    FADE IN. BIDEN'S BASEMENT.

    So Biden's handlers finally agree to one debate, and just for a moment are completely astonished when Trump arranges a video call, split-screen, to discuss the details of this historic debate. Biden's pleased that he's not being pressured to leave his basement fortress. He says sure.

    The screens fire up and they get through the pleasantries and then Trump says, "They already gave you the questions, Joe, so why don't we just hold the debate right now, and I can come in off your front doorstep with my own camera crew and reporters. Absolutely any debate question you ask, I can handle it, so let's do it."

    Biden's screen goes dark. That night on Fox, Tucker Carlson asks, "Was this night the lights went out on Biden?"

    Good find. "Media lid" is a 2020 term if ever there was one. Keep a lid on anything positive Trump does, and snap to attention for whatever the Democrat tells you. Especially when it's stupid.

    Remember the left throwing fits because Rompin' Ronnie Reagan took afternoon naps? He was still available to the media the other hours of those same days. Biden hides.

    If I was going to write a book about the Reagan years, it would be titled The 1,001 Screwups of Ronald Reagan.

    Reagan lacked the math skill to manage a blue collar household budget. He had F all for management skill, the adminstration devolved into cliques fighting with each other.

    Every administration has its cliques fighting each other, all the way back through Lincoln and earlier. Every administration also has a steady personnel turnover rate as well --- some for legitimate family reasons, some for high-paying jobs, others for burnout, and a very few for dishonesty. Every administration.

    We see Trump clearing out the deadwood, the naysayers, the chumps and the charlatans. We see NO WAR and MIDEAST PEACE.

    This administration we see as winning. Bigly.

    A good president manages the people that work for him. For the most part, Reagan didn't. A reporter asked Tip O'Neil why they didn't impeach Reagan. His response was he just couldn't face doing it again. Meaning he felt he should have.

    I wasn't joking, Reagan made hundreds of mistakes, and some were whoppers.

    At risk of being accused of topic-diversion, I am not joking that he was the optimist America needed, at the time we really needed it. Consider that the media didn't like his policies but did not personally or professionally dislike the man. Mistakes? I make at least one a day just for the exercise.

    This era's media is vastly more savage than with Reagan. I'm not saying they weren't capable of it, but under Rompin' Ronnie they were too disarmed by his humor. This bunch viscerally hates Trump.

    I'm a recovering journo and I know I would get sore if someone called my product fake. In their case I lack all sympathy. It hurts to get spanked. They damned well had it coming. Make it a double serving with a whipped cream and cherry topping over their softballing Joe Biden. They're not serious about covering him if they also are not more public about these media lids. The public has the right to know Biden's avoiding the campaign trail. They have a right to know why.

    Reagan's people did a number of things that undermined economic stability. The country went from being the worlds largest creditor to being the worlds largest debtor. If you remember in 2008, a lot of the trouble came from subprime loans. Loans that the S&L banks handled before Reagan let them die. Then there was that kook Greenspan. And excessive deregulation.

    There's more on the economic front. And there's a ton of other places they screwed up. My fave is how the barbarian Christians thought AIDS was sent to punish gays. They wanted to help it spread. They almost got their wish. But Koop turned out to be one damn fine physician.

    Iran/Contra?

    There's literally hundreds more where those came from...

    All of them worse than Iran keeping US hostages for 444 days, a 21% prime rate and 18% home loans that stifled the economy, and the tearing down of the Berlin wall?
    It's OK, no need to answer. I understand anything to do with the name Ronald Reagan triggers all lefties.
    Ronald Regan.

    That's a weird one. Do you think Carter encouraged Iran? Btw, a couple of old Iranians have said Wild Bill cut a deal to hold the hostages until after the election. I don't have proof, but it's sort of thing Wild Bill would do. It also helps explain Iran/Contra, you wouldn't cut a deal like that with an enemy. You had to have built up some trust somehow...

    That wasn't Carter. It was an oil shock, a mistake by the Fed, and the bouncing around of an economy in a profound transition (from going off gold).

    If you want to give someone credit for the fall of the USSR, it would be the guy that came up with the plan, George F Kennan. By the time Reagan became president, Russia was near the end of it's rope.

    I had hoped you could notice how those economic moves I mentioned hugely deceased the stability of the economy. That's not just me saying that, a few years before the crash Greenspan said we should expect increased volatility. That was the understatement of the decade.

    And, fyi, I give most presidents since Ike a D or an F.

    Interesting. Considering that Kathy isn't a politician, that this photoshoot was a publicity stunt that backfired on her and that she has paid dearly for it, one has to wonder what is going through your mind considering the actual words Trump has said as documented in my video link. In months past, I would have exclaimed WTF, but now, I see that Trump supporters, in general, cannot address their own dear leader's abominable words, so they just keep pointing in other directions to distract from the conversation.

    Your comparison is a YUGE FAIL!

    Clearly you didn’t watch the video if you think it was just Kathy. How about the second talking head on cnn (whom they still employ) saying trump needs to be assassinated.

    Oh, the people of Poland and East Berlin may hold different opinions.

    "Tear down this wall!" was his line and with Thatcher and Walesa's and even the Pope's help, the impossible happened. But go ahead and downplay the very symbol of Soviet oppression dramatically torn down by a former Democrat and Hollywood actor, who understood more about Americans than Obama, either Clinton or the entire 2020 primary slate of losers.

    We got access to the documents of the USSR, and economic studies have been done.

    We have these things that aren't opinions.

    Wanna guess what they are?

    Reagan was there when George F Kennans plan worked.

    Okay, downplay it. It is still Reagan's legacy, that he was instrumental in helping crush the Soviet Union and end the Cold War.
