The veneration of the professional actor is very strange to me. Prior to Trump's administration, which has set records that will stand forever, no administration had more of its people get indicted than Reagan's.
His economic policies also destroyed the American middle class, which is destroying the country.
Ah. Here it is….the reversion to cvnt.
Assumed a moderately intelligent person would be able to infer that - by not including him with the others - clearly, I agree he is a leading voice in the Republican Party.
Interesting polarity changes in the currency markets and central bank holdings. VIX creeping up
The deification of any of our heroes shows that many are imperfect under scrutiny. Whether it was Kennedy or Reagan, Roethlisberger or D. Watson, Paterno or ... We need to be careful who we elevate. They are all human with human failings, some much worse than others.
Reagan much like many of our presidents is remembered for his personality more than his policies. Even I have fond memories of him. But I was also six when he was elected. It amazing to me how many of my generation exalt the Reagan years but were still in middle school while he was in office. When I ask them why they love him, their best answer is he stopped Russia. Yet, they have nothing to say about health care policy (AIDS), union busting, drug wars, IRAN Contra, Savings and Loans Scandals, economic policy, Space Shuttle Disaster, agriculture policy etc.
Some Reaganites also probably detest Bruce Springsteen but think Born in the USA is a great patriotic song. 🤷♂️
LoL sure. You chose the phony, babe in the woods routine yet again. The whole discussion is about you knowing exactly where this pro Russia sentiment is coming from, yet here you are pretending not to. Like all Trump voters, you simply are not capable of good faith debate.
Shame on me though for thinking you were. That's totally on me.
Explain this like I was a theater major but minor in Russian Studies with micro and macro-economics credits.

I am generally familiar with BRICs and US influence on World Currency markets.
I was referring specifically to your statement re: - Interesting polarity changes in the currency markets and central bank holdings. VIX creeping up...
I was hoping you could explain why this is significant, perhaps the possible ramifications on the Geopolitical front or is it just a financial/market impact.
Has Russian ever innovated something for the better? Going back 2 hundred years, it would seem they were happy going to war or market with inferior products but superior numbers.
Russians are not idiots. They have had success in science and engineering. Maybe, it is the corruption that does them in or the fact no one likes reporting bad news to the TSAR.
We are currently carrying a huge national debt that has to be serviced with higher rates With USD as a fiat currency for which there has been demand by global central banks for global trade, there has been minimal external restraints in our divided politics. The doors to the hen house were torn from the hinges by Nixon.
I have no idea how the current situation will play out with so many moving parts but the use of sanctions by the US to freeze assets and limit access to USD adds fuel to our enemies and economic competitors.
China has been selling bond holdings that pushes rates up Just a whole lot going on and VIX is a measure of fear in markets. It has been undervaluing the risk in markets Imho,
The pressures building currently not like anything I have ever seen.
Anybody listening to Putin's press conference from Vietnam with the Russian media asking the questions. He is really spinning the deep doo doo he apparently knows he has stepped in.
Seems a lot like the trump poor me spin
Appears the reporters asking questions slanted to Russia are being prompted on their phones

China won’t move on Taiwan. Its futile. China moves, Taiwan hits the self destruct button in the chip plants. If they were going to invade, it probably would’ve already happened
Other than you have your head so far up Oprah Winfreys ass you don’t actually see what happening in this country
It’s so cringy and honestly a reminder of how far we’ve fallen, to hear people defend elected officials who absolutely are corrupt.
We got people in this country literally willing to argue on message boards about how their guy who is bad human being, isn’t as bad as the other guy.
Maybe I’m naive, but I like to think Americans are waking up.
If you don’t want this country to be the best and be profitable, take care of its veterans and help with homeless and just become the best country in the world, why are you here?
If you don’t want elected officials who are lying and cheating and stealing your money to be locked up, called or held accountable, why are you here?
If you want communism, why are you here?
Do the righteous thing that so many before us did, go find a better future somewhere else. Be the hero your family needs.
You’re either team America or you’re not. Pick one.
The partison politics has degenerated into a short sighted reality TV show fueled by greed and self interest.
Vodka
While vodka’s origins are uncertain, some historians believe that the distilled spirit originated for medicinal purposes in Eastern Europe—either Russian or Polish—in the fifteenth century.
Some might consider the Kalashnikov superior to the M16 A1/A2. But other on this board might be better suited to answer that.
