I suppose -- indeed I hope, because if not it means a lot of you are still in thrall to a charlatan

  1. There is not one person working at the National Review nor the White House that can write anything whatsoever with the clarity of the Reagan speech.
    American Conservatism is obviously as silly a notion as Communism. So boring I don’t bother paying attention to it, but do dip my toe occasionally. We need a middle way.
    The Soy farmers are a prime example of what Reagan is talking about.

  2. Reagan’s Republicans are mostly gone. Trump reversed merger the “Republican” name, as a populist, so it’s not surprising that Reagan’s message disrupts the illusion, and is thus unwelcome.

    Maybe the Feds can announce a betting scandal against “Woke” Canada on their opening weekend of play too? Wouldn’t want people thinking about the Epstein files over the weekend.

  3. Intelligent conversations with the Trump admin are nonexistent, across the board. When the press secretary responds to your serious question about who in the admin made a decision with ‘your mother did’, what else can you think but “hell, someone slipped an hallucinogen into my coffee. I have to be tripping…and it’s a bad one.

    Trump is our mad king and he’s forcing everyone who follows the news to be pickled in his mad juices. The only real news story is he’s Crazy. Someone please turn off that f..ing dripping faucet.

  4. I have been rewatching Ken Burns’ series “The Roosevelts” this past week or so. Both Teddy and Franklin were populist leaders, but in a very different way. When you and your policies are genuinely liked and supported by a large majority of the American people, you are actually empowered to make real changes on their behalf. You can no longer be held strictly responsible to a wealthy ruling class or the industrial elite, as you can politically function without their support. Teddy Roosevelt fought the trusts and created the National Park system, FDR brought in the New Deal and created a new social contract with America. There really is no comparison to our current situation.

  5. I will say, seems highly suspect Trumps trade talks with Canada is off came minutes after Carney basically called him a TACO for not returning his call to make a bet on the Jays Vs Dodgers World Series.
