"look! an old man is talking again!"

A post on Wil Wheaton dot Net.

(Based just on the title, I thought this was going to be a rant about Trump and/or Biden, but it's not. It has nothing to do with them, nor is it even a rant. I think the post that actually exists here is much better than whatever I was thinking.)

"Milk, eggs and now bullets for sale in handful of US grocery stores with ammo vending machines"

A little fun fact: the email that I used to send the link for this article to myself from my phone's Google News App so that I could more easily access it here on my PC was titled "What the actual fuck."

"Everything Bad Is Ronald Reagan's Fault - SOME MORE NEWS"

Watch on YouTube

"Hi. Today we're looking at America's 40th president – Teflon Ron, 'ol Dutchy, the Gipper himself – Ronald Reagan, and how nearly everything bad in the U.S. today can be traced back to something he did and/or said."

Okay, ignoring all the "pretending to get increasingly 'annoyed' by the 'joke' (i.e. the BttF clip) that we're choosing to run into the ground this time" thing and the really bizarre, ongoing "corn" thing (without which the video would probably be at least 10 minutes shorter), this was a pretty good video. And, hey, at least Warmbo wasn't in this one.

So yeah, Ronald Reagan was a shitty president and just a pretty shitty dude all around, too. Not quite to the nadir of Donald Trump, of course, but still pretty low down there. This isn't really news to anyone who has paid attention at all to the past 40 years. Basically, Reagan and his presidency and the effect it had on everything that came after are who and what made "President Trump" possible. I guess the real take away from this is that we should maybe never again elect a man with *onald in his first name for the job of President. Starting right now.

(Oh, and there's apparently going to be a "part 2" to this. Hmm.)
