America is very upset about migrants and drugs coming from Venezuela

So America is trying to destabilize the Venezuelan government

Which would create a lot more migrants

And open up more space for drug traffickers

If proven true, what kind of leadership does this demonstrate? This is unsurprising, but still awful.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Millions of us were alive during the Reagan presidency. His embrace of free trade was well known and, for decades, a key feature of Republican politics. To pretend otherwise is ridiculous.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 19h

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

Many of them, yes. He was pretty good on immigration, especially by today's standards.

Honestly, this clip bugs me. It's like when he informed us that President Lincoln was a Republican and "very few people know that." Actually, we all knew that, just like we all know that Reagan was famously against tariffs and an ardent free trader. Trump knows nothing about his own political party.

The ad is accurate, and the lawsuit has no foundation. Ontario was well within its rights to use the clip, as the speech is in the public domain.

He knows very little about U.S. history or any of our leaders. I'd be shocked if Trump had ever watched Reagan's speech. Trump is not intellectually curious and pays attention to what affects him directly, but little else. He's unaware of many things that the average American knows.

More winning for the U.S. We're alienating our closest and best ally and incentivizing them to trade with our fiercest competitors. Truly our president is a strategic genius.

Agree with you. When people say he only lost because of the establishment, they're missing the fact that he had relatively little support among Black voters. Bernie spoke to class and economic concerns but didn't address the challenges that people face due to prejudice and baked-in inequalities.

This is really true. The one benefit is that the negotiated rate for a procedure is generally quite a bit lower, even if you're paying all of it yourself. At least that's been my experience. The insurance itself covers almost nothing.

Yes! Reagan wasn't my favorite president, but he had actual ideas he wanted to communicate and understood the value of a good speechwriter. He wasn't crude, didn't insult women's looks or use childish, insulting nicknames. He didn't threaten to jail his opponents or talk constantly about himself.

I have many critiques of the Reagan presidency, but it's undeniably true that he was a tariff skeptic and ardent free trader. Any American who was living and paying attention in those years knows it. Trump is simply not a Reagan Republican. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

The Reagan Foundation claims that Ontario misled viewers about what Reagan actually thought about tariffs and trade. I certainly hope people take a few minutes to watch the full speech and decide for themselves. m.youtube.com/watch?si=a9U...

Stephen Miller deserves more scrutiny than he's gotten. He speaks frequently about arresting and killing people, and he seems angry almost all the time. How did he get that way? What was his route into politics, and how much authority does he actually have?
