Hell no, we don't need another celebrity, didn't you read what I said? We need someone who can actually show they care about the issues, she only says she does things just go get more money and more viewers for her shows. All she cares about is lining her pockets with gold and being popular, and being popular is a reason for people to stroke their egos.

*Sigh* Why? Does it have to be either one of them? As long as it isn't another Clinton, I'd be fine I guess. I thought Oprah was going to leave the US if Trump got elected :lol: So much for that XD
How many big name Hollywood stars gave such a hollow threat? Maybe some day people will grow up.. Not anytime soon. They're paid way too much to have a valid opinion.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for Hollywood to purge itself from the dregs of society. Celebrities are nothing but pompous, sanctimonious losers.

If there's one good thing about Trump, it makes our decision for Brexit not look so bad in comparison.

That reminds me.. What ever happened to Calexit? Oh, right.. California can't do a damn thing... zzzzz

We tried a celebrity as president, next we should try a meme. Ugandan Knuckles 2020!

Nothing has changed for me, was living my life just fine before Trump was in office and am still living completely unchanged with him as our President.

The only thing that's different is that most online communities have turned into obnoxious Trump-whining white knighters. Nothing but headlines about some completely insignificant thing Trump may or may not have said or done. His election really flipped the SJW far left switch on the Internet and its become almost unreadable for me.
Modern day politics are too much of a joke to take seriously anymore so I typically try to avoid them, just wanted to leave my 2 cents here

Not much that the president says or does is insignificant. The US' credit rating in China took a hit simply because Trump is an international embarrassment. Words and actions have consequences for normal people, even more so for the executive branch of government.

    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
