I remember when Nixon spent quite a bit of time designing resplendentuniforms for a White House "Palace Guard". He'd seen the fancy uniforms worn in Europe and was envious.
I really don't think that having the most powerful military in the world is the best argument to prove we are a great nation. Anymore than I think owning the fanciest weapon of any guy you know is the best argument to prove you are a great person.
I remember that too. The new uniforms were universally ridiculed. Then mothballed for several years before eventually being sold to a marching band in Iowa.
Nixon was an authoritarian backlash against the hippie movement, anti-Vietnam movement, and civil rights movement. Trump is an authoritarian backlash against the SJW movement, gay marriage decision, and the increasingly secular culture of American youth. Both Presidencies were basically the older generation showing the younger generation who is still in charge.
Nixon was at least smart though and didn't make America look like a banana republic.
I totally agree, especially what you state about Nixon being smart and Trump NOT...that is a given, but Trump certainly would be willing to do anything as long as it benefitted him which makes him quite a good choice for such a twisted and nefarious agenda. The fact that Roger Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back and has aligned himself with Trump does give one pause.
Glad you find it so fascinating. Wake me up when there is really something to talk about!!!!!
Roger Stone's obvious obsession and ties to Nixon and the fact that he is facing charges and under scrutiny in connection to Trump is of no consequence and not worth delving into at all. How absolutely disingenuous you sound. The party that proliferated Pizzagate, BENGHAZI and birtherism, has a real hard time seeing any dots to connect with this one. Right!
This post is not worth the internet it is typed on.
God Bless President Donald Trump ....2020....woo...hoo....
Right on. I grew up after Nixon but now I think that Nixon was, like Trump, targeted unfairly and, in the end, they got Nixon. I hope Trump never bows to that. Any dislike for Nixon was purely political. Nixon was not going to do what the crazies wanted so they made up some "horrible" bull. The truth is, after that, the crazys did much much worse but with their control over the media, no one will ever hear about it.
Liberals have to understand Trump has done just 1/4 of what the people, your neighbors, want him to do. They will not longer be fooled by the lies told to disrupt this country.
I cannot wait until November of 2020 when Trump is elected again.

How lame this sounds. For the moment and Nixon's corruption aside, one must be living under a rock to not be aware of Trump's lifelong racketeering, grifting and thievery. C'mon man, this crook bilked hard working fellow Americans out of their savings at his bogus university, has a history of stiffing contractors for services rendered and siphoned off money from a charity meant for kids with cancer and you want to carry water for him? Seriously?
Did Obama fulfill Stalin's legacy? I think he did. Just another TDS from the TDS Queen.
