cannot be shouted enough.
nobody with any sense can dispute that - all you have to do is look at Perot's actions = dropping out when it looked like Clinton had all the impetus to win - then jumping back into the race when Bush began catching up.

Wrong. Americans bought the COVID narrative hook line & sinker. Believed every word of it.
Likewise Biden may seem down and out now, but after tonight's SOTU address, his presidency will be invigorated thanks to media praise and resulting change in public perception

Yes and no. The plumbers were not very good at their jobs and got caught. The whole thing was about exposing a call girl ring that both Democrats and Republicans were involved with. John Dean's wife was one of them before they got married.
Back in the 60s if you were in DC on "business" and you knew the right people female companionship was not all that hard to arrange. Both parties used them as a perk. Why Nixon had a tape recording system in the Oval Office still boggles the mind. Why he discussed things with Erlichman, Haldeman, Mitchell and Dean in that office is a head scratcher.....there is a study off the Oval Office he could have discussed things there and we would have NEVER known about it.

Nixon once visited Joe D Waggoner near our place out in Benton, when Cypress Lake was first formed.

You were also lied to about J. Edgar Hoover. The communists have done their jobs well, you have to give them that.

Not the brighter ones.
Govt systems are inhumane. It was always a "one size fits all" approach that goes against all common sense.

Welcome to the club buddy. I’ll add I fought in a war (Iraq 2003) that was fabricated completely. So yeah, we are on the same wavelength.

Everyone was most definitely lied to about Nixon. Red -Pilled America Podcast has a 5 part series on Nixon that puts light on this. He was a tremendous fighter of communists, and the communists in Hollywood needed to take him out. This was the leftist media’s coordinated successful trial run to take out a political opponent. They’re still at work.

Nixon might have been a criminal but he was far from a bumbling fool. He was sharp as a tack and very smart which is why people wonder how he got himself in the situation he did. His extreme paranoia is what did him in.

This is about the best simple summation of Nixon that I have heard. There has been much revisionist history of Nixon over the past 10 years to paint him as innocent, wrongly accused or a visionary. He did some good things, but his dishonesty, paranoia and lust for power did him in, starting with him ordering his Attorney General to fire the Special Prosecutor who was investigating him.

Not sure why the low t soy's on here downvoted my post. Nixon was extremely smart. Go watch some of his interviews on YouTube from the 80's and 90's in several of them he basically predicted the future bang on. His paranoia and controlling nature did him in not his smarts which can't be questioned.

a great many things.
I was too young to understand Vietnam and all that went down at the time.
I assumed that the smartest and most competent among us in DC knew what they were doing by sending nearly 60,000 American soldiers to a meat grinder.
To stop Communism, right? RIGHT?
Then I grow up and there's a god damn communist POS acting as Director of the CIA in John Brennan.
Everything I was told my whole life by this gov has been a lie.
Everything.
So the Gaslight Media and those who pen US history lied about Joseph McCarthy when they said McCarthy was trying to expose communist infestations in Hollywood and the Federal government that didn't exist.....he was paranoid?
Yeah, it appears they lied.

Hated the Federal Reserve, would have blown up NAFTA, and the middle class would be thriving, today. Very likely we would not have had second Bush, Obama, Trump or Biden. The trajectory of the US would have completely changed.
No Perot, no Clinton

Watergate was tiddlywinks.
RMN gave us the EPA. Also wage and price controls. Terrible policies.

Unless it was engineered. Do you really think Nixon said, "hey, Tommy, go break into that building and take pictures of their day planners"?

Nixon was the first Trump, as far as the establishment and Deep State out to sabotage him.

Yeah, but they only need the other half that believes them and views the other side as their enemy to be successful.
