Me when someone tells a joke

On the one hand, there's no fucking way you thought it might be possible that Reagan had said "tear down this wall and fuck me." But on the other hand, it would be really funny if you did, so I choose to believe it

Obviously the quote would be the joke, but it was insinuating that he actually did have sex with Gorbachev, which is honestly not that outlandish and was worth asking for confirmation.

It's not that outlandish that Reagan and Gorbachev might have had a secret affair lmao

If King Richard and Suliman the Magnificent could be butt buddies during the crusades, what's stopping a couple of cold war era heads of state of rival world powers from being star-crossed lovers?

I'm sure they had enough confidential meetings to pull it off, and do I really need to enumerate how many conservatives are actually closeted homosexuals?
