And since you're down there. Go tell Jerry Falwell to go F himself.

He went way BEYOND a mere crook! He's half-horse (the BACK half!), half-devil.

Well, okay, we can say he's a crook, too!

And since you're down there, DICKy, you can tell Falwell to self-fornicate for me, too. Robertson, too.

When they do a tribute movie about all his "accomplishments". I mean, he helped with the ronnie rayguns movie. You know, the 'Destroyer of the Middle Class.'

would definitely love and respect Nixon.

He was a liar, a crook and an evil sonofabitch. He was a Maga precursor.

Oh yeah, before I forget: fuck Bill Maher.

over a decade.

Feels good, doesn't it?

that he has now joined in to all the Republican's REVISIONIST HISTORY also.........
I can hardly wait to see the RED states rewriting the history textbooks and science books in their public schools.....

Nixon's clan were saints compared to HWBush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz etc.

When the surgeons removed Cheney's old heart for the new transplanted one, they had to have an exact match, and it took them forever to find one that was a Black one, made of pure titanium......

them even more.

But in today’s media landscape, with the influence of conservative outlets and in particular Fox News, Trump will in fact survived it.

Watergate was the triumph of democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law over a criminal and corrupt Republican president.

Today a criminal and corrupt Republican president has triumphed over democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law.

We all should be saying....THE REPUBLICANS........because there is no way Trump would exist through out his first term and especially this term without the Republicans Support. If this had happened back when the Old Republican Party was in place, Trump wouldn't have lasted more than a few days into his first term......

It actually is the fault of the NEW Republican CABAL........and couldn't have been done with out the U.S. Republican House, the U.S Republican Senate, and of course the Republican Supreme Court Justices......

We need to start saying Republicans this Republicans that, and not Trump, Trump Trump. Otherwise, when Trump crumps, literally or figuratively, the people will think that is the end of the nightmare, when in all reality the entire Republican CABAL will still be proceeding ahead, full force, because we haven't been alerting the voters, all this time, that it was the REPUBLICAN Party that truly was behind this chaos this entire last decade......

He was a lawyer who eventually joined the Navy (despite being a Quaker), was elected to the U.S. House, then elected to the U.S. Senate, then served as VP under Eisenhower for 8 years, and finally became President for almost 2 terms.

No one could say that he didn't have "Executive Experience", which eventually became the idiotic nasty talking point hurled at Obama.

Contrast with 45 who had ZERO government experience, neither civilian nor military - in ANY level or type of government... and didn't care, and the media shrugged.

Usually don't quit and run away from the verdict.

It was vintage Tricky Dick; totally consistent with his everyday actions.
Rufo is full of shit.
All part of the white washing of history.

He doesn't know what he is talking about, but what he has is an agenda to convince those who weren't around then that Nixon was railroaded.

Those of us who were around remember what a rotten bastard Nixon was; he is the progenitor of what the Republican Party has devolved into these days.

And Rufo is also someone who DeSantis appointed to New College's Board of Directors.

Most of these idiotic RWer "influencers" weren't even born until well after that whole episode of history went down. He was called "Tricky Dick", only because "polite society" couldn't say "out loud" what they really wanted to call him.

And then 45 took Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre", pumped it up with steroids, and then in a psychotic rage, is literally still massacring people in the federal government going on 11 months straight now.

He's the one who brought us Spiro Agnew; the "effete snob" who projected that onto his enemies.
After Agnew's downfall, Gerald Ford was appointed by Nixon to be VP, and when Nixon resigned, Ford became the first and only president who was never elected to either the Presidency or Vice-Presidency.

Isn't it amazing how the shadow government fixed things to insure Agnew wouldn't replace Nixon?

should be "Christopher MOfo"!

Eff this shit. Nixon was a F*CKing CRIMINAL, period, END of discussion.

Disgusting revisionists!

because he knew how to wheel and deal and handle bribes.

I’m not sure office delivery of bags stuffed with cash is up to today’s level of crypto grifting!

former NJ Senator Bob Menendez, made "tangible loot", popular again!

he'll be the best there ever was.

True.

It is little known that, using a George Soros-funded time machine, Peter Strozk went back to 1974 and replaced the perfectly innocent Oval Office tapes with ones that used an AI generated Nixon voice making incriminating statements.

the 4-year old Peter Strzok who snuck in and ripped the shiny tape out of the cartridge!!!11!!!11!

"Nixon liberals," mostly from the northeast and west coast, were a thing amongst Republicans until the Powell Memorandum* begat the Federalist Society, who primaried the Nixonians out of the GOP. That led directly to Trump. The last prominent Nixon liberal I can think of was Arlen Specter, who ultimately defected to the Democrats in 2009. He wasn't the only one to do so. Nixon liberals found a home in the Democratic Party, where they're known as "moderates," beginning with Jimmy Carter's move to the right. Their position was cemented by Bill Clinton and his people (James Carville, in particular, continues this ideology), and they now pretty much comprise the entirety of the party's establishment.

Nixon liberals tended not to be down with Nixon's authoritarian tendencies, but were very much in line with his promotion and protection of the wealthy, privileged and powerful and their corporations (particularly multi-nationals). They tended to do very well by their capitalist backers (donors), too, amassing comfortable wealth while being largely exempted from insider trading rules or scrutiny. The "revolving door" between government and corporations was solidified into practice by these folks.

So you might wanna be careful about criticizing Nixon, or people might start thinking you're a progressive or, shudder, a DSAer.
