    No.

    Reagan ran as a “Union President” in 1980, then turned around and destroyed the one Union that backed him in the election.

    He was a head of the Screen Actors Guild, and shafted his members by signing a contract that let talent agencies act as TV/movie producers. In other words, your boss was the guy negotiating your contract. He also spied on his members for Hoover’s FBI.

    He did nothing about AIDS until one of his Hollywood buddies got sick.

    He was a terrible person.

      Oh. Listen. Do not get me started on Reagan. I fuckin’ hate the guy in many, many ways.

      But insofar as he was not a sociopath and a rapist (that we know of), and he married the blowjob queen of Hollywood, hoo-fuckin-ray. Yay.

        Bush Jr. made Ronnie look good, and now Trump is making us nostalgic for the fun days of Abu Gharib.

        Can’t wait to see how they manage to make Donnie look reasonable.
