Here’s what I’m sick of, these black, ultra wealthy, adored entertainers and athletes, preaching about racism, white privilege, and the latest, voter laws. He doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about, he has been given break after break since he was a young blind boy, trying to make his way singing. I don’t ever remember thinking “ooooh he’s black, I thought “ahhhh, he’s blind” so endured his not great entertaining. He is still blind, still rich and now he is black.

Weird. I searched and searched and couldn’t find his quote about Chucky Schumer supporting the fillibuster just a couple years ago. Maybe I’m the blind one...huh?

Even a blind person should be able to see what shenanigans the Democrats are pulling. And it’s not good for blacks or for the nation. It’s pure evil.

I know he is blind, but I didn’t think he was dumb too.

Just wait till the Captain and Tennille weigh in!

Well…let’s just say the Captain will have to speak via his inevitable democrat vote in the next election.

What Stevie is saying is, as I see it, it is not working.

There is something seriously wrong with America when people like this have no lives and are wrapped up in gutter politics like their lives depend on it. Just pathetic.

deep state psyop code name: BLACKEYE

Schedule a media video op for every black man with an audience to read a scripted line on camera and carry that message to every liberal media outlet for rebroadcast on heavy rotation.

“Let’s talk about...

“I wanna discuss...

“Regarding...

“I’d like to turn now to...

...what Stevie Wonder said regarding the Filibuster.

Cher and Alyssa Milano and now him.

What would we do for counsel without them?

Let’s try it and find out.

Great idea for a reality show. Drop a bunch of clueless celebrities on a remote island, and see if they can form their own society. No behind the scenes crew to pamper them, and no rescue if (when) they get into trouble. I’d definitely pay to watch that. I’d even pay a little more for the bonus episode in which a crew comes in to remove the bones.

Once again, the US is not now and has never been, a Democracy. It is a constitutional republic. A far different political construct.
