THE MOST OVERRATED PRESIDENT EVER! His reign (1981-1989) was marked by a huge shift in wealth from the middle class up to the rich. Reaganomics was the nuclear bomb dropped on the middle class in the class warfare battle. Reagan was very anti-union and during his reign working class wages fell as C.E.O. pay soared.Reagan cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, by almost half, shifting the tax burden to the middle class. The resulting reduction in revenue, along with an insane peace-time military build up, lead to a tripling of our national debt.
Reagan also sold weapons toSaddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran War and helped establish the Taliban in Afganistan to fight the Soviet Union.
The G.O.P. idolizes Ronald Wilson Reagan and want to continue his destruction of the American dream. The lasting legacy of our 40th president is: reganomics, the huge national debt and the rob-the-poor-to-feed-the-rich policies the GOP holds so dearly 20 years later. So many repubitards worship Ronald Reagan like a god it's no wonder they never get endorsements from unions, teachers or anyone with any sense of compassion.
Late great USA President during most of the 1980's. Told the Iranian dictator Ayatolah Khomeini he would blast his ass the day he became President if the hostages, which Iran had for about a year (even though Pres. Jimmy Carter told him that wasn't very nice) were not released. The Ayatolah gave 'em up, not being stupid enough to test us like Saddam did.
Ronny's greatest contribution to the world was ending the cold war by bankrupting the USSR in a military arms race. The retards fell for it. Then Ronny showed those stupid Communists how great Democracy and free enterprise is. The stupid commies saw dollar signs and smartened up real quick.
If it wasn't for Ronald Wilson Reagan, we'd still have to worry about some future worldwide nuclear holocaust.
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texaswill vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
