A well-meaning President roadblocked by a political minority

History repeats itself…breaker, breaker add the internet to the 70s and here we are.
Remember what happened in 1980?

1. Right on the money.
Waiting for Disco to come back from the dead. At least there was dancing.
Have a Heart on me. Great post.

25. THIS, so much this...
Spot on, mopinko.
My head is spinning at how they have successfully fooled the people into fighting each other, rather than fighting them.
As long as they control the message, it will be hard to ever gain the upper hand.
The M$M needs to be broken up again...and ripped from their bloody hands.

8. The return of stagflation driven by energy prices
Imports of commodities and goods denominated in dollars will drive inflation.
The US economy is less competitive with other countries who will be able to pay higher prices for raw materials and manufactured goods.

17. Yes
And it is hard not to follow that thread into the future and wonder what the Reagan 2.0 will look like.
Much like Carter, Biden is a good man that is in danger of being overrun by worldwide circumstances that are not within the control of any President.

30. Biden seems more like Ford
Both had long Congressional experience, no executive experience.
Ford pardoned Nixon; Biden has gone easy on Trump.
South Vietnam collapsed; Afghanistan collapsed.
Inflation started following the '73 oil crisis.
Swine flue pandemic.
Moderate at odds with the more radical wing of the party.

19. I think the times are more akin to the 1930s.
The rise of Fascism.

I've been saying the same thing for months. Looking forward to President Ronald (Reagan) DeSantis!

:rotf: Throw in the 60s, and how many "Older DUers" are lucid enough to recognize that they are The Establishment, The Man, targeted by protests.
On the side, Carter's more recently expressed, very public, antisemitism has me wondering about how good his intentions actually were, but even assuming they were "good", his wrong-headed policies and ineptitude defeated any good intentions he might have had.

Yes, such as by promoting the idea that the vaccinated need protection from the unvaccinated.

and that every white person is actively oppressive every non-white person. No fooling people into fighting each other there.
And whose hands is the MSM in again? None so blind as those who refuse to see.

I see they continue with the "against their own best interests" B.S..

You just posted that on the biggest hate site on the Internet.
This DUmmie needs an irony mirror, big time.
