I think he's better than Reagan. Reagan made a lot of stupid mistakes like closing down the insane asylums.
Because by this point your just watching a super hero movie where the cars are their summons/battles suits.
And you’re proving why doomers are faggots.
I hate that image so fucking much.
Love me some Mark Dice. Sam Francis and Joe Sobran are his spirit animals.Look if Mark Dice can manage to behave himself, then the god damn corporate newsmedia can figure it out.
Reagan closed the mental asylums when he was governor of California with the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act was passed 13 of August 1981. It stopped a ton of federal funding for insane asylums which made them have to close. Ronald Reagan took office 20th of January 1981.
You blaming Reagan for a reconciliation package after all we've been through with reconciliation packages and how massive they are, seems silly to me. I'm not saying it's wrong, I just think it's strange to assign this much agency to the president for something he didn't draft. Do you really think this would've been allowed to continue if a democrat had won? The whole country wanted them gone. It had been a decade in the works.
oh my god guys, they went to israel.
this is not true. reagan pushed for and signed the OBRA of 1981, which repealed basically all of carter's reforms for the mental health system, and pushed it all onto states to handle, which was obviously too expensive, and led to the failure of the american institutional psychiatric system as a whole. if you have ever tried to find a place for a mentally ill loved one in a care facility, even for a short term, it is both ridiculously hard to get a bed, and obscenely expensive even with private insurance.
that was the point of carter's reforms in the first place. the omnibus completely destroyed those reforms immediately. i promise you, the loss of mental asylums as they COULD have been is a genuine problem the US is going to have to face at some point. we are going to have to either kill or institutionalize a significant portion of the population, because they are unstable menaces and ticking time bombs. a lot of the people who should be in mental homes today are just in jails taking up THOSE beds because they have no other place to send violent retards anymore.
All I'm saying is I don't get caught up in the whole Reagan was an almighty deity shit most Republicans tend to do. I'm not accusing you of being caught up in that but you understand what I'm talking about right? How some conservatives will claim that he did no wrong and acted like the guy shit gold bricks or something.
Already covered this with my response to LipGlossary

Bullshit. The job of the President of the United States of America in such a situation is to tell the activist cosplaying as a "journalist" that that's the most retarded question he's heard since Tuesday, call him a faggot, chide his mother for not having aborted him, and then move on.
No self respecting Catholic would ever be seen at the wailing wall with a bunch of fucking Christ killers.
I can't speak for neocons from 20 years ago, but disliking Reagan because he "closed the asylums" when he was a brand new president signing a reconciliation bill, I just find problematic because it results in the right repeating democrat talking points, on something that was not a partisan issue. And it's only something democrats have convinced themselves of, because it's been an effective talking point in California. It's intuitive but I don't think it necessarily makes sense when you really look at it. Does the president control Joint Congress?
