@protecttruth @JamesGleick They should do it properly and put a President on it. I'd suggest Ronald Reagan, who increased the national debt by 186%, far more than any other non-World-War President.

Boy, it's a good thing we have that "justice for all" thing in our pledge, eh? I sure wouldn't want to live in a country where the rich and powerful somehow never get prosecuted or anything.

Only if they take Reagan’s name off DC Airport (National Airport) at the same time.
Did you see the recent confirmation that the top of his campaign colluded with Iran to hold the hostages longer so he could win the 1980 election over Carter?
As LBJ said about an earlier similar incident, “That’s treason.”
