Now if you meant ad homenim then that you would mean you insulted me because you can't carry out a logical conversation/ argument.

If you meant ad hoc that would mean you're just piling bullshit, because you can't have a logical conversation.

You are thoroughly confusing me! Did i insult you because I couldn't hold a logical conversation, or did you insult me? Did I pile on extraneous bullshit or was that you?

Honestly, your ad homenim, ad hoc, non sequitur nonsense has me thoroughly confused.

Your cult remark was an ad homenim remark (you might want to go look that up to refresh your memory) .

Just sayin.

Never took it personally.

But some "less enlightened people" seem to relish in besmirching Reagan's name with Trump's.

Present company excluded, I'm sure, of course!

I'm sorry. My bad.

I forgot to mention unemployment insurance and workman's compensation insurance costs.

OK let's talk about the Iran contra issue.

I watched the hearings on CSPAN EVERY SINGLE DAY!

So. Ollie North overcharged the Iranians for weapons and used the proceeds to fund the Contras. What exactly is your problem with that? Check one box only please.

1. He overcharged the Iranians for arms.
2. He used the proceeds to stave off a legitimately evil, hateful, genocidal regime.

One box only please!

Well you insulted my hero. Not trump! I would consider trump and Reagan as 2 poles on the opposite sides of a sphere. Think north and south pole. Trump is actually more like a virus that caused a genetic mutation. No joke.

1. I've been the employer that hired people to do their job. Trust me, it's not just taking money in, and laughing all the way to the bank. Every dollar that i saved is another dollar I can sink into the company or pay higher wages. "OH wait, company xyz offered you 10% more? I can match that" . I need a buffer. I was not a "capitalist class" . How many complainers have actually run a business that employed people, and had to meet payroll , and had to meet payroll taxes and keep their employees and customers happy?
2. I was there when HIV became an issue. We had no idea what caused it, how it spread, or what to do about it. It took some time. I was there!
3. No Reagan didn't "laugh" when gay people died. - give me 1 unbiased, verifiable link to substantiate that claim.
4. I'm very sorry but we are 39 trillion dollars in the hole, as laudable as providing state hospitals may have been, we can not afford it at this time. Find a better way. So, what, we'd be like 44 trillion in debt. Is that the inheritance you want to leave your kids?

As a business owner I've had to balance budgets for decades. I would've loved to buy that greatest, tech wizzbang thing; it would save/ make so much money. Sorry. Just cant afford it. Like it or not, the BBB allows companies to fully depreciate an asset in the 1st year (i had to wait decades) freeing up more cash to pay higher wages.

I hate DJT. He is everything Reagan was not.

I WON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SULLY THE NAME OF REAGAN BY ASSOCIATING IT WITH TRUMP TO TRY TO FURTHER THEIR POLITICAL AGENDA! IT IS DISINGENUOUS TO SAY THE LEAST.

DJT and the maga agenda must be hamstriged, hogtied, disabled, overridden, axed, rendered useless, shutdown, crippled, discombobulated, to say the least.

There is no limit to his madness!

Psychopath.

Total B.S. I was on topic. Trump and MAGA are not the philosophical offspring of Reagan. They are a mutation. They hijacked the party. Trump is the polar opposite of Reagan.

Reaganomics beat the shit out of whatever Carter was doing in the 70's; gas shortages with long lines, hyperinflation, mortgage rates went from 8.85% to 16.64% in 4 years. You may well not like Reaganomics, but it damn well saved the country from stagflation.

Reagan was a self deprecating optimist who believed that America is that shining city on a hill whose best days lie before her. Trump is a loud mouth, divisive, egotistical piece of shit, who is only out for himself and will persecute you to the end of the earth for saying anything bad about him. Their policies, politics, personalities, agendas, world view, are completely opposite.

It's really not difficult to disagree without being disagreeable. I think we all pretty much agree that we need to get this chubby, cheating, Cheeto in chief outta there. In the meantime, liberals and conservatives can have lively debates without making it personal.

You're just not too bright, so I'll bite my tongue. But Trump has nothing to do with Reagan. Full stop.

Sorry man. But EVERYTHING I've seen about Netanyahu is just BLOODLUST! They totally leveled Gaza and the Palestine territories they occupied.

THIS IS NOT THE WAY!

I used to be a trump and Israel supporter, but my God! How much blood thirst is enough?

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

When the orange Cheeto lost to Biden and approved the execution of Pence, ("so what") that was the end. This worthless sore loser POS was hell bent on mass destruction.

No dipshit, you don't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, or to put your name or image on passports, park passes, or $250 bills. No, stupid, we don't want or need to see your ugly mug or name on the Kennedy center or federal buildings.

Just go quietly, into that dark, nameless abyss you crawled out from.

You have made America a much worse place, you divisive fuck head!

• damn proud Reagan Republican

Did trump not understand the Declaration of Independence when they read it to him and drew stick figures for him?

The world i live in is the one that warns Vance and Rubio that they will lose their jobs if they don't listen to the people.

Trump has left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth that they would do well to heed the warning that they will be out of power in congress for 40+ years (like 1950's - 1990's) and they will lose the Whitehouse for the next 12-16 years, if they don't change their ways.

This Reagan Republican is voting straight blue this time around. This wackjob has to be stopped. Period. Full stop.

Totally get it and totally agree.

Custer, in his arrogance, ignorance and obstinance got what he deserved at Little Bighorn.

No one can deny that we stole this land from the native Americans. It wasn't me or my ancestors, but here were are.

I hope we can make the most of it with the time we have left here together.

Respect!

Straight up: Donald Trump is a tyrant!

He targets everyone who says anything bad about him. The Projector in chief, who claimed that the Biden administration weaponized the DOJ against their enemies:

Yeah. No.

DJT is the the one who has weaponized the DOJ against his enemies. I honestly don't understand why the congress has not impeached and removed him already, or why jd and Rubio haven't removed him under the 25th amendment.

This two time Trump voter, and 2 time Reagan voter will vote straight blue this November.

Adios, Hotwheels. Adios, Paxton. Adios, Dan Patrick.

This fucking idiot and his ideology have to be stopped. Tomorrow is not soon enough!

The guy is clearly insane and out of control. This is squarely on the heads of JD Vance and Marco Rubio for not invoking the 25th amendment. This was obviously not a military target and was designed to cause mass civilian casualties and death.

OH HELL NO! Not in our name!

Wait.

Is that the new Whitehouse Trump portrait? It should be, it captures his essence.

I have never seen such bloodthirst in my 64 year life.

Trump, Vance, hegseth, Rubio, Blanche, have no regard for human life.
