You mean you didn't say one derogatory thing about Reagan
the entire duration of his illness? What's the difference between terminally ill and deceased?

Guilty as charged here. Both during and after. Reagan.... you were a rotten bastard.

1. Karma.
It catches up to a person, even Reagan. I saw so many of my friends become homeless in the 80's because of his economic policies, that encouraged years of shameless corporate raiding, and S&L swindling. Not to mention his inhumane approach and downright ignoring of AIDS as a "gay mans disease". The guy was so cold, Nancy and he were caught on camera LAUGHING at a completely bigoted, tasteless, homophobic joke told by none other than Bob "let's popularize the Vietnam war for Chevron" Hope, that went:

"I just heard that the Statue of Liberty has AIDS, but she doesn’t know if she got it from the mouth of the Hudson or the Staten Island Fairy."

I think it would be hypocritical to change my tune after he dies.

2. There's a difference between derogatory and definitive
If I was to say that Reagan actually enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless, mean-spirited bastard, that would be derogatory, and I shouldn't say that Reagan actually enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless, mean-spirited bastard. Because although the policies of his administration repeatedly abused the poor, I don't have any proof that Reagan actually enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless, mean-spirited bastard. So without some kind of proof, I should say that Reagan actually enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless, mean-spirited bastard.

But I can say without reservation that Reagan's policies abused the poor. I can only speculate that Reagan actually enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless, mean-spirited bastard. But I don't know for sure that Reagan actually enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless, mean-spirited bastard.

See?

4. I understand perfectly. A judgment should be made.
Reagan enjoyed abusing the poor because he was a heartless mean-spirited bastard. No blood no fault. I can only speculate that policies with his stamp of approval were directly aimed at abusing the poor and defenseless. One must be a heartless, mean-spirited bastard to do so.

3. There was only
the stuff about the grave, Oh, and rejoicing. Not mourning about his death. Maybe some other stuff too.

But I am not taking it back, decorum/civility? I guess I have none. Something I will have to live with.

Bwaaaah,hahahaha, snort, snort.

7. I detested him when he was alive. I still detest him in death
His death does not erase the harm he did. I have nothing but contempt for him.
