Der fuehrer is never wrong. The American right has always been friends
with Putin and Russia and regards all former allies and friends as our
mortal enemy who our leader will bluster and crap about, filling his
diaper with shit while he demonstrates his cognitve decline with
incoherent ramblings based on lies, conspiracy theories and Kremlin
propaganda. All rightists in the USA now agree that Ukraine was the
agressor in the war and viciously attacked innocent Putin's Russia, same
as the new Trump idea that Poland viciously attacked Nazi Germany to kick
off WW2 (who we were duped to fight for the wrong team).

Putin is very pleased with Trump's performance and promises his reward on
Trump's next debriefing visit to Moscow.

It's touching how Hegseth has remained in Moscow to pleasure Putin until
Trump arrives to take over for him.

Republicans STILL like Reagan.

He was the Trump before Trump.

However Trump IS more of a "Get It Done" kind
of POTUS. He sure didn't waste any time ...

Reagan speeches WERE a lot easier to listen
too however :-)

Reagan was a classic, traditional Republican much like JFK was
a traditional Democrat.
Both are probably spinning in their graves if they are seeing what a mess
the parties currently are.

Reagan's biggest mistake IMHO was relying on trickle down economics as
the sole cure for the economy.
It *CAN* work but needs to be carefully monitored to ensure the corporations
getting the tax breaks don't simply feed it to shareholders or enrich themselves
without lowering prices.
And that's pretty much what happened.

Reagan speeches were powerful and well thought out.
I can't even listen to a Trump speech.
Obama had decent speeches.

And crawling in bed with the evangelists.


"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get
control of the Republican party, and they're
sure trying to do so, it's going to bea terrible
damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me.
Politics and governing demand compromise. But
these Christians believe they are acting in the
name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.
I know,I've tried to deal with them."

That's also why trickle-down economics has never worked, and
structurally why they can't under capitalism: corporate priority is to
put the stockholders' interests above all else, so that's where tax
breaks will flow, and opportunities to lower profits are resisted.

Granted, one could add strict regulations on how an enterprise must be
run, but these would be opposed as burdensome/unnecessary, as well as
pointed to as a socialistic 'seizing the means of production'.

Prioritization could be an answer to this. Certain things just must be
regulated.

It's important to me, if I'm running a corporation that if I tighten a
screw here I should loosen up some tape elsewhere so that there is give
and take...

That goes over most management heads.

If an employee gets more governing rules that punish, there must be
compensation in exchange.
