38. HW

Thursday

did the same thing as Cheney/Bush did with WBush...........Using Reagan as a "front man" while HW ran things in the back ground........HW was the perfect guy to work Treasonously with IRAN, being the previous head of CIA for years........

Getting Reagan installed was the start of 46+ years of massive amounts of corruption by these "New" Republicans.....
Over 100 of Reagan's CABAL were indicted for corruption, the first day HW was in office, after 8 years of Reagan, the first thing HE did was to pardon those 100+.............(sound familiar???????) They accomplished countless things to bring down the middle class, and to lower the wealthy's tax rates AND corporate tax rates substantially.......all done from the shadows and behind smoke a mirrors. No different than Cheney Rumsfeld did during WBush's years, and even more so during the Trump Terms........

A perfect title for a book about the past 46+ years of America Politics would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT

Another book title for the future would be: THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA

Hang in there RN........we ain't seen nothing yet........The Heritage Foundations and 2025 group are running all of this from the shadows, with Trump as their front man..........with the complete backing of a 95+% Republican owned/operated Media, the Republican Senators, The Republican House Members, and the United States Supreme Court Republican Justices......
AND an ever increasing number of Republican State Governors........esp states like Florida and Texas......
