so every other person on this planet is allowed to say something about politics but a celebrity not? why? seriously why? because they're famous? yes their job puts them in the spotlight but besides their job they are a human being just like everybody else! it's their choice if they want to express their political stand and what they think about whats going on right now. i mean no matter what trumps plans are for america (good or bad) you can't deny that he's racist and sexist and idk what else so there's nothing wrong with people having a problem with him the same way a lot of people didn't want Obama or Hillary if she would have won.

When "Don't make fun of disabled people" counts as a "political opinion", maybe Meryl Streep's not the problem? Maybe?

Trump supporters: "You're a celebrity, your job is to act not speak on politics"

Me: *Applies logic
"If you're a cook at a restaurant, your job is to cook not speak on politics"...

Didn't know having a specific job constitutes whether you have a voice or not. Apparently, Trump supporters do. NEWSFLASH, everyone has a right to speak their minds, even if some lack brain cells to do so. *sips tea

[Shannnnnnnnnnnnn]

"Celebrities shouldnt voice political opinions" say the people who voted a celebrity into office.

Why in the world are people sop butt hurt when actors talk about politics?

[nikolh]

[meriadriao]

[devthakor]

All these people in the comments arguing about who's the better batman Ben Affleck or Christine Bale when really the best batman of all time is Adam West #Greatness

[dadadruma]

[ChrisPBacon-kiew]

When you Trump haters say make a statement like "EVERYONE in America hates Trump", who voted for him then?

[DODGECHARGER-vvsg]

[EVEmasta]

Meryl streep bashing on karate was stupid

[alextorres]

That's not the duck from those commercials. AFLAC!!!

[MrFedericocoloma]

I'm from Argentina, and Jimmy Kymmel, a lot of tv shows from here are trying to be funny like you. But you are the best!

[joanngeorge]

She totally lied. For me now... Meryl is overrated.

[VultureClone]

lol what's with all the dislikes? All he said was that Streep was a great actress which she is. I think people who don't think so haven't seen enough of her movies.

May God Bless all of the lost souls and lead them to open their heart, mind, body and soul to Jesus Christ the King of Kings, Lord of Lords and our blessed and Holy Savior!!
