“Ford picked Nelson Rockefeller to be his VP.”
I have some memory of that.
“How did Ford choose a VP?
On August 20, 1974, Ford nominated Nelson Rockefeller, the leader of the party’s liberal wing, for the vice presidency. ... Although conservative Republicans were not pleased that Rockefeller was picked, most of them voted for his confirmation, and his nomination passed both the House and Senate.”

“On January 26, 1979, at 12:20 AM, former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller died from a heart attack while sitting at his desk at Rockefeller Center, working on a book about his personal art collection.
At least, that was what the papers said.
In reality, on January 26, 1979, at 12:20 AM, former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller died from a heart attack while flat on his back and shoeless, in a secret apartment with Megan Marshack, a woman almost 50 years his junior.”

Rockefeller’s wife, “HAPPY” wasn’t to happy when this all came out.

1/4 From a friend who is former CIA and still connected massively in Afghanistan. “We are about to abandon Americans” The Admin refuses at this hour to change the August 31st drawdown date, which means it begins almost immediately.
2/4 This decision is NOT conditions based and advice from some people at high levels in US Intel and also our military is being “disregarded”. Also “Anybody not out by the time the last plane leaves gets cut away.”
3/4 In Kabul processing of Afghans has stopped.
The Panjshir Valley will likely be overrun soon. People trying to save high value targets like women who held high positions, or people whom worked with the US are not being allowed to move them.
4/4 US Intel fears that when we leave, the Taliban will take down the internet, expel foreign journalists and “eliminate people by the thousands...anyone who might remotely be a threat.” US Emergency teams are being told their only safety guarantee is to get on the next flight.
