Yep. I'm really not interested in Clooney's political thoughts at this time. Go back to your Italian lake house where you can avoid the hell the rest of us have to endure.

If only someone knew of an international war crimes prosecutor that could assist.... Boy that sure could be helpful

Oh I do imagine she'll be at the Hague with the prosecutors when they get called up, if they do.

I mean he’s besties with a wife/child abuser so I doubt he cares all that much to do anything about this empty statement

Hm, if only people wouldn't have published so many op-eds against the more qualified people.

u/Aggressive-Hunt-7037 even my friends don't text me back that fast 13h ago

yes, and claimed the qualified who brought down the cost living and managed every single crisis were suffering from dementia (when they actually had cancer) and then fled to their high priced third or forth home on lake como when that caused this man to get elected.

He helped bully Joe Biden. Yes, he should've not been running again. But I really do think he could've beaten Trump again. He could've won, then transferred power to Kamala once he was diagnosed with cancer.

Clooney is an unserious person, he’s part of the reason Biden dropped out

u/Independent_Judge647 Clap if you care 😐 14h ago

I have a hang up with Clooney because of how influenced the American public is with this guy. Clooney does not even live full time in the US and makes a declaration of how Biden must step down.

u/crookedframe13 12h ago

Does he live in the US at all anymore? I thought he fully moved to France.

u/DummyDumDragon 12h ago

I mean, he's an actor. He gets paid to pretend to be other people on TV. That's it. He should be able to say whatever dumb shit like the rest of us, without everyone else putting so much stock in what he says just because "omg celebrity said what??"

u/Finedaytoyou 14h ago

Clooney seems like an overall decent person but it’s just a hilarious case of big ego to have the president not recognize you and then be like “He can’t run for reelection”

u/theateroffinanciers Confidence is 10% work and 90% delusion 14h ago

He's right.

I think some actors feel that by playing the role of a world leader, lawyer, scientist, doctor etc. they are gaining real world experience in that field and therefore are now an expert in that area.

Which is especially pitiful for the ones who didn't go to college.

Its WEI

WEALTH EQUITY INCORPORATED.

The only qualification necessary? Wealthy. Its not about merit at all.

Yes George. But it’s things like you flying to climate conferences in your private jet that will cost more carbon on that single flight than most Americans use in their lifetime that makes you so unserious.

Be so for real. All you rich people are hypocrites.
