Reagan Myth #3,097
Reagan liked to think of himself as a "small government" president. He even had cute little sayings mocking the government. And this is how most Republicans still remember him.
But there were more federal employees when he left office than when he was inaugurated.

Donald Trump isn't taking the RNC's defeat in the Supreme Court very well. I agree it was a "tremendous loss" for him and the GOP. I am always happy to oblige in delivering him court defeats.😂
Thankfully, it was a great victory for voters and free and fair elections!

Apparently John Williams music is too dangerous for the National Guard. They were intimidated by a guy playing Star Wars music on his phone at a moderate volume near them. Embarrassed much, guys?

WATCH: “Where’s the evidence? You’ve never presented any evidence.”
Unhinged, lying Trump has a MELTDOWN and WALKS OFF when Welker refuses to let him get away with lying about rigged elections.
Finally some pushback.

My thought on the moment is that he’s just a useful idiot being kept around, his information carefully curated, his health and cognitive decline managed by teams of professionals, in order to make obscene amounts of money for the world’s worst people, the human consequences be damned.

In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:
Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files
Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

📰🇪🇺 Fears grow in Europe that Putin could attack within a year — WP
Previously, Berlin and other capitals believed that Russia could threaten NATO’s eastern flank by 2029. Now, the consensus is growing that it could happen much sooner — before Europe can build up its own military power.
