  2. The "mood of the #nation," in 1972, was so overwhelmingly #vengeful, #greedy, #bigoted, and blindly #reactionary that no presidential candidate who even faintly reminded "typical #voters" of the #fear & #anxiety they'd felt during the constant "social upheavals" of the 1960s had any chance at all of beating #Nixon last year--not even #TedKennedy...

  3. #Hanna says that the #recordings reveal that #Nixon was “not a true believer” in the #drugwar, despite being among its chief architects.

    Warum startete Nixon den #warondrugs und warum wurde parallel die Golddeckung für die US-Währung aufgehoben❓ Wer kennt die Hintergründe und kann es mir in einfachen Worten erklären? 😀

    These people, and others at the #WashingtonPost, were heroes to me when I was 18 years old in 1974, watching their work bring down #Nixon and his cadre of thugs.

    This was long before the movie, the accolades, and the judgement of history. I was still a teenager, but I knew right from wrong.

    And I know Jeff #Bezos isn’t fit to scrub their toilets.

    Which is a more honorable job than anything he has done, or ever will do.

  7. Attempted #Drumpf & #RFKjr purge of #CDC workers initially fails due to clerical "coding" error.

    “The employees who received incorrect notifications were never separated from the agency and have all been notified that they are not subject to the reduction in force,” said Andrew #Nixon, director of communications for the US Department of #Health and Human Services. More than half of Center for #Disease Control staffers gleefully fired Friday by #GOP administration have been reinstated.

    “We figure they started this thing, so they should be #Democrat-oriented,” the President said, placing blame for his second #GovtShutdown firmlly on a minority #Democratic lawmakers. #DJT did not provide details on what qualified the affected dismissed workers as “Democrat-oriented.”

    Once the "coding error " on the dismissal notifications is figured out by the admin's "Christian nationalist" headchopper #RussVought, it is almost certain thousands of federal workers will again be re-fired

  8. But in the years that followed, the strength of local #PublicTelevision & #PublicRadio stations in conservative states was often what saved the #federal #funding.

    In 1995, #NewtGingrich, then the #House speaker, made one of the most aggressive moves since #Nixon to “zero out” federal support for #PublicMedia before he found it politically untenable.

  9. Irre ich mich, oder steckt in dem #Wahnsinn von #USDiktator #Trump auch eine unfassbare Chance diesen ganzen neoliberalen Ideologie-Geschwätz den Todesstoß zu versetzen, den er sich seit 20 Jahren schon verdient hat?!

    Man muss kein Prophet sein, um die Katastrophe vorher zu sehen, die ein Friedrich #Merz anrichten wird, wenn man ihn libertär als #MiniTrump bei uns wüten lässt.

    Was wir brauchen ist der Ausstieg aus dem blinden #Konsum und #Wachstumswahn.

    But: "Only #Nixon could go to #China"..

  14. 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

  19. @SlaytheSystem
    The middle east was becoming as progressive as the rest, then on Sun Aug 15, 1971 #Nixon said, and we paraphrase, "we don't want to pay our debts that we accrue in #phonyWars (specifically #Vietnam), may the #moneyPrinterGoBrr."

    They printed money to pay debts.

    It was supposed to be temporary.

    Keep this in mind as the "#atrocityStories" come forth from #Afghanistan. These cretins have money to burn in your face, and blow it up your own ass.
