Funny story about Reagan and the ‘11th Commandment.’
Back in the day, a group of Dem women approached their GOP counterparts with a story about Nestle’s Africa operations. Basically, Nestle was tricking poor women by giving away free formula to new mothers. The supply lasted until the mothers stopped lactating, then they had to pay full price. This meant that the babies were not getting enough food at the time they needed good nutrition the most.
The GOP women wanted the Party to stand up to Nestle, but Reagan talked thme down, and explained that conservatives shouldn’t shaft one another.
Later on, Reagan attacked President Ford for sticking by the treaty that returned the Panama Canal. There was no way Ford could renege on the treaty, but it made Reagan look like a tough guy.
It was the 1980s version of ‘The War On Christmas.’ The treaty had been signed decades before, and handing over the Canal meant nothing strategically. WW3 wasn’t going to be decided by a big naval battle. It was pure grandstanding, but Ronnie managed to orchestrate it to perfection

Ronnie was a hypocritical bastard?! Noooooooooooooo
Ohh, that news story in “For All Mankind” makes a lot more sense. Alternate timeline, we didn’t give it back.
