Why am I not surprised a tool like yourself would assume I am a republican. Your ignorance is once again on full display.

McCarthy started impeachment hearings against Biden, and then McCarthy got impeached by Republicans. This has been a big news day.

If you're not a chronically unemployed extremely retarded pedo scumbag bottom feeding welfare leeching big government cuck, then Seran will automatically consider you a far right extremist.

Anyone that is politically right of Xi Jinping is a “MAGA Republican” in Seran’s eyes.

Point out to me which one of the mainstream Republican talking points you spew out on a regular basis would lead anyone to believe you aren't one. I'm sure you'll spout off about being an Independent or Libertarian, but that's just an idiots way of denying they're a Republican.

In some places a student ID will suffice and since illegal migrants can go to school, then in theory they can vote......things that make you go hmmmmm

Not sure if they are still doing it, but East Baton Rouge employees were on a 4 day work week where 50% took off Monday and 50% took of Friday and everyone was there for the middle of the week. The people I spoke to seemed to like it

So all the nonsense that liberals want to say the National Guard is the militia is just made up absurdities. The DOD provides equipment and the majority of the funding for Guard units, so how can what is a mostly DoD unit be a militia, does that mean that all military is militia? Pretty sure no one, not even squad member, well ok maybe them, would say the military is a militia.

Is RFK Jr. actually a Republican since he is about to abandon the Democrat party to run as an Independent? I assure you his “talking points” are anything but mainstream Republican. About the only thing he has in common with the Rs is a mistrust in big pharma and acknowledging that the vax was ineffective.

Edit: I know you it’s beyond your comprehension to imagine someone not pledge their undying loyalty to a political party, but most of us normal folks see the flaws & corruption of a broken Post-Constitutional Republic in decay.

I was an infant for Reagan but even inf my life the rate of change his hard to fathom so expecting someone who's an octogenarian to be able to keep up is unlikely. Not that they don't have a role in advising and relaying their historical context to a complex system of rules and measures but I think at a certain point there needs to be an understanding that people who don't keep up or can't keep up can't really govern a world they don't understand.

I often struggle with assessing Reagan’s presidency. On one side of the coin he saved us from imminent economic collapse, had a massive part in defeating our sworn enemy the Soviet Union, and ushered in a new age of Americana that really did wonders for the enjoyment of my childhood. On the other side of the coin his economic policies greatly eroded the middle class, his foreign policies created new future enemies, and his war on drugs while allowing anti communist freedom fighters to profit from drug trade did immeasurable harm to the poor & especially black community.

One thing that nobody really disputes though is that at age 70 his witts were sharp as a razor blade & he can be counted in the top 5 greatest orators of the 20th Century (Hitler probably has him beat in that regard, and I’d put JFK about even).

At the beginning, most certainly. But at the end, he was struggling.
