Prickly City by Scott Stantis for February 13, 2024

New name for orange, Putins puppy!

They may want to take a seat and 2 dozen Xanax!

Reagan does not belong in that group.

“If you’ve seen one redwood, you’ve seen them all.”

She forgot dick, the greatest of them all! I liked Ike but I wasn’t old enough to vote until I had developed a strong hatred for dick. Most of the candidates haven’t been very good from either party. No sane person would want the job.

Three Republicans that could not get elected today.

You can trace trump to Reagan. You can trace today’s supremes to Goldwater. All those republicans who don’t like trump – they never admit that they created him.

Carmen better have smelling-salts as well as chairs for her visitors…

An homage to Pavlov

Tricky Dick was a consummate politician. Not many like him left in the world (actually Joe Biden has the same kind of instincts). He did some good, but he started having an inflated idea of his own importance, and began doing dishonest things to try to stay in power (he was also drinking a lot then).

Reagan was nothing like Roosevelt and Eisenhower. The proper Republican Trinity would include Lincoln, not Ronny.

Well two out of three with integrity is more than we have now! Reagan tipped the scales towards the very rich at the expense of the poor and working classes! All his friends were very rich.

Don’t teaze them, Carmen. They obviously don’t have seats.

You forgot Lincoln, Stantis. And yesterday was his birthday.

I was going to object to the inclusion of the actor who played a president, but y’all have it well covered.

I called at least 1/3 of it!

Get rid of Ronnie and add Abe, and you’ll actually have something.

TR and Ike would have no place in the modern Republican Party. TR was a conservationist who bought tons of Federal land. Ike started huge Government projects like the Interstate, expanded Social Security, supported unions, and refused to cut the top tax rate.

Reagan was AWFUL, and I would still take him over the Orange Clown in a heartbeat.

The Republican Party has morphed into a populist party. It’s a right-wing populism, so the left easily slides into slandering its supporters as ‘fascist’, if not crypto-Nazi. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is demonstrating how readily its component, self-focused, identity groups fall into internecine conflict; that party’s death will take longer and be more bitter than the GOPs, but just as assured.

Ted knew the threat of monopolies. Ike knew the threat of the military-industrial complex. Ron knew we need to raise taxes because social security is worth saving, & our immigration laws are unworkable.

They should all be spinning in their graves.

Eisenhower, the first republican to follow FDR and Truman, was vilified by his own party for not repealing the New Deal. Namely Social Security. They had already forgotten the Great Depression and the effect it had on the elderly. Teddy Roosevelt left office and handed the reigns of his party to William Howard Taft. Roosevelt soon became disgruntled at Taft’s approach to the presidency so he founded the Progressive Party and ran for office in 1912. He split the Republican vote and helped the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, to win.A little history in case anybody needed to know.

I would place Lincoln in a drawing with Teddy and Ike, but Reagan? Never!

Silent Cal would have been way better than Reagan.

Reagan was very easy to get along with as a PERSON, which puts him leagues ahead the Mr.“Chump”.

Sadly, I remember him as the guy who cost The Three Stooges their residuals when he was head of The Screen Actors Guild
