Yes, it might be photoshopped... I have no idea but I'd prefer to think not.

You can't get more Kentucky than George Clooney or John Prine. You can tell how much Turtle and Rand care about Kentucky by how well they are personally doing, as opposed to Kentucky. At least when Joe Manchin sells out for the yacht lifestyle, they really are his people he is selling out.

Not on his sofa, in his CLOSET! Now there's some grit and determination to succeed for you.

He also had to turn down invitations to go out with friends because he didn't have the money and didn't want to borrow from them. What a contrast with TFG: not wanting to borrow money!

One of my heroes. I wish he would run for president.

His dad, Nick Clooney was anchor for the Cincinnati news for decades.

As his son started to become famous and be mentioned in the media, I always did a double take as it was weird to hear "George Clooney" instead of "Nick Clooney"

Even today, living nowhere near Cincinnati I'll occasionally accidentally reference George as "Nick" and get funny looks.

"I just explain...sorry I always get him and his dad mixed up".

Been said before, he can't stand his followers. Besides that's he's non-ideological. Just out for himself.

George Clooney says America is 'like a battered child' after 'knucklehead' Trump's presidency and claims former President can't stand his own supporters in real life

…. …'He's gonna be a factor for a while.

'It's so funny because he was just this knucklehead, I knew him before he was a president. He was just a guy who was chasing girls. Every time you went out, he'd come over and be like: 'What's the name of that girl?' That's all he was.

'And the idea that there's this whole group of people that, you know, that they think he's the champion of which, he certainly can't stand in real life. He's gonna play this out for a while and we'll see where we go with it as a country. My hope is that we have a little better sense than to do that again, my hope.' ….

Award-winning actor and director George Clooney in a new interview on Sunday said he hopes the US will move past former President Donald Trump.

"He's going to be a factor for a while. It's so funny because, you know, he was just this knucklehead," Clooney said of Trump on the BBC's "The Andrew Marr Show."

"I knew him before he was a president. He was just a guy who was chasing girls. Every time you went out, he'd come over and be like, 'What's the name of that girl?' That's all he was," Clooney added.

Since he left office, Trump has stayed in the spotlight and tried to maintain his grip on national politics, with many GOP officials rallying around him and voters expressing their support for him as the party's leader. The former president has also repeatedly teased a 2024 run.
