  1. “As I joked with Robert backstage, if #Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. Like, the idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy.”

  2. Question: Was the young King present with Nixon because, like Prince Andrew, there was children's flesh to pump here in America, where the evil dictate to the corrupt, who rule over the gullible, they who gleefully reelect slick-talking cockroaches in suits?

  3. Hype of the Future 162/284: City of Nixon, Texas

    Overview The City of Nixon is a community along Route 87 and Texas State Highway 80 located at the junction of Karnes, Wilson, and Gonzales Counties. Today, the community is self-described interestingly as a “compact neighborhood” instead.

  4. #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!

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...

  6. RE: mastodon.hongkongers.net/@glca

    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/

  7. Für die USA war sie ein Staatsfeind, für die DDR ein Pop-Star. Welche Rolle spielte die Bürgerrechtlerin Angela Davis, die vor 50 Jahren verhaftet wurde?
