In reply to the discussion: FUCK RONALD REAGAN [View all]yeoman6987
(14,449 posts)43. So Sorry to hear that
I don't blame DU'ers who voted for Reagan. However, I am sooooo sorry that you lost your job. I am sure that was not pleasant and unfortunately even having this thread has brought back those memories. I kinda wish we could have just forgot this thread for your sake. UGH!!! I feel really horrible right now.
