We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

This little spasm of grief from Davis is mostly for drill. Her only real subject is herself. She's a professional Boomer waif, raised by a disinterested father with a head waggle and a yen for corny jokes, and a conniving remora with lunch dates, a chrysanthemum coiffure, and the jaw of Mammy Yoakum.
Who said I hated Reagan? I did not vote for him in 1984, but I think he did well. Better than most. I am describing Mr. and Mrs. Reagan from the perspective of two people: Edmund Morris (official Reagan biographer) and Patti Davis, herself. She is a nightmare child who is still dining out on her parents' accomplishments.
I am a pragmatic person who always voted D until I'd had enough in 2016. Is there an ideological test for posting here?
Reagan wrecked the economy during his administration. At least that is the prevailing sentiment among some that I know. Surely government regs and policy can influence economics. Whoever is in office gets the blame, rightly or wrongly. Reaganomics and an ex wife bankrupted me. Reagan was all smoke and mirrors. He did manage to make people feel better and have a little more pride in some instances, with his folksy BS. Voters will continue to choose the ones who are the best con men. I would rath…
Massive Debt was birthed by Reagan (Regan). Never extinguished by the "Peace Dividend" of a wings-clipped Soviet Union. Squandered on the "World's Policeman" as Middle America got the jobs, livelihoods sold out to Foreigners (Free Trade) while the bill ($90 Trillion in Debt) for the Private MIC profits continues to be guaranteed by the dying American Taxpayer.
Reagan reacted to the severe cutbacks of the defense department during the Liberal years of Ford and Carter. But, because of the four year term in office, he tried to do it all at once, increasing the debt with defense spending. As you noted, that did lead up to 1991 and the break up of the USSR.
Well, we have a businessman back in charge, replacing a consummate politician. We Will see if his second chance is more productive than the first. A good sign is the MIC portion of the Deep State in a panic over Trump.
Businessmen are consumate politicians, devoted to profit alone. You can't run a nation on profit alone since many things have to be done that don't make a profit. And many things can't be done that DO make a profit.
Libertarians are children who don't want to go learn anything.
