Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    emptywheel Retweeted Glenn Greenwald

    Didn't a reality TV show host just get elected to be POTUS? Seems like it'd be okay for other movie and TV show people to comment, then.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/818451086902181888 …

    Why are actors less qualified to comment on political issues than, say, cable TV or talk radio hosts? Never understood this rationale.

        @ggreenwald One is not supposed to need credentials to participate as a citizen in this country.

        And I’d take Streep’s speech seriously even if it arrived as an anonymous tweetstorm; it’s self-justifying

        I mean, the content speaks for itself. You don’t have to trust Streep to know she’s right.

        Obviously she's as entitled and qualified as anybody else, but I honestly think it may be counterproductive.

        @ggreenwald Yes, anyone can speak out, but I think it's natural to resent non-pols w/big mics. Why do they get listened to?

        He actually ran for office, instead of finger-wagging from a podium. See the difference?

        Glenn is a thought leader. Or a troll. Or just compromised.

        @ggreenwald Agreed. And even without that, aren't actors and those in Hollywood citizens?

        A lot of difference between actors /actresses and successful businessman!

        Actors are independent contractors in most cases -they kind of are a business. . .
