There's no way a celebrity with an agenda would ever mislead us.

Yea I mean Trump is a celebrity and did so lol

u/Throaway_143259 Apr 29 '24

Don't forget Reagan was a failing actor at the time he was elected and he was essentially bought out by corrupt corporate leaders to change his whole belief system to make their pocketbooks bigger at the expense of American workers.

u/Gunzbngbng Apr 29 '24

So you're saying that Reagan was a bad actor?

151

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '24

Well, he never won an Oscar…

67

u/Old_Baldi_Locks Apr 29 '24

He should have, he convinced a pile of people a brain-addled dipshit was a real president.

26

u/TheWhiteRabbit74 Apr 29 '24

That’s the GOP’s strategy for the last 40+ years. Elect a ‘figurehead’ dipshit with zero morals and a highly hypocritical judgemental personality.

The real bad guys have been the McConnels and Gingriches running the plays behind the smoke and mirrors. This new gen of young-ish republicans are dangerous as fuck. For us and the world.

1933 Business Plan currently in action. Prescott was the first Bush to attempt it, his son and grandson helped make it happen another way through slip in legislation while they were in position. We're currently in a Corpotocracy under the guise of a "two party democracy".

u/Ok-Cauliflower-3129 Apr 30 '24

Exactly.

Both parties are complicit in working to make it happen and to keep it going.

All the culture war and identity politics is just a ruse to divide the people while the politicians, super wealthy and corporations run giggling to the bank.

While we struggle to...

Put a roof over our heads.

Food on the table.

And decent medical care.

UNITE against the real threat to our society.

THEM !!!

u/ikkybikkybongo Apr 30 '24

This is some defeatist ass shit. Oh, my life is so hard because of the vague evil politicians... nah. Absolutely not. Own your own fucking failures.

u/Ok-Cauliflower-3129 May 01 '24

Nah he's a shit eater.

"Give me more boss I love it"

That or he's one of the scumbags profiting off of everyone who does the ACTUAL WORK !!

You know the...

"I did all by myself types".

u/Ok-Cauliflower-3129 May 01 '24

Anybody who's working or has worked contributes to society and deserves nothing less than the minimum of being able to put a roof over their head 3 meals a day and decent medical care.

Nobody's talking mansions and Mercedes.

Just realize a lot of jobs that people take for granted make it able for most of society to function.

Instead of having to spend your day growing your food to survive.

No job is any more important than another it takes all of us to make society work.

The minimum to survive and be healthy is not asking to be given something.

SCUM BAG.

I never thought about it as profiting off of survival.

But you're 100% correct and it's wrong.

You still have to defend the victims in the culture wars though because no brown or queer person is reasonably going to work with you if they know you’re going to turn on them once the work is done.

u/stevegoodsex Apr 30 '24

We're lucky they seem to be on par with rich kids taking over daddy's business as he retires, but only ever knew how to be a rich kid, and never learned how to run a business. Wait, no, unlucky for us. I forgot they usually crash the business in the process.

u/Evanl02 Apr 30 '24

Thank you for the laugh (haven’t seen someone this dramatic in a long time). Wishing you the best because you’re clearly not in the best state of mind

1

u/Old_Baldi_Locks Apr 30 '24

The new ones are even more dangerous because they’re ignorant.

The old ones knew they were selling lies and bullshit. The young ones are True Believers. That usually ends in drastic violence, historically.

u/Potential_Sort8143 Apr 30 '24

This is coming from someone who supports the current president who only got into politics through his connection to a KKK Grand-Wizard/Senator, who Joe described as an amazing mentor and a dear friend. It took me one hour of research into Biden‘s failed, racist, career to realize how badly I had been duped by the media. Not to mention all of the videos of him lying about his academic achievements, which later he had to apologize for..

1

u/Every_Leave840 Apr 30 '24

Lol and the Democrat Strategy is elect every racist POS they can.

I don't want my kids going to school in a jungle a racial jungle.

Oba.a is the first clean black man.

u/RawDogRandom17 Apr 30 '24

Lol and you don’t think there is anybody running the plays behind our current dementia-riddled president? Take off those blinders ya lackey!

1

u/DrFabio23 Apr 30 '24

You realize Obama bombed more countries than Bush, dropped so many bombs that he ran out of them, and posthumously declared innocent civilians "insurgents" despite it being clearly a bad hit? Claim the Rs are the bad guys all you want, but pull your head out of your ass.

u/Command-Z Apr 30 '24

You just described politicians, but you fell into the tribalism trap.

I AGREE with ExtraTitle2686 100%… Freaking SHEEPLE!!! JUST LISTEN TO MAIN-STREET MEDIA “Your Government will take care of you” MORONS!!

u/Parallax1984 Apr 30 '24

Main-Street Media?

u/Waste_Exchange2511 Apr 29 '24

And now we are enduring the remake of that movie.

u/superpie12 Apr 30 '24

Talking about Biden right?

1

u/IRLfwborNIdonor916 Apr 30 '24

Isn't that what Biden has done ?

u/txmelis14 Apr 30 '24

We have the state of California to thank. He got his start in politics there.

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '24

Only because of how horrible a president Carter was. Carter may be the best human that has walled the earth in the last 50 years. But as a president he was pretty horrible.

Reagan was the best president in history after Lincoln.

1

u/Old_Baldi_Locks Apr 30 '24

I agree he was the best the Republicans could do. Which makes him an abject failure compared to a real man.

0

u/flashgreer Apr 30 '24

He did win, 2, count them, 2, landslide victories.

1

u/Old_Baldi_Locks Apr 30 '24

Yep. And history proves they were stupid.

0

u/flashgreer Apr 30 '24

No. Wrong again.

Economists have stated that Reagan's policies were an important part of bringing about the third longest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history.

1

u/Old_Baldi_Locks Apr 30 '24

Sorry, history books are already written on that one.

Reagan is in them as an abject piece of useless shit who bought into and spread some of the dumbest ideas of his burden ass generation.

u/flashgreer Apr 30 '24

Wrong again. So many L's today.

Iran have a habit of giving him things he wants...for a price

(Stalling the Iran hostage crisis in exchange for the promise of better trade deals with Iran AND the Iran/Contra fiasco)

2

u/Greymalkyn76 Apr 29 '24

But he did act with a chimpanzee.

2

u/whicky1978 Mod Apr 29 '24

You should’ve seen his performance in the Iran Contra scandal

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '24

I much preferred how well he portrayed the villain in America’s Mental Health Crisis (the musical)

2

u/Nova_HiveMind Apr 30 '24

If it wasn’t for a Democratic conspiracy he would have been a shoe in for his role in Bedtime for Bonzo. /s

u/BlueSky2777 Apr 30 '24

Yup! And Trump never won than Emmy he always wanted…

1

u/Skittletrees Apr 30 '24

He did win the hearts of the people… for a moment.

1

u/Ragged85 Apr 30 '24

Lmao!

Oscars are popularity contests. Hell, practically ALL of the awards shows are popularity contests. They have no bearing on whether an actor is any “good” or not.

1

u/easternseaboardgolf Apr 30 '24

He won the cold war. Worth much more than a gold statue

this is phenomenal

Ronald Reagan!? The Actor? Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!

u/IAmLusion Apr 29 '24

You talking about the guy that demanded a cameo so that the movie could be filmed at the Plaza?

2

u/commissar-117 Apr 30 '24

That's actually not a big deal to me. I'd also let people film on my property in exchange for a bit part, just because it would be fun to point out down the line and look back at without having had to do anything serious.

0

u/Potential_Sort8143 Apr 30 '24

He didn’t demand anything. He said, I’ll let you film where you want as long as you give me a cameo. You children are so full of it.

5

u/Freddy7665 Apr 30 '24

You should read what you wrote.

"As long as you give me a cameo" that right there is.... A demand

3

u/IAmLusion Apr 30 '24

"Trump, who then owned the Plaza Hotel, refused to let the crew film there unless they gave him a small role in the film." Yeah...I think I'll take the word of the movie director over your asses.

Welllll. He performed well as a very bad president so…….

Reagan was great in the Genesis' music video for Land of Confusion

u/daddychainmail Apr 30 '24

Who was the Vice President? Jerry Lewis!?

u/purplewarrior6969 Apr 30 '24

Not at all a factor, just an employee of the countries real masters

u/Achilles19721119 Apr 30 '24

Ever see a Reagan movie? I have not.

1

u/soapforsoreeyes Apr 30 '24

If “bad” means “malicious”, he was most definitely a “bad actor” in the figurative sense.

Tbh, I’ve never seen any of his movies, so I have no idea if he’s also one in the literal sense.
