The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

When I was a teenager I made an email address, ishotreagan@emailprovider.com, inspired by the suicidal tendencies song. Years later in my late 20s or early 30s the secret service showed up at my door to ask about it. I had nearly forgotten I even made it by then. I don't remember if Reagan was dead yet but he was on his llast legs. I guess they're super thorough when it comes to anything other than that one roof near Trump's rally

No word on whether they investigated Mike Muir in the 80s when the song was written and Reagan was still alive/relevant

Not a native English speaker, but I automatically read it is hot Reagan. You could've told them you just had the hotties for ol' Ronnie.

Muir also shot Kennedy and the devil, if I'm remembering right.

They forgave him of all wrong doing when How will I laugh tomorrow was released.
