"Oh, and I, um, did not have electoral treason with that Evil Empire, Russia." - Comrade Casino (R - Family Values)

.

I'm talking about Woodward and Bernstein and newspapers that dug down for the truth. We also had 'Deep Throat' a person that - in my opinion - was a true patriot - that risked his career and life to take down Nixon. We also had Party (Repug) notables that put the country before partisanship and went to the WH and put pressure on Nixon (one of their own) to resign.

Look at what we have today. Need I say more?

honorably during the process.

I'm not hopeful the truth will come out.

There are no journalists with gravitas today.

but he is shouting from the floor of the Pacific Ocean.

Needs to GET BACK on Television, however, no MSM Network will hire him as they are all in Cheeto Trumpskin's Ass....

They don't seem to care who they're making the money off.

If it's sensational, they'll run it. I'm seeing push back in shows where they just gave Trump a pass.

They'll tear him down as soon as something concrete emerges.

William Ruckleshaus and Mike Pence.
And any reporter today who would dare uncover the smoking gun on Trump would be immediately "DanRathered."

Several spring to mind from wapo, nytimes, and vox. The fact that people eschew print journalism in favor of tv journalism, is the bigger issue.

they won't be difficult to find.

don't record anything, don't admit anything, lie bigger and bigger, distract by accusing democrats of the same or worse, get outraged over nothing, tilt the playing field with disenfranchisement laws, steal elections with the court, etc.

... and stop with the dirty tricks and crimes. yeah, right!

A hell of a lot scarier than Watergate! We've been sold out lock stock and barrel!

Damn them, damn them all!!!

But this is the first time I've been truly terrified.

We have the fucking anti-Christ at the helm!

This is much worse.

DNC office is proved,holy crap kiddies. Remember,one of the Spook Agencies alluded to that during the Summer. The office was swept twice,only finding evidence that a recording device had been present some 8-10 feet from Donna Brazzile's Office door. There were fake Volunteers who infiltrated this office. With all of the hustle and bustle around these Offices,phonies try to join in. This might be the soaking gun.

leader to get elected president.

that never happened?

goods on Tricky Dick but couldn't go public . . . Because LBJ used illegal wiretaps to get the goods.

because the Republican majority in congress will now circle the wagons. Further, the fate of the country and in fact the world hangs in the balance. That wasn't as much the case back in the '70's.

That didn't really happen that way during watergate. They tried and failed.

and Republicans are about as American as Putin—they won't vote against themselves; So everything will be swept under the carpet.

However, I generally agree - I looked it up the other day. Democrats held the Senate by a 58-42 margin and had somewhere a little north of 250 seats in the House.

To charge Nixon, the Democrats only needed a simple majority in the House and would have needed to swing only 9 out of 42 Republican votes to convict.

At no time did the Watergate hearings and revelations make me fear for the very existence of the United States. Watergate never made me consider the possibility of mass, armed uprisings against a dangerous regime. I think that's exactly where we're headed.

but you're right, I don't think there was the imminent threat of an overtly fascist regime with Nixon. I think the big thing to watch for will be whether Trump tries to use troops to deport immigrants. If there is any sign of that, we are screwed beyond belief.

For all his vast faults, he knew how the game was played, and when his own party turned against him, he bowed out. Contrast that with what we're facing, now.

I talked to an old friend of mine recently. He was distraught because he's gay and he's rightfully fearful of reprisals against the LGBT community by Trump and his goon followers. I ended up offering him and his partner sanctuary and protection, should things end up as bad as that. In my worst nightmares, I never imagined having to take such an action in this country. God help us all.

Please don't try to sugarcoat Nixon. He was the worst president we ever had in this country. What he did sabotaging the Paris Peace Talks and then stretching out the Vietnam War for four more goddamned years just so he could be elected and re-elected president is truly beyond the pale.

Trump isn't in the White House yet.

.. this is MUCH worse

Unless you think Trump was the hacker. I know it wasn't Nixon.

...pursued by a press corps still somewhat invested in uncovering truth.
