treatment, but because Republicans are, by and large, a bunch of slobbering enablers. When Watergate happened, a delegation of Republican Congressional members went to the White House and told Nixon he had a choice: resign or be impeached. Today they'd go to the White House and massage his feet.

was it seemed that no Republicans were questioning Nixon until they did. I do think this is much harder, much more serious, the media is different, etc. Still, for the first time during this nightmare, it feels different

Almost every Republican except Lowell Weicker (sp?) of Connecticut fought to save Nixon until the transcripts came out and even then many stuck with him until the evidence was overwhelming.

I would love to be optimistic.

...but you're right, the chronology just keeps rolling out one revelation after another. Makes it hard for tsf to get out in front of them.

Yes, but the GOP of that day was not a cult and Nixon was not revered as a God by most republican politicians. So there was not nearly the amount of obstruction by the GOP as there is today. But the bottom line is that Watergate was a political scandal, today’s pedophile scandal is much more serious in my view.

Rec

And then there is the cult's media.....

Where we are now is far worse, I think

The DOJ is thoroughly corrupt.

They are too traitorous today

Given the state of our current corporate media, Trump will ride this one out.

wanted its stink on them.
One can only hope, pray, spill ones beer, etc., that enough in the orange fatty's cult will start noticing the stench.

World had to show us how to do it to right.

Cross reference for calls, travel logs etc. Takes time but the narrative will emerge. Those involved will be exposed. Administration officials involved in the cover up will go to jail.
I lived through Watergate, it always the cover up that eventually breaks down.

So, what I think is happening now (unlike during the Watergate era) is that a few GOP members are starting to feel the heat. The Polls and last few elections is telling them that their seats may be in jeopardy., not that they have had a change of heart or concern for the nation, but fear for their seats.

Slowly but surely, fear is making some of them wake up and become WOKE. This combined with how unpopular Trump, his Cabinet and his policies are to the majority of the nation.

Slower of course, but palpable from my chair. Not that I'll ever claim to know what will happen, only what I guess will happen... and my guess is his house of cards seems less stable today than it did yesterday.

In Watergate they were cooperating and allowed an actual investigation to proceed. Eventually they went to Nixon and told him to resign. Can you ever imagine that happening with this bunch. Instead they are actively obstructing.

Is something I remember from History classes

I was but a small child in 1974
