First came Nixon, who had a VP that was forced to resign over his own conspiracies. 😳
Nixon gave us pre-existing conditions and our predatory health insurance. Reagan did so much worse...

![A picture of former president Reagan and a list of controversies associated with his presidency.
LOOKING BACK FONDLY ON
THE REAGAN YEARS
Iran-contra scandal, 14 convictions
Decisions being made by Nancy'sastrologer
HUD scandal, 16 convictions. $8 bn in taxpayer money lost.
S&L scandal, over $1 trillion in cost to taxpayers
32 convictions in his administration during the 8-year term. Record deficits.
7.5% average rate of unemployment.
Supply side [voodoo] economics.
Billons wasted on Star Wars spending. An escalation of the arms race, which delayed nuclear weapons reductions. LBOs of $64 bn/yr destroyed many good businesses and companies. Destruction of the labor movement. At least 130 separate investigations against the Defense Dept.'s largest contractors.

This is a truly chilling thought. Democracy is dead. The tech bros are now our masters. They will do with us what is best for them. Shut up and comply.

I keep seeing stories about MAGA voters who are appalled by the actions of the Trump/Musk presidency and wish they had their votes back. Now they can repent.

Happy Pi Day! My seventh grade teacher taught us the easiest way to remember the value of Pi -- 3.1415926. Try this: "Gee. I want a drink alcoholic of course." I learned that 65 years ago.

The AP Stylebook has been published since 1953. No president has complained about it, except Trump. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles says she has read the AP Stylebook (evidently nothing better to do since it's 524 pages). Her conclusion is the stylebook has been "weaponized." Alert Hegseth!

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

IS THIS JUST A COINCIDENCE?
The first two initials for Trump and Vance are exact opposites!
Both have five letters in their last name!
Both got their jobs by having to kiss the butts of someone higher up the food chain!

Trump almost tip the plan of Corporate America and the GOP (Give Others Poverty) last July when he told a Christian group, "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, you won't have to vote anymore." Democracy will be over by then.
