i judge a president on -can he get the job done for the American people- if yes then fine, if not...
I thought Clinton was a dirtbag, but he was a good president in his second term
I thought both Obama and Carter were decent people and DECENT presidents, Reagan BAD on both counts with a corrupt Administration Leading to hundreds of indictments and arrests,
Iran Contra, lose of 250 Marines in a preventable Beirut Bombing, and then the invasion of Grenada the day after the Beirut bombing to cover up the mistake and have American soldiers running outta the Middle East holding white between our Azzes, highest unemployment ever, Reaganomics.... Bush (both) decent but only OK presidents

There fixed for you.

Ronald(TRUMP)Reagon the worst President in History

His Middle East Mess that started it all....

He armed Saddam Hussein's Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war despite the fact that it was widely known Iraq was using chemical weapons against civilian populations in violation of international law.

When an Iraqi fighter jet fired a missile into a U.S. Navy ship in 1987, killing 37 men, Reagan did nothing in response to the attack. Iraq is still the only non-allied country to attack a U.S. warship without retaliation.

The Reagan administration armed and supported the Mujahideen rebels in Afghanistan. Many members of the Mujahideen, like Osama bin Laden, used their experience in Afghanistan to help them form the terrorist organization Al Qaeda

Just days after the bombing that killed 241 Marines in Beirut, Reagan launched an attack on the island of Grenada to remove Cuban soldiers there. This successfully took attention away from the devastating loss of those Marines in Beirut as he withdrew with no retaliation.

The mess at home....

At least 138 Reagan administration officials, including several cabinet members, were investigated for, indicted for, or convicted of crimes. This is the largest number of any U.S. President. Many of them were pardoned by Reagan or President Bush before they could even stand trial.

Secretary of the Interior James Watt —Indicted on 21 felonies
Attorney General Edwin Meese —Resigned after investigations of corruption
Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger—Charged with Iran-Contra crimes and pardoned before going to trial
Assistant Secretary of State Elliot Abrams—Plea bargained for Iran-Contra crimes and pardoned by President Bush
Two National Security Advisors Robert MacFarlane and John Poindexter—Pleaded guilty to Iran-Contra crimes and were pardoned.





Three high ranking CIA officials, Alan Fiers, Clair George, and Joseph Fernandez —Convicted and pardoned for Iran-Contra crimes
At least nine Reagan appointees were convicted of perjury, lying to Congress, obstruction of Congress, or contempt of Congress


He told stories about having been a U.S. Army photographer assigned to film Nazi death camps. Reagan never visited or filmed any such camps.
He often told a story about a “Chicago Welfare Queen” who had 80 aliases and gotten $150,000 in welfare. She never existed but investigators did find one woman who had two aliases and received $8,000. Still, Reagan continued to tell the false version of the story.
He claimed that trees create more pollution than automobiles, an absurdly untrue statement that he literally pulled out of thin air.

After criticizing President Carter for having a $50 billion deficit, Reagan’s own deficits exceeded $200 billion. He tripled the national debt in only eight years. Although Republicans blamed Congress for the deficits, all eight of the budgets Congress passed had less spending and smaller deficits than the budgets proposed by Reagan.

Reagan's Economic Policies Put Millions of Americans out of Work
When he took office in 1981, unemployment was at 7.5% and dropping. A few months after his economic policies took effect, unemployment began to rise again. Millions of people continued to lose their jobs for the next two years until unemployment exceeded 10%. It stayed above 10% for nearly a year, peaking at 10.8%. Three years after he was elected, unemployment was still higher than when he was sworn in.

The SAVINGS AND LOAN SCANDAL ..The financial deregulation and changes to the tax code that President Reagan enacted ultimately caused nearly 750 different financial institutions to fail. This cost taxpayers about $150 billion

After Reagan cut taxes for the rich, the tax revenue to fund the government was so small that the budget deficit grew to four times what it had been under Jimmy Carter. So Reagan “borrowed” hundreds of billions of dollars from the Social Security trust fund to pay the country’s bills. That money has never been paid back.

Reagan Largely Ignored the AIDS Epidemic while Tens of Thousands of People Were Dying of the Disease
Many conservatives in the 1980s believed that AIDS was God’s punishment for being gay. Ronald Reagan did not publicly talk about AIDS until the 6th year of his presidency. In 1986, when AIDS fatalities were doubling every year, Reagan proposed cuts in funding for AIDS research.

Reagon's World Views....and his support for the worlds worst brutal leaders.-

He supported Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Later, when Noriega became too close with Fidel Castro, we suddenly considered him an enemy and removed him from power.
He supported Saddam Hussein when he committed the most brutal atrocities on Earth, killing thousands of his own people. Years later, when Saddam threatened our oil supply, we used these same atrocities as reasons to go to war with him.
He supported Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos even after Marcos killed his political rival and rigged his own reelection.
He supported the brutal regime in El Salvador when it was widely known that they were killing civilians, including Americans. After four American nuns were murdered by Salvadorian soldiers, Reagan’s Secretary of State defended the Salvadorians, suggesting that the nuns might have been shot while trying to run a military roadblock—but this wouldn't explain why they were also raped before they were killed.

When the white minority in South Africa (just 10% of the population) brutally repressed the black majority, even denying them the right to vote, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly passed the Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 to apply pressure to South Africa to end Apartheid. But President Reagan opposed any sanctions on South Africa and vetoed that bill. Congress was forced to override his veto.

I figured out who Trump is banging (allegedly lol) - Hope Hicks. Young, very attractive, mostly behind the scenes. She isn't Ivanka blonde but like Ivanka she's highly unqualified for the job. Her interview with House Intel was mysteriously canceled the other day

Mark my words.. he's banging Pence. Think about it, it makes the most sense.
You see him standing behind Mr Mini-Peen at every speech making googly eyes at him. You know Pence is the next one to be outed playing urinal-stall footsie.

He's



























Banging























Pence,

Lots of info here I didn’t know about .

My father was a big Reagan supporter just like his friends — all older White males p**sed off with their lives and ignorant about everything new. One thing I noticed is Reagan and Trump
Are very much a like , both liars, both racist leaders and like Reagan , Trump has mostly the same type of supporters. Trump no doubt is Reagan on steroids and I expect all that Reagan failed with Trump will fail at much bigger heights.

Look Reagan was a S**t box of a President— White American voted for him because he was a white movie star ... John Wayne the racist could have won in a landslide if he ran too.

Conduct your own poll if you don’t believe me. Go to your job and ask all the employees who has exposure to equities, ie who has investments set aside for retirement. I doubt anyone will say no.

Ps....to the other clown trying to teach me about defined benefits, if pension plans had no equity exposure, then companies would not be able to pay for them and workers would get nothing for retirement. Pension funds are underfunded by ~1.4 trillion dollars. The average pension fund has about 55 percent of its funds in equities with the rest split equally between alternative investments and fixed income (mostly issued by corporations who benefit from tax cuts and to a lessor extent government securities).

Still think Americans don’t have equity exposure? I get it, people who have more equity exposure are wealthier. Maybe you should follow thier lead and invest more and stop being jealous and looking for wealth distribution in the form of a hand out. Give more to dumb unemployed people rather than letting hard working Americans keep more of what they work for. Seems idiotic to me

Excellent. Progressive Dems are either in denial or they just don’t understand capitalism.
People complain because they aren’t making enough money per hour to invest. Hey , wake up, get a better job. Get educateded, learn a skill, find a niche.
There is so much oppportuity out there. For example, small micro breweries, just got a boost from the new tax bill. They pay less Fed Tax per gallon than the big boysless It encourages investment and new start ups , more jobs.
