To all two of my active followers: I am leaving Xitter and will be active on Blue's Guy. Find me there.
Deleting this shit pile later today.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

Just waiting for @M_Ski22 and some other Baseball writers, in addition to some WoSo writers to head to Blue's Guy before I completely abandon Xitter.

@likethe309 These f#cking morons think the progressives are the problem?!?
The Democratic Party deserves this absolute ass-whooping it took in this election. Unfortunately, people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community is going to suffer because of DNC stupidity.

@kgier @JeffKassouf I just added it today. Hoping to find it to be a viable source for my WoSo and MLB news.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@likethe309 Ugh. Okay?!?

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@likethe309 Well, my stubbornness is...dumb.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@gldivittorio Yeah, this isn't good. It's over. 😐

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@likethe309 Maybe...not over yet?!? I dunno. I'm out if so.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@FiveThirtyEight Well, they're fucking idiots.

Third time I’ve voted against that racist, sexist, fascist piece of shit.

Here’s to never having to do it again.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count. 

Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit. It’s an awesome responsibility. But what an extraordinary privilege it is to live in a democracy that gives each of us the opportunity to make our voices heard.

@CarolineStan That was some voodoo magic stuff!!!

[Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin]

Tax the f*cking churches.

Without abortion, pregnancy is too dangerous to attempt. Building a family safely requires abortion. The reason pregnancy doesn’t kill more people is because OB/Gyns are good at their jobs. And abortion is part of the job.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@craigcalcaterra I wanted to point it out, but as I'd recently given you shit about Brit pop, I decided to eat my words.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@craigcalcaterra @washingtonpost Bezos ordered it. Editor carried it out. Unfuckingfathomable.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@jrosenbaum I disagree with your overall point. However, you are correct on these two addendums.

[Catherine (My Dad was cooler than yours) @slutriarch]

A 13 year old girl in Idaho showed up to the hospital to give birth, she couldn't consent to her own care because she's a minor but she could consent to the care of her baby.

Make it make sense.

[Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 @JmeGehrke]

@thekccurrent @vdibernardo10 @NWSL YES!!! 🩵❤️🩵
