George Clooney Signaling Political Move– He and Wife Amal Donating $500,000 to March (T)

George Clooney continues his charitable giving– now half a million dollars to the March for Our Lives. He and wife Amal will make an appearance at the gun control rally. Clooney is an ardent supporter of civil rights in places like Sudan with the still-going Not On Our Watch (They are still giving hundreds of thousands of dollars there to protect the South Sudan). But this may signal a new political move by him by actual going to Washington DC on March 24th.

Clooney– thanks to the sale of his Casamigas Tequila company for $1 billion– now has the money to put behind causes he and Amal believe in. So this is a big deal but not uncommon for an actor who is passionate about the right causes.They gave $1 million last year to the Southern Poverty Law Center. And they’ve said that in total they will donate $21 million to various causes.

George and Amal’s appearance at March for Our Lives will be key to this movement. He won’t be speaking, however: his rep says only “kids” will be speaking at this event, no adults.

Will Clooney run for president? Last fall when he was promoting “Suburbicon,” Clooney said this: “Would I like to be the next president? Oh, that sounds like fun. Can I just say that I’d like anybody to be the next president of the United States. Right away, please,” he joked.

Well, a fool and his money as they say. He's apparently a strong supporter of civil rights. Well some of them. Wonder why he won't donate anything to one of the biggest civil rights organizations in the country. You know, the NRA. So, jorge, you gonna turn down any future rolls where you are required to use a firearm? Come on. You know you can do it. After all, it's for the chirruns.

Clooney can spend his money any way he wishes. He’s still an ignoramus.

Where was his half mill when Kathryn Steinle was shot by an illegal alien using an illegally possessed gun?

It’d be great if he ran, so we could finally stop pretending he’s anything other than a bubbleheaded silverspoon lightweight. And his wife looks like Huma.

Are you kidding me? This buffoon has been dead in the water for the last five years. He has not made a movie in years that was successful. However, if he wants to run for POTUS...be my guest, deadbeat. Clooney is nothing but a failed “has been” that now dreams he is a “wannabe” in the eyes of the American people. He is in for a rude awakening, that he is not so loved and adored as he thinks he is. Crawl under the nearest rock...deadbeat.

My old Triumph 750 Bonneville had Amal carburetors on it when I purchased it. They were terrible. I replaced them with a pair of Mikunis.

It would really be nicer and less hypocritical if Clooney stopped all action movies that have guns in them. Look at how he has prospered—able to donate $500K to salve his moral outrage-—from movies that send a different message about guns.

“Not On Our Watch” must have been looking the other way when all the genocide under the obama administration was going on.

These dropout hypocrites can rot.

Broward County schools and rhe FBI made this possible, not guns. But this is 2018 and there’s an election...and they finally found the perfect astroturf to get the kids to the polls

He’s never been elected to anything and plays make believe for a living while shielding sexual predators.

So yeah, makes sense he would run.

I’m watching Team America in his dishonor.

The useful idiots are already selected and well practiced.

Cruz gave plenty of warning and was practically begging for somebody to stop him.

When Hollywood folks no longer are on front page or desired they head for politics because the same drive to be seen and heard is in both......egos are same.....limelight is the same.

They’re using kids like they use people with illnesses to speak out as a shield against disagreement.

Clooney wanting to run for President has been crystal clear for about 6 months.

He has now fully stamped this as a Leftist-sponsored rally. Half a million means he owns it; he owns what those kids say; he owns what those kids do.

At least Soros knows to wash his money 2 or 4 times before it gets to the Socialists.
