Actor John Cusack introducing Bernie Sanders in Exeter, N.H. this afternoon:
CUSACK: "The billionaires are getting nervous and all the corporate media is — they hate us, they don’t hate us, they're confused. And it seems like every conceivable power structure on earth is trying to kill or derail our movement, but we’re still here.
“We know this form of capitalism takes and takes; it takes whatever, whenever, however it wants. It’ll take our lives, it’ll take our labor, our spirit, our air and water, even our earth.
“And Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth: We have a ten to twelve year window to radically transform our energy systems, or climate change, predatory capitalism, and endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all.
“And as we can see literally every day, the house is on fire. But as Bernie tells us, this is no time for despair, it's no time for anything but action. Because if we stand together, with him, the future is still indeed unwritten. And there’s nothing more powerful than a movement whose time has come. We have never had a movement candidate this close to power with a revolutionary movement he’s led and built, ready-to-go, all the way to change the country and help heal the world.
“With people of every race, creed, gender, everybody stands together in solidarity with all of us whose labor powers this economy, stop the profiteering and tell the billionaires and the corporate tyrannies that it's time to start treating all human beings with respect and dignity."
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, Bernie respects you Bernbots so much that after selling you out for 600,000 pieces of silver in 2016, he's back to do it again. Of course, since you can't respect yourselves, John, by blindly following Bernie again, he doesn't have much reason to respect you, either.
Awesome- another hollywood climate expert heard from
Cusack- just another boring hypocritical nature worshiper- His idols are the climate and mother nature-
Hey Johnny- we have a guaranteed 1007 years MINIMUM left- 7 years tribulation, and a 1000 year reign of Christ as King of all the earth- The planet will be just fine till the end of that 1007 year minimum- chill out- your hysteria will cause you ulcers for no good reason!
Next time you confront a climate change fanatic ask them this, how is it when the Dinosaurs roamed the CO2 content in the atmosphere was about 15% higher than now and yes there was global warming. How did the level of CO2 go down?
This old planet has survived a long time and has endured many changes in the weather and climate long before man showed up, most of it is cyclical and always will be.
When I become a millionaire I can afford to embrace socialism too.

Never liked the prick.
Anthony Hopkins on Why He Doesn’t Talk About Politics: ‘Actors Are Pretty Stupid’
In a conversation with fellow actor Brad Pitt for a lengthy chat for Interview magazine, Anthony Hopkins explained why he seldom — actually: never — talks about politics... and why he’s not a big fan of other actors talking about politics either. In short: “Actors are pretty stupid.”
“People ask me questions about present situations in life, and I say, ‘I don’t know, I’m just an actor,’” Hopkins told Pitt. “ I don’t have any opinions. Actors are pretty stupid. My opinion is not worth anything. There’s no controversy for me, so don’t engage me in it, because I’m not going to participate.”
“There seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where idiot entertainers like Actor John Cusack and former professional athletes aka dumb jocks,were mistaken for people of importance.
They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”
Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset
That is what is happening now...
Must be pimping a new movie in which he plays a climatologist.
Johnny......baby.......
They told me the very same thing back in 1969, but we are still here.
I know you don’t like to think, but if they were wrong back then, do you think it’s possible that they could be wrong now?
Even someone as blatantly oblivious to reality as you should be able to see this.
His sister Joan is Far Left also.
That was such a good movie! Too bad this guy doesn’t just shut up and act.
Indeed it was.
It’s always 10 years away. I remember 30 years ago Ted Danson said the oceans would be dead in 10 years. I guess there is something about that number. It’s close enough to seem imminent, but far enough away that you won’t remember the warning ever happened by the time the next “crisis” arrives.
This anti-capitalist speech sounds like 1930s Hitler or Stalin.
Looks like capitalism has done alright by him!
Oh. You mean he was some “Brat Pack’’ kid?
Smug, arrogant, detached. Their self-righteousness, hypocrisy and ignorance know no limits.
