  1. @ProgressivePower
    #Conservative #Republican hero #RonaldReagan debating his opponent George Bush for the #GOP presidential nomination in 1980, called for an Open Border with #Mexico. 🤔

    Both candidates give what would be called downright #Progressive responses, but #Reagan went even further, condemning any building of "a fence" and allowing Mexicans to come here to work freely... a response that would get him called a #Communist by today's GOP.

    Yep. My BIL once tried to tell me during the #Obama Administration:

    "EVERYONE KNOWS the polices of the previous president don't take effect effect until AFTER they leave office" (attempting to blame Bill Clinton for #Dubya's messes, and credit Dubya for Obama's success.)

    I replied:

    "So CARTER actually deserves the credit for #Reagan's success, and #Reagan deserves the blame for Bush-41's 'failure'?" 🤔

    He had no response to that.

  3. #Web3 is the New #Boston Tea Party. But it's a real #Revolt. An economic #Revolution that makes #Google and everyone else just #AOL 2.0. BOOYAH!🔥🔥🔥
    The #TeaParty from #GOP was just one of the test flight groups to finally get to #Trump after it all started in earnest with #Reagan.

  4. This is the ad that caused Agent Orange to throw a wobbly and stop negotiation on the USMCA with Canada.
    It hurt poor widdle diddums feelings - especially when invoking Reagan.

    Now Reagan was never the brightest bulb in the pack, but he was a lighthouse compared to Donnie, the fridge light.

    As for the ad, well you know what to do with it.

  5. ”In 1980, Republican president Ronald Reagan won the White House by promising that tax cuts would create such dramatic economic growth that Americans would be able to continue to fund popular programs despite those cuts. …the promise that tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations would pay for themselves never materialized. Instead, the national debt rose dramatically.”

  6. #RandomThought . . .

    How does #Drumpf get away with all this SH*T???? 💩

    You name it and he somehow gets aways with it . . . and they called #Reagan the #TeflonPresident.

    Reagan was more attractive & better spoken but he had absolutely NOTHING on Drumpf as far as getting away with SH*T is concerned!!! 🤦‍♂️

    Political differentiation is what’s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).

    Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.

    And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side you’re on #AlboPM )

    I’m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) people’s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. We’ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.

  8. Now wait a minute!

    Is this saying that the US entered into conflict with Iran based on its own governing administration's views on American economic interests and not because we were mesmerized by a global Jewish conspiracy run by a tiny US client state?

    Shockerz 🙄

    "In a 2018 essay he co-wrote for the #NationalReview, #Hamm argued that “#Iran perpetuates the virulent rhetoric that has fueled” #antisemitism and that “Iran must pay for its constant attempts to destabilize the #MiddleEast.”

    In the essay he also predicted the #US would be “capable of providing enough #oil to help stabilize the global market, no matter what happens in countries such as Iran” and that “[n]o longer is it the case that the flow of oil to the #UnitedStates will be stifled if the #StraitofHormuz is shut down.”

    Central to Hamm’s #foreignpolicy push has been the Council for a Secure #America (#CSA), a #Reagan-era non-profit he relaunched in 2012 and of which he remains co-chair."

    #TruthTuesday 👇🧐
    This bears sharing till we all see the #truth of our shared #history: 👉 those #1980s "leaders" - #Reagan & #Thatcher especially, & lackey-in-chief #Greenspan - these & the #conservatives that followed them, have endowed upon our 21st century a world of the hollowed #middleclass, gross #inequality, fiscal & monetary mismanagement leading to #highCPI, & endless #wars (including the enablement of #genocide such as in #Gaza). They're all dead but their torrid legacy survives...🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👇
