1. "Look at that, you son of a bitch."

so few understand

[yuiyoshida]

22. The tiny blue dot

[floppyboo]

2. bring back good LSD - save tax payer dollars n/t

[MisterP]

15. not too far off, actually

[SoLeftIAmRight]

23. not the best hallucinogen

but will serve in a pinch

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

34. In my mind mescaline is best.

6000 + years of natural knowledge.

[Warpy]

29. That would open up a lot of people

but I also know people who tripped in the 60s, got scared, and retreated into loving Jebus and voting Republican. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it, and some folks don't have a lot to put into it.

[navarth]

45. sadly true

[scottie55]

3. Our World Needs So Much Work

Our species spends 99% of it's time fighting over gold, and not giving much of a damn about anyone, or anything else.

What we need is so far beyond "Socialism or Capitalism" it makes one wonder.....

[Zorro]

4. We're living in Reagan's world

[kpete]

5. Yep

you got that one right
and I am old enough to know,

peace,
kp

[SusanCalvin]

6. Sadly, yes.

We weren't perfect, but we were on the right track until *that* son of a bitch (and his handlers, because I don't think he was that bright) stole the 1980 election.

[3catwoman3]

11. He was most definitely...

...not that bright. He reminded me of a Chatty Cathy doll - pull the string for about a dozen canned responses.

[Plucketeer]

13. Reagan's portrayal as president

was every bit as stellar as his hollywood portrayals were. His most convincing role was in the autobiographical flick: "My life as a box of rocks"

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

21. I thought he deserved an Oscar for his role,

Only Peter Sellers did it better.

[Plucketeer]

30. An Oscar Mayer maybe.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

35. My favorite Reagan quote.

" I never know where I'm going until someone tells me "

[toothless dragon]

20. you mean that traitor... who conspired against the Government

[SusanCalvin]

24. Yep, sure do.

[world wide wally]

14. Actually, It's the world of Reagan's Junior Rangers on steroids

[Jenny_92808]

43. Reagan/Thatcher

Greed world! They are in HELL NOW! They were Evil to the core! Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil Evil!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jenny_92808]

46. Reagan stole the election

by using the southern strategy ..... sending dog whistles to the masses to hate black and brown people. Evil! I wish I was browner, because I am so white that I cannot endure being in the sun very long. My pale skin does not take well to sun damage.

[sammythecat]

49. I forget who said it, speaking of humankind,

"We have become very clever, but not yet wise."

[Duppers]

7. This has been one of my favorite quotes.

[SoapBox]

8. Truth.

Time for the Political Revolution.

[turbinetree]

10. Yep---------------------and it is a coming.......................November

Feel the Bern

Honk------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[The Jungle 1]

9. Mark Twain

I bet Mr. Mitchell liked Mark Twain. They speak the same plain language.

It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
Mark Twain

America at its finest.

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Very good quote......n/t

[negoldie]

16. A favorite

Mark Twain quote (although I would have to look it up to verify the exact wording) goes like this: "May I die in Kentucky (I am a native Kentuckian, but you could insert your own state if you wish) as it is always twenty years behind."

[SusanCalvin]

27. That's no lie.

We (foolishly, at least in some respects) moved from coastal CA to deep East TX in 1991, and it was definitely a time warp.

https://m.

(Full disclosure: I am a native Texan, and spent the bulk of my childhood, unhappily in large part, in deep East Texas.)

ETA: I don't mean unhappily because of my family, I mean because of deep East Texas.

[malokvale77]

32. I feel for you.

My daughter lives there. Louis Gohmert is her Rep. She's not a happy camper.

[SusanCalvin]

33. Oh my. She's even worse off than I am.

[immoderate]

37. Who can explain Louis Gohmert? I mean, don't they know!??

--imm

[malokvale77]

38. Believe me, he's not her choice.

I have never been able to explain Texas, much less East Texas.

[immoderate]

39. Oh, I believe you, LOL.

--imm

[Jenny_92808]

44. I don't understand

how people from his area CANNOT see his evil. Why are they so stupid?

[WillyT]
