But they still played a huge part in wrecking the country.

Heh, Reagan was a venal tool who'd say anything or do anything, no matter how vile, for a blowjob and a pile of money. I saw him at a public appearence during his second term and he was a confused old man who didn't know where the hell he was or what he was doing there. But he managed to get a few good sound bytes off, and that's what they showed on the evening news.
I realize now that's always been how the U.S.A. works.

(38,325 posts)Bytes is a word I use more often than "bites" and represents a small amount of information, misinformation, or noise.
Political sound bites, unlike most foods, are seldom nutritious in any way. But then there's also the aggressive connotation of "biting" an opponent with a few words.
The Opus interactive audio codec does a pretty good rendition of human voices at 8 kilobytes per second. The typical data rate for an ordinary MP3 is 128 kilobytes per second.
But I do hate Reagan. Our friends and our hemophilia patients were dying of AIDS and those assholes were still telling gay jokes.

I have been told by friends I will burn in hell for it
If I do I hope it's the Fundamentalist Christian hell
I understand there are some very very cool people there
Ken Kesey, Jerry Garcia, JD Salinger, Da Vinci, Galileo, Van Gogh, David Bowie
A place where using your mind and having fun, being different and questioning authority are the right kind of sin
Anyway for my first post here
Fuck Reagan would be a good place to start.

PatrynXX
(5,668 posts)the one that was adopted but is still Republican doesn't like Trump being compared to Reagan. well yeah Trumps a bit better than Reagan however if I had to think on it. today 1. Reagan probably wouldn't get anywhere 2. he'd be called a Progressive (I still believe there is a difference. Progressive is for those who aren't that left wing and hate the name Liberal and then there's some of us who love the name and tend to be Left wing in most things. I can't be all. )
3. Reagan had an obsession with calling people Socialist. So he might be ape about being near a false Socialist like Bernie. Donald no problem. Plump really doesn't owe anyone anything because they railed on him. should be interesting. Bush's Male side of the family much worse. although at least Sr is a bit more Progressive over the years.

(9,350 posts)If you are talking about the fact that Patti Davis and Michael Reagan came out against Will Ferrell's comedy that was going to focus on Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's Disease I disagree with you. It was wrong for Will Ferrell and anyone in Hollywood who was associated with that movie to consider putting out that movie.
It would have been wrong to make a movie that could be seen as making fun of Alzheimer's Disease. That is a horrible disease with which many families, Democrats and Republicans, are struggling. Reagan's family is right, there is nothing funny about Alzheimer's Disease.
ScreamingMeemie
(68,918 posts)There are many, MANY things to make fun of Reagan about... creating a film poking fun of his Alheimer's diagnosis is too much. May they continue to have issues finding financing. I thought both Ron Jr. and Patti's responses were dead on perfect.

(39,377 posts)A 50s throwback attempt with a whole lot of OTT Christianity and modern financial piracy added in. A lot of us just shaking our heads in disbelief. One lesson for me at least: this country's a better place when there's a Democrat in the White House.
