THIS JUST IN! SHE STILL CAN'T TAKE A HINT!

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

WHEN WILL CRANKY CLINTON JUST GO AWAY?

Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values @womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe we're always Stronger Together.

9:07 AM - 21 Jan 2017

SHE LOST.

SHE KNEW THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE DECIDED.

SHE WAS TOO DUMB AND LAZY TO CARE BECAUSE SHE FELT ENTITLED.

NOW SHE REFUSES TO JUST GO AWAY.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE THE 2000S WOULD HAVE BEEN IF AL GORE HAD TWITTER?

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

So here they come, the same crowd that tried to tell American how to vote.

All they did was alienate a lot of people.

Adults know how to vote.

It's one thing to say, "I'm proud of Hillary and I'm voting for her.''

It's another to try to shame someone into voting for your political crush.

And now, in utter stupidity,they show up as Donald is being sworn in, to protest . . .

What?

Because he's going to do things that demand protest.

And by upping the outrage factor with protests before he's even president, all these idiots are doing is making sure many Americans will tune out when actual protest for actual actions take place.

Way to go idiots.

And let's go back to those vets.

Because I'm thinking about Sally Field's Emmy acceptance speech and how she pretended to care about Iraq -- then lost all interest in it as Barack came into office.

And I'm realizing how many years ago that was.

I look at a number of the veterans protesting as young people.

They're not.

They've been out of Iraq for at least ten years now.

This Tweet provides perspective on the long, long ongoing Iraq War:

The Iraq War in 2003 can clearly remember every Teacher in School talking about it and I was only 5 at the time.

Ms. Rosenberg @Miz_Rosenberg

15yo has an interesting question this morning: What's the first major news story you can remember living through as a child?

So as they protest McCain, I'm left to wonder, where the hell have they been as Barack's sent more US troops into Iraq, as Barack's bombed Iraq daily since August 2014?

Where the hell have they been?

I didn't start Iraq Veterans Against the War -- they did.

So I guess, in a John Kerry-like way -- they were against the war before they were for it?

And all of the above, where is their cry to stop the paranoia and fear of Russia?

The Russian government has not been proven to have done anything.

There is no evidence that it hacked the election or anything else.

Now I know Jane fell to the floor in Russia when Roger Vadim took her there and she had a panic attack because she was consumed by the Cold War fears.

Why in the world wouldn't she speak out now as idiotic Temple Prostitutes for Hillary try to restart The Cold War?

These losers want to pretend life was great the last 8 years when it truly was not.

THIS JUST IN! CRANKY CALLS OUT RUSSIA AND PRAISES SAUDI ARABIA!

‏@OnlineMagazin

 Saudi Arabia has financed 20% of #Hillary Clinton's election campaign, but #Russia manipulated the US elections? WOW!

REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY CLINTON TOLD THESE REPORTERS, "I'VE ALWAYS FOUND SAUDI ARABIA TO BE MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN RUSSIA WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN'S RIGHTS. THAT'S THE TRUTH JUST LIKE EVERY WORD FROM MY MOUTH IS THE TRUTH. I AM ALWAYS HONEST. I NEVER LIE. IGNORE THE FBI. IGNORE EVERYTHING. IF YOU DO I WILL RUN IN 2020 AND I WILL! I WILL!"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

More and more, I think what any occupant of the White House needs is a car with twin 11-year-olds in the backseat, bored, hopped up on Monster and kicking the seat in front of them while repeatedly asking, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

Are we there yet?

That's one of the most important questions that president-elect Donald Trump will face once he's sworn in as President of the United States.

And someone needs desperately to define where ''there" is.

The Iraq War, or at least this century's installment, started in March of 2003.

Two months shy of 14 years, the war continues and US troops are still engaged in it -- from the air and on the ground.

As a point of reference, WWI and WWII did not last as long -- did not last as long combined.

Yet still the Iraq War continues.

Erik Gustafson (THE HILL) offers four things to remember regarding Iraq.

1) Victory in Mosul does not mean the ISIS threat is over.
2) Young democracies like Iraq are not the place for strongmen.
3) Reconstruction must address the longterm needs of the Iraqi people.
4) Iraq's ability to secure its future is limited by serious economic shortcomings.

A fifth?

Maybe . . . don't take your eyes off Iraq? Don't ignore it?

‏@KenRoth

Terrorism in Iraq gets far less attention, but Iraq was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in 2016.

Yep, it does get less attention.

Why is that, Kenny boy?

Because you used your Twitter feed to campaign for Hillary Clinton?

I'm sorry, I thought Human Rights Watch was politically neutral.

Had you just focused on Iraq, maybe it would get the attention it needs.

Had you just Tweeted about HRW's Iraq reports, it might have gotten attention.

But before the election you thought you were slyly promoting Hillary and post-election you've had a tantrum or two.

Maybe if you'd focus on human rights and the work of HRW, Iraq could get the attention it deserves.

If you're part of the problem, that's on you.

THIS JUST IN! CRANKY READY TO STEP IN IF NEEDED!

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

AFTER A DEDICATION CEREMONY IN D.C. YESTERDAY, A STILL EMBITTERED CRANKY CLINTON GRANTED AN INTERVIEW TO THESE REPORTERS TO EXPLAIN WHY SHE WAS PLANNING ON ATTENDING THE INAUGURATION OF DONALD TRUMP.

"AS I SAID WHEN PEOPLE WERE TELLING ME TO DROP OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY RACE FOR PRESIDENT IN JUNE OF 2008, 'WE ALL REMEMBER THAT BOBBY KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED IN JUNE IN CALIFORNIA.' ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. AND I NEED MY COUNTRY AND MY CULT TO KNOW THAT -- SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN -- I WILL BE PRESENT AND WILLING AND READY TO STEP IN AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE."

ASKED IF SOME MIGHT CONSTRUE HER COMMENTS AS A THREAT, CRANKY CLINTON RESPONDED, "ME? MAKE A THREAT? REALLY? ME?"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Let's stay with the industry first.

Meryl Streep is not a star and never has been.

She has 'femme' appeal among eastern seaboard critics -- 'femme' appeal as VARIETY used to word it in the fifties.

Most people will not pay to see Meryl which is why she can't open a film and why her films are flops.

She's made 66 films and her average domestic box office is $33 million.

That's ticket sales. That is a joke.

She is a joke.

Not one of her last five films has even made $30 million at the box office.

She is not a star.

She's an overpraised actress.

Try to imagine a reel of Meryl highlights?

Does anyone remember anything?

There's DEATH BECOMES HER -- but credit for that goes to Robert Zemeckis and Goldie Hawn.

DEATH BECOMES HER goes to Meryl's problems. In the late 80s, she'd finally found a way to fill in her otherwise hollow characters (this happens when she moves into comedy) but in 1992's DEATH BECOMES HER -- and all that's followed, Meryl's projecting into her own palm. She can't interact with other characters and it's as though she has no body.

We're not talking about sex appeal. She lacks that and few men or women ever become stars without sex appeal.

But we're talking about a performer divorced from her body.

There are many finer actresses than Meryl. Lily Tomlin immediately comes to mind. Every scene is a work to marvel with Lily. That's especially true when Lily co-starred with Meryl in Robert Altman's last film. You watched Meryl do all the same things, same fussy business she does with each role, all the mechanics (as Pauline Kael long ago pointed out) and you never feel reality, you just feel like Meryl's doing yet another performance that her drama teacher will applaud. Yawn.

Lily's creating a new character.

Meryl may do accents but her characters are all the same.

Lily's Margo in THE LATE SHOW and Violet in 9 TO 5 and Linnea in NASHVILLE and Edweena in ALL OF ME and Doreen in SHORT CUTS and Elle in GRANDMA and Frankie in GRACE AND FRANKIE are all different and distinct characters. They move differently, they gesture differently, Lily alters her body and her voice for each role.

Lily's co-star in GRACE AND FRANKIE is Jane Fonda. Meryl has done 66 films. Where is her Bree Daniels?

I always argue that Jane gave the best performance of any actress in the second half of the 20th century with KLUTE.

Meryl's never matched that moment on screen, let alone surpassed it.

Back to Lily.

Lily's been nominated once for an Academy Award -- only once.

OSCARSOWHITE# got it wrong.

It's OSCARSOCLASSIST#.

And don't complain about the actresses denied nominations -- worthy actresses -- unless you want to face the reality that Meryl doesn't deserve 19 nominations.

But she's received them.

Not because she's outstanding like Lily Tomlin or because she's given an amazing all out performance like Jane Fonda, but because of the class system -- an upper, middle class, eastern seaboard woman who went to Vassar and Yale.

Debra Winger is a better actress then Meryl but Debra's background's working class. So the fussbudgets among the 'critics' don't rush to crown Debra.

It's a class issue.

And when Meryl won for her awful portrayal of Margaret Thatcher (in the fact challenged film), that meant Viola Davis lost for THE HELP. Viola's performance had life, passion and believability.

So, yes, it is an issue that matters.

Because Meryl's a WASP, she doesn't have to excel, she merely has to be adequate.

And when she goes on TV and presents herself as 'the left' that's a lie that needs to be called out. She is not opposed to war. She is not concerned with illegal spying. She is hack for the Democratic Party.
