He was the one who lead a legion of ratfuckers, and Rove and Roger Stone learned their trade from Segretti, so yeah, he has a lot to answer for, and if there’s a heaven or hell, he’s having a hot time at the moment. But a couple of Nixon actions (starting the EPA or the War on Cancer) seemed to be a case of him…
Just to make a comment

Nixon was a racist power hungry paranoid partisan motherfucker. That said, he was a peach next to Trump. I know I see the world differently than Nixon, and think he was wrong in several ways, but believe that he acted the way he did in what he believed would be the best interest of the United States. I don’t think…
I’m glad he’s getting the attention he deserves, but am concerned he’s about to be hired by the Trump administration. Probably head of INS or HUD.
Now playing
John Oliver was prescient when he labelled it “Stupid Watergate”.
“Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself”
Yeah, people occasionally have poor judgement when they’re in love. <Sigh>
Still comprised of rapists, but the older kinder gentler ones?
Actual data, from here:
Merkel gave a speech last year saying the EU can’t rely on “traditional allies” (hint hint), and so may be going it alone. So I know they’re resigned to the current US administration not taking their usual diplomatic role (for better or worse). But it’s quite a jump from just no longer partnering in diplomacy, to…
Some rich donor’s kid who wants to get into design. He’s so good with computers, it’s unbelievable.
My guess is that Kim has no real interest in changing anything, but is going along with it as he’s hoping they’ll have some really cool banquets, and he may get presents of luxury goods that are currently difficult to get. And possibly he wants to meet Kanye.
Realizing that Trump won’t read what Obama wrote. I know he wrote it for the putative grown-ups in power, not for him. Bush the lesser or Reagan, who weren’t known for their intellectual curiosity, would at least have spent the time to do that. Remarkable times.
His father hit him and knocked him down for not wearing a suit to a baseball game. Maybe not the guy to throw stones.
That’d be cool, but while this may be sexist of me to think, I’d be more than a little ok if a woman was the one to put Trump behind bars. Yeah, I know, a lot would have to go right. But it’s been a surprising couple of years.
His appointment(s) to the Supreme Court and the rest of the judiciary alone are going to leave a dark stain on the country, possibly for decades.
He had advance knowledge of Russian hacking Podesta’s phone. He may want to be involved in the hopes he gets a pardon.
Putin probably has both effective carrots and sticks for Trump. That’s how Putin got into power. Yes, the bribes you mention exist. But even though the Russian issue is looming over his presidency, Trump’s continued to backpedal on sanctions for Russia. Trump’s shown no loyalty to those who’ve helped him before…
I’ve seen nothing to suggest he wouldn’t do that. He was caught for it in 1990, and had minimal repercussions,
Honestly, the things about myself that I thought would most scare people away ended up being the thing that a couple really nice people responded to. I didn’t mention power tools in my profile, but one girlfriend did very much appreciate that I was handy and we had several wonderful weekends of DIY at her place on a…
