I am glad more respected people are saying this. This isn't some little thing, what's happening now will define the rest of our lives. The US is running on credit.

He was on a chat show in the UK a few years back and went off about Trump. At the end of it, Graham Norton, the host, turned to the camera and said “and *that* was unscripted”

I don't watch Graham Norton regularly but every clip I have seen of his interviews he seems like an amazing interviewer. He gives the people space to talk and doesn't try to take up the room. Then he comes back with a one-line zinger that reminds you it still his show.

Also, I quite appreciate that it doesn’t have the life edited out of it- recently he called one of his guests by their character name a couple of times and the guest had to correct him

You gotta check into Graham more! He lets the guests have their time and space to talk, and to each other, and their stories as well. It’s so good

There are whole segments of various clips put together of trump haters….I remember Jennifer Saunders, Selma Hayek Justin Timberlake and Harry Potter

People need to wake up to the existential threat that the Republican party poses to the values of democracy. The SAVE Act is a Machiavellian power grab aimed to deny millions of Americans the right to vote. Wake up before it's too late!

De Niro has never been shy about hating Trump.

WaterlooMall Mar 20, 2026 +9
I'm 95% certain he only takes movie roles these days so that he can go on the publicity circuit and let the world know how if he legally could he would run over Trump with a car.

Just a couple months (or less) from Trump using nukes. That was the posted game plan.

I was thinking so also, yes that’s what happened. Do you think so? Yes, definitely a self-propelled response to a question asked by themself to self reply. That was funny, huh? Yes, it was.

Speaking to viewers, the Taxi Driver actor said, "I've played plenty of tough, scary guys in the movies — but you know what really scares the hell out of me? What the government, this government, our government, is trying to do is take away our right to vote." Stupid clickbait headline
237
greenslappy Mar 20, 2026 +17
Thank you, that should have been the headline. Gotta drive that sweet, sweet ad revenue, cant do that if there's no story to tell...so they had to obfuscate and get people thinking "DeNiro's known to be a pretty tough guy, why would he be scared? Guess i better click and see what the story is". No wonder people dont trust the media anymore, with trash headlines like this trying to turn a non-story into a story.

I know a number of 3x Trumpers. Three times! FoxNews tells them he's doing great. So, none of them are critical of him at all. C U L T

VariousExternal5189 Mar 20, 2026 +1
Through our votes in the mid term for one, a great anti trump march in Washington, like was done in the 60's and 70's

siencatimini Mar 20, 2026 +2
OK, but what if I told you that there will be no midterm elections, or the elections will be undermined in such a way that the results are compromised enough to cause chaos in the procedure, which provides yet another opportunity to curtail the already dwindling illusion of our civil liberties ?

VariousExternal5189 Mar 20, 2026
Life is precarious enough without worrying about things that as terrible and sickening that would be, we will have to see what happens then, while being prepared. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. faced the unimaginable but they moved forward with their protesting.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but both of those men were murdered for their efforts, so that's not particularly comforting. Nothing that's currently unfolding indicates that this administration would simply abide a defeat at the polls. Many nations, throughout the world, have found themselves in this situation, and the tyranny can last for decades on end. It looks like we're next.

VariousExternal5189 Mar 20, 2026 +1
True, and unfortunately the only way to fight evil is to have to lay down ones life. Either we take that risk or we sit and wait for it to happen to us

OK, thank you for clarifying. Death, now, or death, later. Those are the options on the table. Let's go!

Bob has nothing to lose. What are they gonna do, take away all his millions, his many homes, his residual revenue? I appreciate him speaking up. But he's in a low risk situation.

Why is he the president? Lol. Does america not have safeguards for top officials? Like if they are monsters, not following rules set for them, and making your country both a laughing stock and an extremely evil country.... why continue? Its clearly not good. Do Americans have no self respect or something? Do you honestly not give a shit that you are a big 3 evil country? Jesus f****** christ. I guess its too high and too much work to do something, so why not become an evil dictatorship and see what happens.

i-am_i-said Mar 20, 2026 +14
A large number of people here approve of what he’s doing. So it’s not just him, it’s his followers who are also monsters.

The billionaires, some of who are not even American like Murdoch and Musk, were able to break the system.

Glittering-Regret196 Mar 20, 2026 +4
So change the system, man. You have like 350 000 000 people, that's way more powerful than anything else. Or say its too big and wait to get worse.
4
travistravis Mar 20, 2026 +1
Half (or almost half) of those people have somehow been convinced that they have a chance at being a billionaire if they fall in line and work hard. It's difficult to change a system when a huge part of the people want it to stay as it is (or get more regressive).

The checks and balances they love so much have stopped both checking and balancing.

The checks became cheques and the balances grew. Just the wrong people benefitting.

The US has the capability to be the very best country in the world and the very worst. We’ve put a lot of our chips on the wrong numbers.

Rocktype2 Mar 20, 2026 +1
It’s easy for him. He’s got more money than most of us will ever see in multiple lifetimes. What’s the worst that happens to him? He faces a illegal battle of some sort? He can afford it. People wonder why the average person doesn’t speak up or advocate differently for themselves. Take a look at your bank account and see how much of a legal battle you could handle without being wiped out

Being an anti-vaccine advocate is a pretty monstrous act too, Bobby. You don't get to hop on your high-horse now. I wonder how many lives he's cost because of his nonsense?

So you definitely didn't vote for Trump, right?

youreusingyourwrong Mar 20, 2026 -2
I did. And I don't care what any celebrity says, regardless of whether I agree with their political opinion. I think Kid Rock is dumb. I think Rob Schneider is a marginal comedian. I could care less about Jon Voight. Hollywood is a dying industry. I am happy to see them go.
