The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.
The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.
The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
So they didnβt like the ad. Letβs just post Reaganβs 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of yβall are still on X).

@rincewind.run
Yep. This is what was wrong with Iran-Contra. The executive branch illegally sold weapons to Iran and then illegally gave the proceeds to a right wing counter-revolutionary organization. The latter part was doubly illegal: 1) it was done without Congressional appropriation, and

I suppose the House and Senate could do a mass impeachment and removal of multiple Executive Branch officials including the president.
However, the second part of your post says thereβs automatic removal of the vp and other officials if the president is impeached and removed for treason.

In other words, they can each be impeached individually, not that if one goes, they all go. 2/2 www.archives.gov/founding-doc...
