De Niro apologizes to Canada for "idiotic behavior" of Trump

TORONTO — Robert De Niro is apologizing to Canadians for the "idiotic behavior of my president" a day after the actor launched an expletive at Donald Trump at the Tony awards.

1. A trump aide said trump doctrine was this is America bitch and fu@@ Obama where's the media outrage

[lame54]

3. They used it up on Rosanne and Sam Bee...

It's nap time now

[lame54]

2. He's a Goodfella eh?

[sandensea]

4. While I empathize with the sentiments, de Niro isn't helping.

Insults, however well-deserved, just give your opponent something to use against you.

[angstlessk]

5. De Niro ain't runnin for office

He is expressing his own opinion, and if you think the deplorables gain an inch, I very much doubt it

[Paladin]

6. As if good behavior counts for ANYTHING with the trump regime.

DeNiro speaks for me.

[ooky]

8. Me too.

[Rorey]

10. The compilation of -45's foul language at rallies would be appropriate about now

Deplorables have nothing to be outraged about because their idol already said all of those words in a public setting.

De Niro speaks for me too.

[tblue37]

21. On his show Friday Maher did a compilation video of Trump's potty mouth. nt

[Beartracks]

30. "No, no! Dems are supposed to be NICE!" cries the school bully.

[Paladin]

41. The same cry comes from goody-two-shoes Democrats.

We can't afford to be wimps any more. Way too much is at stake.

[Ohioboy]

12. Usually I'd agree with you, but...

something about what de Niro did just seemed very appropriate. Sometimes you have to speak their language to get their attention.

[Snotcicles]

35. passivity is passe nt

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. See this is just not the case anymore

If and when any of them fiegns shock and publicity rages about it, all it does is reveal all the more how hypocritical they are. And remind everyone that the bar was set so low already by their locker room talking puppet.

[tavernier]

15. He's helping me!

We have been spit on and cursed on and sold out to the nearest enemy who wants us to be humiliated and denigrated in the eyes of the world., and it’s DeNiro who is giving them the ammunition??? Are you mental????
(Ok, put me in chains and drag me away for being mean)
But REALLY? We should shut up???

[Paladin]

18. Well said.

When trump and his Stupid People base establish a dictatorship, will good manners count for much of anything? People like me used to be accused of being alarmist---now, I can't even keep up with the pace at which this once-proud country is being taken into the authoritarian toilet. How about we all wake up, look around, and see what a shitload of trouble we're in?

[greyl]

19. Bullshit, don't believe that spin.

It had a cathartic and moralizing effect to everyone who feels the same way.
It should be said more often.

[Cha]

38. Exactly.. BULLShit spin!

[rufus dog]

20. Fuck them

FUCK THEM

This is why we lose, lame ass apologies.

These people fucking hate liberals, they hate gays, they hate blacks, they hate mexicans, THEY HATE!

This is why the Trumpies can put up with his BS, because he hates all the same people he hates.

You better be prepared to start figuratively punching these assholes in the nose. Because they don't understand anything else.

[JI7]

22. They are fucking supporting trump . Good behavior means nothing to them

[bdamomma]

26. Good means nothing to them

Period.

You don't see those filthy repigs or trump followers saying their sorry for a fucked up mess we have presently. We won't shut up either and we shouldn't apologize either.

[SayItLoud]

25. I disagree time to fight fire with fire but with

FACTS.

If we don't get out the VOTE and VOTE and help the displaced Puerto Rican's in Florida register and VOTE we keep what we got and it will get MUCH WORSE!

[lunasun]

29. He got people off thier ass applauding and came in to many screens and TVs with that message

Yes, people said fuck hitler after nazism spread and the war .
Let's have people who are listened to say it before fascism gains anymore ground in the US
Imo
I admire his ballsy frankness and let's face it it wasn't something he wanted to do 5 yrs ago or looked forward to having his time at the Tonys be about what's happening
One can't plan for when you have to just go ahead and do what you feel when you see something wrong

[SunSeeker]

36. The word fuck exists to be hurled at scum like Trump.

This is no time to be saving it for a special occasion.

[47of74]

39. And this milquetoast stuff is why we lose

It’s time to stop bringing slingshots to Star Destroyer fights and being Death Stars instead.

We’re dealing with people who want us dead and I’ll be dammed if I’m going to worry about their feelings.

If people don’t like my attitude that’s what the ignore button is for here.

[brush]

42. Seriously? I second De Niro's words. FUCK TRUMP!

He's a total embarrassment to the country and it can't be said enough.

[rainin]

7. LOL, you got me. Go De Niro! You made my day.

[George II]

9. I've apologized to my relatives in Toronto several times.

[Flaleftist]

11. Good one.

[stuffmatters]

14. This should be the standard Trump apology from now on. Apologize for him not to him.

[Blue Owl]

16. Ha!

Love ya Robert!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

17. You had me worried!

[MariaCSR]

23. You scared the hell outta me LOL

[Honeycombe8]

24. DeNiro....he's the man! Love him. nt

[CentralMass]

27. Well done Mr. De Niro

[LSFL]

28. Apologize for Meet the Fockers.

Or as I call it "Meet the Paychecks " lol. Whatever Robert. You do you man.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

34. Apologize for "Rocky and Bullwinkle"

I mean, seriously, Bob? What were you thinking?

[lunatica]

31. The word 'fuck' is like a pearl

The more you use it in one sentence, the longer the string of pearls.

[luvallpeeps]

33. Pearls...

I thought you going to refer to casting them before swine

[oasis]

32. DeNiro my hero!

[Cha]

37. Whew.. you had me going there.. gratuitous! I
