I have made sure the batteries down in the Tweetstorm cellar are fully charged. I estimate Category 5 by 4am at the latest.

1. Please share what those remarks were.

3. Here you go.

"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick us all out, you’ll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts."

Meryl Streep received the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, and slammed Donald Trump's "performance" in her acceptance speech.

"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick us all out, you’ll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts," she said, tearfully and with a faint voice, upon accepting the career-spanning honor.

She echoed Hugh Laurie's comment about how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is part of "the most vilified segments in American society right now" — Hollywood, foreigners and the press. "But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places," she explained, outlining her New Jersey upbringing, plus the non-Los Angeles backgrounds of Sarah Paulson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Amy Adams, Natalie Portman, Ruth Negga, Viola Davis, Dev Patel and Ryan Reynolds. "Where are their birth certificates?"



Streep then noted that one "performance" stood out this year: that of Donald Trump when he mocked a disabled reporter at a rally. "There was nothing good about it, but it did its job," she said. "It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can't get it out my head because it wasn’t in a movie, it was in real life. That instinct to humiliate when it’s modeled by someone in a public platform, it filters down into everyone’s life because it gives permission for others to do the same."

"Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence," she continued. After calling for the press to stand up to Trump, Streep concluded her speech by quoting Carrie Fisher: "Take your broken heart, make it into art."


Viola Davis presented the honor to the prolific actress has won eight Golden Globes and collected 29 nominations. "Her artistry reminds us of the impact of what it means to be an artist, which is to make us feel less alone," she told her Doubt co-star. "You make me proud to be an artist. You make me feel that what I have in me — my body, my face, my age — is enough."

And Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson can go f themselves.

[TDale313]

34. It was aired.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

41. I heard her say it.

So, I guess you missed it.

[niyad]

50. welcome to du

[KewlKat]

2. he won't miss this opportunity.

[milestogo]

9. I predict he will say Meryl Streep is a terrible actress.

[flamingdem]

16. He's going to have a tough time dissing her

She's beautiful and obviously talented.. hmm old maybe?

[milestogo]

20. Sad. Who cares, she supported Hillary. A great actress- NOT.

[sarah FAILIN]

38. At most, a 5- DJT

LOL, he is going to lose it. He s trying to hold back but it will get him.

[OKNancy]

4. he's right... I predicted the same thing

right nutjobs already starting, like Laura Ighram

[democratisphere]

7. Agreed. Boarding up the windows and sleeping in the bathtub tonight.

Merrill Streep was right on about the presses obligation to report the truth regarding the Drumpf Reich. She did a beautiful job.

[spanone]

8. 1st thing i said to my wife....

[chillfactor]

10. please keep us updated...

the orange one must be fuming....LOL!

[bdamomma]

11. too fucking bad

we are not going away..........we will not remain silent.

Let him tweet POS. tRump: I get no respect.

[Chasstev365]

12. Keep trolling Benedict Donald!

He has no see discipline and will keep making a fool of himself.

See if you can guess his line of attack:

I say it will be," She's bad actress and her films are overrated."

[ginnyinWI]

35. no, she is a woman. He will attack her looks. nt

[TrekLuver]

48. Trashpot is become quite predictable...well done!

[nolabear]

13. Oh I do hope so. She can take him and so can we.

I could NOT love her more.

[napi21]

15. I'm a bit surprised you think it will take until 4 am? I would think his response would be much

faster than that. I do however there will be a response.

[flamingdem]

18. I think he wakes up with gas around 3 or 4am

and his missives start to fly around then but we'll see.

For sure Melania is not around to wake him up over this lol

[C_U_L8R]

17. The hatesteam must be blowing out of his fat faux-bronzed head

[TeamPooka]

22. I guess Donald Trump was lucky Meryl Streep lost her voice.

[CousinIT]

23. Just what I was thinking.

[MrModerate]

24. It's just hot air . . . n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

40. What was hot air? Please clarify.

[MrModerate]

47. The tweetstorm itself. Not an especially profound comment, I know. n/t

[mnhtnbb]

25. Meryl Streep did a fabulous send-up of The Donald last summer

at a fundraiser. Put on a bodysuit, orange make-up, wig, and a long red tie pointing to (his) little dick. Really did a great
imitation. Trump undoubtedly was not amused.

[flamingdem]

31. Oh now she's going to get it!

He already had it in for her for sure

[Cha]

26. Thank you, Meryl Streep!

[flamingdem]

32. She's so classy

Trump will have a tough time dissing her lol!

[Jacob Boehme]

27. Yes, Old Fugu Fish Don will go all puffer on her of this!

Here's betting his first tweet says "Eat Me!"

33. Priebus probably rushed to his side to sooth him

to no avail I hope lol

[Docreed2003]

29. How sad that such sentiments as empathy and compassion...

Will be torn to shred by those on the right who see this beautiful statement as nothing more than a political statement. Empathy and compassion....may we all strive for that

[mdillen]

30. Live from Trump Towers another toilet tweet where he trys to act intelligent but impossible.

[ginnyinWI]

36. just a comment on the word "Sad."

This is a Trump word. He has started calling a lot of things, "sad" along with other terms out of his limited vocabulary. Please let's not catch the meme and start using it for everything. Please?

Other words used very often: "disaster", "disgrace", "terrific", "tremendous". If you think of any more, please add. It can creep into the unconscious and before we know it, we are all talking like that.

[flamingdem]

37. low energy, pathetic, looser

off the top of my head..

[ginnyinWI]

39. and...

things are "bad", or "very nice", "very special", "so serious".

Vocabulary of a ten year old.

[Duke Silver]

42. TrumPutin supporter Twitter outrage is delicious....

I find it bizarre that people get pissed because Meryl Streep dared to champion kindness, empathy & freedom of the press. If TrumPutin weren't such a cretinous fuck, there'd be no reason for commentary by people like her. Whatever. TrumPutin supporters can go hang. Way to go Meryl Streep! The ridiculous response on social media merely shows how cancerous are TrumPutin supporters.

[flamingdem]

46. The funny thing is that some of those twitter users are Putin's workers!

And the rest are so depraved they follow along with the false twitter accounts, talk about sheep

[TrekLuver]

49. TrumpPutin....Lollllllllllllllllllll OMG LOLLLLLL !!!

[Squinch]

43. ... AND there it is! Charles Pierce must be a psychic!

[Eugene]

44. "Over-rated"? Is that all you got, Donnie?

As surely as night follows day, Trump responds on Twitter.
Aside from waiting until 7 A.M., he was totally predictable.
Even the insults are recycled.

[malaise]

45. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
