A Wonderful Life was a sort of therapy for him.

George Clooney is a sick, Hollywierd freak. His wife is a muslim terrorist sympathizer.

Stuff it Clooney and go back to Lake Como and do whatever you do. Your opinion means nothing at all.

Memo to Clooney: The moment you decide you need to "save democracy" from the will of voters with whom you happen to disagree, is the moment you stop being democratic and become a totalitarian.

And now you'd like us to believe that you "just received new and upsetting information" about Biden's dementia that has been obvious to the rest of America for years? Well George, you're either brain dead or you're lying...and I don't think you're brain dead.

Why can’t Clooney be like Brad who when asked about his political opinion—he said, I’m a guy who gets up every morning and puts on makeup.

George Clooney is not only a movie star living in an alternate universe but he also now makes his home base in France. George, if you like it so much in France to live there nearly full-time then go ahead and change your nationality, start wearing a beret, eat a baguette and spare us your elitist, Francophile thoughts on US politics. And yeah, I won’t be seeing your new flick.

That new flick looked like a tiresome rerun of pieces of other movies put together to make us think it’s a brand new movie scene. 🤮 The video clip was tiresome to watch. Clooney’s name no longer carries the weight it once did. Brad Pitt may have some pull, but I doubt this flick gets high views. IMHO

I think what everyone is missing here is that there are so many fools and uninformed voters that believe exactly what Clooney is spewing. My immediate family lives in Pennsylvania (I grew up there but now live in Massachusetts) where their vote really matters and people are fucking idiots. They are mindless fools of the MSM and will continue to vote democrat despite not being able to afford eggs or car insurance. Many of them live in towns where car jackings are common and all are receiving assistence from the government. They are just fools and refuse to believe they would be better off voting republican. It take guts to admit your guy has really screwed the country and you placed your vote and belief in someone that has hurt you financially and economically. It’s like admitting defeat and many just don’t have it in them to say I chose poorly.

So you encourage bitter and nasty behavior... well done.

I agree with Truth Seeker 100 percent. The TDS crowd needs to check their own bitter and nasty behavior and rhetoric.

how about a fucking question HL3

I just reread what i wrote. How is any of this at all bitter or nasty? In order to say that you need context which you don’t have and i’m just stating the obvious which you are afraid to discuss. Go live under the rock you have been living under HL3 and in 5 years after Trump has won and turned things around i want you to call me.

Democrats are at war with reality. So, (to them) bringing up reality is a very nasty thing to do. lol

HL3 lives to tell everyone (over and over again) something along the line of "both sides are the same" in some kind of half-baked moral equivalency argument that no person with a shred of honesty and intelligence believes.

My wife and I have stopped following movies. On occasion we go to something but for the most part we’ve come to the decision - mutually - that we’re not going to support an industry comprised, overwhelmingly, of people who hate us. Add that to the fact that good writing is very rare these days, as is a good story, and it adds up to the fact that we’re just not interested in what they’re selling.

Additionally, the causes they support-say, for instance, Joe Biden- are really pathetic. He, Hillary Clinton, Kamala… these are profoundly uninteresting people. At best they’re automatons, bent on destroying our values for the sake of destroying our values. No, we choose the good things. Good stories, good values and a good America. We’re decidedly not destructive and we don’t need them or their piss poor ideas, their bad writing and their shitty movies.

Proving once again, why Hollyweird is nothing more than morally bankrupt stooges for the liberal Dems and the Deep State!

frightening that this Biden thing is happening at the same time the US is assisting with missiles being fired into Russia.

Totally unrelated, you aren't suggesting they are trying to manipulate are you? Or that Joe even knows this happened?

Though I don’t have the faintest clue how this scam works, I am pretty certain that no Hollywood type would endorse any Democrat if it wasn’t they, themselves, who make loads of money with the Democrat in the White House. As Rush Limbaugh famously said, “ALWAYS follow the money.”

The egos of these people are off the charts. Does Clooney even live in America? Why does he think anyone really cares what he thinks — except, of course, corporate media, as they are all living in the same bubble, which is rapidly being flushed.

Very well off suburban housewives who swoon over his perfect face care!! And they will be first in line to vote for Newsom when he scurries out of his rathole to claim the crown. All we need is for him to make a guest appearance on the View!

George Clooney is a disgrace and a fraud ...

I remember years ago when George was on MTP lamenting right-wingers spending money, meanwhile he's spending tons of money for the causes he loves. The message was clear: if you disagree with George and spend money to get your message out, you're evil; but if you agree with George and spend money, you're saving democracy. He's a partisan hack, plain and simple. He thinks because he's rich, that makes him a good guy, but clearly he doesn't care about "democracy," just Democrats.
