Reagan made it virtuous to be completely greedy and gleefully fuck over the poor, W. Bush made it acceptable to cheat anyway you can to win and ignore the rule of law, and Trump has made it mainstream to publicly and vocally express your hatred of minorites.
So how the hell can anyone still think they are the party of Christian values?

(82,849 posts)His lame duck dead-of-night pardons of the Iran/contra felons on Christmas Eve 1992 showed that Ford's pardon of Nixon wasn't just a one-off. If you're a Republican, there is no penalty for breaking federal law.
I hope the next Democratic administration doesn't get so caught up in looking forward to the future that it doesn't prosecute the crimes of the past. Or we'll get a chance to do it all again.

(11,686 posts)in office since I started to notice politics I thought reagan was the worst until trump took office. I now think trump is the worst but reagan comes right on his tail. I do think both shrubberies were bad also I say they take an equal 3rd.
