I was still in high school during his last term and nowhere near what anyone would consider politically engaged and even I knew that Reagan and the trickle-downers were rabidly anti-tariff.
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

You know what is a weird thing I miss about regular TV seasons?

Obligatory seasonal holiday episodes.

Like, no one dropping 8 episodes in July is going to give you an unhinged Halloween ep, a totally inappropriate murder on Christmas ep, and probably some weird Valentine's Day nonsense.

Maybe he just really wanted to be First Lady--redecorating the White House, hosting lavish parties for dignitaries, and looking pretty on camera.

I’ve rediscovered the joy of cinnamon toast. A nice whole grain bread. Some kerrygold. And a smattering of sugar and cinnamon.

Live the dream with me.
Nothing has convinced me that Platner should go no further more than having Matt Yglesias say otherwise.
Canada’s had enough of the bullshit and decided to take the gloves off. Good. Keep at it! 🇨🇦
Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Since the Bluesky team is bigoted against Link, he is unable to conduct Mutual Fund Friday, and so in his absence we must do it for him. SNAP benefits disappearing means a LOT of people mightily struggling. So can we try?? :)

I just realized two things:

1) I always seem to know who the mayor of New York City is but seldom know who the governor of the State of New York is.

2) I always seem know who the governor of California is but seldom know who the mayor of Los Angeles is.

Friends, do not sleep on this!

It is an incredible cover/altered version of Jolene. This singer's voice is phenomenal, and the new lyrics are perfect for spooky season.

You guys the comrades on here are anxious to let you know they don’t care about the White House AT ALL because they are not privileged like you. Meanwhile their friend is like “pfft hold my beer, I am so advanced I am indifferent to 9/11. Top that, bitches.”

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.
I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

I'll never get over the fact that most of the legitimately tough macho working class guys I grew up with in coal country now worship a guy who loves Broadway, dances on stage to YMCA, and is fully devoted to building a fancy-ass ballroom. They'd look at you funny for dancing at prom.
