George Clooney has been laying low in the film business recently. But he’s been getting more active politically. I told you a few weeks ago that he was donating $500,000 to the March 24th March for Our Lives. Now Clooney and John Prendergast have co-written an Op Ed piece for “Foreign Affairs” magazine on how to achieve peace in Africa.

In the piece, titled “The Key to Making Peace in Africa: Fighting Corruption Can Help End Conflict,” Clooney and Prendergast, the actor’s partner in The Sentry, a project of Clooney’s South Sudan effort called Not On Our Watch. write:

Well for crap sake. Who knew it was so simple an actor could figure it out. Someone get DJT on the phone stat! Hey georgie-----FU.

[SMARTY]

He’s the gnat on the buffalo’s a&^ ... and he thinks he has it figured out!

What a dumbass

[TallahasseeConservative]

We’ve been fighting corruption in Africa for decades, both through the State Department and the Military. The problem is even the “reformers” are corrupt after they get elected. It’s a cultural problem, not a political one. Our biggest problem in the ME, is that we did not understand the culture. We though once the Iraqis were rid of Saddam, they’d figure it out. But their loyalties lie to their tribes, branch of Islam and family, loyalty to the nation comes in around 6th or 7th place.

[Dr. Ursus]

Make Oprah!

[Old Yeller]

Hey Booker, get back to the warehouse. Roseanne’s tv sister
wants you.

[BobinIL]

Wonder if he will fly down to South Africa and stand with the white farmers that are being ethnically cleansed from their lands by the racist black majority?

“Every year, billions of aid dollars pour into Africa: taxpayers and donors around the world fund peacekeeping forces, state-building programs, humanitarian assistance, elections, and peace processes. But none of this support has been able to keep corrupt leaders and their network of beneficiaries from stealing billions of dollars.”

Wow. George Clooney has discovered that placing billions of dollars in to the hands of corrupt politicians is not the best way to prevent corrupt politicians from stealing billions of dollars.

He's a genius! A genius, I tell you!

Oh, Africa, Brave Africa.

It was a laugh riot.

On the one hand, I don’t think corruption can ever be eliminated anywhere 100%.

But if you wanted to reduce the current corruption in Africa, your best option would be to bring in some white colonial powers from Europe and put them in charge of everything. We’ve tried that before. It worked. Roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, industry, and much less corruption and tribal violence.

That’s your best option. Or you can enable the tribes to keep doing what they’ve always done. Which is to make their continent a chithole.

Rumor is that one of the high rollers regularly showing up at The Standard, perv hotel of West Hollywood, was Clooney.

this High Roller would show up with his “nieces” who never looked anything like him and were always dressed more scantily then Hooters waitresses.

This man had a special account for his hotel stays for which no records were kept.

they said it was Clooney.

[Lumper20]

He never graduated college. He has no business or econ background. His major was broadcast journalism.

[SMARTY]

It’s what you get when you throw exceptional-ism out the window.

Of course they DO love their ‘Oscar’ awards for doing well at ‘pretend’

Like the man said: “Depart from the book at your own peril”

[Lisbon1940]

These rumors are disturbing.

[gathersnomoss]

The “seasoned ladies” would welcome Cooney with open legs.

[Mastador1]

He never graduated college. He has no business or econ background. His major was broadcast journalism.

He's not brave But he's acted in the part of a brave person before.

He's not smart, but he's acted in the part of a smart person before.

He doesn't live his life in an environmentally friendly manner, but he feels he has the right to tell others how to live.

He makes millions of dollars through the portrayal of characters that use guns in a violent, illegal manner and surrounds himself and his family with armed security, but feels he has the right to tell others to live without guns.

He surrounds his home and family with a wall for safety but feels he has the right to tell the rest of America that we don't need a wall on our borders to protect us.

In other words George Clooney is a :

[himno hero]

He wants the money placed in corrupt muslim hands...that is his preference.
He’s like Obama. OIC all the way!

[bgill]

He’s turned into Mr. Know It All.

[Chode]

feh...

[nicollo]

So how many hookers times $130K hush money can Clooney afford? He did well in his tequila deal but he’s nowhere near Trump money — and he’s got a lot of tracks to cover.
