Jeff Tiedrich - elderly golfer shits the bed in batshit CPAC speech



yesterday, a frail old man in serious cognitive decline managed to slip past his caregivers at the White House Home for the Aged, and wandered across town until he found himself at CPAC.

as he looked around, a dim memory was roused within the old man’s long-gone mind.

‘a stage. Donny like being on stage. Donny give speech.’

meandering to the front of the hall, the old man got up on the stage, and, finding himself in front of a microphone, began to gibber incoherently.

this guy knows as much about the gilded age as he knows about flush toilets and revolutionary war airports

panic 0f 1873

The Panic of 1873 was a financial crisis that triggered an economic depression in Europe and North America that lasted from 1873 to 1877 or 1879 in France and in Britain. In Britain, the Panic started two decades of stagnation known as the "Long Depression" that weakened the country's economic leadership.

"two decades of stagnation known as the "Long Depression," included the depression of 1882

The Depression of 1882–1885, or Recession of 1882–1885, was an economic contraction in the United States that lasted from March 1882 to May 1885,

then ....

panic of 1893 was in that" richest in america window.

here is wikipedia ...
The Panic of 1893 was an economic depression in the United States. It began in February 1893 and officially ended eight months later, but the effects from it continued to be felt until 1897. It was the most serious economic depression in history until the Great Depression of the 1930s.

that one was3 years foollowed by the panic of 1896

The Panic of 1896 was an acute economic depression in the United States that was less serious than other panics of the era, precipitated by a drop in silver reserves, and market concerns on the effects it would have on the gold standard. Deflation of commodities' prices drove the stock market to new lows

1899-1900 recession

1902-1904 recession

panic of 1907

panic of 1910-1911

and the kicker, panic of 1913

the insider trading, monopolistic robber barons were no doubt, rich enough, but history shows 40 years of hard times for most americans.
