Robert De Niro is a Democrat

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Famed Hollywood liberal, Robert De Niro, has gone from a raging bull to a humbled sheep now that Donald Trump has won the election.

One of the most storied acting careers in all of Hollywood was seriously tarnished prior to the presidential election, when the beloved De Niro released a campaign video in which he stated:

"He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's a con, a bullshit artist...he talks about how he'd like to punch people in the face. Well, I'd like to punch him in the face."

When Hillary Clinton lost, De Niro compared the election of Trump to the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that killed over 3,000 Americans.

Now that the Democrat Party has been pummeled by the American voters, De Niro is singing a different tune. Suddenly, the actor wants to take a wait and see approach.

Via Fox News:

Actor Robert De Niro appeared to soften his tone toward President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday when he was asked what message he would share with the soon-to-be 45th U.S. president.

"I would only say that we're all hoping, waiting and hoping, that he will lead the country in a way that'll benefit everyone and benefit our neighbors around the world," De Niro told ITK, according to The Hill.

"We're waiting and hoping, and we'll see."

...

The "Raging Bull" actor's comments appear to be a complete turnaround from the disparaging remarks he made about the real estate mogul in October.

Of Trump, De Niro said "he's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's a con, a bulls- artist, a mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about."

Safe to say De Niro won't be accepting the offer of asylum made by a small town in southern Italy any time soon.

He's welcome in Trump's America, of course. Conservatives don't kick people out or try to ruin their careers based on their first Amendment right to free speech.

But it would be nice if he'd stop acting like a Focker by making such asinine comments.
Comment: Do you expect more Hollywood liberals to try and play nice with Trump now that they've been embarrassed? Do you even care what they have to say? Share your thoughts below.

Cher is a Democrat

She compared him to Hitler, likened his campaign to a "racist" version of "Fun with Dick and Jane" and even said he evoked the murderous child star in "The Bad Seed."

"I just think he's" an idiot, Cher said of Donald J. Trump, adding a decidedly unprintable modifier.

The crowd on Sunday in Provincetown, Mass., one of the country's gay capitals, roared its approval at Cher's succinct and salty assessment. But the famed singer and actress was not just riffing between songs at a concert: She was introducing Hillary Clinton at a fund-raiser for her presidential campaign.

Cher did more than just blister Mr. Trump. She also offered a blunt appraisal of Mrs. Clinton's strengths and weaknesses. "This chick is just tougher than Chinese algebra," Cher said of the Democratic nominee.

Prompting a mix of nervous laughter and applause, she added, "She is shy, and she's not the greatest speaker in the world."

Cher said Mrs. Clinton had told her of being deeply affected by her failed effort to spearhead an overhaul of the nation's health care system in 1993. "She got so crushed by the G.O.P., just for trying to set up health care, and she never thought it would be so personal, and she said it made her kind of pull in."

"I hope she doesn't mind my telling this story," Cher said, adding: "Too late now!"

Her 16-minute remarks, recorded by an attendee and posted on Facebook, offered a colorful glimpse at a part of the presidential campaign that has been mainly off-limits to the general public and journalists this election cycle. Both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump have generally barred reporters from attending their fund-raisers.

As Cher demonstrated, the language used in private settings like the event on Cape Cod - which brought in more than $1 million for Mrs. Clinton's campaign - can be more inflammatory and raw than what is said with a bank of television cameras present.

And it was not just the entertainer, whose Twitter posts often employ a toilet emoji instead of Mr. Trump's name, who spoke bluntly.

Mrs. Clinton, who often discusses how well she was able to work with Republicans during her tenure in the Senate, took the stage and acknowledged former Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, noting that he has been promoting a new bumper sticker.

"I think it is something like, 'Democrats Aren't Perfect - but They're Nuts!'" said Mrs. Clinton. "You understand that."

But Mrs. Clinton, a portion of whose remarks was also posted online, was not onstage when Cher, 70, arrived to loud applause, lip-syncing a few lines of her song "Woman's World."

Cher warned that Mr. Trump's slogan, "Make America Great Again," was only a guise for a more divisive message. "He means, 'We want to make America straight and white,'" she said.

And she belittled Mr. Trump for his stumbling reference at the Republican convention to the "L.G.B.T.Q." community. "It's like he just learned it, you know?" she said to laughter.

Speaking without notes, Cher's performance was more of an insult-comedy routine than a traditional political speech.

"Do you remember 'Fun with Dick and Jane?'" she asked, referring to the 1970s comedy. "It's like 'Racist Fun with Dick and Jane.' We're going to build walls!"

Mr. Trump, she added, reminded her of the pigtailed blond actress Patty McCormack from "The Bad Seed."

"Consummate liar, doesn't care who she hurts, insane and, you know, sociopathic narcissist," she said. "I just wish he'd fall off the face of the earth."

Veering into more incendiary territory, Cher invoked "old despots" and received a subdued response when she mentioned Hitler and Stalin.

"We're going to make Germany great again," she said, before digressing to a bit on Britain's vote to leave the European Union.

Even as she sought to use her closing comments to praise Mrs. Clinton - "I believe in her so much," she said - Cher could not help but return to the object of her ire, Mr. Trump.

"I know that if he got into office, our world would be the worst place," Cher said. "I don't think we could imagine how bad it could get."

She added that, "if breaking news ever happened and he had to go to the podium, we would just all go ..."

She finished her thought with a four-letter expression of disgust. Then she walked off to a roar of applause.

Katy Perry is a democrat

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 32-year-old pop singer debuted "Chained to the Rhythm" at the Grammy awards. Announcing that the chanteuse would devote her brand to "purposeful pop," she wore an armband emblazoned with the word "PERSIST," a nod to Elizabeth Warren's protest on the Senate floor against Jeff Sessions' confirmation. As she read a letter from Coretta Scott King admonishing the civil rights record of the Alabama Senator, Republican Mitch McConnell shouted her down, saying: "She persisted." That phrase has since become a rallying cry against the new administration.

Perry, one of Hillary Clinton's most passionate supporters during the 2016 race, wrote on Twitter that the 2016 election was a moment of awakening for the singer, known more for squirting whip cream from her breasts than her political awareness. "Sometimes it's scary opening up to consciousness," she wrote, "makes you realize how asleep you were, and how OK you were with it."

The catchy tune, which is the first single from Perry's yet-to-be-released fourth album, is intended to mark a shift in her public persona. Produced by the ever-ubiquitous Sia, "Chained to the Rhythm" marries Perry's glittery facade - as well as her torrid love affair with mixed metaphors - to an undercurrent of Trump-era malaise. "Living our lives through a lens," she croons. "Trapped in our white-picket fence/ Like ornaments/" The bridge, courtesy of Bob Marley's son, Skip, stops just short of calling for a coup. "Up in your high place, liars/" the 20-year-old sing-raps. "Time is ticking for the empire/"

Selling herself as "woke" is good marketing for a singer about to enter the second decade of her career, a transition that's been extremely unkind to pop contemporaries from Jessica Simpson to Lily Allen. But the issue is that Perry has been selling herself as enlightened for some time, even as her discography is littered with a distasteful undercurrent of homophobia and racism. If the diva hopes to rescue America from Trump with booty-shaking jams, Perry needs to save herself first.

Perry claims that she penned the No. 1 hit - which actually has four writers attached - after catching a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson, then Woody Allen's muse, in a magazine. But the track dabbles in the sort of girl-on-girl action you might find at a frat party, Sapphic action strictly for the purpose of male attention. The singer, who reminds us in the song that she has a "boyfriend," repeatedly reminds her audience that it's all in good fun: "You're my experimental game/ Just human nature."

One particular couplet, though, really drove a stake all the way through the heart of LGBT listeners. "It's not what, good girls do," Perry sings. "Not how they should behave."

These are odd sentiments for someone who has repeatedly referred to herself as a supporter of the queer community. The debut of "I Kissed a Girl," which spent seven weeks atop the pop charts, coincided with the passage of Proposition 8 in California, a voter referendum that overturned an earlier Supreme Court decision legalizing marriage equality at the ballot box. After same-sex union were voted down in her home state, Perry told DoSomething.org: "I am a gay activist and I say that proudly. I voted no on Prop 8."

Perry has billed herself as an ally to LGBT people throughout her career, dedicating the music video to "Firework" to the It Gets Better campaign. Over vaguely inspirational lyrics imploring asking listeners have "ever [felt] like a plastic bag/ drifting through the wind/ wanting to start again," the video shows two boys kissing in a crowded dance party. But as The New York Times noted, there was something a little more than opportunistic behind its veneer of queer affirmation. The song, which Perry also claimed was a tribute to Jack Kerouac, was written in 2009, well before Tyler Clementi's suicide made the issue of anti-gay bullying a nationwide topic of conversation.

Clementi was a Rutgers student who took his own life in 2010 after being outed by his roommate. The lyrics for "Firework" are so vague and nonspecific they could be applied to anything. Like the video for Christina Aguilera's thematically identical "Beautiful," the video also makes room for a young cancer patient and a teen struggling with body negativity.

It's also nakedly hypocritical about someone who once implored an effeminate ex to kill himself in a song to advocate for tolerance and understanding. Although "I Kissed a Girl" proved her big break in the U.S., it wasn't her first release here. That would be "Ur So Gay," offered up as a promotional single from "One of the Boys." The triphop-inspired track failed to chart on the Hot 100 but managed to go Gold on the strength of digital downloads.

On "Ur So Gay," Perry bemoans the fact that she fell in love with a straight man who acts gay. Among the metrosexual fellow's chief sins are that the fellow wears makeup, likes Hemingway and listens to Mozart - basically that he behaves like a woman, is culturally refined and has good taste in books. The singer would like you to know that these traits are bad and men who enjoy such things are not desirable. Her solution? "I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf/" she sings, later adding: "You're so gay and you don't even like boys/"

Perry recorded the song in 2008, which you could reasonably argue was a long time ago. Perhaps she released it, learned from the extremely negative feedback from the LGBT community, regretted the controversy and moved on.

Perry has willfully continued making these sorts of mistakes her entire career, refusing to grow and evolve as an artist. Critics pointed out that the lyrics of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," an 80's throwback complete with a sax solo courtesy of Kenny G, heavily allude to date rape and it didn't help that the video shows someone getting roofied - as if getting drugged and sexually assaulted where just a wild and wacky thing that happens when you're busy having fun. At the 1:40 mark, you can clearly see a male partygoer putting something in his female conversation partner's drink.

But then again, probably not. Even while debuting her new socially conscious Barbie image, Perry managed to take not one but two unnecessary swipes at Britney Spears on the Grammys red carpet. Spears, who had a very public breakdown in 2007, famously cut off all her hair at the height of media fascination about her mental health. She has since sought treatment and appears to be doing well, releasing a well-received comeback album, "Glory," last year. The former party girl spends most of her time Instagramming about Caesar salads.

When Ryan Seacrest asked Perry why she took such a long break in between releasing records, the singer didn't tout her newfound wisdom. She called it "taking care of your mental health." Perry added, " I haven't shaved my head yet."

As the saying goes, if it ain't woke, don't fix it.

Queen Latifah is a Democrat

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Queen Latifah, whose real name is Dana Owens, was born in Newark, New Jersey and raised mostly in East Orange, New Jersey.

Queen Latifah was raised Baptist, went to a Catholic school growing up, and now considers herself a non-denominational Christian. She said that while she was growing up, church and Bible school were "requirements" and that her early connection to God caused her to never feel like she was alone.

She said she believes in "divine design," that everything happens for a reason. Talking about her brother's death in a motorcycle accident when he was only 24, she said,

I always leave open that things happen for a reason, and I don't understand that reason always, but it's something I have to accept. . . . I really believe that God had his hands on me the whole time, and my family as well.

Her relationship with God is very personal and seems to be with her constantly, like a close companion. She said,

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it. God is my homeboy. Jesus is my homeboy.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah is a Democrat and an Obama-supporter, even appearing in an ad for the president in 2008. And her only campaign contribution on record was to a Democrat.

She supports the gay rights movement, and even though there's all sorts of speculation about Latifah's own sexuality,she says that the matter is not up for public discussion. She has performed at gay pride events, and although she doesn't think unions among gay couples should be called "marriage," she supports equal rights:

I don't think that it should be called marriage. But the idea of it is the same, and you should have the same quality of rights that a married person has. People think of marriage as something that is between a man and a woman, because it was created by God. Well, let God handle the judgment, too. You stay out of it.

Queen Latifah, from her role as a woman in hip hop in its early days, has been associated with feminism from the beginning. She is a role model to bigger women who don't fit the skinny Hollywood stereotype, and her lyrics protest anything less than equality for women. In her song "U.N.I.T.Y." she raps,

Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a hoe/ Trying to make a sister feel low/ You know all of that gots to go

Aspiring business-women, actresses, singers, and rappers of any color, body-type or sexuality, can certainly find a role model in the Queen.

I find it hard to reconcile being a country music legend and being a Democrat, but both Tim McGraw and Faith Hill evidently are just that. McGraw brands himself as a Blue Dog Democrat. I find that interesting. Both of them give generously to the Democrats and supported both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. McGraw spoke out for Obama in his 2008 campaign. I'm not sure how they both stand now. Many Blue Dog Democrats are going with Donald Trump. Wonder if they are in that bunch? I hope they are - at least that would reinstate a bit of faith in them.

From American News:

After hearing her music and listening to her values, one would be inclined to believe that Faith Hill would be a conservative. As it turns out, that couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, she is a strong Obama-supporter.

"It's innate in me to be a blue-dog Democrat," Hill's husband Tim McGraw told People. "I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, but that's what I am. My wife and I and our family will do everything we can to support Obama. I like his ideas, I like his energy, and I like the statement he would make for our country to the world."

Well, we're seeing that statement be made and it ain't pretty.

As it turns out, this country duo is fueling the fire. Both regularly donate to the Democratic party as well as Obama's campaigns. And the two haven't ruled out running themselves.

McGraw was reportedly recruited years back to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee-and opportunity that he turned down because of family obligations.

"It's more of a leadership role, and I think that's something that I'd do well," he told reporters. "That doesn't rule out senator; I just think that as governor of a state, especially where I live, there would be a lot more opportunities to make some decisions and change some things."

What do you think? Are you disappointed in these country stars?

Tennessee is in massive trouble with their Muslim/illegal alien population and the influx of refugees. Tennessee is also over $43 billion in debt - they are broke. McGraw would have to be a heck of a leader to fix that mess. I wonder if the dynamic duo is still keen on Obama's ideas and his 'change' for America. It has been an ongoing disaster especially for Tennessee. They have both lost a lot of fans over their politics. It probably would have been wiser to keep their leanings to themselves in their line of work. Nashville is a great deal like Hollywood. They suffer from some of the same elitism and group think. This couple embodies that.
