Meryl Streep's Golden Globes Trump Takedown: full transcript

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good. There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie. It was real life.

And this instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.

16. Here's my husband's prediction for Drumpf's snappy comeback:

"Streep is yuugely overrated! Not a good actress. Not attractive, a 4 at best. Sad."

7. Trump said he wasn't surprised by her speech

but instead of just saying, "ya I'm an asshole', he of course blames liberalism. A typical pig.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

17. There is no blame to be assigned for Streep's actions and words. No guilt.

Drumpf, on the other hand: Guilty as charged.

[Separation]

8. I can't wait for his Twitter response.

It would be so funny if it wasn't so damn sad. I'm not sure which is worse though. Trumps tweets, or The Trumpford Wives who fall over each other trying to defend him.

[VOX]

9. She's a class act, unlike Drumpf. n/t

11. Thanks for paying the transcripts. I was looking for the name of the organization she was talk about

We ALL need to support and protect journalists who report the news ethically and responsibly.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

14. That was one of the main reasons I looked for the transcript. I was watching the

Golden Globes and was so proud of her for standing up to the Drumpf Führer.

For the record, it was the "Committee to Protect Journalists" that she suggested we support.
