Matthew Mcconaughey...

Go Fuck yourself...I’ll never” embrace" Donald Trump..And I hope your comments end your career.I implore everyone to boycott his new movie” Gold" and never never pay a single dime to see any of his movies again.

I remember that before the invasion of Iraq at the oscars, he was one of the few that supported the invasion.. I have hated him ever since..

This sucks. Hell of an actor.

4. Hmmm. Actually...

I think he meant the folks on either side of the divide should "embrace" (do some damn thing to "heal" the divide) and come to terms with the fact that DT is President. Asinine, certainly, but not exactly a call to "embrace Trump."

Andrew Marr asked if the "cultural elite of America" should give Trump a "break," McConaughey responded,

"Well, they don't have a choice now, he's our President." He added, "It's very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration and time that we've ever had. At the same time, it's time for us to embrace and shake hands with this fact and be constructive with him over the next four years."

McConaughey urged Trump's critics to "see what he does compared to what he has said" during the campaign

.


I'm still not gonna recommended True Detective, or any of his films, to anyone else. But he sounds like he's the idiots who don't like the things that come out of Trump's mouth, but think "he doesn't really mean it" and "he won't be as bad in office." It was all theater, blah, blah.... I've hear similar sentiments from people who aren't totally off the deep end.

Translation: I know shit about policy and I know shit about what either party has been doing for the last couple decades. But, I hear that both sides are to blame so, you know, we should give him a chance since he won.

Earth to Mathew. Just because you're a pothead doesn't make it all right to be oblivious to what's going on in your government.

6. Thanks for this, buster.. I remember him supporting the bogus War on

Iraq and wearing something to the Academy Awards to denote it.

I thought maybe he had wised up since then.. after all the shit that has gone down. I know I saw a movie in the DVDs @ netflix with him in it.. and I just passed on it. Wasn't feeling it and this is before I knew this.

I have to wonder about someone who knows all the shite about trump and still supports him.

Reading what he's saying now @ the link.. I can only conclude.. "god he's fucked up."

You "embrace trump", idiot.. hang with Stephen Baldwin, jon voight, james woods and all the other fucked up trolls for trump.

There comes a time when you must choose sides. Time has run out for Trump he is long past redemption. Wake up before you have to crawl out of a bomb shelter.
