I feel like I've said this before, but maybe letting right wing billionaires own all the major media outlets was a bit of an oopsie.
what I would not give to have 70's style regulation again, of course getting rid of citizens united would be bigger but owe man I hate the direct we have taken since the 80's
The older I get, the more I realize just how much I hate Ronald fucking Reagan.
yup. it reminds me a bit of nixon. growing up I understood he was bad but boy how rabidly upset he would make folks older than I. I did not get it but then I learned more and more about his actions and understood over time. Reagan same but experienced it. One thing is you don't even know the real bad stuff till its to late. People still don't seem to understand iran contra or the october surprise. effed up. now we just had trump. can you imagine the stuff we don't know yet. ugh.
The Reagans fucked this country like Hollywood fucked Nancy's mouthhole.
Tha throat goat.
Tracy Morgan: "gurgle gurgle"
He’s also the one who set the precedent in 1986 of support in the Israel-Iran proxy conflict that we’re protesting today.
He did that after supplying Iran with arms in the Iran-Contra scandal.
Prior to that, he removed foreign aid from Israel, and then supplied military aid under specific agreement that they use it to invade Lebanon and attack Hezbollah.
He put this shit pot on the stove and started stirring.
"Fun" fact: Those two things are connected! Without the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine by Reagan's FCC in 1987, the group called Citizens United would likely not have been able to form in 1988, as they would have been required to provide opposing viewpoints when they expressed their terrible views on national tv or radio networks.
Additional fun fact: Rush Limbaugh's nationally syndicated radio show (which began in 1988) also would not have been possible without the repeal of the fairness doctrine.
unholy hannah. thanks. I did not know this connection. Once again finding out more about a politician make me hate them more.
And Limbaugh opened the door for Hannity, Alex Jones, and the rest of the Faux News screaming liars.
Its almost like they were just waiting in the wings to swoop out and create these social bubbles for the sole purpose of weakening the American people.
Just a little uh-oh Woopsie-doodle flub
