    In this weeks #TheEconomist podcast, the journalists could find no evidence for what your memes imply.

    That said, there is, in fact, some merit to this argument, though it would, IMO, further corrupt the US political system, just like the deals made with #RichardNixon and #SpiroAgnew.

    And that is: inner peace. #TFG is a cult leader, no doubt. Alas, about a third of Americans are in this cult. At this point, ...

  19. Important lessons from a by 1. George Bush Sr’s role in obstruction of justice in 70’s 2. VP’s crimes forced the question of immunity and established the DOJ policy we still use today 3. Egregious corruption + grifting of republican VP even after resigning, receiving money from Saudis for helping with anti-Zionist propaganda and praising their call for Jihad 4. Bravery of those within the same party to pursue the case amidst intense political pressure

  22. I was just thinking back to the Agnew case. For many people, it was hidden behind the flames of Watergate, this lost from our collective memory. But it has strong echoes for today's Trump clown show. Podcasts Bagman or American Scandal will refresh your memory. A nail-biter at the time. #bagman #spiroAgnew #corruption #AmericanScandal #politics #usa #maddow #VP #VPOTUS #DOJ

    Very true.
    I've listened to some parts twice last year, as there were so many relevant details.

    She did a similar #podcast back in 2018 about the staggering demise of #Nixon's #Veep, #SpiroAgnew, but I've listened to just the Bonus Episode from 2023 so far.

  32. @Maddow was pointing out how #SpiroAgnew resigned his position as @VPOTUS to avoid probable jail time and wondered if this might happend again with #tRunt. There is a real problem with that. There is nothing to resign from, and there is no way to guarantee that he would not run for office again. He could swear on a stack of money that he wasn't going to run; he'd run anyway.

    Und wo ich gerade dabei bin, möchte ich auch BAG MAN empfehlen, den anderen Podcast von Maddow. Der ist zwar schon ein paar Jahre älter, aber ebenso interessant wie aktuell.
    Es geht um Spiro Agnew, der Richard Nixons Vizepräsident war. Der Name Bag Man rührt daher, dass Agnew das Schmiergeld gleich taschenweise in seinem Amtssitz im Weißen Haus entgegennahm.
