Clint Eastwood is an actor, musician, filmmaker, entertainer, and politician. It is actually more portend to say that Clint Eastwood is a legend. Made his debut on the screen in 1954 and has been on up to December 2019. For a career so long and an artiste so successful, one post, one blog post, one image, just one does not seem to do it for him, do justice for a career and a personality this magnitude. But we will do it. It is the intention that counts. With 17 Clint Eastwood quotes there should be one that should stand out. This one stands out for me: “I voted against that incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, insincere, double-talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific and economic moron currently in the White House!” You too. Or many.
We go.

Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”

Now you hear these talk shows, and everyone who believes differently from you is a moron and an idiot – both on the Right and the Left.”
