I am getting sick of the US - whilst you let this corrupt POS jeopardize world order and fuck around - you tolerate and normalize him. In which case fuck off - you are no longer the leaders of the free world but a corrupt country
Unfortunately I don’t expect to be disavowed of this belief
And at the time it was occurring, I thought it was horrendous. Now, it is so much worse. We are watching a coup taking place in America. If our Constitution and rules of law can be ignored, violated and dismantled, then no democracy on this planet is safe or guaranteed.
Seriously. Ya know in 1968 my grandmother told me Nixon was a crook and when GOP was in power her family nearly starved to death. Several yrs later I was in high school watching the hearings in govt class.
Nixon resigned because he was caught obstructing Justice. There were 9 counts of Obstruction of Justice in the Mueller Report. Trump declared himself exonerated and we moved on
This was worse than Watergate 8 years ago. Now it’s nothing less than the end of our Constitutional Republic.
How they were viewed and whether they were caught red-handed meant a lot more back then so it was like he had to resign. Now it's 💯 encouraged and lauded the crimes and misbehaviors he commits. "I'm voting for the convicted felon" fucking T-shirts. It's beyond delusional bully worship. 😮💨
What this moment teaches us is that we shouldn’t listen to the republicans once we have control of the government again. They’ve been planning this coup since the ‘70’s. Maybe not entirely the trump shit, but they have weakened our democracy which allowed someone like trump to rise to power.
That's absolutely true. Republicans have been building and running these think tank organizations for literally generations aimed at finding ways to make their values primary in our laws and culture. Democrats just try to stop what fires they see in the moment and introduce plans for future growth
At least with Watergate the bad guys dressed in black and did their dirt in the dark of night and everyone lied about being involved. These people are burning down everything they can, fuck the rules, in front of the world, and nobody knows how to stop it
The other thing is, at least Nixon's party also helped his downfall. They chose country over party. Trump's insurrectionists wanted to kill his VP and the GOP was just "oh this is fine"
Also, Nixon created EPA, Clean Air and Water Acts, Endangered Species Act, etc. Nixon did respect the Constitution and Republican senators were not capons.
Our best tool to fight back with is money. Give lots of money to organizations who hire lawyers to file & win lawsuits against these Nazi bastards. FFRF, NAACP, ACLU, DemocracyForward, BrennanCenter, PublicCitizen, GLAD etc. Less posting & more action. Pick one & donate NOW. https://ffrf.org
As a reminder, the impeachment for the Watergate scandal was not for the break-in or any illegal activities by the burglars, the articles of impeachment against Nixon were for Nixon's lying and cover-up. Nixon resigned when his own party (GOP) members would no longer support him.
In some ways, This Shit makes Watergate look like a High Budget Hollywood Production. The THREAT is greater because the MAGA Court and the Republican Infested Congress are utterly Corrupt . . .
We have a fascist dictator who is a nazi in the white house...
A coup is happening~ constitution left us instructions for just these situations. It's okay to follow those instructions it's not a drill and no it's not the same as Jan 6th this is our gov being dismantled.
I remember during the first impeachment when one of the prosecuting attorneys involved in the Watergate hearings said exactly that. He said it was worse than Watergate THEN. And that was all child’s play compared to now lmfao
Yes. And let's give a teeny bit of credit to Nixon, he was a virulent anti-Semite but he did serve in the military. Also the EPA was established under Nixon, which is currently being gutted and probably derided as woke and communist under the GOP. You know Nixon, HUGE communist.
Sorry to say, but I doubt very many people under 50 have any idea at all what Watergate was about.
Oh, and please don't say it was an attempt to eavesdrop on DNC Headquarters. You really miss the point.
Read the book.

The problem is - there are too many yesmen and not enough Park Rangers.

He was shocked at this comment because Nixon was considered evil.
Well, here we are.
Isn't that the truth!😒
Absolutely

Build, plan, act!
Dump digs in more and more with every day~ppl should b preparing.
Also let's use proper terms:
Coup=treason
nazis are in our house
Constitution gives instructions
In just three weeks, Trump's second term has already left his first four years in the dust.
Oh, and please don't say it was an attempt to eavesdrop on DNC Headquarters. You really miss the point.

"One unwell felon
And one unfun Elon
What an ugly mess they made of the You Ess Aay!!!"
I couldn’t help but laugh and nod at this man!!
It’s an odd time to be alive!
And not in the 1970 - 1990s kinda way.
Nixon, Kissinger, John Mitchell, Bob Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, Chuck Colson, G. Gordon Liddy? Are you sure you want to hear those guys singing?
