I recall during the Docugate scandal that ended Dan Rather’s days at CBS, it being said that when it came to doing hit pieces on Nixon, he just ran with them and did very little or no fact checking.

I have often voiced my opinion that I would rather be Stabbed in the trust by the likes of truck Schumer, then stabbed in the back by the likes of Mitt Romney.

There is indeed something I find more egregiously distasteful about people who betray beliefs they profess to stand for and those who wish you ill and are fairly upfront about it.

The latter are often just evil People. But the former are both evil and duplicitous.

Naah. Kennedy didn’t want to bring down the Deep State, he wanted to co-opt it for himself to rule it. His people soon made up its membership. Not a good guy at all.

Asked why he didn’t go after Clinton, Woodward puffed up his
chest and answered, because compared to Nixon there was
nothing of note that took place under Clinton.

Watergate was a Media coup that deposed a duly elected President of the United States.

Yes. This is what it was.

There’s a good documentary on Amazon. It’s called, The Last Narc. It’s about the murder of a DEA agent. The CIA and DEA were involved in his murder. They were also running cartel drug shipments into America. One CIA operative that interrogated the agent while he was tortured was Bush buddy named Rodriguez. Our government has been corrupt for many years.

I heard that Nixon left because they were threatening his family if he did not. He was and would have continued to be a great President.

Only someone entirely ignorant of history could say that. Nixon was an unmitigated disaster who got what was coming to him.

Nixon gave us the EPA, surrendered in Vietnam, surrendered to China, preserved Johnson's great society by eviscerating the space program to pay for welfare, and sabotaged the space shuttle. And that is just what I can recall off the top of my head.

Read a historical novel,WATERGATE AMENDMRNT, by John Fitzgerald, on Amazon, this story is so true and fascinating, explaining all the main characters, most importantly Kissinger & Rockefeller, America’s first coup, that required setting up the 25th AMENDMRNT.
Mind blowing but true story.

Time for constitutional convention to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service.

17th Amendment = Uniparty/Fedzilla

Senior Executive Service = Deep State

So you liked the “BS take down” by the democrats & the media of President Nixon, because Nixon wasn’t your perfect little conservative ideologue.

The EPA was coming in through the legislative branch regardless of Nixon.

Diplomacy with China was going to happen regardless of Nixon.

So far every Republican President or Congress since Nixon, hasn’t Eviscerated the great society or new deal programs.

We still have a space program, even the I never pay attention to it.

As far as your opinion of Nixon

“Cool stories, bro.”

Precisely, and don't forget his abuse of presidential power by imposing wage and price controls. His conduct was so egregious I voted for McGovern in protest (besides I knew George didn't have a prayer).

This doesn’t pass the smell test for me. Simple facts. The IRS had been weaponized by Nixon. I am pretty sure J Edgar was still running the FBI. Nixon had full control of US spy apparatus. Much like you say that about DNC control over same today.
