For some time now I’ve been lamenting that, if Watergate happened today, Nixon would have neither resigned nor been convicted.
I was too optimistic. Today’s new conservative narrative is that the Deep State framed Nixon.

The campaign to make Richard Nixon great again
The late president, who resigned in disgrace in 1974, actually wasn’t a crook, pundits on the right argue.

This is after a very defensive ALL CAPS post to Truth Social claiming (falsely) that “many” military and legal experts said this was all legal and justified and perfect.
You know, the exact same thing that he now claims he doesn’t know anything about and Hegseth supposedly says didn’t even happen.

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

I haven’t seen a single picket line in front of any Starbucks. Are baristas in California not striking?
If they’re not, is it because California law already requires their employers to do whatever the striking employees want elsewhere?
Or are they just not unionized or something?

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
