I Didn't Say It ...

Chris Webber, NBA All-Star player and TNT analyst, fought back tears while reading a statement on the Milwaukee Bucks refusal to play in protest of the shooting of unarmed black man Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin:

“I’m very proud of the players. I keep hearing about next steps, next steps. I don’t really care what the next steps are because the first steps are to garner attention. They have everybody’s attention around the world now. We know it won’t end tomorrow. We know there have been a million marches, and nothing will change tomorrow. We keep hearing vote. ‘Everybody vote.’ But I’m here to speak for those who are always marginalized. Those that live in these neighborhoods, and we tell them to vote, and then we just walk away. If not, now when? If not during a pandemic, when countless lives are being lost—if not now when? We know nothing is going to change. We get it. Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and risked his life. Medgar Evers. We’ve seen this—all of our heroes constantly taken down. We understand it’s not going to end. But that does not mean young men, that you don’t do anything. Don’t listen to these people telling you, ‘Don’t do anything because it’s not going to end right away.’ You are starting something for the next generation and the next generation to take over. Do you have to be smart? Yes. Do you have to make sure you have a plan? Yes. Do you have to be articulate about that plan? Yes. All of those things.”

Take a stand.

Shout it out.

Cast a goddamned vote.

Miles Taylor, former DHS official—who is now supporting Biden—on _____’s vision of The Wall:

“He wanted to maim them and tear-gas them and shoot them. And I’m not even being hyperbolic. So we sat in a meeting one time… where he was talking about how he wanted us to design the border wall, and one day the focus was on the spikes, and he was really upset because from the pictures we were showing him of the steel bollards — he said the spikes aren’t sharp enough.”

_____ is a sad little boy who thinks killing people, maiming people, especially People of Color, makes him tough.

It makes him look pathetic.

Tucker Carlson, Fox News Racist, defending white Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old _____-supporting vigilante who murdered two people in Kenosha as they protested the police shooting of Jacob Blake:

“Kenosha has devolved into anarchy because the authorities in charge of the city abandoned it. People in charge from the governor of Wisconsin on down refused to enforce the law. They stood back and watched Kenosha burn. So are we really surprised this looting and arson accelerated to murder? How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would? That’s not Iran, it’s Wisconsin. It could have been a dozen other places in the country. The violence has been building unabated for three months now. Every day the mob becomes more radical. Our leaders want us to believe this is all a racial conflict, they’re always telling us it is, but they’re lying. It is not a racial conflict. At its deepest level the chaos they have unleashed has very little to do with race. Most Americans are not bigots. Unlike CNN, they’re not fixated on skin color, they don’t really care, most of them. What you watch is more sinister than that. What you are watching is an effort by the academic, left funded by big business, to crush the last remaining resistance to their control of the country and that resistance is an independent American middle class. That’s who they really hate. This is not a race war. This is a class war.”

Keep in mind that Fucker Carlson called Jacob Black a ‘thug’ and Kyle Rittenhouse a ‘patriot,’ so, yeah, there’s no racism here. As long as cops and white kids are killing the right people.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California, and anti-_____ Republican, on the 2020 election:

“For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for President. But as proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label I hold above all else … American. So, I want to take a moment to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party, it’s your duty.”

Don’t think the GOP, as long as _____’s around, will ever do anything for their country.

Right now, those who goose-step along, are traitors and every single one needs to be voted out of office.

Maryanne T. Barry, in recorded converstaion,on her vile sibling:

“The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit. ... It’s the phoniness of it all. Donald is cruel. All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my god, if you were a religious person, you’d want to help people. Not do this.”

Maryanne can say those things because she’s not on the payroll … like his mail-order wife and his Demon Spawn.

Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay presidential candidate to earn delegates in a major party, speaking at the DNC last week:

“The very ring on my finger—a wedding we celebrated right where I’m standing—reflects how this country can change. Love makes my marriage real, but political courage made it possible—including that of Joe Biden, who stepped out ahead of even this party when he said that marriage equality should be the law of the land. Now, in 2020, it is unlawful in America to fire anyone because of who they are or who they love. If so much can change between 2010 and 2020, imagine what 2030 could look like. I trust Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to guide this nation toward that better future, because I have seen their commitment, and their empathy, up close. And I trust the capacity of America to grow more inclusive, because I have lived it.”

We have changed the world in the last decade and we can continue to do it. And change it for the better, and not only for the rich and self-entitled and the old, white, straight men.

Cast.A.Goddamned.Vote.
