Listened to his politics one time. That was back early in his career in the movies on one of the television talk shows. It was about the same time I put my television out into the parking lot of my apartment building, in 1974, so he may have mellowed in his views since, though I doubt it. Typical anti gun Hollywood bigmouth.

Any more, I largely discount Hollyweird bloviations. I used to do a pretty quick and dirty semantic analysis of their movie lines and themes, both for meaning and for emo content. https://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-semantics.html

Oh ok, ok.
I can't put him in the category with Jane though. Maniac, that chick. I thought you meant he had made some real whack statements about stuff the way she has.

To each his own, no problem. But I got plenty other "stars" I'd skip watching (for example - Deniro, such an amazing actor but now has zero support from me).

Sly has never really taken a hard stance on anything enough to have much effect. So I call him indifferent, more than anything. He could be viewed as "just don't care" which doesn't say a lot for his status as a patriot in most of our minds here.

I'll put this here just for some recent commentary he has made.
While I believe he thinks it's funny that a lot of folks ASSUME he is a republican, he makes no effort to sway anyone to believe he is liberal either. He didn't vote last election, and says he ain't gonna this time.

Stallone is the ultimate Hollywood hypocrite. In fact, I can't think of another actor that's made as many movies full of gun violence, yet feels so strongly that the people shouldn't own guns. Literally no one comes to mind. That guy is exactly what our enemy looks like.
Think you posted this as i was typing my response. Same thoughts

I disagree about Deniro, he’s a one trick pony. All his movies, from comedy to drama, he plays the same character.

SLJ needs a rope for the things he's accused my people of. Funny thing about accusations- sooner or later the folks being falsely accused stop giving a fuck and embrace the things they are accused of.

It's gonna be such an awesome day when the wasps step off the porch to free this country.
