But when it reached the part of the speech where Reagan addressed “the enemies of freedom,” the following images were shown: A protester in a beanie with an anti-fascist slogan, Kim Jong-un, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fidel Castro, protesters holding a “NO TRUMP NO KKK” signs, and protesters holding an “ANTIFA” sign.

BREAKING: Ted Cruz has had sex at least 16 times
On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) proposed a new bipartisan bill to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): Make birth control available over the counter.When Ocasio-Cortez tweeted “Birth control should be over-the-counter, pass it on,” the GOP senator responded with “I agree.”“Perhaps, in addition to the legislation we are already working on together to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, we can team up here as well,” Cruz tweeted. “A simple, clean bill making birth control available over the counter. Interested?”Although Cruz is staunchly anti-abortion, the Republican lawmaker has expressed support for contraceptives in the past.“Now, listen, I have been a conservative my entire life,” Cruz said during a presidential campaign stop in 2015. “I have never met anybody, any conservative, who wants to ban contraceptives. As I noted, Heidi and I, we have two little girls. I’m very glad we don’t have 17.”

Hey swooning liberals: Republicans want a “clean bill” to make birth control OTC because it would mean *insurance companies don’t have to cover it* and we know this because this was *literally the bill they already tried to pass once before* https://t.co/hvDJf7smEY— August J.

Oh for sure. We should mention (and k3vin would be in a position to explain) that Obamacare requires contraception as a preventative service. No?
― recriminations from the nitpicking woke (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 13 June 2019 01:58 (four years ago) link
trump in 2017 weakened the contraceptive mandate, letting insurers with supposed religious objections absain. I am honestly not sure what the law would be if birth control were made OTC -- generally insurances do not cover OTC products. I assume this is why talk of a "clean" bill gives health policy people pause

Fox News' bullshit with her is so ham-handed yet their viewership is so fucking brain-dead that I guess it should count as being subversive. This rant brought on by reading a headline article about her on the site and immediately noticing that they painstakingly recreate every single ellipsis, "you know," repetition, and stumble in her speech when they quote her, which afaik they don't do for anyone else, obviously not for the Big Wet Prez. god, they're so pathetic.

Ditzy AOC, that seems to be the angle the right-wing media has been taking on her
0_o how are they getting this from her being a sharp, focused, aware communicator and oh never mind
investigative reporters have so far failed to uncover the moment when cruel bullies shaped the formerly kind and placid Donnie into a defensive creature, trapped inside a harsh shell, that we can still reach and nourish and change
In elementary school, Donny impressed classmates with his refusal to acknowledge mistakes, even one so trivial as misidentifying a popular professional wrestler. No matter his pals’ ridicule, one recalled, he doubled down, insisting wrestler Antonino Rocca’s name was “Rocky Antonino.”
A fierce competitor, Trump could erupt in anger, pummeling another boy or smashing a baseball bat if he made an out, two childhood neighbors said. In school, he misbehaved so often that his initials became his friends’ shorthand for detention. .. “DTs” — short for “Donny Trump.”
Dennis Burnham was four years younger and lived around the corner from Donald. He inherited his own impression of his neighbor from his mother, who warned that he should “stay away from the Trumps.”“Donald was known to be a bully, I was a little kid, and my parents didn’t want me beaten up,” said Burnham, 65, a business consultant in Texas.Once when she left Dennis in a playpen in a back yard adjoining the Trumps’ property, Martha Burnham returned to find Donald throwing rocks at her son. “She saw Donald standing at the fence,” Dennis Burnham said, “using the playpen for target practice.”

“He had a reputation for saying anything that came into his head,” said Donald Kass, 70, a retired agronomist who was a schoolmate. When Trump misidentified Rocca, the pro wrestler, Kass recalled, “We would laugh at him and tell him he was wrong, and he’d say he was right. The next time, he would make the same mistake, and it would be the same thing all over again.”
In his neighborhood, Donald and his friends were known to ride their bikes and “shout and curse very loudly,” said Steve Nachtigall, who lived nearby. Nachtigall said he once saw them jump off their bikes and beat up another boy.“It’s kind of like a little video snippet that remains in my brain because I think it was so unusual and terrifying at that age,” recalled Nachtigall, 66, a doctor in New Jersey. “He was a loudmouth bully.”
“It’s kind of like a little video snippet that remains in my brain because I think it was so unusual and terrifying at that age,” recalled Nachtigall, 66, a doctor in New Jersey. “He was a loudmouth bully.”
Ann Trees, 82, who taught at Kew-Forest School, where Trump was a student through seventh grade: “He was headstrong and determined. He would sit with his arms folded with this look on his face — I use the word surly — almost daring you to say one thing or another that wouldn’t settle with him.”
Trump wrote that his main focus as a youngster was “creating mischief.” As a second-grader, he wrote, he “actually” gave his music teacher a black eye because “I didn’t think he knew anything about music, and I almost got expelled.”None of Trump’s childhood friends recall the incident or Donald talking about it then. Asked about the punch recently, Trump said, “When I say ‘punch,’ when you’re that age, nobody punches very hard.”At a 2009 reunion, Kass said, the teacher, Charles Walker, told him that Trump had never struck him. But Walker, who died last year, claimed no affection for Trump. In the final stages of his life, according to his son, Charles Walker learned that Trump was considering a presidential bid.“When that kid was 10,” Peter Walker recalled his father telling family members gathered at his bedside, “even then he was a little s---.”

Dobias said he recognized in Trump an innate drive: “He wanted to be number one. He wanted to be noticed. He wanted to be recognized. And he liked compliments.”
Enraged by a bunkmate's unmade bed, he threw the boy's sheets on the floor and
tried to push a fellow cadet out a second-floor window, only to be thwarted when two other students intervened.
In his room, Trump played Elvis Presley and Johnny Mathis albums. He liked to screw an ultraviolet light into the overhead socket and lie down for a tan. “We’re going to the beach,” Trump would announce to his roommate, David Smith.
A month after senior year started, Trump faced a crisis. One of his platoon sergeants shoved a plebe, Lee Ains, against a wall because the freshman was too slow snapping to attention. At the time, the academy was already dealing with a serious hazing incident and was sensitive to new allegations of abuse. The administration reassigned Trump as a battalion training officer.Ains said the academy concluded that Trump had not monitored his officers “as closely as he should have.”Trump described his reassignment as a promotion. “I did a good job and that’s why I got elevated,” he said.

I mean, there's these, but I don't know how effective suddenly calling him Donny or referring to his hair is gonna be at curtailing him. Might have to impeach or something instead?
Even Trump has acknowledged the similarities between himself as an adult and when he was the boy whom friends alternately referred to as “Donny,” “The Trumpet” and “Flat Top” (for his hair).
