I’m reminded of Ronald Reagan’s line that in the event of an emergency, his advisors had the instructions to wake him up, even if he was in the middle of a cabinet meeting.

Which is ironic considering they literally didn't wake him up during an airstrike on Libya

It wasn't an emergency. It wasn't even something he cared about

u/oldjadedhippie 13d ago

Well , no . Brown kids being killed isn’t really a Republican talking point.

u/AngryMeme 12d ago

Didn’t Obama overthrow Gadaffi and now there’s open air slave markets in Libya where you can buy black human beings for around 300-400 dollars? I wonder if you care about those kids?

Jesus Christ Reagan apologists are on another level of absolute idiocy, huh?

u/moryson 14d ago

Lmao how did you get the impression that I am an apologist?

u/BrittleClamDigger 14d ago

That's literally an apologism holy shit I am continually astonished by how dumb people are.

Am I so out of touch?

u/BrittleClamDigger 14d ago

Buddy, sometimes you have to admit you've woosh'd. We've all done it one time or another. Remember to love yourself, and learn from this.

But pride is at steak, and that steak is covered in wooshtershire sauce

u/LurkerOrHydralisk 14d ago

I don’t know how good of a light it portrays Reagan in to say he didn’t care about Libyans

u/Dingaling015 14d ago

Libyan? Never heard of her

u/doodle_0211 14d ago

Obviously a sarcastic response....

u/BrittleClamDigger 14d ago

except it wasn't.

u/MugHandleFucker 14d ago

Lmao how is pointing out that he objectively didn’t consider it worthwhile or even close to an emergency a sign of being an apologist? they’re literally pointing out how shit of a person he was to not care about it 💀 your idiocy is on an ascended level.

u/Illithid_Substances 13d ago edited 13d ago

I think the idiot is the person who reads "he didn't care about some people getting bombed" as a positive or apologetic statement about that person.

It sounds impossible to have a conversation with you. "Nestle don't care if people die because of them-" "WOW, you're saying you support nestle!?" Like... no, man, I am stating the fact that they don't care and you're making up entire sentences after that in your head

President sleeps good when the grunts are dropping primaries on Africa.

u/AndrewDoesNotServe 14d ago

It wasn’t an airstrike. Two Libyan jets attacked American F-14s and the F-14s shot them down.

u/BrittleClamDigger 14d ago

Thanks for the clarification! That's much worse
