People thought Reagan was a joke at first too.
Some people still do . By the time he left office 138 people in his admin had been indicted , investigated or convicted for something . Reagan wins criminal investigations .
1. Lyn Nofziger--White House Press Secretary - Convicted on charges of illegal lobbying of White House in Wedtech scandal. The lobbying would not have been illegal had he not been White House Press Secretary.
2. Michael Deaver, Reagan's Chief of Staff, received three years' probation and was fined one hundred thousand dollars after being convicted for lying to a congressional subcommittee and a federal grand jury about his lobbying activities after leaving the White House. Same as with Lyn Nofziger.
3. James Watt, Reagan's Secretary of the Interior was indicted on 41 felony counts for using connections at the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help his private clients seek federal funds for housing projects in Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Watt conceded that he had received $500,000 from clients who were granted very favorable housing contracts after he had intervened on their behalf. Watt was eventually sentenced to five years in prison and 500 hours of community service.
4. John Poindexter, Reagan's national security advisor, guilty of five criminal counts involving conspiracy to mislead Congress, obstructing congressional inquiries, lying to lawmakers, used "high national security" to mask deceit and wrong-doing...
5. Richard Secord pleaded guilty to a felony charge of lying to Congress over Iran-Contra. Appointed by William Casey to assist Oliver North.
6. Elliott Abrams was appointed by President Reagan in 1985 to head the State Department's Latin American Bureau. He was closely linked with ex-White House aide Lt. Col. Oliver North's covert movement to aid the Contras. Working for North, Abrams coordinated inter-agency support for the contras and helped solicit illegal funding from foreign powers as well as domestic contributors. Abrams agreed to cooperate with Iran-Contra investigators and pled guilty to two charges reduced to misdemeanors. He was sentenced in 1991 to two years probation and 100 hours of community service but was pardoned by President George Bush...
7. Robert C. McFarlane, Reagan's National Security Advisor, pled guilty to four misdemeanors and was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service. He was also fined $20,000. He received a blanket pardon from President George Bush...
It's a really long a really long Iist . Got bored reading it . "The American Petroleum Institute filed suit against the EPA [and] charged that the agency was suppressing a scientific study for fear it might be misinterpreted... The suppressed study reveals that 80 percent of air pollution comes not from chimneys and auto exhaust pipes, but from plants and trees." Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, in 1979. Holy shit Did that really happen . ? The shit people could get away with saying back then is incredible . But maybe not , because as I'm writing this I'm watching the tea party patriots end the Iran deal thing and trump is talking about how awesome he is , Sara palin is literally waxing stupid , I don't even know what the fuck she is trying to say , but she can still blow me if wants , glen beck is saying when people say there going to exterminate the Jew you should listen , and Michelle Bachman is saying we should just start bombing Iran . And the duck dynasty guy was there talking about God or something not sure why he was there but apparently these are the people conservatives look up too .
That was ....wow . Didn't give Reagan give weapons to Iran at one point?
Wow, great post. I didn't realize the Reagan administration was so rife with corruption. Have you seen this Libertarian cult leader Stefan Molyneux on youtube. He's apparently telling people to sever their ties with family if they don't follow extreme Libertarian views, because they want you shot. They want you shot because if you refuse to pay taxes and also resist arrest, you will be shot. It's a real mindfuck.
That link is to a video about it.
The way I see it, the Republican party is strangling itself with stupid. I can't tell you the number of Republicans I've talked to who are registering as democrats because the party has come unhinged. There is no equivalency here.
Giving Donald Trump a fucking microphone and following him 24/7 is just fucking stupid. And no, patlal, when I hear him talk, I am forced to turn away in shame. Shame that my country is so fucking stupid, and flagrantly displaying that fact to the entire world. If he actually becomes president, I may just wash my hands of this place, out of utter disgust. Then again, there's no telling who that maniac might bomb. At least if I move to Mexico there will be more English speakers there than ever before! lmao
Same shit different day, they are all idiots. Name one good nominee
It's eat race bullshit. That's real talk
