general political shit

Many turned to a bottle of the strong stuff after the chilling announcement that Donald Trump was to become the 45th President of the United States. And as Trump’s inauguration approaches in just under two weeks, booze cupboards across the world are likely to be plundered again.

With the impending need for several stiff drinks come January 20 in mind, six female brewers from Denver, Colorado have created an anti-Trump beer.

The beer, aptly named “Makin’ Noise: A Pussy Riot Beer,” is inspired by the Russian activist punk rock group of the same name. And of course, references can’t help but be made with Trump’s own infamous misogynistic outburst.

But the Colorado-based brewers involved, who include women from Guardian Brewing Company, Goldspot Brewing Company, Lady Justice Brewing, and Brewability Lab, don’t want to give Trump the limelight. The mission statement behind the beer says: “This beer works to combat the hate and oppression while also lending support and solidarity to the fight for equality.”

A portion of money raised from sales will also go to LGBTQ groups, Planned Parenthood, and environmental charities, among others.

Of all the “performances” this year, there was one that “stunned” her, that “sank its hooks” into her heart. “Not because it was good—there was nothing good about it,” Streep said. “But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”

The incident Streep was referring to occurrred in November 2015, when Trump callously mock-imitated Serge Kovaleski, a New York Times reporter who suffers from the congenital condition arthrogryposis, at one of his political rallies.  

This “instinct to humiliate” by then-candidate Donald Trump, she said, “gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.”
As the actors in the audience began to tear up, Streep called on the “principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage.” Quoting Tommy Lee Jones, she added, “We have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight.”

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....

Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him.......

"groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!
