Bernie was backing the good guys by supporting Nicaragua. Reagan, Oliver North, and the whole cabal should have all gone to prison for Iran-Contra. They were making deals with Iran before Reagan even became president and it makes the top-ten list of twentieth century crimes by a US president.

Bernie was corrupted last go around. I tune in to see how they'll spin it and sheep herd again this time.

I know he's corrupt but he was on the side of the good guys that time. I am no Bernie promoter and never was.

If you include the way they funded all of that by using the CIA to control and ship 15 tons of cocaine per day into the black neighborhoods of American cities like LA to fuel the crack epidemic and black on black gang warefare, that all together probably pushes it into the top 5.

Good. Yeah and almost all of Reagan's crew got off with no punishment at all. Reagan said he couldn't remember and George HW Bush (former CIA head), famously said, "I was out of the loop." I said "top-ten list" but just pulled it out of the air. It may be top five but it surely was extremely damaging to the country. You have poor people, more or less trapped in a ghetto like Bed-Sty in New York. Then pump in images of the rich on their TVs while on every street corner there is someone selling coke, and well, something bad is bound to happen.

GHW Bush was really running the country then and he was an evil, occult guy. But still, Reagan was a very popular president, all because he was a B-actor and could pull off just the right image.
