Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it's impossible to see it.

I have so many questions.

I've never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who "knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they've won".

The mid to late 70s were pretty dismal. Stagflation, crazy interest rates, the gas crisis, etc. I was in middle school in 1980 so I didn't have a lot of life experience at the time but I remember how his speeches made people feel hopeful for the first time in a long while.

I had a history professor in college that once said in a lecture that it is impossible for someone who lived through something to view it historically because of perception and bias. I think of him every time I see something like this because it makes me wish I could live long enough to read historical analyses of stuff like Reagan's presidency. Hopefully history will be able to truthfully describe what he did to our country.

Carter had his issues but he was and intelligent and thoughtful person that was ultimately screwed over.

I can't get over the quote from the bills author when he says "Give me a break". In my district in the last election there were 3 candidates running for the state Legislature and they all tried to out conservative eqch other.

He's got to be fuming. He's managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it's happening. He'll drain the RNC by August.

The fact that no bond companies would accept real property as a collateral for the bond and only liquid or easily liquified assets points to the properties being leveraged to the hilt. If he ends up having to pay even a portion of this and has to start selling properties we should see a true picture of his financial status.

I don't understand why he would be allowed to borrow money for this purpose. Seems to me that would be an opportunity to commit more fraud by using properties at inflated values as collateral.

I'm not surprised this was her strategy. Seems likw the easiest way to avoid perjury.

Didn't we already have this for a breid shining moment with XMPP before Google and others broke it?
