    Yeah it’s my opinion that Regan was the worst president until Trump - worse than Nixon. He’s my pick for retroactive lead-based timeline correction.

      Was Nixon a bad president? He wasnt a crook (allegedly) and made a boss Nass impression with his “Law and Orhrhrder” line.

        He did sabotage the Paris peace accords which ultimately extended the Vietnam War by many years. Also, he created the HMO system that kept the US from having Universal Healthcare. He also authorized G Gordon Liddy to wire tap his Democrat opponent (very much making him a crook). So… yeah. Bad president.

          TIL, didn’t know he was involved in HMO. Imagine an alternate timeline where we got universal healthcare by even the 2000s and the difference that would’ve made.
