Kirstie Alley’s at it again. The former actress had everyone talking for all of five minutes over the weekend when she announced she’ll be voting for Donald Trump on November 3.
“I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump because he’s NOT a politician,” Alley tweeted Saturday. “I voted for him 4 years ago for this reason and shall vote for him again for this reason. He gets things done quickly and he will turn the economy around quickly. There you have it folks there you have it.”

Shortly after writing the tweet, Alley’s name briefly trended on Twitter.
Most people didn’t respond well to her endorsement…
How about we take this to the next level?

How many times do you have to vote for someone before they are a politician?

Actually, he’s running for RE election
He’s a politician
Also, strange argument

Well my vote for Biden canceled yours out. I have done my civic duty of the day.

Of course, getting everyone fired up was the whole point of Alley’s tweet. Pissing people off is the only way she knows how to draw attention anymore. And yet, amazingly, nobody’s more surprised by the negative response than the former actress herself.

In a follow-up tweet, Alley wrote: “Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much name-calling in my life. Definitely not on my site here anyway I guess I’m not allowed to have a viewpoint without being called a really nasty names by what I’m going to suppose are really nasty people.”

Alley’s career hit a brick wall in 2016 after she endorsed Donald Trump for president. In 2019, she briefly made tabloid headlines when she spoke out against Hollywood for not being more inclusive of MAGA cult members.

Mister P
Great picture. She looks as pathetic as her endorsement.

Well said.

I’m not going to say she’s essentially turned into Alf but seriously, if you have served as President of the US for four years, you are a politician. Don the Con is not a competent leader or president or politician, but he is a politician.
He is also a sociopathic cult leader who sees no problem conspiring with hostile foreign countries, coddling dictators, cratering the US economy, pouring trillions into the coffers of billionaires and global corporations, stuffing his and his greedy children’s pockets with taxpayers’ money through every means possible including being a tax cheat, enabling gross corruption all around him, running through staff like someone with diarrhea uses tissue paper, lying as readily as most people breathe, promoting racism, sexism, homoophobia and transphobia, shattering the US’s standing in the world, turning the earth into a kiln, and creating the conditions that have lead to 220,000+ Americans dying of and 8 million sick with Covid-19 when even modest preventive steps and a semi-competent response could have mitigated the ongoing disaster we’re facing.
He is the worst president in the history of the United States. And yes, he is a politician, Kirstie!

You took the words right out of my mouth. And let’s not forget how he’s stacked the courts with right-wing judges who are determined to turn the clock back to 1950.

Kirstie is dead to me. No redeeming value any more. Tragic. Stupid. Fat.

I’m surprised this article is ignoring the fact that because of this, Shelley Long trended on Twitter for several hours.

I keep seeing these posts and get SHOCKED. James Woods, Jon Voight, Ted Nugent and I’m like YIKES! I thought they were all dead! I mean, I know Herman Cain is dead and he’s still got a Twitter feed so just seeing stuff like this doesn’t rule out that they are actually still alive?
Does it?
Well, like Scott Baio, we know their their careers are dead for sure so it’s just a Doctors call about the body. Where’s Dr. Atlas when you need him.
Oops, better get someone more qualified.

Wealthy people tend to vote for Trump because he is better for them financially and economically. If I didn’t have any money or securities I’d vote for Biden.
DarkZephyr
So if Biden wins he’s gonna make all the rich people poor? Somehow I truly doubt that.
rbernard
Kirstie who?
jonasalden
They chose a shitty picture of her! Of course I’m remembering her from the eighties, so…
Troysky
@jonasalden …haha, true. Well, she has good hair. Anyway, this woman is off-the-chart psycho. I read a gossip thing years ago when someone unearthed letters from her to her prior husband and published them “I will destroy you” she literally wrote to the continuously cross-eyed “Parker Stevenson” ….nasty nasty bitch. Yikes. And her legal divorce records were so hostile against him – those were published too. It was as over-the-top as she is. She could say the sky is blue and I’d have a hard time believing her.

The leaders of Scientology are Trump supporters, and they have ordered whatever public people are still members to support him.
Alley is representing Scientology and if proven, should negate their tax exempt status.
Max
the only thing Trump got done quickly was destroying everything he touches.
whenever a Trump supporter says he did great things, what evidence of it they see of that versus their hatred of anything democratic? are they so lazy they’d just believe whatever he (or any other figurehead) tells them he accomplished? they’re ignoring his long history of being a snake oil salesman in a cheap suit.
cuteguy
Its ironic that she’s complaining about the insults she’s receiving yet she’s endorsing someone who’s never stopped himself from insulting others.
