    lordy, gonna have to get another bag of marshmallows to roast.

    After taking office in 1981, Mr. Watt was asked at a hearing of the House Interior Committee if he favored preserving wilderness areas for future generations. He had been picked by Reagan from a Denver legal foundation that had often challenged the rules and policies of the department he now headed. Critics called him a fox in the hen house.

    He replied, “I do not know how many future generations we can count on before the Lord returns.”​

    Seriously though, Reagan is tied with Trump for worst president ever.
    He's not remembered that way, because the chickenshit media handled him with kid gloves.
    Even movies would have the dystopian shit that was going on, but no one dared say "cuz of Reagan" out loud.
    It was just all mysteriously happening all by itself like it was weather.

    "But Trump did a treason!!".
    Iran Contra was treason, but Reagan got away with it.

    "But covid!"
    AIDS.

    They're fucking tied.

    Bump. James isn't getting the disrespect he deserves.

    Look at his track record compared to Robertson to know true evil.

    And he was just one of Reagan's backup singers!

    Was that Reagan’s Secratery of the Interior, who essentially said it was okay to turn Federal Lands into a Nancy and Ronnie Shoot up Bambi theme park?

    James Watt has been dead for 204 years. I’ll not have the inventor of the modern steam engine defamed so.

    They were right up until the Insurrection. That puts Trump #1 with a bullet.
