Not for real but if he did wouldn't surprise me in the least.

While I felt dislike and some disdain for Reagan, I have to say, this quote - spot on.

Probably enough memes for now. People seem less inclined to spend time here on the weekends although I do use mu a lot of time looking for things for people who do come. It's early and in my frustrations, I'll likely be looking for more items to share later.

While I understand this, I don’t understand how we do it. Lie, cheat, etc.?

I highlighted your question in black.
I took it by this that what was meant that there are places and times that we pick up the pieces when we perhaps shouldn't. Like for instance a couple of times when Mike Johnson has had to ask the Democrats to step in and 'save' him and his speakership with votes from our side. The Reps. walk all over us and we reward them by making sure they don't fail. Well, who remembers that when the time comes. It was not them, Mike Johnson or those who voted for FG this time.
We aren't even players — we let the Reps. walk all over us, do us horribly dirty and how often they claim ownership of things we have done, and we let out hardly a peep. When Pres. Biden freed money up to Reps. districts for their infrastructure, Reps. went back to constituents and acted as though it was something they had gotten for their people. During this election especially — FG and the Reps. with the rt-wing media made Pres. Biden the person riddled with dementia, not the one who actually was — and to the point he had to step aside. Then, they let Don Demented as hell walk around in all the glory of it and said nothing truly negative about him. If so, it was mild and seldom. At the same time, they gave VP Harris standards only Saints in heaven could have accomplished. We NICE people to the nth. degree and then get kicked in the teeth, and in this big surprise election don't get voted for.
We are doing something really backwards and I've often thought we take an awful lot on the chin from the, in my view, really rotten Reps. So, this piece made some sense to me. There could be times when we should force (no rescue) the Reps. to take TOTAL ownership of what they do. We certainly shouldn't help them avoid any accountability. Also not stand quietly by as they take credit for very good things that we make happen. We keep saving the Reps. from themselves and it seems to me it may be a heck of a good time to think on that and quit doing it. We stand on our own two feet and if we had forced them to stand on theirs — a lot of what they do or in many cases don't do might be a lot more easily highlighted for the voting public.

Recalling the Muller Report just for openers.

Just another look at how the Reps. like to use decent perceptions against us, but it is so un-acceptable for us to get to pushy-shovey back. Opps, no word like the next to last.

For those who didn't vote for the madman I hate what is coming. For those who did, I will relish in watching everything you worked for, saved for, and had plans for drain away.

I will save my thoughts and prayers. These neither need nor deserve them. Adios.

Sure what Putin wants. I'm sure FG has his orders already.

And by the way, when chips are down you might find yourself kicked to the curb so fast your head will spin. Just because you voted for him doesn't mean your safe.

This is excellent! Besides seeing childhood diseases that were around before the MMR vaccine, I have had the privilege of seeing those diseases plus polio, plus small pox* , run rampant in a country with minimal vaccine coverage when I was in the Peace Corps. “Natural” immunity is a very poor strategy for containing these diseases and the fallout is not pretty.
*WHO considered small pox to be eradicated shortly after I joined but it was not uncommon to see survivors. It was very disfiguring.1 -
And that side has lots negative to say, but what really happened was FG left him out to dry — like he will do anyone who doesn't please him completely. Michael Cohen was smart enough to GET that he would be used and tossed to the side —just like he was.
I admired that he stood up, took his medicine, however un-earned it must have seemed, and in my eyes worked after that for whatever redemption he could get. I think he did feel true sorrow for having been blinded for a long time by FG just like so many others that have now been totally and thoroughly ruined. There is a little left for Mr. Cohen.

Trump taps Chris Wright as Energy secretary 11/16/2024 04:36 PM EST
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday named Chris Wright, head of a Denver-based oilfield service company who has disputed the role of climate change in causing extreme weather, to head the Energy Department.
Wright, a major Republican fundraiser, would be one of the loudest voices in the administration against the confirmed science that greenhouse gas emissions are raising the planet’s temperature and causing an upsurge in extreme weather. The Energy Department, which is tasked with maintaining the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile, regulating everyday appliances and managing the national labs, will likely play a critical role supporting the fossil fuel industry under Trump.
During the Biden administration, the department helped dole out grants and loans to quicken the transition to low-carbon power — something that Wright has called unnecessary.
In a video uploaded to LinkedIn last year, Chris Wright said: “There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
Another wonderful Jewel ???

As a teenager, the only summer job I could get (since I wasn't old enough for working papers) was farm labor. So for one summer, I picked blueberries along side migrant workers who took pity on me and showed me how to strip a bush. It is hard, physical labor working in high heat with an unrelenting sun and we were paid by the bucket. I am fair skinned so the sun was my enemy and I ended up being asked to move to the packing shed.
It was still hot work and I was paid by the flat after picking out unripe berries from a conveyer belt. Yes, think Lucy and Ethel. Once we screened the berries, then we could pour them into pint holders, place the cellophane wrap over the top and rubber band it using a wooden form to hold the wrap in position. I made 10c/flat for 10 wrapped pints. One of the bonuses was getting leftover pints to take home for free but it took me years before I would eat or could face blueberries in pancakes, muffins or cobbler.
I made better money in the packing shed but it was still hot and dirty work. The berries would stain your clothing and hands. So I admire any migrant worker for what they do and to this day have no regrets about having had that experience. I didn't get rich but I learned that hard work doesn't always get the monetary reward it should.
As far as FG, I would like to ask these evangelistic ministers how they feel about FG breaking nearly everyone of the 10 Commandments that they try to have posted everywhere.
The neighbor down the street still has his Trump banner on his house and the huge billboard in his year that is lit at night. I thought this was hypocrisy until I saw the sign they just put up after the election, which says "Jesus is pro-life". That made me want to vomit because here they are telling all their neighbors that they have aligned themselves with a man who has no morals and no ethical compass, yet they believe in Jesus? There is something rotten in Denmark and in my neighborhood as well. I am not religious but even this makes me cringe at their hypocrisy. Lip service for sure spoken by those with forked tongues. Makes me glad I am not religious in their eyes.

There are 'Jesus 2024' signs all over my town. Presumably passed out by Vote for Trump churches (I haven't asked). I am amazed and horrified because Trump is about as un-Jesus as you can get. I saw a good meme that said, "It's a good thing that Jesus lives in your heart, because if he showed up, you'd deport him'.
