Meryl Streep’s Lifetime Achievement speech, in which she never mentioned the Russian Usurper Donald Trump by name, seems to have stirred the pot in Wingnuttia, and they are all calling for celebrities to STFU, including other celebrities:
Advice to all actors, musicians and entertainers: Please stick to your crafts that we all love you for and drop the political rhetoric.

Dude, aren’t you a performer? Aren’t you saying that you should shut up? https://t.co/3I7fSgpsLd

The irony of Trump being a reality teevee star and now PeOTUS seems lost on Greater Wingnuttia.
(Oh, and for the record, Mr. Tritt was a very vocal supporter of Chimpy McStagger and is a huge gun rights advocate, speaking out on that topic frequently. The more you know.)
It’s like a flashback to Ari Fliescher telling everyone to be careful what they are saying during Chimpy’s Reign of Error. But my favorite in the Streep-bashing genre has to be middle-brow Fox News pundit, hebephrenic TeeVee Dinner heir, vanity press owner, and Black Studies scholar Tucker Carlson:

If the dumbasses keep this up, social media will not be the useful tool they think it is.

At least people don’t ask Ted Nugent to stick to the craft “we all love him for.” No one wants more of that.
Remember when Republicans were all up in arms about showing “respect for the Office of the President”? Their guy is going to spend the next four years in the oval office searching social media for negative press and trolling people on Twitter….as the founding fathers intended
I am sure when he walks by the Marine honor guard staring at his smart phone, the “economically anxious white working class who just wanted change” will drop the same house of bricks on him that they dropped on Obama.
