      Just like Nixon before him.

        Don’t get me started on Nixon…

        Forget about Watergate and the war crimes, what he did to screw up the economy was his greatest treason.

      And is the current contender not a traitor?

      The last thing dems need is to celebrate before the finish line, the deck is stacked against them.

        Maybe we should stop talking about ‘the Dems’ and ‘the liberals.’

        At this point, there are the fascists and the anti-fascists, and anyone who is voting against Trump is a buddy of mine.

      Yep. The classic October Surprise.

      Not even Iran-Contra. Before that.

        Someone else made the joke that with Kevin Bacon you need to go six steps to find a connection between actors. With Reagan you need to go three steps maximum to get to betrayal.

            The main reason I don’t believe in a JFK conspiracy is that they all seem to involve dozens of people. After all this time, you would think that one of them would have left a deathbed confession, if only to ensure their place in the history books.

              Not to get into the JFK thing, but there have been a couple. (for what its worth i’m not buying them.) But the nature of a conspiracy involving multiple illegal organizations in the crime of the century is going to entangle stories quickly as step 1.

              That aside though, the story of GHWB on that day is unsane. He supposedly accused a guy of the crime who he’d hired to be at a particular place and time that would make it seem like a legitimate accusation. The more you read about GHWB the more you wonder if he did know all about the UFOs . . .
