  1. #MissKittyPolitics No. #CLIMATE #Vance is dumber than GW #Bush. Somebody help me. And speaking of Bush, all of this old pining for the past just because he wasn't dropping bombs on you is really making me nauseous. He killed over a million people in #Iraq. Fuck Bush. Fuck the #GOP back to #Nixon.

  2. Check out this clip from my conversation with James D Boys about how Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger utilized the Madman Theory in foreign diplomacy then check out the full episode to learn more! #history #POTUS #Nixon youtube.com/shorts/JqSoPjgp14o

    It's not just you.

    It's called "The Two Santa Claus Theory", and it's been around since #Nixon.

    Ehrlich gesagt, hat ein gewisser #Nixon, damals in den 70ern Präsident der #USA deutlich auf den bevorstehenden menschengemachten Klimawandel hingewiesen und die erste Klimaschutzorganisation gegründet. Huch?

  5. @rHAdlerin
    Der drohende #Klimawandel war schon #Nixon bekannt und er warnte ausdrücklich davor. Und wenn Sie schon die Politik so einbeziehen möchten, dann bitte über die Landesgrenzen hinaus. Deutschland steht in so manchem Vergleich gar nicht so schlecht da, und trotzdem gibt es Maulereien, weil ja die #Reiche den Zwang zu den erneuerbaren nicht ganz so mitgehen will. Wenn sie nur eine Sekunde in meine Vita geopfert hätten, und selbst so?

  6. #OTD in 1974, Richard Nixon announced to the nation that he would resign as president. Check out this clip of my conversation with Laurence Jurdem about George H W Bush's respect for Nixon in spite of Watergate #history #Nixon #Bush #POTUS presidenciespodcast.com/the-hi

  7. #Canada ‘punched above its weight’ in #WorldWar2. But when #Nixon wanted #Canadians to fight in #Vietnam , Pierre #Trudeau was a ‘hard no’. In fact, he welcomed #DraftDodgers to Canada! cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.362

    After #September11th , Canadians fought and died alongside #Americans in #Afghanistan. But when George W. Bush asked Jean Crétien to send troops to #Iraq , Crétien smelled the #WMD hoax and was a ‘hard no’.

    #MarkCarney is a ‘hard no’ on the #FelonsCrusade too!

    Oh yay, I haven't been keeping track of the #Artemis #space #sls program of late. First manned return to the #moon since #Apollo17. With a #Canadian, a woman and #poc.

    I wonder if #Trump will have speeches prepared for the various mission contingencies as #Nixon had: space.com/if-apollo-11-astrona

    Of course, if they leave with 3 and come back with FOUR #astronaut, then we should be concerned: xkcd.com/1484/

  9. For some context, let's remember that #Strom #Thurmond so detested Abe Fortas on #SCOTUS, he screened #pornography on the Senate floor (since Fortas voted w/ majority to allow #pornographic films), calling it the #Fortas #Film #Festival. Fortas #resigned the following year, after a personal donor got arrested for stock fraud & #Nixon's AG threatened to #prosecute Fortas' wife for #tax evasion. He later argued cases before the #court! #impeach #clarence #thomas #now en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Fort
