Trump is Everything Wrong With America

were like, you need to watch this game. You need to watch like the competitive nature of these women and support women in sports. And so for the last year plus I have developed an absolute obsession and as you can see, my voice is horse obsession with the WNBA and particularly with the Liberty as Barclays is in Brooklyn, and you know that that is where the Home Bunker is,

so all things Brooklyn big up. But I am so excited for the Liberty win for the first time in their franchise history in twenty eight years, that they brought home the WNBA championship. The series was an absolute nail bier. It was the best in sports that I think people have ever seen games went into overtime. I mean, you're talking about cranking out, grinding out these games with such mastery.

And you know when I talk about it today, because you know, one, I was able to be at Game five, the finals and court side and it was just like extraordinary. And I've had the wonderful pleasure of being court side and a number of Liberty games and it is just incredible. The center is, you know, just like off the chains in terms of vibes. And you know what I love so much about the WNBA is the women who are

committed to social justice. They're committed to change. They're fighting for increase pay for themselves, They're fighting for LGBTQ rights,

they're fighting for you know, black lives. They are they put it all on the line, and I think what makes them exceptional is that they are largely a group of queer and black women right the marginalized of the marginalized, and they are just so fucking talented and incredible that to see the league row by leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and see the investment being made, it just goes to show you that what happens when

investment is made. When people stop, when men, I'll say, stop making assumptions about what people will watch and what people will be interested in, and the you know, watching the WNBA and kind of you know, all of the

pushback at the low salaries in these things. I'm like, women have been fighting for equal pay in this country, in all industries for so many fucking years, and I think that when you see it on a sports level, when you're watching men literally play the same game, the same sport and are paid astronomically higher and being told well, that's because you know people like watching men's sports, well, because you've never invested in building out the fan base

and giving it the eyeballs and the attention and the kudos and all of these things that it is needed. And that's what's been happening with some of the extraordinary players over the last couple of years. So it's just been really dope to watch and be a part of. So I just say congrats to the WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, well deserved, hard fought and just exhilarating.

I cannot like the countdown and now begins for the twenty twenty five season, and I took a break, friends, because I, like I tell you all the time, take a break so that you do not have a breakdown following the polls that are coming out and following like everything is deadlocked and everything is you know, neck and neck. And I think that for some people it can work in one way, which is it implores people to keep putting the pedal to the metal to keep pushing things out,

to keep you know, getting out the vote. And for other people, I think that it is completely totally disheartening because did you listen to top fucking Donald Trump over

the weekend. Did you listen to him go off about a man's genitalia for twelve minutes and like people applauding and clapping like mindless fucking seals, no insult to seals, but like it is astonishing that this man can put on a fucking apron for a stage photo op and the media foams at the mouth over this bullshit, and it's just like how many times do you have to be fooled? How many times does Donald Trump have to like, you know, dictate the coverage before these people are like, oh,

maybe this isn't good, maybe it's not helpful. It's so infuriating, and I'm just you know, every once in a while, I need a break. And the thing is is that much in the same way that the WNBA and women's sports is indicative of the way that women across industries

are underpaid and undervalued. You look at what is happening on the main stage, on the main political stage, the world stage, with our election, and you look at Donald Trump, who is a fucking bumbling idiot, who is a Cretan, who is a sexual assaulter, who is a felon, who is a grifter, who is a liar, who is no one that anyone who cares about their kids or the future of this country should look to that man and say, oh,

I would like my child to emulate him. Presidents and vice presidents and elected officials used to be held to a certain standard, a certain kind of dignity and morals and values. It's not to say that we haven't had throughout time people who have been arrested or people who have abused their power, like Nixon, But never in our fucking lives, in the history of this country, have we

seen anything so goddamn offensive as Donald fucking Trump. And when you compare him to Kamala Harris, who is a woman that is actually worked for a living, that actually built an impressive career as a prosecutor, as an attorney general, then as a senator, then as a vice president of the United States, and I'm certain I'm missing things in between there, but like crawled and created and built who she is. Donald Trump had his whole life fucking handed to him on a plate and still managed to go

fucking bankrupt multiple times over. But he's white, and he's a man, and he is famous, so therefore he warrants the opportunity to become president again. So when you look at it, I know, like most people, you feel absolutely fucking disgusted, because I don't know how else we're supposed to feel. But when after taking a break for two days to come back to hear that Donald Trump went on a twelve minute rant about another man's genitalia to

people's fucking applause, and that was like a story. But the most important story for the media was his fucking apron at a McDonald's. Folks. Oh my god, oh my god. It literally makes me want to change careers, you know, And if Donald Trump is elected, understand that I will have to because Donald Trump not only did he say last week that he's going to shut down the Department of Education, he also plans on shutting down the media. He also plans on using the military on Americans who

don't agree with him. The way that America will turn fully into a fucking authoritarian regime, the way that this country will be dictated to by these religious, white supremacist zealots, and the fact that we are quote unquote neck and neck right now is so serious and so infuriating. Infuriating is the only word that I can use, because I got to tell you, folks, you know, just kind of

looking at what's happening right now. You have Elon Musk that is doling out million dollar cash prizes as if our election is some type of fucking game show like The Apprentice two point zero, saying I'll give you a million dollars if you sign this pledge and you do this thing, just literally selling our democracy off to whomever.

Pouring seventy five million dollar into Donald Trump's campaign. And I'm looking around wondering where the fuck Merrick Garland is, But you know, he's where he's always been, probably hiding under a desk somewhere with his head in the fucking sand, just hoping that the building that he's in doesn't come crashing and crumbling around him, because he hasn't done anything to fortify our democracy or our justice system in the

last four goddamn years. How it occurs to me is that Merrick Garland could very well be the last Attorney General of these United States. And do you think that he used his last four years in any type of way that would strengthen our democracy, that would pursue just this in the face of criminality. No, he's actually done

quite the fucking opposite. So you know, folks, it makes me so angry that things could be neck and neck that we know that if we just got rid of the fucking electoral college and let every person's vote count the same, one person, one vote, and everybody counts the same, it doesn't matter whether you're in Nevada or New York, whether you're in California or Tennessee, and the person that wins the most votes wins. But that's not how this

plays out because of the racist electoral college. Because the electoral college was created to give these rural states the same amount of weight as these larger states that had people of color that were enslaved, right black people, and so we can't really count them towards the population because we don't count them as humans. Like anything that is based on the fucking Atlantic slave the Transatlantic slave trade, do you think that we could get rid of in

the twenty first century. No, we continue to honor that shit,

create marble statues out of all of it. So you know, today when I tap back in, I was just like so completely and totally outdone, just kind of like over the United States at this point, and really just like over the people right like over the racism, I should say, not over the people that are standing in line, that are early voting at breaking records of their states and doing the most, but much in the same way that people were forced out in a pandemic to fight for

their rights as well as trying to fight for their life, as well as trying to cast the ballot with a person that you know was urging on lies and ceding lies about the election, knowing that his numbers were not looking good, and then ended up leading an insurrection following the election. The fact that this man is running, folks is wild to me. The fact that one in five Republicans want Trump to call the election election invallid if

he loses. It's just like everything that is wrong with America is what Trump embodies and what he has given people permission to just spew. Like I've seen some of these videos by some of these Trump supporters, and it's just like, folks will be We'll post these videos of these angry white people just screaming, yelling, blah blah blah, and it's just like, are you okay? Like are you okay? How does a gay person getting married have anything to

do with how you're showing up in your life? How does a child learning about the real founding of this country do anything other that make us proud about how far we've come and how far we've yet to go? Like, why is it that white people always think that like their children will identify with the worst. That says much

more about your parenting than it does our democracy. You know, folks, we are two weeks away from this election's final day, and I've never wanted anything to be finished more And kind of part of what scares me right now is the fact that we are two weeks away and it's a toss up about whether America will hold on to democracy for four more years or we're just over it, or, as I should say, the white masses are over democracy because it no longer works for them in the way

that white supremacy will. I want us to stay extraordinarily hopeful. I want us to continue to do all that we can in these final weeks. I encourage folks to early vote. In New York where I am, early voting will start at the end of this week. I for the first time, will be voting early, as opposed to on election day, because I'm going to be so busy on election day and probably entrance for part of it, so I want to make sure that you know I go early and

get it done. I would love to go back to the times when elections were joyous, when it was just exciting and going to a watch party and you could enjoy being a part of the democratic process. I don't know if we will ever get back to that place, and maybe we will, but just not in my lifetime. Because if Kamala Harris, if democracy is able to win, we are going to be just as fractured as we were on November fifth, on the day that the election

is actually decided, So yes, we will have. If she's able to eke out a win, we're able to kind of move forward with clear heads, and finally, God willing get rid of Donald Trump once and for fucking all, and then he can deal with the cadre of lawsuits that we'll be waiting for him now that he's no

longer the Republican candidate for president. But if she doesn't and it's close enough for them to steal it, I don't know, folks, I'm not going to really allow that thought to really fully enter into my mind because it's not productive. Because as I told my sister one day when she was feeling really low about the election, and I said, it takes just as much energy to be

hopeful as it does to wallow in despair. And so I'm going to put my energy towards being hopeful and energizing all of you as well as myself to do what needs to be done because I still believe that we can win. I say, fuck all the polls that you're reading, even though I go over polls because I have to, but I constantly say take them with a grain of fucking salt, because you can get them to say whatever you want them to say. The polls that I care about right now are the early voting polls.

Are the ones that tell me that places like North Carolina and Georgia are breaking records. The places that are telling me that early voting in Pennsylvania and other battleground areas are breaking records from twenty twenty. That's what matters to me. Everything else is conjecture until it's done. So with that said, my dear friends, keep your head held up, keep working, keep donating, keep canvassing, keep talking to people, keep getting out the vote, because that that is what

is going to be the difference maker. That is it for me today, dear friends on wokef as always power to the people and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
