1. Susan Sarandon is no Jane Fonda...

SS is just one total ball of arrogance and idiocy rolling down a mountain of dumbfuckery!

[Warpy]

2. So what the hell did she say/do now?

Twitter is typically unenlightening.

[Cha]

5. It's the 2nd to the last tweet.

[Warpy]

6. I'll pass, thanks, not interested in plowing through Twitter banality

to get to anything even marginally interesting.

Sarandon's an OK actress. Nobody hires her for her politics.

[Cha]

12. It's actually not banal.. it's brilliant!

[NurseJackie]

3. Oh! Sarandon is a Tulsi Gabbard supporter? That explains a lot. Also, I can now ...

... easily and confidently dismiss Tulsi Gabbard out-of-hand without further consideration of the matter.

If Susan Sarandon is for a politician or candidate, then it's safe for me to be automatically against them.

[Lucinda]

10. That IS the way it always seems to work out for me!

[uppityperson]

4. What did she do?

[Lucinda]

11. Does Susan Sarandon still think Trump could bring the revolution? (Chris Hayes interview tonight)

7. Thank you so much for this, Lucinda.. K&R!! i want it

out there what people think of SS.

She owns a chunk of trump.. and tulsu gabbard who is my Rep is full of shite.

Might know it was chris hayes who put her on.

[calimary]

22. Agree, heartily.

Maybe she's little more than one of those delusionals and deplorables who think it'll be okay if you just get fed up and burn everything down, presumably to "start over."

If you go that route, for real, you'd be lucky to find ANYTHING to start over WITH. Assuming you even survive it.

Revolution Shmevolution. Get your head out of the sand (or the clouds, OR your ass) and deal with what's REAL, practical, plausible, and DOable. Like Hillary wanted to do, for example. I'm no fan of either of 'em, Sarandon OR Chris Hayes.

[Cha]

24. Thank you for this, calimary! SS sits on $50 million bucks and

pontificates.. the rest of us poor schulbs have to feel the deadly barrage of the fall out.

The Planet will suffer mightily.. all over, not just our Country. And, the Environment will get much worse.. as well as a SCOTUS for decades.

Standing Rock had a chance with Hillary but this asshole just had to have trump so she has no room to speak about supporting the Native Americans.. she owns a chunk of trump.. she can stfu.

I think SS is jealous of Hillary.. Hillary is someone who actually cares about others.. SS cares about herself.

[workinclasszero]

29. That says it all Cha

Sarandon must be on Putin's payroll too.

The unwashed masses like me will suffer and die under Trump's republican jackboots while Susan decides which mansion she want to spend the summer in.

You may escape justice in this life Susan but you got a huuuuge load of karmic payback coming!

[Cha]

31. I believe in karma too, working.. from experience.

I was just discussing this on another thread regarding trump's karma.

I think he's getting some payback now as well as gathering more bad karma as we speak.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8658570

I'm for SS getting her karma sooner than later.. something needs to wipe smug off her face.

[Cha]

32. FYI.. that other thread is about "trump branded toilets in China"!

Zhong Jiye, a co-founder of Shenzhen Trump Industrial Co., demonstrates the use of one of his firm’s high-end Trump-branded toilets

[Mendocino]

37. Take a dump on a Trump

[Cha]

38. Catchy

[calimary]

44. Somehow I find this totally consistent...

[calimary]

46. Yeah, as many of the tweets point out - SHE'S gonna be fine.

Susan Sarandon is gonna be JUST FINE. Sitting all comfy-cozy on that pile of money and fame and breathing the rarified air at the top of the ziggurat.

SHE'S gonna be fine, come what may.

Meanwhile, the rest of America is going to have to scratch through the piles of ashes left over after the trumpeters and other assorted deplorables finally got their wish - to "burn it all down."

Suddenly Socialist Susan

[Cha]

25. Thank you for the additional Tweets against SS.. Music

to my eyes, Blue_Tires.

I hope her fucking show tanks.. like she helped tank the Planet.

Good folks to follow!

[JustAnotherGen]

30. Excellent Blue!

[calimary]

45. Did you see the one that admonished Chris Hayes

(paraphrasing) "please don't trot out Nina Turner now"?

No Freakin' KIDDING! Man did she ever grow tiresome.

[starshine00]

9. she's such a reactionary

and there is sadly a faction of the left these days that is very reactionary. I noticed one of the tweets posted downthread criticized her for supporting Bernie...the problem is not that, at least on my end it is her saying Hillary is worse than Trump. We know Bernie voted for Hillary, at least I can have reasonable suspicion that he did. And I am, being old, not at all as convinced as the millennials that Bernie would have won. Sure socialism may be more acceptable with the young but I am sure a whole different faction of folks would have turned out to vote against a socialist, probably people who didn't even show up to the polls this time, would have been energized to vote against Bernie (like my brother for instance) because of what socialism in their minds represents (regardless of the facts).

But I can't imagine on what mental planet a person must reside to believe that Hillary is worse than Trump. That's insane on any level, it is seeing Trump through a very distorted lens...perhaps something only a multimillionare would see.

[Lucinda]

15. "...it is her saying Hillary is worse than Trump..."

Exactly that!
AND she was hugely misinformed and repeated false things about Hillary.

[mvd]

18. I don't necessarily agree about Bernie losing, but..

that is for the old GD: Postmortem forum anyway. I do agree that Sarandon has gone goofy lately. I guess she's thinking about Hillary's stance on Russia? Hillary would have not gone to war with Russia. We did not even go to war during the worst of the Cold War. And she would have had intelligent people in charge. Meanwhile, Trump is actually friends with Russia and ruining our reputation worldwide. It's nonsensical to say Hillary is worse. Ridiculous.

[calimary]

27. I can't imagine that mental planet either. Just can't wrap my mind around that.

Whoever sincerely believes Hillary Clinton is somehow worse than trump - must just love being fed a steady diet of shit. Certainly they need their heads examined, as well as their menu.

[alarimer]

39. Living with that kind of privilege isolates you from what Trump can and will do.

She doesn't need the ACA, or a $15 minimum wage. And probably never visits National Parks or cares about climate change (until and unless her beach house falls into the sea due to sea level rise).

I think a lot of people (including me, probably) never took Trump that seriously. I assumed he had no chance to win. But that complacency hurt in the end.

The only silver lining I see is that people have finally gotten up off their asses. They are in the streets and on the phones like never before. It's about damn time; too bad it took a disaster for them to do so.

[starshine00]

41. did you hear her remarks to Chris?

your last paragraph is exactly how she justified her idiotic comments before the election, I'm assuming you missed that but she was literally saying what you are but kind of using it to excuse herself, saying, well, see, now people are awake and paying attention. I was like you, I never thought he had a chance but I never would have dreamed of voting third party even if there was a real candidate after what happened with Nader, I can't believe people still think this is a viable option.

[Skittles]

13. if Ms. Sarandon was hoping to repair her reputation

she failed miserably

[starshine00]

42. I so hope you are right.

I hope she has done permanent damage to herself. Because the damage is going to be permanent for the people/animals/plants/trees/water etc from this admin. I used to like her but this is in the 'unforgivable' category for me and I hope she suffers for it.

[Control-Z]

16. I yelled at my TV the way I yell at the maggot

and Kelly Conjob and that Stephen Miller guy that was on the Sunday shows this past weekend. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

I hardly ever cussed before the maggot. (My kids make fun of me when do. They say I don't know how to swear and not to bother even trying. Lol.) But I've been pretty nasty on DU lately. My apologies.

[Lucinda]

17. I cuss a lot and am pretty damn good at it, but this election

has certainly helped me hone my skills!

[3catwoman3]

20. The civility of my...

...vocabulary has definitely declined since November 8th.

[WhiteTara]

19. The one link I read was scathing.

I'm glad. So she has a series coming up. It will go on without me.

[Cha]

21. Scathing is good when directed SS' way.

Yeah I won't be watching anything of hers ever again.

[wcmagumba]

26. Me neither but...

I just might have to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show one more time...love me some Time Warp...

[wrenken]

23. I'm Sorry

I'm not following, maybe because I'm tired. I also don't have cable, but what did she do?

[Lucinda]

28. Chris Hayes interview...linked in the OP

[calimary]

43. Welcome to DU, wrenken!

I can't speak from experience on this particular moment, since I didn't watch it. We record that whole evening block in case we're not able to watch it. Knowing what I know about Sarandon's "politics" I passed on it.

But man, the tweets are devastating! Others here found her infuriating. Now, she evidently thinks there's still gonna be some kind of "revolution" via trump. It's pointed out in multiple tweets from people that - whatever happens, SHE'S gonna be fine. It's the rest of America that will have to scratch through the piles of ashes left over from the self-proclaimed "rebels" and "patriots" (COUGH! COUGH! AHEM!) who voted for trump because they wanted only to "burn it all down".

[betsuni]

33. Saranwrap says that when it comes to her, "analyzing and ... blaming people or who made mistakes

or what should've happened is really wasting your time and energy." There is to be no criticism of Susan Saranwrap. When it comes to Democrats, on the other hand, there is NEVER any lack of blame, detailing mistakes, what should've happened. That's different.

Here is what I took away from her interview: Obama and Hillary Clinton are status quo and this is always very very bad because, um, STATUS QUO and they did not listen when we told them what to do that one time; but Trump causes protests, there will be lots and lots of protests and lawsuits and now people are awake and how can you judge just by, like, a few weeks of Trump and media do not cover all the stories all the time (What do you DO all day anyway?).

Whut? It's like listening to an elderly teenager.

[Cha]

35. SS sits on her safety net of $50 Million bucks while families are

being torn apart and she's using stupid buzzwords like status fucking quo. The Planet will suffer.. and all its people. Standing Rock had a chance with Hillary and SS helped hand it over the trump.

Bullshit.. much better to have what works than some bullshit liar who said Hillary was worse than trump for her own stupid agenda.

Something needs to wipe that smug shit off her face.

[Vinca]

34. The GOP is always trying to equivocate their far right loonies with our crazy left.

Until I saw the Sarandon interview, I thought crazy left was just made up. She might desire noble end results, but she doesn't see the big picture at all. She doesn't seem to understand the damage Orange Hitler can do in a short period of time.

[highplainsdem]

36. She was smug, self-righteous & disgusting, and Chris Hayes should not have given her

that platform.

[Pisces]

40. Poor immigrant families are being separated as she speaks her garbage!! The epitome of

Rich, white girl privilege!
