Robert De Niro told an awards ceremony a speech he was reading had been edited without his knowledge, removing critical comments about Donald Trump.

I don’t understand why people even care at all what celebrities think of politicians. Like, how is Mr. DeNiro qualified at all to even talk about it? That’s like me getting on live TV, and telling everyone my opinions on it. Nobody would care, because I’m not famous, bUt like… why do we care because he IS?
Because the monkeys that support Trump are the exact kind of people to hold actors in higher regard than they should be.
This shit isn’t rocket science, the logic is as easy to read as 1+1.
The article literally mentions John Wayne, one of the idols of the right. The dude was a bastard. Beat up his wives and girlfriends, cheated on his wives, skipped out on being an actual soldier in WWII because his movie career was taking off and like all the other bastards that suddenly decide their manhood should revolve around character they never built, he became a wannabe ever since. Just like modern day Arpaio and Nugent. Tough guys that dodged or made a big deal of minor service, one of which is an entertainer, has tv shows and sings. They were also perfectly happy to broadcast Eastwood talking to a chair when it suited them.
John Wayne was a nazi
And joey shithead was a drunk
If we havent changed thier minds by now, Robert DeNiro isn’t going to either…
Also, “1+1” without a sum, isn’t actually an example of logic… is it?
There are two types of people in this world:
You’ve made your own point. Truly brilliant 🤭
For many of us, we don’t care because he’s famous, but we hear it because he’s famous. He has a platform, and he chooses to use it! You’re getting dangerously close to “Shut up and dribble” territory.
Not a sportsballs fan so I don’t get your last part, except the word dribble probably means basketball, idk. All that aside, yes, I would absolutely fucking love it if celebrities stayed in thier lanes, assuming that’s the same idea as what you’re mentioning.
Will you please stay in your lane?
What the fuck qualifies you to criticize a celebrity online? Do you have any expertise in holding opinions or sharing them?
You’re an internet commenter, write about what you had for lunch and stop weighing in on shit you know nothing about. This isn’t the place for it, either.
/s
Now do you get it?
I’m not broadcasting on TV. It’s hardly a fair and equal comparison. Lemmy is a tiny shithole, my opinions here aren’t exactly echoing around the world.
Broadcasting on TV these days is less likely to reach a wide audience than posting on the internet, but a platform is a platform.
Consider how you might feel if your tiny opinions got picked up and went viral, but then the comments they quote from Lemmy were incomplete and left you looking like an idiot.
Sound cool to you?
Sooo…. Unless you are a politician, YOU should stay in YOUR lane. Because according to you, there’s no reason you should have an opinion.
Stay in your lane.
It’s a pretty infamous quote from Laura Ingram of Fox News. I don’t know why you and I are fine airing our opinion here, but if we were a celebrity, we should keep our opinions to ourselves. Taylor Swift is credited with driving voter registration, should she stay in her lane? What level of expertise do people need to be able to talk about politics?
Yes she especially should stay in her lane. And preferably just altogether stop in general.
We are starting to reach critical levels of irony
Clarify your tortuously muddled stance on celebrity opinions. I need to ask because of the subpar quality of your previous posts.
I’ll be honest, the history is full of takes I would expect from a conservative who hasn’t tried to explain the issues of the day.
Don’t really need to dig, experience has shown self-aggrandizers to have a chip on their shoulder, and not much else to provide.
Debate for the sake of debate, wasting everyone else’s time while they’re at it.
Why? And can you answer my other question: What are the requirements to be able to talk freely?
Holy shit you’re embarrassing. If anyone should stop altogether, it’s you- but unlike you, I accept that you have the right to speak your mind and share your opinion- and I wouldn’t stand in the way of this.
However, it doesn’t stop me from sharing my opinion that people like you should get a proper education before speaking publicly.
you’re the arbiter of the free market now, eh
This, but replace “DeNiro” with “Trump”.
