The Hollywood actor is a prominent donor to the Democratic Party in the United States. In recent years, that has regularly led to criticism from President Trump, who has called him a “second-rate movie star,” among other things. According to Clooney, it didn’t bother him much. “It’s not my job to keep the President of the United States happy.”

    It’s so nice to know he made his bag on the backs of American labor and American consumers, and he can now just leave.

    Must be nice to be given everything playing make believe, throw a couple bones to the manufactured opposition, then say nah I’m done. I don’t want my kids growing up in the country that literally made me and afforded me the privilege to just leave when shit really starts to matter. Congrats on that.

      You’d leave in a fucking second if you could. And if you wouldn’t, you’re not paying attention. Stop trying to find ways to be pissed off about shit like this and instead direct your energy towards the actual fucking problem.

      It’s like people here WANT to be pissed off at everything.

        Yes I would. It is understandable, but also frustrating as fuck to see those with more means to effect positive change in this country just giving up and walking away, money in hand.

        I don’t want to be pissed off. I am just absolutely sick of the privileged few getting whatever they want in life, while the rest of us are left to fight amongst ourselves over the scraps.
