All should understand that this old curmudgeon has never been a fan of Ronald Reagan, not as a grade B actor, as Governor of the state where I was a resident for several years, and as his terms as President of these United States. He was, in my opinion, an actor playing a role as President. Although he did some good things, he also did some very horrible things as well. Like firing all of the Air Traffic Controllers, harming the social security annuity pension payments to seniors. HE did also some good things like speaking truth to the Soviet Union/Russia dictators regarding the Berlin Wall. The one thing that Reagan would be horrified to witness was the two bullies in the White House who attacked and slurred the President of the nation of Ukraine. Reagan would have been totally embarrassed and angered at Trump, Vance and of course the wimpy Republican fascists in the Congress by the way President Zelensky was treated by this nation’s top two elected officials.
Trump has always been known as a bully, a con man, a man of no integrity in his business dealings, and his assaults on women and disabled persons. Truly a horrid example to be the front facing person for our United States of America and her people.
While Reagan was not exactly the supreme example of presidential actions or image, he did play his part pretty well, especially considering that he was always staring in grade B movies. He at least shown our nation in a positive light in comparison to the rest of the civilized nations, Russia and China excluded of course. Trump on the other hand, for quite a while prior to his crazy decision to go down his golden escalator in his Trump Tower building to start his campaign of bully statements, rabid rally speeches with no cognitive structure to his speeches, and of course his rampant plethora of lies, mis-statements, and outright indicative leaning toward Putin, Jung, and the rest of the dictatorial filth that polluted our world he was even then of the mindset (and I use that term very loosely) that he was born to be King! So when one steps back to compare the two individuals, Trump falls into the cesspool or more appropriately in the outhouse trench, in comparison to Reagan, and boys and girls, I have little to no respect for Reagan as an individual or as a President.
During his first miserable term in office, Trump made this nation a laughingstock of countries, a country not to be trusted with intelligence information, a country not to be trusted as an ally, and one to use as an image of what not to select as a chief executive of their nations. During his first term, Trump pissed off the British people so much, with his rude treatment of the Queen, that they seriously considered banning him from the England, Scotland, and other British Isles nations. In one very rude instance, Trump shoved himself forward to walk in front of the Queen. This is NEVER done and is considered the epitome of rude, crass, and simply not polite and for a nation head of state, it was shocking. But Trump was so totally stupid and egomaniacal that he never even considered what the did was wrong. Of course as one looks at the entire Trump family reaching back to his great grands, one can see where the ignorance came from, it is bred into these Trump male turds and several of the female ones.
And now, we see Trump’s second term starting out with more bully tactics, attacks on our foundational structures, and the inclusion of a rabid foreign white non-citizen being allowed to access our federal computer databases, citizen’s personal and private information, and the firing of thousands of federal civil service employees. Musk is from South Africa and he is in this country on that abomination of a program by the Republicans to sell citizen/residency documentation to rich jerks who promise to bring increased revenue through expanded jobs. Which so far has been nothing but another big fat rich jerk lie. Musk is not allowed to run for any key office in this country because of this status, yet that crooked con man Trump allows him to violate every regulation that the Congress has established to create a stable federal workforce.
His little DOGE thugs have invaded the treasury, and other repositories of Federal databases, accessing US citizens personal information, a violation of every single privacy law this nation has ever established. These young asshats have never been vetted as to their acceptability as persons of trust to access any of this data, yet under the ChristoFascist regime of Trump/Musk and their Republican enablers, they are destroying the security of our information and exposing it to all sorts of foreign criminal entities, such as Russian hackers, the African Prince’s email cons, and every crooked, criminal slimeball in this nation and last but certainly not least, the Chinese computer center invasions.
The Musk/DOGE Firing Civil Servants in their goals to enviserate these government agencies and then shut them down because they no longer function, gutting and privatizing the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid programs, for their billionaire buddies. Musk has continued his attacks on our American foundations with his latest assault on the AMTRAK passenger rail system. He has been espousing that the entire system is a failure, totally unprofitable and costing the taxpayers unnecessary million on taxpayer funds. Which is of course, a damn lie. His focus is simply to move AMTRAK into the position of having it sold into private hands to be “run more efficiently”. Which as any true historian will attest was the opposite, when the passenger rail system was in private hands, it was being eliminated by these private companies because it was not profitable enough for them and they were shutting down the only access to mass transit that many towns and rural areas had. The Federal Government was obligated to assume responsibility for all of the Passenger Rail systems from these private companies and keep this transit access available. They have done a splendid job, with the AMTRAK system carrying passengers from all sorts of locales, across this great nation and doing it within the bounds of their focus toward being self sustaining. Again, this is another instance where a non-American is making infrastructure decisions for our country and our elected officials are simply looking the other way, and applauding the great Republican MAGA world.
Finally one of our federal judiciary judges has the cajones to step to the plate and do their damn jobs by blocking the Musk/Trump dictator wannabe acts and made one department rehire all of their previously Musk fired employees, with back pay. The once Supreme Court majority (Republican fascist appointed), sat on their hands and did nothing to impede the unconstitutional acts of the Musk/Trump regime heads and the Congressional Republican Fascists stood, applauding and enabled these violations of our once great, but in the process of failing, nation.
Old Saint Ronnie Reagan would have been in cardiac arrest where he still alive with the illegal acts of this fat SOB from New York and his chief henchman, a Goebbels pretender South African. Roberts, and the three Democrats on the Supreme Court should put forth a paper condemning the acts of Trump, Musk the DOGE turds, and those members of the Republican Congress who allow these infractions. But, Roberts has been almost neutered by the other Republican Fascist Supreme Justices whose only focus is to allow Trump, Musk, and the Project 2025 fascists to continue the assaults on our democracy.
Think I’m kidding, oh God I hope I am, but then I will be long dead when considering my very advanced age at this point.
Damn their souls to the eternal Satanic hellfires. Were if only Karma were real.
