3 days agoI saw an episode of SNL. The joke was that Reagan only pretended to be a bumbling idiot and was, in fact, a razor sharp mastermind.

It’s a fantasy and every writer gets to pick their own rules.
Like saying a werewolf is better than a vampire because they are only active three nights a month…
“[They] detested each other. Which makes sense, because they were both detestable.”
Gen. Sir Harry Padgett Flashman, VC
Always bet on Donnie chickening out. He had the 2016 nomination sewn up, and challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate for charity. Bernie said ‘sure’ and Trump had to run from his own dare.
22·12 days agoI remember an Arthur Clarke novel where a space ship needs water from the planet below. The easiest thing is to lower cables from space and then lift some ice bergs.
So, no space elevator in the next few months?
The word “economy” can mean different things to different people.
Before Reagan became President, ‘middle class’ was defined as one Union job supporting a family of four. In those days $1 million was considered a vast fortune. By the time Bush Sr. left office ‘middle class’ meant both parents working to keep the house going and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
As Henry Ford said of the Model T. “You can get it any color you want, as long as it’s black.”
You can have any candidate you want, as long as it’s a Conservative.
When Roald Reagan pushed tax cuts for the rich George W. Bush called it ‘voo-doo economics.’
In almost five decades, the taxcuts have never paid for themselves as reagan promised.
This has been a favorite ploy of the GOP for decades. If they get elected they put in some blatantly illegal/unConstitutional law and then force the opposition to pay to fight it. Because the GOP is the ‘government’ they can force the taxpayers to subsidize the circus while the Left has to bleed money to pay for lawyers.
What’s even funnier is that Trump ran a lottery for his donor base where the first prize was a dinner with the President. The lottery ran for months and not one MAGoo ever won.
I suppose I could do a fact check on that, but my mind is still reeling from the music video he released yesterday.
If you didn’t see it, he’s a rock star with a dozen go-go dancers behind him. And a flag guitar.
Trump insults the police and military on a daily basis.
Be interesting to see how they stand when the time comes.
Trump’s the kind of guy who will burn down the barn and then take credit for providing a great BBQ.
It took place after Trump was inaugurated, therefore it’s his success.
No /s, because you know he’s goign to take credit for it
Hunter Thompson wrote “Hell’s Angels” in 1967.
There’s a passage about the economics of being a biker/hippie/dropout.
In those days, a biker could work six months as a union stevedore and then hit the road for two years. A part time waitress could could support herself and a live-in boy freind
Then Nixon/Reagan came in to save us.
…and Howard Dean was too crazy to be President because they saw him yelling…
