No matter how many times you post the joke, I heckle at it every time.

He was the best president

Reagan believed in individual liberties, unlike the current Republican party who believe in fascism, and Trump as their despot leader!

President @realDonaldTrump our beloved President Reagan never disappointed. I am confident this video will make you laugh. His delivery timing was impeccable.

"Morning or afternoon?" President Reagan's timing, cadence, demeanor, and subtle self-deprecation endeared him to all comers. They couldn't help but like him, even if they wouldn't admit it. Out great country was so lucky to have him. @wbtradio @brithume @newtgingrich @nytimes

It’s no wonder he got 525 EVs in ‘84. He brought moral clarity on this issue while everyone else was out looking for ways to compromise…

During President Trump’s State of the Union, my favourite moment wasn’t a line. It wasn’t the applause. It wasn’t politics. It was one smile. He didn’t smile the entire time — until he looked at his wife. As the daughter of a Major General, that meant everything to me. 🇺🇸🇦🇺

Mizkif says Asmongold’s FRAGILE EGO is the reason he turned into a grifter and started flip-flopping on his views about the situation in Iran. 😳 “It all started with Dark Souls — he hates being laughed at. It was the first time he got laughed at.” “HasanAbi and Asmon both say dumb sht, but at least Hasan believes the dumb sht he says, Asmon he just goes with any narrative that gets the most views.”

Red Dawn (1984) was called warmongering by peace activists and anti-war by others. Reagan loved it. The Soviet Union banned it. I didn’t know about any of that. I was 13, and it scared the crap out of me.

President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher not only teamed up to beat the Soviet Union; they also represented a rebirth of modern conservatism that lives on today. In fact, it is more important than ever today, as we see leftists proudly proclaim the label of “socialist” and openly promise voters DEPENDENCY on the state. The horrors of communism always started with the seemingly harmless promises of compassion and “fairness.”

PETRAEUS: Vladimir Putin is personification of evil with absolute power. He wants to reassemble as much of Soviet Union or Russian Empire as he can. He does not believe Ukraine has right to exist as independent country. We didn't listen carefully enough. He says it all out loud.

I recount a joke from the old Soviet Union: a man handing out leaflets in Red Square. Of course, the KGB arrested him and bring him back to headquarters. Only they discover the leaflets are blank sheets of paper. They confront him: "What is the meaning of this?" He says, “What’s there to say? It’s so obvious.” So the point of the joke was, he was generating subversive common knowledge. That is, the citizens of the Soviet Union, they all knew that the regime was inefficient and cruel and oppressive, but each one may have thought that they were the only one, that everyone else was happy. Or they may even have thought that everyone else was aggrieved the way they are, but they didn’t know that everyone else was. And so everyone just kept their misery to themselves. By just making it public, making it common knowledge that there’s a reason to oppose the regime, that can unite people in opposition and can really bring down a regime. Thinkable
