#1 Everything is about 'money and power' and the struggle is not limited to politics.

#4 He's not wrong.
It's really pretty simple, actually. Look at the collusion and the conspiracy -- that's the word that TIME magazine's scribe chose to describe it -- of this nation's wealthy and powerful to destroy Trump last year. Four individuals spent about $1 billion out of their own pockets to ensure that

- third-world and Tammany-style electoral shenanigans would evade scrutiny and rig the count for Biden in dozens of Democrat-dominated big cities -- this was the aim of Zuckerberg's $500 million spend

- tens of thousands of released felons would have their fines paid and then be registered (and instructed) to vote for Biden in Florida, supposedly tipping the balance there and in the Electoral College -- this was the focus of Bloomberg's $200 million spend

- over $100 million spent by Soros to elect far-left, pro-criminal, cop-hating Communist DAs in dozens of major US cities

- $200 million blown by Steyer on attack advertising against OrangeMan

A BILLUON DOLLARS. From just four individuals. That level of spending to pervert the democratic process has never happened in our history.

The only remotely comparable precedent is from post-Soviet Russia in 1996, when the billionaire oligarchs who looted that country during privat piratization rigged the election to ensure their sick alcoholic patsy Yeltsin would prevail over the Communist Party candidate Zyuganov.

We've become more corrupt than even Yeltsin's Russia.
"Unity" - LOL

#5 Barkley is pretty smart in the way he goes about saying what he thinks. He's been pretty vocal for years now about common sense things.

#7 I used to watch the Suns. back then, a young Barkley made the news by saying "I'm not a Role Model, I'm a basketball player"

He has always been true and he is the funniest man in sports.

#8 Charles speaks the truth. It's all about greed for money and power.

#9 Last time I went to an NBA was Dominique Wilkins going up against Barkley as a 76 at the Omni

What a show!

#10 Who would prefer a communist over anyone? Communists are mass murderers.

#11  Communist Party candidate Zyuganov

Hardline Communist who didn’t want to give up the Soviet Union, chairman of the Communist Party, came out of the propaganda department. Just what Russia needed at that point, fer shure.

/sarc.

#12 Funny how you can wear/display a hammer & sickle or Ché all day every day, but a swastika? No way in Hades. Both repulsive. Time for a Black Book of Communism mention.
