Colin Kaepernick protested quietly, respectfully and was ostracized

4 Kent State students were shot & killed during anti-war protests by Nat‘l Guard

That set off a series of events that eventually exposed Nixon‘s crimes

We believe in democracy, even if it means sacrificing everything

Nixon's Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, Domestic Affairs Advisor John Ehrlichman, Attorney General John Mitchell, and White House Counsel John Dean all went to prison.

I remember everyone talking about that episode in school the week after it aired. I was slightly baffled that all of my 11th grade classmates had totally memory holed Pat Nixon's 1973 appearance in the Barnaby Jones/Cannon crossover episode "Mother, May I Dance With Terror?"

Problem is Trump’s approval rating is still in the area of 36%. Nixon’s lowest was in the area of 25%. If that is where it needs to get we are in for a longer haul.

This insanity is brought to you by SCOTUS via Citizens United.

Nixon’s GOP colleagues told him he had to resign because he was damaging their brand.

Today’s GOP can hold their nose and let him tank NATO because they are getting rich beyond their wildest dreams.

Even Nixon did not try to undermine the USA as a whole like this administration is doing on a daily basis.
I quit the Marines after 35 years because of Nixon's peccadillos.
Well, Shit!

🎵Tin soldiers and Nixon's gunmen
we're finally on our own
this summer I hear the drummin'
four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
soldiers are gunning us down
should've been done long ago
what if you knew her and
found her dead on the ground
how can you run when you know?🎵

If a claim is debunked on a website, and nobody cares, has it really been debunked?
The GOP realized after Nixon’s Downfall that if they controlled the press, they controlled the people. It’s worked very well so far.

In these Don Project times it’s Bread & Circuses.

Don’t be surprised if Don makes it to the Super Bowl postgame, resurrecting Nixon’s congratulatory phone call to the winning team’s coach & owner, especially if they’re his friends.

If CBS or FOX were airing the broadcast, they’d give him the spot…

Ike allowed Billy Graham access to national politics which led to Nixon's 'southern strategy' and Reagan's 'moral majority' and the fundamentalist christian/Roman Catholic alliance embodied by Alito, Roberts et. al. and the empowering of 'Christian nationalists'. Other than that he wasn't so bad.

There are long time NATO supporters in the Senate & House. This may actually be the one thing they don’t go along with.
Even Nixon’s Republicans had a line. And it seems like blowing up NATO might be current GOP Senators’ line. Several reporters said Senators are calling up asking if he’s serious!

Me thinks he still bitter from the tounge lashing Biden gave his 🫏 in the 2020 debates.

¡He totes lost, and lost soo hard! Takes an insurrectioninst to know an insurrectionist me guess.

Next it will be Nixon's rubber stamps. Oh 🩷 the humanity!

I only joined with Nixon’s election.
Sorry chat, I’m in my “I hate the US government” era (I’ve always been there and will never leave)

....Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s landslide victory in 1936 (523 electoral votes),
Lyndon Johnson’s in 1964 (486),
Richard Nixon’s in 1972 (520), or
Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 (525).

Results that swing states voted trump is 🚩🚩🚩

@jamellebouie.net makes the point that much of the modern Republican Party can be traced back to Watergate and Nixon’s resignation, and the major response since has been to make sure that Watergate can happen again (Iran-Contra, Trump v. US, John Roberts)

Yeah. Great song. I was thinking of ‘Ohio’ by Neil Young though: Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’
January 17, 2026 at 7:28 PM
...have to engage in to justify making Nixon's proclamation that "if the president does it, then it's not illegal."

On the one hand, they already squared that circle. They had to look at the worst president of the 20th century and say "yeah, that guy should have had fewer constraints"...

The Republicans that went into Nixon‘s office and told Nixon, it is over. Those men were brave and love this country. The Republicans today are cowards and probably as guilty as the president and all the people around the president… the November 2026 election cannot get here quick enough.

I'm sure the video is very nice and President Nixon's point is correct (not watching, sorry). just an odd persona to take on and make that post.
January 17, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Yes, but Mr. Obama never faced Mr. Nixon in the Presidential race. After all, Nixon's been dead a long time.
January 17, 2026 at 5:44 PM
You were blamed for not getting your home state of Massachusetts into Nixon’s column. It was too much for an 11 year old to accomplish.

The orange ogre has improved one thing since he got back into the White House: Richard Nixon’s legacy. #Trump

Pls listen @hcrichardson.bsky.social talks about some very important reasons why Gov Waltz isn’t calling in the NG. I’ve been critical. Also, she mentions without details Sascha Riley.& Nixon’s plumbers” were in charge of stopping the leaking….Had no idea.💡 & much more. youtube.com/watch?v=DY6X...

The military IS tasked with not obeying orders it KNOWS are illegal. They ALL KNOW THIS.

I hope you're not repeating Nixon's bullshit "if the President does it" (says it, commands it) "it's not illegal."
