    Former Republican U.S. President Ronald Reagan certainly isn’t. He’s relishing in watching workers get fucked and having their rights stripped away.

    Actor and former Democratic SAG President Ronald Reagan on the other hand.

    Yep that’s the irony. He wasn’t even anti abortion until he ran for president. Even if he didn’t actually believe in the bullshit he spouted as president, him selling his soul is still a major reason why the United States is marathoning itself towards a Fascist dictatorship.

    Best ever made means slightly better than the previous one. It doesn’t mean it’s at good deal at all. My union (IATSE) got the best deal ever made and it doesn’t even adjusts for inflation!!!
