Deep State infected with commies staged a coup against Nixon and Trump. Nixon was a lot more popular than Trump but considering the time period he didn’t really have a lot of ways to get his message across despite being president.

Ironic that John Dean said in 2018 that Nixon “might have survived (Watergate) if there had been a Fox News”; Dean admits that the whole thing was media-driven, right there.

Nixon opening up trade with Red China was indeed a bad thing altogether, not just in short run and long run. Have a look at certain goals of the communists for the USA:
  1. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
  1. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of communist domination.

  2. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN. …
This lines up with the views of Karl Marx on free trade:
…(I)n general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.
Handing victories to communists is no way to defeat them, but to make them stronger.

I agree with your points but I believe it was the GOP that did not have the stomach to fight. Nixon’s side fled the battlefield leaving him few options.

50 years later and the GOP still specializes in the feckless, flaccid, self-destructuve sanctimony you pointed out.

“22,500+ people work in Trump tower resulting in 67,500 people the intel community tracked / spied on.”

More than that. It’s not just that they can spy on 2 extra people for anyone connected to the subject of the warrant. It’s that they can spy on anyone connected to the subject of the warrant, then anyone connected to any of those people, and then anyone connected to those people. It’s an exponential increase, not an additive one.

John Dean was the mastermind behind Watergate, and were it not for him there wouldn't have been a Nixon resignation.

Nixon was so far ahead in the polling that they didn't need to "bug" the Democratic National Committee Headquarters for intelligence. Nixon ended up carrying 49 of 50 states.

The purpose of Watergate was to get paperwork that Dean's then girlfriend Maureen was running a prostitution ring from within the DNC.

It was all outlined in the book Silent Coup that Liddy has said was the most factual account of what happened surrounding Watergate.

I’m quite certain that Trump remembers the fake news lynching of Nixon and learned the lesson of fighting crybullies. Never apologize.

I was 15 when Nixon resigned. To be brutally honest, I believe the impeachment of Bill Clinton over what the meaning of ‘is’ is was in delayed retaliation of the Nixon impeachment inquiry.//////

Nevermind Clinton’s 11 felonies and impeachable offense’s

"Nixon opening up trade with Red China was indeed a bad thing altogether, not just in short run and long run."

He was sold the saddle soap that a tripartite solution was more advantageous than permitting Soviet Russia and Mao's burgeoning China to rub up against each other.

The truth was, the globalists (money) saw both the massive cheap labor potential of Chine, and also feared that the two Communist-but-stupid-in-a-different-way EuroAsian continentals would nuke each other once China started reclaiming Mongolia and Southeastern Asia.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

— Goal #37 of the 45 communist goals for the USA
Those “globalists” are themselves ardent communists. They are not separate from communists in China, Russia, or anywhere else in what was formerly called the Second World, or even in the First and Third Worlds.

Communists are not averse to money at all. That’s why the second plank of communism is:
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The 16th Amendment literally enshrined the second plank of communism in the US Constitution. And it is no accident that all of the executive departments that don’t exist in the Constitution sprung up en masse starting in the 1920s through 1930s too.

And I think that part of the motivation of impeaching Trump was delayed revenge over impeaching Clinton

No, they are literally scared to death of Trump and the power he wields. He is a direct threat to their plans to create a One World Government where power will be held by the few, and who will Lord that power over the masses and who promise that you will have nothing but that you will be happy. They are so close to obtaining those dreams & desires. The only thing standing in their way is Trump who stands between them & the people of the world.

Makes sense

So, N*M^2 where N is the # of people in the building and M is the average number of people each person knows

Assuming 22,000 * 10^2 would be about 22m people

Yeah, obviously they don’t always surveil that much, but they could. And basically with just a few warrants like that and the general nature of human relationships, they can spy on the whole country.

JFTR, I was talking about Clinton, where only 45 voted to convict on the first count and 50 on the second.

I also was talking about Clinton.

There were 55 Republican Senators, and there had to be 67 guilty votes to convict. They needed all the Republicans and 12 Democrats, but got zero Dems.

The Republicans knew they didn't have the Democrat votes necessary to convict, so some RINOs took the opportunity to vote 'not guilty.' The five Republicans who voted 'not guilty' to both counts were:

John H. Chafee (R-Rhode Island)
Susan Collins (R-Maine)
James M. Jeffords (R-Vermont)
Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine)
Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania)
