  1. OTD in 1985, US President Ronald #Reagan's administration transferred 86 TOW anti-tank missiles to Iran in exchange for hostages, with proceeds funding a civil war in Central America in which 50,000 died toilet-guru.com/air-force-1.ht #IranContra

  2. #reagan really was a POS at every stage of his career. The man came into power as a deficit hawk, then tripled the debt. youtu.be/E8b7i0UAx2w
    Ronald Reagan: Everything You Didn't Know About His Sh*tty Past
  3. "Are We On the Verge of a Progressive Revolution Like the New Deal?”, Tom Hartmann, #DailyKos

    "Every 80 years, it seems, we end up with a new progressive revolution, and we’re overdue for this generation’s. Progressive Democrats are leading the way, but none of it will work unless we all engage.”

    #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.

  6. #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.

  7. 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.

  8. ”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.”
