The new Teflon don thought he was untouchable but he’s falling just like others before him by the RICO laws made famous in the 80’s by his lawyer and number 2 defendent who is in his 80’s Rudy Guliani.

    everyone I don’t like is a nazi

    Because I like presidents who accomplish Nazi things like… checks notes… workers’ rights, desegregation, environmental protection, and welfare / poverty assistance, and avoiding a second Cold War front?

    Nixon was a conservative man leading a progressive administration and the selected quotes you keep reiterating do not reflect the reality of his accomplishments.

      You’re doing it again. Those quotes are for quoting. Paraphrase, summarize and critique UNDER the quote.

      You’re really gonna claim desegregation for the POTUS who signed the Controlled Substances Act after ignoring the advice of his own commission whose report recommended legalization? That racist P.O.S.? Yeah, he really ‘desegregated’ all those black men into prison, didnt he?

      Also, your earlier point about other administrations being unable to overturn his racist legislation, which is responsible for a disproportionate amount of minorites incarcerated, resulting in continued growth of the prison population largely by non-violent drug convictions proves MY POINT. Nixon’s evil nazi spirit is still with us to this day. It is evident in the prisons, in the jails, in our justice system, in the DEA, in this weird quasi system for cannabis workers who can’t bank like other farmers. Fuck Richard Nixon and all his ilk.

      You wave the Clean Water Act around like it absolves him of his many other crimes. As if he wrote it. As if he wasn’t a huge pain in the ass for the actual authors who wanted an even better amendment to the FWPCA but couldn’t get it because Nixon vetoed them. As if he signed it for any reason other than to garner votes from the public who were at the time rightfully pissed off about the quality of water in the country. If he was actually the progressive environmentalist you paint him to be, he would have pushed for that legislation BEFORE the Cuyahoga caught fire for the 3rd time. But he didn’t. Because he was a P.O.S. who only cared about himself and power.

      Cite your sources for the rest of your B.S. claims. I don’t have the time to go hunting down all your goose chase whataboutisms. I brought my facts. Where are yours? You made the outrageous claim that Nixon was the “most progressive president in history” not me. Burden of proof tossed upon the believer. Put up or shut up. I’ve made some of my points that he was anything but progressive, and there is plenty more where that came from for this president.

      Your uncited claims do not reflect the reality of history. So ‘progressive’ he had to be the first to resign. What was that for again? Oh that’s right.

        Yeah sorry bud you lost when you tried calling me a nazi for liking clean water, desegregation, and peace. Better luck next time.

        Pro tip: I know it’s hard, but don’t get emotional when engaging in online discourse against people who you disagree with

          Nah, you earned that label by supporting one. Thinking that clown was responsible for what you claim is asinine.

          Also: way to not show up with any evidence, and not refute my valid points.

          You support a crook and liar. And you are a liar.

          Edit2: and your way is how nazis talk. The frivolous bad faith arguments with no evidence, all B.S., supporting authoritarians and sowing division, all while claiming the high ground.

          And lastly: I’m not your bud, guy.
