I like to put it this way.

Before Reagan was elected, ‘middle class’ was still defined as one good Union job paying for a family of four. In those days, $1 million was still considered a vast personal fortune. By the time Bush Sr. left office, ‘middle class’ was two incomes to keep the family afloat and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.

[off topic?]

They hate on Jimmy Carter and love Ronald Reagan.

What they don’t realize is that Reagan kept Carter’s man Paul Volker in charge; it was Carter’s plan that stopped inflation. Another fact the right likes to ignore is that the inflation started under Nixon. He was paying for the Vietnam War by printing money because he didn’t want to raise taxes. The War was incredibly costly because we were dropping about three Hiroshimas a day on empty jungle. When the Arab Oil boycott hit, it almost crushed the system.

It’s easier to list the number of times he’s told the truth.

Listing all his lies would kill a strong bodied person.

Trump said Mexico would pay for the Wall.

lol!

You are one to talk about people acting self righteous.

Bernie voters overwhelmingly voted for Hilary - around 80%.

Proves my point.

20% saw Donald Trump and noped out.

And fuck the idea that Biden/Harris had to earn anyone’s vote. That’s like saying you’d rather drown than get into a lifeboat where somebody has the flu.

Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch said it best.

“If you agree with me 51%, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% see a psychiatrist.”

They couldn’t vote for Humphrey and we got Nixon.

They couldn’t vote for Carter and we got Reagan.

They couldn’t vote for Gore and we got Bush.

They couldn’t vote for Hilary and we got Trump.

Thank god we have Progressives pushing the country to the Left!

I always say this.

The thing I find most disgusting is how Trump is so fucking penny ante. An actual badass would ahve extorted $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016.

Instead he’s running like a mouse after a measly $40,000.

It’s called ‘testing the waters.’

Politicians hate taking action, especially when they aren’t sure of the outcome.

Yes, and they will hand out ‘loans’ that they will expect to be repaid.

Or, they show up with their guns and resentments…

Life isn’t a video game you can reset when you don’t like it.

And if things go to shit, you don’t think they’ll be internal refugees coming to your state?

They aren’t going to disappear.

Hate to be the one to tell you, but life’s not a video game and you don’t get extra lives.

Don’t kid yourself that this could in any way be a good thing.

What will happen is that big companies like Blackwater will step into the breach and do FEMA’s job. Except instead of leaving after things are better, they will auction off the right to run the towns to the highest bidder. “Enterprise zones” with no Unions or OSHA allowed.

If you look at it, she’s deeply in hate with him. I could see her staying just to torture him.

What about “Fast And Furious?”

The take there was that the President is personally responsible for any action taken by any subordinate.

Reminds me of a science fiction story.

Intelligent reptiles give birth to hundreds of eggs at a time. They eat most of the young live. The Queen of the planet offers the visiting Terrans a big bowlful of wriggling babies at a banquet.

It’s in “Stranger In A Strange Land.” Heinlein never patented the idea, but the original builder credited him.

Read the book.
