Many Americans say Trump gets away with things Nixon never could have. I disagree.

If Richard Nixon had the current majority Republican membership in Congress, the current Supreme Court that who has been bought and sold by the billionaire class, and the rightwing propaganda networks of today, he never would have had to resign, and could have run for a third term if he wanted to.

Don't just blame Trump; we are here because of the 3 things mentioned above!

Nixon did not have KGB material on nearly every Republican with which he could blackmail them.
