Barkley’s bluntness is often refreshing.

This isn’t the first time Charles has told the unvarnished truth about an issue.

He’s outspoken, and everyone knows it.

You “cancel” Sir Charles at your peril.

He threw us a bone and we go after it. Don’t rally behind those types. It just makes guys like that snap at us when we least expect it. Im waiting foe Dwayne Johnson to do a Colin Powell/Arnold.

But I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer.”

Barkley would make a great Qtard.

I’m pretty sure The Rock already sold out.
I forget what he said.
He’s moved into producing movies, so he had to kiss the ring.

I remember Barkley walking down a hall behind Michael Jordan when they were both on The Dream Team singing,

“I wanna be like Mike!”

The guy does have guts.

Dwayne Johnson has a few years left as a leading man. Perhaps there’s still hope. Reagans was mid-50’s when he went into politics-never a great actor but then neither is Johnson. Like Arnold just an action figure, not much acting. Stallone was smart not to go that route. Barkley/ He’s still ‘young’.

Agreed. The petty tyrants may try but they will fail because Sir Charles will not fall into the Leftist trap of apologizing. I would be very surprised -- shocked! I tell you -- if he should do that ... but he won't because, unlike so very many others, he stands by what he thinks, says and does. Barkley is clearly among the small minority of men still remaining in today's American professional sports business.

If Charles said the media and Democrats want to divide and conquer, I would agree with him 100%. He substituted Republican because he is part of the media and wants the checks to keep coming.

I can see you guys are catching on. Let’s not forget how Bill Mahre sometimes throws us a bone and Christie shows his anger as to why he’s not POTUS. Don’t let the Noem’s disappoint you too much. I save that for the John Thune’s who screw us when they don’t have to. Meanwhile the rats get MLB to move the allstar game and we get scared. Starts with leadership and we have none to stand up to the rock throwers.

Well, he’s half right. His Party uses it as a club to beat up the Repubs.

Charles Barkley is the rare celebrity who gets away with telling the “truth” and not get punished for it.

My hat is off to Barkley for what I saw on YouTube.

It sounds demeaning to say this, but I am proud of him.

Amazing that people get so excited over a man speaking a simple truth that we all know.

“In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Now the Ministry of Truth must be deployed to rewrite or erase Charles’ statement.
