Some people will freakin complain about anything.
Who was it that said this just 72 days ago?

Never fear however, Trump has Chachi.
Oh wait....that would be you.
So explain how you can have the complete 180 degree turn in opinion in just 72 days. Did you have a sudden change of heart and if so why? Or is it standard Fitbud say one thing today and something totally different tomorrow?
My opinion has not changed in the least. I still don't know who cares if celebrities voice their political opinion.

Oh and that's just one of many threads you made mocking Trump about Scott Baio. If you don't care then why did you make such a big deal about it?

So at this point you are going to admit that you were wrong about the significance of celebrities endorsing Hillary and that you were wrong to mock Scott Baio right? I mean if your entire multi-post across multiple threads mock jobs was because he was in the "jump the shark" episode of Happy Days then it's only right that you admit that the only person who "jumped the shark" on this matter was you.

I was not wrong about the significance of celebrities supporting Clinton because there were a lot of them. That is a fact.
I was not wrong to mock Scott because he was a B actor who made his fame saying Wah wah wah.
I will admit that I was wrong when I said that Trump would not win the election.
It's ridiculous to say however that I was the only one who jumped the shark when only about three people in this forum actually were unwavering in their belief that Trump would win.

FIFY.
Those were a given so the fix wasn't needed. Lots of people are lazy and/or ignorant and just prefer to let others do the thinking for them whoever the "others" are.

Springsteen can be a genius musically...sometimes. But politically he is a microbrain. I have to overlook the drivel.
Of course Duck Commander guy and Ted Nugent can join him in silence.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not get carried away. He's definitely A-list, but he's down there with Channing Tatum IMO.
I don't know if he's ever been in a movie where he was in the Top 5 acting talent in a particular cast.
He's the Sam Bradford of movies. Despite being limited he keeps getting top jobs for top money for no particular reason.
The Departed and Boogie Nights come to mind, and I've always thought he's a great comedic actor (which is very difficult imo).
I agree with his comments, but let's not pretend he doesn't know where his bread is buttered. He's no avant-garde Shakespearean actor who's primary audience is a left-leaning hipster, he's mostly been an action and comedy guy (with the acting chops to do some serious roles pretty well) targeted a lot moreso to a right-leaning demographic. Throw in the fact he's been in Hollywood long enough to be on the producing side of the business, and his career really isn't at risk here. Doesn't make him wrong for putting this on record, but I'd be really impressed if this were said by some of the art house types who would seriously risk their careers for saying something like this.

RE: Mark Wahlberg Thinks Celebrities Need to Shut Up About Politics
The Walhburgs came up very hard scrabble, 8 kids in a home run by a single mom.
Even if they have risen above it they still remember very tough times.
Both Mark and Donnie are active in Boston doing charity work in the area they grew up in so while they may not live paycheck to paycheck any more they still have friends that do. They both work long hours and have multiple businesses and projects in the works. They understand that its hard work not handouts that got them ahead.
Really pretty impressive.
Still can't figure out the marriage of Donnie Wahlburg to Jenny McCarthy but the heart wants what the heart wants I guess.

In Boogie Nights he probably wasn't even top 8. Julianne Moore, John C Reilly, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, William H Macy, Heather Graham are all miles ahead of him.

Eh, I'd disagree with Graham and Reilly, the other ones I'll give you for sure. Love that movie though, a fantastic piece of film making, politics aside.
