I was just talking to my daughter about this yesterdayβ¦.Iβm 63β¦for my entire life the biggest political scandal in the US has been Nixon/Watergate. Whatβs going on now makes Watergate look like childβs playβ¦.despicable π‘
TRUMP, ELON, THE SUPREME COURT & THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT TO BE TRAITORS TO THE CONSTITUTION & THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,THEY MUST BE REMOVED, BY FORCE IF NECESSARY! ACTION NOW!
What's different is Trump has a brainwashed cult that don't care how many laws he's breaking. Propaganda is out of control and with AI it's going to be harder and harder to get the truth out. I have never been as afraid for us as I am now. π’
If you limit "Watergate" to the actual break-in, perhaps. If you understand that the burglary was just one part of Nixon's desperate criminal operation to conceal his 1968 treason and his attempts to destroy Daniel Ellsberg, it becomes more than just a break-in and cover-up. Still, what's going on
now seems much worse (and probably is). But I'm old enough to remember "Watergate" (along with what we've learned about it since 1974), and it was as much an all-consuming nightmare back then, in its own way.
Watergate - from a time when many Republicans actually had a morality line they wouldn't cross.
Now?
There is nothing so low and despicable that won't do.
Yet with Watergate, the republican leadership had the sense to go to Nixon and tell him that either he will be impeached and convicted or he can resign.
No so called republicans had the balls or have them now to confront him.
Damn, thatβs funny as Hell and dead serious as Hell at the same freaking time! The GQP has lost their moral compass. They have sold their souls and The Constitution for Power!
The Republicans in the House and Senate falling in line are also to blame, they need to understand supporting Trump & all of his lies, & destruction will PRIMARY them in 2026 & 2028, as MAGA is waking up to the LIES Trump told them & Musks threat of primarying them will look like child play. π€¬
Disagree. Watergate at its core was a street crime. A burglary. Then there was a cover up. Nixon was aware of both. Far worse. Whatever President Musk and Donald are currently doing is Constitutionally prohibited and may compromise our institutions, and are questionable. 45% want that. Voted for it.
No. You, me, the BlueSky community and Harris voters and many elected representatives in BOTH parties are pushing back. Thank god too for our Judges and lawyers. I believe this authoritarian populism is transitory. Itβs a reaction to inflation.
The U.S. had the lowest inflation across the globe for 2 years, blame it on what it is, fascism. Yes, Musk & his teenage henchmen already got into Americans private information at the Treasury & the Medicare/Medicaid office. What reps in both parties are pushing back? 2 Repubs & a few Dems? Come on.
We should get our favorite high school musical stars - now adult resisters - to put on #Watergate:TheMusical! @markhamillofficial.bsky.social could star as #TrickyDick (?). @randyrainbow.bsky.social could write the music/lyrics/choreography. @pflag.org can help with casting. We can get it going!
This whole very bad situation,is a constitutional and criminal nightmare. A convicted felon who's past is riddled with activity with criminals from Russia and America
And a egomaniacle sociopath African immigrant, that thinks he is smarter than anyone, takes control of our government
I grew up in Watergate. Wallowed in it. Even went to Alexandria Virginia to listen to the Nixon tapes. It is far worse because Trump destroyed the institutions that enforced the law.
I was so addicted to those hearings! I hated him so much and to see his own party hold him accountable was amazing. Plus I kinda had a crush on John Dean π€£

Today it's the Death of Shame.
Republicans don't care if they are wrong, lie, cheat or steal.
**** America, we have a problem. ****

We need to stop the nation.
For 24 hours. All of us. March as one. To the White House. In silence. Message clear.
This shit stops now!
This is not how I was raised.
This is not the America I was taught to love.
