I was 13, but remember ythus chaos. Such a horrible time, which sadly be repeated on a scale Nixon could have never even imagined. I pray we survive this.

thedo0dah62.bsky.social•26 days ago

We lived through it and see what’s happening. It’s far worse now.

alistairblantyre.bsky.social•26 days ago

🤔🥴

mclava.bsky.social•26 days ago

That’s what this administration wants. For people to protest so he can have the authority to send out troops, not to break it up. He would order to just shoot them. He is deranged with power and his cronies are too. I still believe he rigged the election.

traceyanne123.bsky.social•26 days ago

We need a day of no spending. Hitting them in their pockets is the only thing they understand

sjcurtis.bsky.social•26 days ago

I used to believe that Nixon was the start of the Republican Party turning on America. I have recently learned that their plans started in the 50’s. The Orange Turd is the culmination of those plans.

unfrgvn2.bsky.social•26 days ago

1946 more or less

lindapal.bsky.social•26 days ago

Deja Vu but worse

And he had brought many of his loyal people into the government and got rid of all the others in one way or another.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

bearatone75.bsky.social•26 days ago

Richardson and Lodge were the last decent Republicans.

thebonesaw.bsky.social•26 days ago

Add Ruckelshaus to your list

bearatone75.bsky.social•26 days ago

👍

autumnjohnson.bsky.social•27 days ago

I am counting on Judges to fix this...

oldcaptain.bsky.social•26 days ago

It appears Nixon was the last Republican president who had enough respect for the Constitution (while in office) that he was willing to resign.

whovianjo66.bsky.social•26 days ago

He resigned so he wouldn't be impeached. Then Ford pardoned him. Nixon was a traitor. Republicans are trash & have been for at least 100 years.

dblcliq.bsky.social•26 days ago

This is an excellent insight. History in current context is a useful guide and badly needed right now.

theguuuuut.bsky.social•26 days ago

Honestly I was outraged out after Occupy and decided my efforts were best spent on leaving and making a life somewhere else than trying to save a bunch of people who only cared about stonks from themselves.

traceycavasin.bsky.social•27 days ago

Nixon did some very underhanded things too - it wasn't just Watergate - he tried to freeze all the financial institutions too -
Two weeks later he was impeached -

pauldu.bsky.social•26 days ago

when Bork was nominated for the SCOTUS by Reagan over a decade later he was hearing-beaten for his role in the Saturday Night Massacre. Point being it was 14 years before karma caught up with him

auntie-grizelda.bsky.social•27 days ago

This was NOTHING compared to what Rump is doing right now. NOTHING.

neonraspberry.bsky.social•27 days ago

I feel like people do not understand how bad this all is because they don't have context. Numb to everything as well as ignorant to the true and grave lawlessness.

sototallydone.bsky.social•26 days ago

The media has not exactly rung the alarm on this purge either.

Resistance is key.
Must be demonstrated.
No one is above the law of humanity.

boilerplatejunk.bsky.social•27 days ago

5 alarms. indeed. it is a coup d'etat.

steveo18.bsky.social•26 days ago

This was back in a day when there was some integrity in the rapublican party. The trumpublican party has NO such integrity. Only EVIL & GREED!!

aleksandra420.bsky.social•27 days ago

And that turned out so well for him.

jmattdavis.bsky.social•26 days ago

Back then, Republicans were patriots. Today, they are just cowards and sycophants.

heatherlstockton.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thank you for giving access to this article. I feel like we are getting attacked in so many different ways at the same time that we just don't know how and where to react.

joannkennedy.bsky.social•26 days ago

I just looked that up too

tim215.bsky.social•27 days ago

Today's gop makes Nixon,and the 70's gop look like choir boys. For half of this current crew of the gop,they are still avenging nixon's downfall. Hell, Roger Stone is still around.

monocle13.bsky.social•26 days ago

AKA "The Saturday Night Massacre."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Massacre

billthornbro.bsky.social•26 days ago

The “Saturday Night Massacre” gave us the phrase “a constitutional crisis.” Yup, I remember. And now Nixon, crook to the bone, looks benign in comparison, doesn’t he?

jukesgrrl.bsky.social•26 days ago

I remember that like it was yesterday. I lived in DC & it seemed like the city was erupting. But, I swear, what we're experiencing now is far worse. It isn't just one circumstance. It's Trump's entire way of governing ... and he has far more help.

lexie1179.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yea, we went through some shit with Nixon, but we weren’t facing Nazis and magats at every turn.

mandysueinla.bsky.social•26 days ago

Today you are not too alarmist. We cannot be too alarmist! 😠

bob1951.bsky.social•26 days ago

The Saturday night massacre. I remember.

jovial-jovian.bsky.social•26 days ago

It's happening again, right now, in real time, except this time Congress won't be intervening.

natgeebojesen.bsky.social•26 days ago

What exactly should we be doing? I see so many articles hand wringing and informational but nothing laying out next steps. If we gathered and protested how long do you think it would be before martial law was declared? Or protesters were harmed? I am willing to risk that but I don’t know who else is

malketchupstain.bsky.social•26 days ago

I read this article this morning. Joyce is not wrong! We should all be barking & instead of I'm hearing is whimpers.

waya7665.bsky.social•26 days ago

It's why I'm hoping Canada turns off the power. That will start some fire and fury.

jeepersar.bsky.social•26 days ago

Agree, but with a grain of salt don't forget who is sec state and who is currently telling panama some shit to set the stage for some incursion marketed under national security. The falls might be his next stop.

malketchupstain.bsky.social•26 days ago

Omg, I told my mom the exact same thing, yesterday. I wish you could have seen the shocked look she gave me. I said, "well, I really think Republican Trump voters need to start feeling some real pain". It's the only way they're going to open their eyes.

waya7665.bsky.social•26 days ago

I got a shocked look, too. Then I was lectured on how it will hurt some Blue States, too. And when I said that it's not so much about punishing MAGAts as it is about shaking Dems out of their stupid and into action....I got silence.🤷‍♀️

waya7665.bsky.social•26 days ago

*stupor*

Damn auto-correct. 🤬

mgkahb.bsky.social•26 days ago

difference today is 95% or more of the republicans are spineless cowards...

mark-s-blevins.bsky.social•27 days ago

#Nixon looks like an #ElderStatesman compared to #Trump 😜

lscottman.bsky.social•26 days ago

richardson wasn’t worried about being “primaried “

county over party, back when the republican party had some level of responsibility

cgfromhp.bsky.social•26 days ago

I remember the bumper sticker, had to do a triple-take: Impeach The Cox Shucker!

simoneludlow.bsky.social•26 days ago

Sadly I don’t think shes gone far enough back in History. We seem to be mirroring the 1930s not the 1970s.

juakar.bsky.social•26 days ago

It’s the 1930 .
This is a list of Hitlers Germany .
Total mirror of maga.

memesbyseth.bsky.social•26 days ago

Trump makes Nixon look like George Washington.

thebookofroman.bsky.social•26 days ago

lennyzenith.bsky.social•27 days ago

I can't think of anything that could destabilize national security more than firing top career professionals. This is childish, impetuous, gangster behavior and puts us in grave danger.

janlillemo.bsky.social•26 days ago

This terrified me. When Joyce gets panicky, we should all be panicky. Jack Hopkins, too.

dsm1132.bsky.social•26 days ago

Fires top FBI personnel because they investigated 2021-01-06

Turns over the entire federal government's employee and payments databases to Musk to do whatever the hell he wants

Imposes 25% tariffs on our two most valuable trading partners

THIS IS A ZILLION TIMES WORSE THAN NIXON!!!

metrecht.bsky.social•26 days ago

And he was nothing compared to Trump. And there were still checks and balances in place. Thanks again for being a voice on here! I saw you in Atlanta doing a signing at, I think Macys, and it made this little gay boys heart happy! I would love a follow!

Back then, Republicans in Congress had spines at least.
