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."
He attended NYU and apparently had his brains thoroughly scraped out by morons who refer to themselves as educators. He is mostly important to himself.
It is always just too wonderful to hear wisdom dispensed by some a$$head actor. /sarc
John Cusack net worth: John Cusack is an Illinois-born actor and writer who has a net worth of $50 million dollars.
Give it all back!
They’re revealing the truth: capitalism (free market economy) is the target. They don’t care about the planet.
So...you are saying it is a moving target...aren’t you? Sneaky! /s
He’s got a lucrative contract with Bernie to make propaganda films after Bernie ascends.
Capitalism (a word created by Marx) takes and then gives you the opportunity to make more. Communism takes also and gives you a bullet.
Mercifully for him and Woody Harrelson the world forgot what they did in 1991. They were two of the biggest opponents of Operation Desert Shield. In a funny twist of fate by the time the news cycle caught up to their idiotic rants, the war was over.
Notice how the number of years left never changes or perhaps gets longer? If we keep saying 11 years, and then change it to 12 years, perhaps by 2050 we will have 15 years left!

Don’t sell Cusack short, he had a year at New York University before dropping out. That along with his vast experience in the real world makes him iso very qualified to lecture us little people.
“”The billionaires are getting nervous and all the corporate media is — they hate us, they don’t hate us, they’re confused.”
I take it, John, that you’re not a billionaire. Which is why you said “billionaires” instead of “millionaires”.
Funny. Democrats accuse conservatives of being “anti-science.” No one in their right mind (conservatives included /s) would argue that 2+2=4 and that nitrogen is the most-abundant gas in the atmosphere at about 78%. Those are scientific facts. The problem with climate-crisis “science” is the “scientists.” We just do not agree with how they interpret the data and their doom-and-gloom interpretations of it. Plus, “scientists” are not exactly incorruptible since a large part of them get paid by universities.
Some of us are old enough to remember first-hand the ozone farce. “Scientists” made us think we were all going to get cancer from the UV rays and die if we did not do something - anything! Well, the ozone hole is just as big (scientific fact - https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/statistics/annual_data.html) as it was back in the late 80s when CFCs were banned so the ozone layer could “heal.” The real hoax is that “scientists” since then have seen that we all did not get cancer and die, so they are currently silent on the matter. In other words, it was just another hoax foisted upon us by “scientists” who could not predict the future accurately.
“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.” (Say Anything)
You can’t expect an actor (other than James Woods) to understand the meaning of an exponent.
Oh!... The irony of it all! This lackbrain is a poster boy for the blessings of Capitalism. And he doesn't have a clue.
Cusack lacks formal education. He flunked out of college and has no science at all.
He lacks any qualification at all to comment much less lecture on climate.
At the Bernie rally he also said,
“We have to take back the meaning of the word revolution. We’re not talking about a Nike commercial, we’re not talking about a can of soda, we’re talking about a radical redistribution of economic and political power.”

“John Cusack hasn’t made a “good movie” in 10-12 years?”
He made a good movie?
More like ever, unless you count “Being John Maklkovich”. And even then, you could have substituted pretty much any actor for him. Cusack is a hack, to make a bad rhyme.
