@ZachHicks2 Good luck topping this (the fact that he ended up on the Colts made this even funnier)

[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

@blue_1_11 @ZachHicks2 How many other kids are lucky enough to get a Playstation every single Christmas? And it even has all of their games pre-downloaded onto it!

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@ZachHicks2 Did they change the definition of "accountability" while we weren't looking?

@ZachHicks2 Predicting 16 points is a lot more faith than I've got in this offense

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@MemeBoyKyle @HawkeyeFootball Man what did cantaloupe do to earn this

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@LoganLittle_10 Free agency looks very exciting, I'd love to be a part of it one day

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@BrettKollmann @AquaFresno He wasn't a whole lot better the month before that, either

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@ColtsAuth_Kyle If Wentz keeps playing like he has been recently, that won't be a problem

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@Faux_Freedom Hey now, it's not *only* corn fields. We also have soybean fields.

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@teinrich @Whos_Cameron Turns out it's the 1980s Colts that are back

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@QuinnHp13 @TeamUSA @cole_hocker With hair, even!

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@JoelAErickson This is a joke right

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@zkeefer How good does Wentz need to be in 2021 for you to consider that trade a success? And how likely do you think that is to happen?

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@HolderStephen @TheAthletic Do you have an idea of the level of play from Wentz during the earlier parts of the season that would cause the team to consider benching him to protect their 2022 first round pick?

@LoganLittle_10 Always loved him when he was on the Reds

[Alex Hocker @AHocker76]

@JoshWilsonSB But there was totally no way they'd have any chance to trade up high enough to draft a top QB
