Friday marks the 50th anniversary of one of the darkest days in American politics — the day when the FBI and the rest of the deep state overthrew the duly elected government of President Nixon by forcing him to resign for crimes that were never named, much less committed.
The deep state is hell bent on Trump getting to know what Custer felt like. Every probe into three letter federal departments verifies that fact. If the lies spewed during congressional testimony aren't convincing enough, you must be deaf, and dumb, and blind. For the sake our country, may God Save Trump!
God heard you. He resurrected Pat Boone, the Conservative's conservative-gave him a song that if Trump plays at every campaign stop, he wins bigly in November. Be nice if he could get Pat to show up.
He had over 25 singles reach the top 20 on the U.S. singles charts, including the number-one hits "Ain't That a Shame" (1955), "I Almost Lost My Mind" (1956), "Don't Forbid Me" (1957), "Love Letters in the Sand" (1957), "April Love" (1957), and "Moody River" (1961). "I'll Be Home" (1956) reached No. 1 in the UK. https://youtu.be/z-bG_NK5C_E
One line in that song bothers me: “Cause we can’t find the way to agree.” Reminds me of people who “just wish everyone would get along” and don’t understand that we are fighting people who don’t care about the Constitution, much less God, and will do any lawless, deceptive thing to hold on to power.
People have to understand that it is necessary to stand up, speak out, and take action because our Constitution and our American way of life is being attacked by Marxists.
But I love the line about the old family Bible still holds our survival. If Christians would study God’s whole Word and actually live by it, we might have a chance.
Thank you for that. He doesn't quite sound like he used to, but that should not be surprising at age 90. Nevertheless, if I had not known it was Pat Boone I would not have recognized his voice.
My feeling is, Gail may have a point about the song sounding sad, but still it has potential for Trump's campaign -- if sung by a younger artist with current popular appeal, maybe a country-western singer with a pleasant voice. Who that would be I could not say, because I have not kept up on the music scene.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. When I was a teen; Pat Boone worked at a men's clothing shop down town Nashville; I nearly swooned when I went in the shop to buy a birthday gift for my dad.
Except that Custer got his ass kicked by Indians, not General Terry.
I seriously doubt the deep state will take another sniper shot at Trump. Watch out for his plane making an unscheduled landing in a meadow or corn field. They have a thousand other evil ways and they are hell bent on serving the devil.
This nation and the entire world are riding on the edge of disaster.
Mark Felt was driven by a revenge motive that cannot be overstated. Every time I see J. Edgar Hoover's name, a huge neon sign lights up in my mind. BLACKMAILER ALERT. Hoover's power was unimaginable and is unappreciated to this day by the average American. He politically weaponized and used the FBI to create files on everyone. Every politician. Every Civil Rights activist. Every person with potential to harm him. Every person who knew or might suspect his sexual preferences. He was feared by everyone in Washington, Even the Presidents feared him. Those files made him immune from interference and allowed him to direct the deep state and influence domestic and foreign policy. Now imagine yourself as the first born son of the king. Imagine being denied your rightful ascension to the throne by a mere government official. Nixon was that inconvenient official who denied you the throne. Do you feel the sting, dear Prince? The Prince took his revenge while hiding in the shadows like the all of the deep state cowards running Washington today.
If I recall correctly, wasn't there a scandal in the Clinton administration when Hillary obtained several hundred confidential FBI files and probed them for dirt to use on other politicians?
Yes, the Clinton's had those FBI files hidden in the White House. I'm sure they were used as leverage or black mail to enhance their power and control. Everyone remembers that both Bill and Hillary eluded suffering any consequences from their criminal conduct during their "service" to our country.
The chances are greater than zero that the FBI continues to collect dirt on everybody. How else can you explain the actions of Chief Justice Roberts?? John McCain was a bastard but his vote to keep Obamacare is fishy even for him.
I have heard it suggested, back when it was in public consciousness, that Hoover was induced to turn over his files on congress to Mrs. Clinton, and her further pursuit of such powerful "secrets" (to advance her own political leverage) was rudely interrupted by another Federal body causing harm to Vincent Foster to demonstrate to her how easily the White House could be penetrated. This other federal body refused her requests for Phoenix Personnel. Tic-for-tat, then, the other side had a former head of this Federal body disappeared, with a warm breakfast found on his table, and he found later, elsewhere, somewhat cooler, at room temperature. Mexican Stand-off. Meanwhile, the deep state resumed their serial "Kwick-Kwak' that remains with our world today. Fantasy is always simple and visible: reality has always been elusive, innuendo and implication its handmaidens.
You’ve captured the time so well. It’s a reminder of how readily actual (near time) history is forgotten even by those who lived it. It’s also a reminder of how long the threads of corruption last.
Woodward was Naval Intelligence, not a journalist. The majority of Watergate 'burglers' were CIA. Duly elected Agnew was pushed out and Ford was installed; kinda like what is happening today. Democracy. Not.
JFK tried to do his job and manage the CIA and got Epsteined. Epstein was CIA. RFK tried to hold government accountable and got Epsteined.
Trump fired Deep State Comey and McCabe and the full power of our corrupt government tried to jail or bankrupt him or his friends, and almost Epsteined him.
I voted for Nixon as an 18-year-old; and Watergate soured me on the Republican Party for the next 15 years, until I became a libertarian.
What is happening to Trump is similar, except that the cover-up villains supporting the coup are those in the lockstep, goose-stepping media. Come to think of it, Watergate was the same. The worse cover-up villains are the media and the Deep State.
Now, luckily, the Dems have overplayed their hand, Trump can afford the legal battle, and we have the internet to get around the media conglomerates, and we have Mr. Surber.
Americans are a decent people, who mostly want to be left alone with their families to pursue their paths in life. Our whole country has been based on giving people the freedom to do this without interference by government. And being decent, we have a hard time grasping that a segment of people are vile, because that level of evil is alien to us. So we are slow to awaken and slow to anger.
We will soon be finding out if once awakened we are fearsome to deal with. Although it's tempting to be pessimistic because of how slow people (including us) have been to awaken, and how peacefully we have so far approached correcting this, I think we may be surprised at how powerful and effective we are in finally putting down this contamination of America.

Gold and Silver, and a middle finger to all the real women who worked so hard to get to the Olympics. God bless the Olympics? No, God damn the Olympics! (hat tip to the lightbringer’s minister)
Without knowing about the Deep State and corruption of the FBI, we would not be able to understand or believe the history of Watergate that Mr. Surber has reported so well. We know about the Deep State and FBI corruption because of what they are doing to Trump.
This is an excellent comment--your point is right on. Fascinating, really, that after decades, we can only finally understand Watergate now because of the exposure of the Deep State and FBI corruption.
Because the low information voters aren't seeing what the rest of us see, Gail. They're too self-absorbed and get their news from the wrong places, if at all.
Yes, sadly, I guess you are correct. And the leftist useful idiots don't see the truth until / unless it blows up in their faces as happened when Biden went toe-to-toe with Trump only about one month ago.
Don't forget natural selection, DNA matters...not everyone is really "sharp as a tack" , well unless youa re a Democrat, ...riiiight! Thats how the Uniparty has stayed in power for so long. Both parties know the "electorate" isn't really 'sharp as a tack.' They tested it with the "magic bullet" and confirmed it with "office furniture gets real hot when its burned so a building falls straight down in a few hours" schtick...then they topped it off with "six feet apart, or you're a Nazi." and "there is no evidence of election fraud" .... and now "She was never the Border Czar"...sadly the truth is there are just lots of sharp-as-a-pound-of-wet-liver folks in reality, honest, really. Have you ever dealt with a bureaucracy?
The professional soreheads have never been able to instill communism in this nation because doing it depends on creating chaos, and until now people have been generally happy and the system stable.
That is changing. Hussein Obama, equally as white as black, spent his entire presidency stoking racial hatred, brilliantly lumping non-white together in one undefined mass as the "oppressed" and baffled white folks as the universal "oppressors."
I have vehemently resisted predictions of civil war, but I'm not sure now that those people were wrong. An old friend - as in 85 years old - says that whoever shoots first, loses. The communists, radical progressives, and Democrats - but I repeat myself - have undertaken a very successful program to destabilize The Greatest Nation That Ever Was, the centerpiece of which is flooding us with over ten million people who have no love for this country except for what it can provide. We're seeing where that leads in Britain, where bloody riots between the native-born and the illegals have reached a boiling point. I believe that we are not far behind, but the real villains are not the illegal aliens and their families. The enemy is, as always, the politicians who couldn't care a whit about human life and engineered the whole thing to gain power for themselves.
Unfortunately, the uninformed masses won’t see it that way. The shooter in Trump’s case was reported as a lone actor with “unknown motive”. In other words, just a crazy person.
I am convinced that Leftists are just waiting for the other side to fire the first shot so they can declare war and position themselves as righteous. I think that’s part of them revealing so much of themselves - to anger and provoke.
A small quibble--I would not call Obama "brilliant". He did not come up with that strategy-- it originated with the Frankfurt School of Marxism and Antonio Gramsci, which turned to division on the basis of Race to promote Marxism, instead of Class.
Obama was just a "pretty boy con man" who had deep identity issues and personal resentments, and put lipstick on the pig of Communism.
The clear thread running through the Watergate era up to the present day is the utter corruption of both the Deep State and their partners in the MSM. Because they have gotten away with it for so long, my guess is that they feel they are invulnerable. Clearly, the lawfare campaign against DJT has been fostered by the Deep State and given huge coverage by the media in order to hamper his re-election bid not the mention the infamous 51 intelligence officials who said the laptop was Russian misinformation. Given all that has been revealed about the Secret Service's performance in Butler PA, it seems plausible that they played a role in the assassination attempt on DJT's life. Remember Chuck Schumer's words about the Deep State and how they have "six ways to Sunday of getting back at you".
If the Trumpster did nothing else, he has exposed the nasty situation in Washington. Alot of us on this blog were not aware of how bad it is until The Donald came into the fight.
Every so often these videos pop up on YouTube and it’s a short snippet of a conversation with Nixon. I’ve watched most of them and I come away with a much deeper understanding of what Nixon was trying to do in his second therm and why. He was spot on as is Trump trying to reign in the government.
Both have some very common goals and we as a population have a very strong need in downsizing this government and bringing to justice some seriously bad characters
"President Trump can pull the plug on the intelligence community and the rest of a federal government that is too large, too expensive and too stupid to do anyone much good."
He could but they'll murder him first and they don't care if we know it. The question is, and always has been, "What are we going to do about it?"
Yes, yes, yes. That question keeps me up at night. I believe we will do nothing, and so do they. And since they CANNOT allow him to become president again, they are counting on that to save their hides.
I don't know-- there's an international awakening going on right now. The scales are falling from peoples eyes all over the place. This may be too big for any subversive group to stop.
They jumped the shark with this Trans weirdness and attacks on Israel for defending themselves. Doesn't help that many economies are in the shitter and people feel it. They're trying to blame Trump but it ain't working this time. Dems own it.
I would have voted for Bill Gates. He's an evil, prissy schlep, a clone of George Soros that gets rich on the suffering of others. He's pissed off Elon Musk for shorting Tesla and separately my carnivore friends including Olympic athletes for promoting for profit cheap veggie proteins. I could go on but I need to calm down so I can lay back down. Thanks for listening. MAD DOG
Notice there are never any dems defecting to conservative ideals yet there are many repubs supporting dem initiatives? With debt rising faster than ever and no real effort to constrain it we can only reference the old parable...the love of money is the root of all evil. We're being fleeced to pay for all this corruption.
I was never aware of the political money laundering until Trump. Foreign aid gets washed back to politicos through book deals, speeches, stock tips and foundations. Both parties are at the trough so asking them to stop it isn't going to happen. There are no good solutions to the problem only pain.
Bravo, you hit the quote correct which most people misquote. But I think there are MANY former ppl on the left who are now coming over to the Right’s Light!
Eisenhower and McCarthy tried to warn people way back in the 50s but to no avail.Thank you Poca-Man for a reminder the cast may change but the plot line remains power and greed.Under ozero and bidet one gets a wake up call but too many push the snooze button creating the mess PDJT faced and faces yet again in his attempt to bring America back to sanity and morality.Lead on Mr. Surber and we can MAGA 2024 too big to rig.
Even with all of our problems most Americans are fat, dumb and happy. The Dems just staged a soft coup on their supposed leader and crickets. Pretty sure Nancy met with Joe, Jill and key staff to tell them what was going to happen to them and their families if they didn't fall in line. Hunter would overdose. Jill would be charged. Joe would be committed to an insane asylum. No 25th amendment for him. His choice to retire was pretty easy.
Spot on, by pretending a vote counts is to condone your consent to be governed. I withdrew my consent to be governed and left NY a year an half ago. I wont vote in NC because I do not consent to be governed anymore. I know what is right and what is wrong. The "law" has been destroyed by the corrupt and criminal bureaucracy so I no longer participate. I agree to be stolen from as I launder the worthless cash they print, because it's easier than fighting a never ending battle against stupidity. And I do what I want on the weekends when I'm not selling glass & aluminum. I have to start selling shirts that say "Go piss up a rope, you Leftist twit", but then I'd have to inventory them and take up my weekends throwing frisbees, ...sigh....priorities folks.
The "proper" column? "Choosing between the lesser of two evils, is still choosing evil" -Jerry Garcia
I used to vote until I witnessed 2020. I voted for Trump in 2016 & 2020, and Lee Zeldin in 20220, after voting for the Libertarians instead of Bush and McCain, I abstained from Romney and Obama, literally there was no choice, they were the same criminal.
But after 2020, '22 and COVID, there is no country left. They have already won. Now I'm just keeping my head down. Let Darwin sort this out with God's plan.
When the riots start here like in Europe, we will just show the world how to do riots like Americans, it'll be Yuge. Keep your powder dry, and don't shoot til you see the whites of their eyes.
no longer am I participating in the fraud that used to be a republic. the oligarchy has won. voting just allows them to justify taking more rights, so at some point, the shit hits the fan. Mark Robinson can't fix anything. Leftism is a mental disorder. Even if Mark wins, this state and the country are already so bass ackwards...waaay too many morons self inflicting a death of thousand cuts upon themselves. I'm just a spectator, enjoying the views.
You used the term "fat, dumb, and happy". Back in the mid 60's, my World History teacher, Harold Burgard, always used that term to describe how most people went through life. A corollary would be "bread and circuses". I am always amazed how totally ignorant most Americans are about how Washington D.C. works. And especially how it works against them and for the donor class. Congressman John Breaux of Louisiana was purported to say, "My vote cannot be bought, but it can be rented." That pretty well sums it up.
What she probably meant to say was that if Joe left quietly, he could be on Mt. Rushmore, but if he decided to keeping run his campaign, he would be under it.
It has been said that people hate to be informed. "Rather, people need to be amused, shocked, or angered. Well, that's old school thinking. Today we are being lied to, stolen from, and treated like sheep. Kinda reminds me of two fellows talking. The first says, "Neither a beggar nor borrower be." - William Shakespeare." The second man replies , "Fuck you." - Tennessee Williams.
Very timely as the current DC junta just shoveled out $2 million between the execrable Strzok and Page when they should have gotten life sentences for their criminal misconduct that is NKVD degrees worse than the Watergate burglary (which was a common practice of the Democrats like LBJ who loved dirt on their opponents as much as their bitter hold on power).
I voted for McGovern also. I was very interested in the whole Watergate story, and was sure Nixon was a bad man. I try to remember my naïveté when I get disgusted with young adults today.
I did NOT vote for McGovern but at the time I was too dumb to get the whole picture, was back at school with husband getting a GI degree and young children, who were my focus. It's taken years to wise up, sadly. Young people don't really comprehend much, it takes time. We watched Water gate on black and white tv wondering what it was really all about.
The final peices of the puzzle only came out with the release if some new documents a couple years ago. I never belived Nixon was guilty, and read probably 15 books on the subject.
Finally in 2021 Geoff Shepard published The Nixon Conspiracy.
My first presidential vote was in 1972 for Nixon. I was 18 and in college. I don’t remember why I voted for him other than that my parents were voting for him and I was not the rebelious sort of teenager.
I was at NYU for that campaign and both candidates came to speak. Nixon seemed on the ball, McGovern was wishy-washy and unconvincing. I then voted for Nixon.
“Russiagate” was very much “Watergate” Redux, just dressed up in a different package, with the exception that Russiagate was patently bogus from the get go. It was helpful though, to those who cared to pay attention, to exposing a near whole of our own US federal government effort to unseat the duly elected President.
The Watergate episode, however, at least was based upon an actual crime. To this day I still have so many unanswered questions about it, either because they’ve never been answered or I am simply ignorant of them. One of those questions is, what was the point of the break-in to begin with? I’ve heard many answers but they all seem to fall flat to one degree or another. I’ve always felt the whole idea of the break-in itself was a set-up. I confess to being woefully ignorant of much surrounding the whole affair, although I listened to the Hearings everyday back then. But, while so much of what was actually happening went way over my head at the time, I’ve never gotten over the distinct feeling that the actual truth never made it to the light of day, right up to this day.
What is plausible though in your mind? What if the point was, to get caught, so there would be a cover up to overthrow Nixon? Hmmm. Do you doubt they aren't that evil?
The deep state is hell bent on Trump getting to know what Custer felt like. Every probe into three letter federal departments verifies that fact. If the lies spewed during congressional testimony aren't convincing enough, you must be deaf, and dumb, and blind. For the sake our country, may God Save Trump!
God heard you. He resurrected Pat Boone, the Conservative's conservative-gave him a song that if Trump plays at every campaign stop, he wins bigly in November. Be nice if he could get Pat to show up.
He had over 25 singles reach the top 20 on the U.S. singles charts, including the number-one hits "Ain't That a Shame" (1955), "I Almost Lost My Mind" (1956), "Don't Forbid Me" (1957), "Love Letters in the Sand" (1957), "April Love" (1957), and "Moody River" (1961). "I'll Be Home" (1956) reached No. 1 in the UK. https://youtu.be/z-bG_NK5C_E
A heartfelt song but would be terrible on the campaign trail. It’s like a funeral dirge.
Like we're not dying? I found the video a clarion call to God.
That doesn’t make it a successful song on a campaign trail.
You watched it?
Yes.
Please excuse my ignorance, but which of these songs would that be?
My bad, Wim-none of the above-this one's brand new-
click on. https://youtu.be/z-bG_NK5C_E. click on my blue medallion for more.
One line in that song bothers me: “Cause we can’t find the way to agree.” Reminds me of people who “just wish everyone would get along” and don’t understand that we are fighting people who don’t care about the Constitution, much less God, and will do any lawless, deceptive thing to hold on to power.

Why Isn’t Pat Boone in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? The CC curse: Conservative Christian!!
If we remove Elvis, Pat Boone would have been the King of Top 40 radio in the ’50s.
Got to meet him very briefly after a concert with his daughter Debbie.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. When I was a teen; Pat Boone worked at a men's clothing shop down town Nashville; I nearly swooned when I went in the shop to buy a birthday gift for my dad.
And thank you for sharing-'we did not miss, you and I, we did not miss that many splendored thing'; The very best singers in history.

Mark Felt was driven by a revenge motive that cannot be overstated. Every time I see J. Edgar Hoover's name, a huge neon sign lights up in my mind. BLACKMAILER ALERT.

If I recall correctly, wasn't there a scandal in the Clinton administration when Hillary obtained several hundred confidential FBI files and probed them for dirt to use on other politicians?
Absolutely. And we still don’t know what ever happened to Craig Livingstone - the guy who got them for her.
Everything “not approved” officially gets memory holed. We’ve become like the late stage Soviet Union.
I believe there is a good chance Craig Livingstone was the precursor of "Epstein did not kill himself."
I've been told by reliable sources that there are many many examples of Arkancide.
Yes, the Clinton's had those FBI files hidden in the White House. I'm sure they were used as leverage or black mail to enhance their power and control. Everyone remembers that both Bill and Hillary eluded suffering any consequences from their criminal conduct during their "service" to our country.
The chances are greater than zero that the FBI continues to collect dirt on everybody. How else can you explain the actions of Chief Justice Roberts?? John McCain was a bastard but his vote to keep Obamacare is fishy even for him.
They have dirt on everyone. That's how corruption works. Sadly we aren't much different from our enemies.
Maybe. I think his jealousy and vindictiveness was stronger than his concern for citizens.
Your post is reminding me of a very similar example from which we suffer today - Merrick Garland.
A piker when compared to Hoover.
As I remember, J Edgar Hoover was a pioneer for his time. He was reported to be going out on the town in a dress.
I'm sure he was just going undercover so it was in the line of duty. ha ha
Lol
'Scuze the snickering, please.
I have heard it suggested, back when it was in public consciousness, that Hoover was induced to turn over his files on congress to Mrs. Clinton, and her further pursuit of such powerful "secrets" (to advance her own political leverage) was rudely interrupted by another Federal body causing harm to Vincent Foster to demonstrate to her how easily the White House could be penetrated.

The communists, radical progressives, and Democrats - but I repeat myself - have undertaken a very successful program to destabilize The Greatest Nation That Ever Was, the centerpiece of which is flooding us with over ten million people who have no love for this country except for what it can provide. We're seeing where that leads in Britain, where bloody riots between the native-born and the illegals have reached a boiling point. I believe that we are not far behind, but the real villains are not the illegal aliens and their families. The enemy is, as always, the politicians who couldn't care a whit about human life and engineered the whole thing to gain power for themselves.
Keep your powder dry.
Hasn’t the enemy ALREADY taken the first shot? Steve Scalise, Trump?!
Unfortunately, the uninformed masses won’t see it that way. The shooter in Trump’s case was reported as a lone actor with “unknown motive”. In other words, just a crazy person.
I am convinced that Leftists are just waiting for the other side to fire the first shot so they can declare war and position themselves as righteous. I think that’s part of them revealing so much of themselves - to anger and provoke.
That was going to be my question too, Gail.
A small quibble--I would not call Obama "brilliant". He did not come up with that strategy-- it originated with the Frankfurt School of Marxism and Antonio Gramsci, which turned to division on the basis of Race to promote Marxism, instead of Class.
Obama was just a "pretty boy con man" who had deep identity issues and personal resentments, and put lipstick on the pig of Communism.
He's not in charge. He's the front man. There's a deep state cabal that pulls his strings.
He’s inherently lazy. We’re lucky in that.
Well stated. Agree.
Big D, that headline alone is worth the price of admission!
As the late, great Ronnie Van Zant sang:
“Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth…”
The clear thread running through the Watergate era up to the present day is the utter corruption of both the Deep State and their partners in the MSM. Because they have gotten away with it for so long, my guess is that they feel they are invulnerable. Clearly, the lawfare campaign against DJT has been fostered by the Deep State and given huge coverage by the media in order to hamper his re-election bid not the mention the infamous 51 intelligence officials who said the laptop was Russian misinformation. Given all that has been revealed about the Secret Service's performance in Butler PA, it seems plausible that they played a role in the assassination attempt on DJT's life. Remember Chuck Schumer's words about the Deep State and how they have "six ways to Sunday of getting back at you".
If the Trumpster did nothing else, he has exposed the nasty situation in Washington. Alot of us on this blog were not aware of how bad it is until The Donald came into the fight.
Every so often these videos pop up on YouTube and it’s a short snippet of a conversation with Nixon. I’ve watched most of them and I come away with a much deeper understanding of what Nixon was trying to do in his second therm and why. He was spot on as is Trump trying to reign in the government.
Both have some very common goals and we as a population have a very strong need in downsizing this government and bringing to justice some seriously bad characters
"President Trump can pull the plug on the intelligence community and the rest of a federal government that is too large, too expensive and too stupid to do anyone much good."
He could but they'll murder him first and they don't care if we know it. The question is, and always has been, "What are we going to do about it?"
Yes, yes, yes. That question keeps me up at night. I believe we will do nothing, and so do they. And since they CANNOT allow him to become president again, they are counting on that to save their hides.
I don't know-- there's an international awakening going on right now. The scales are falling from peoples eyes all over the place. This may be too big for any subversive group to stop.
They jumped the shark with this Trans weirdness and attacks on Israel for defending themselves. Doesn't help that many economies are in the shitter and people feel it. They're trying to blame Trump but it ain't working this time. Dems own it.
Shoot em. In the face.
I would have voted for Bill Gates. He's an evil, prissy schlep, a clone of George Soros that gets rich on the suffering of others. He's pissed off Elon Musk for shorting Tesla and separately my carnivore friends including Olympic athletes for promoting for profit cheap veggie proteins. I could go on but I need to calm down so I can lay back down. Thanks for listening. MAD DOG
Notice there are never any dems defecting to conservative ideals yet there are many repubs supporting dem initiatives? With debt rising faster than ever and no real effort to constrain it we can only reference the old parable...the love of money is the root of all evil. We're being fleeced to pay for all this corruption.
I was never aware of the political money laundering until Trump. Foreign aid gets washed back to politicos through book deals, speeches, stock tips and foundations. Both parties are at the trough so asking them to stop it isn't going to happen. There are no good solutions to the problem only pain.
Bravo, you hit the quote correct which most people misquote. But I think there are MANY former ppl on the left who are now coming over to the Right’s Light!
Eisenhower and McCarthy tried to warn people way back in the 50s but to no avail.Thank you Poca-Man for a reminder the cast may change but the plot line remains power and greed.Under ozero and bidet one gets a wake up call but too many push the snooze button creating the mess PDJT faced and faces yet again in his attempt to bring America back to sanity and morality.Lead on Mr. Surber and we can MAGA 2024 too big to rig.
Even with all of our problems most Americans are fat, dumb and happy. The Dems just staged a soft coup on their supposed leader and crickets. Pretty sure Nancy met with Joe, Jill and key staff to tell them what was going to happen to them and their families if they didn't fall in line. Hunter would overdose. Jill would be charged. Joe would be committed to an insane asylum. No 25th amendment for him. His choice to retire was pretty easy.
Tried to murder the Republican candidate, overthrew the Democrat candidate.
Your vote counts.
MY ASS
Spot on, by pretending a vote counts is to condone your consent to be governed. I withdrew my consent to be governed and left NY a year an half ago. I wont vote in NC because I do not consent to be governed anymore. I know what is right and what is wrong. The "law" has been destroyed by the corrupt and criminal bureaucracy so I no longer participate. I agree to be stolen from as I launder the worthless cash they print, because it's easier than fighting a never ending battle against stupidity. And I do what I want on the weekends when I'm not selling glass & aluminum. I have to start selling shirts that say "Go piss up a rope, you Leftist twit", but then I'd have to inventory them and take up my weekends throwing frisbees, ...sigh....priorities folks.
I agree but I still vote, I see it as signing a petition.
Getting my name in the proper column.
The "proper" column? "Choosing between the lesser of two evils, is still choosing evil" -Jerry Garcia
I used to vote until I witnessed 2020. I voted for Trump in 2016 & 2020, and Lee Zeldin in 20220, after voting for the Libertarians instead of Bush and McCain, I abstained from Romney and Obama, literally there was no choice, they were the same criminal.
But after 2020, '22 and COVID, there is no country left. They have already won. Now I'm just keeping my head down. Let Darwin sort this out with God's plan.
When the riots start here like in Europe, we will just show the world how to do riots like Americans, it'll be Yuge. Keep your powder dry, and don't shoot til you see the whites of their eyes.
So you are going to wait until they come for you ?
I suggest you vote for Mark Robinson.
no longer am I participating in the fraud that used to be a republic. the oligarchy has won. voting just allows them to justify taking more rights, so at some point, the shit hits the fan. Mark Robinson can't fix anything. Leftism is a mental disorder. Even if Mark wins, this state and the country are already so bass ackwards...waaay too many morons self inflicting a death of thousand cuts upon themselves. I'm just a spectator, enjoying the views.
I notice you use the term "deplorable" in your bio. Just a coincidence I'm sure. Suit yourself. Sit it out, you just THINK you aren't voting.
You used the term "fat, dumb, and happy". Back in the mid 60's, my World History teacher, Harold Burgard, always used that term to describe how most people went through life. A corollary would be "bread and circuses". I am always amazed how totally ignorant most Americans are about how Washington D.C. works. And especially how it works against them and for the donor class. Congressman John Breaux of Louisiana was purported to say, "My vote cannot be bought, but it can be rented." That pretty well sums it up.
I understand Pelousi promised bidet a spot on Mt.Rushmore.
What she probably meant to say was that if Joe left quietly, he could be on Mt. Rushmore, but if he decided to keeping run his campaign, he would be under it.
It has been said that people hate to be informed. "Rather, people need to be amused, shocked, or angered. Well, that's old school thinking. Today we are being lied to, stolen from, and treated like sheep. Kinda reminds me of two fellows talking. The first says, "Neither a beggar nor borrower be." - William Shakespeare." The second man replies , "Fuck you." - Tennessee Williams.
Very timely as the current DC junta just shoveled out $2 million between the execrable Strzok and Page when they should have gotten life sentences for their criminal misconduct that is NKVD degrees worse than the Watergate burglary (which was a common practice of the Democrats like LBJ who loved dirt on their opponents as much as their bitter hold on power).
I voted for McGovern also. I was very interested in the whole Watergate story, and was sure Nixon was a bad man. I try to remember my naïveté when I get disgusted with young adults today.
I did NOT vote for McGovern but at the time I was too dumb to get the whole picture, was back at school with husband getting a GI degree and young children, who were my focus. It's taken years to wise up, sadly. Young people don't really comprehend much, it takes time. We watched Water gate on black and white tv wondering what it was really all about.
The final peices of the puzzle only came out with the release if some new documents a couple years ago. I never belived Nixon was guilty, and read probably 15 books on the subject.
Finally in 2021 Geoff Shepard published The Nixon Conspiracy.
My first presidential vote was in 1972 for Nixon. I was 18 and in college. I don’t remember why I voted for him other than that my parents were voting for him and I was not the rebelious sort of teenager.
My years with three toddlers are a blur. We also had a little black and white tv, with an antenna.
I was at NYU for that campaign and both candidates came to speak. Nixon seemed on the ball, McGovern was wishy-washy and unconvincing. I then voted for Nixon.
“Russiagate” was very much “Watergate” Redux, just dressed up in a different package, with the exception that Russiagate was patently bogus from the get go. It was helpful though, to those who cared to pay attention, to exposing a near whole of our own US federal government effort to unseat the duly elected President.
The Watergate episode, however, at least was based upon an actual crime. To this day I still have so many unanswered questions about it, either because they’ve never been answered or I am simply ignorant of them. One of those questions is, what was the point of the break-in to begin with? I’ve heard many answers but they all seem to fall flat to one degree or another. I’ve always felt the whole idea of the break-in itself was a set-up. I confess to being woefully ignorant of much surrounding the whole affair, although I listened to the Hearings everyday back then. But, while so much of what was actually happening went way over my head at the time, I’ve never gotten over the distinct feeling that the actual truth never made it to the light of day, right up to this day.
What is plausible though in your mind? What if the point was, to get caught, so there would be a cover up to overthrow Nixon? Hmmm. Do you doubt they aren't that evil?
Hah! Always So many moving parts in the criminal enterprise known as our Federal Govt.
