Rule #1: Use enough gun |
Well, that's a relief... http://www.foxnews.com/enterta...x-our-democracy.html Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence said she is taking a year-long break from acting to focus on activism and helping to “fix our democracy.” The Hollywood A-lister revealed her grand future plans on Thursday while promoting her new movie “Red Sparrow.” “I’m going to take the next year off,” Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m going to be working with this organization I’m a part of: Represent.Us. It’s just trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level.” She claims her activism work will have nothing to do with partisan politics. “It’s just anti-corruption and stuff trying to pass state-by-state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy. And then I don’t know what I’m doing next.” The organization Lawrence got involved in claims to bring together “conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful anti-corruption laws that stop political bribery, end secret money, and fix our broken elections.” Its work focuses primarily on fighting corruption. Lawrence has long expressed interest in activism, attacking President Donald Trump multiple times. In 2015, she said “If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world,” according to Entertainment Weekly. More recently, she suggested the devastating hurricanes in Texas and Florida last year were signs of “Mother Nature’s rage and wrath” at America for electing Trump and not believing in man-made climate change. “You know, you’re watching these hurricanes now, and it’s really hard, especially while promoting this movie, not to feel Mother Nature’s rage and wrath," she said back in September. Lawrence also joined dozens of other Hollywood stars to sign a letter urging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to pass a legislation to protect DACA recipients, The Hill reported. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | ||

We're not a democracy, genius. We're a constitutional republic. How are you going to fix what you don't even understand? The arrogance of these halfwits. You're just an actor. That's all. You're just an actor. You aren't going to "fix" jack shit. Snap out of it. | |||

As the saying goes, "Well bless her heart". Yeah Jen...good luck with all that. Be sure to check your white privilege at the door!!  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

She's been acting? Huh, I mistook it for flouncing around saying "look at ma boobs" | |||
|
| Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Wow, if she can get that done in just a year maybe we should elect her to be the President (just kidding of course). They continue to amaze me by thinking that being good at playing pretend makes them a genius of some sort. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

This will be short lived. Once this imbecile moves away from the spotlight and realizes that it didn't follow her, she'll quickly abandon her mission to save us all | |||

Now in Florida |
It sounds grand and unassailable to say "fix our democracy" but the truth of the matter is that all she really means is "elect more democrats" BTW if she wants to really eschew partisan politics and help pass state-by-state laws to fix broken elections, I wonder how hard she will work to pass voter ID legislation??? | |||

She going to run around with her bow and arrow and root out all the corruption in the democratic party? These hollywood types living in their pretend worlds, most unstable, emotionally damaged and quite a few cards short of a full deck. Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

That's too bad. I actually like her. Seemed like a down to earth chick that you could get a shot and a beer with. Turns out she's just as loony as the rest of them.  | |||

It’s code for ‘nobody is hiring me right now so I will throw public tantrums until somebody does’. We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye Liberals are like pussycats and Twitter is Trump's laser pointer to keep them busy while he takes care of business - Rey HRH. | |||

Yeah, that M14 video guy... |
That's great! Once she starts her anti-corruption website we can send her all that inconvenient information on Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation. That ought to keep her busy; right? Tony.

Bad dog! |
Wonderful! I hope she will extend to a year and a half so she can also end world hunger. Or-- though we would miss her acting genius-- (she's an actress, right?)-- if she could make it two years and cure cancer we would all be so grateful. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I know it's trite and frowned upon here, but I really DID say "Who?" and then looked her up. AFAIK, I've never watched anything with her in it. Of course, her Barbie Doll looks (and, I suspect, matching intellect) certainly qualifies her to fix "our democracy". Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

No one will miss her. someone will simply take those jobs. | |||
