Nixon was a liberal president. He opened relations with Red China, gave us the EPA, OSHA, the Endangered Species Act, imposed wage and price controls along with proposing your minimum living wage. Nixon was all for Affirmative Action and federal funding for education among other things.
All stuff no Republican would even think of today. Yet, we call Nixon a conservative. Without Watergate, I wonder how history would look at Nixon.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
I'm having a little trouble thinking stupid tonight .... can I get a life line phone call?
Sure... call BR-549, I'll be waiting.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller
The Constitution states, "...shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." It is left to the house to define high crimes and what misdemeanors are. In theory the house could consider spitting on the sidewalk a misdemeanor. But whatever the charge, it will be some high-falutin sounding very official charge like violating the Constitution or something like that. How about issuing unconstitutional mandates?
I think you’re looking for a valid, reasonable cause or reason for impeachment of Biden from a Republican controlled house. Do you really expect that? What I’m predicting is the reason, the charge will be very formal and official, sounding very serious, but the real reason will be payback for impeaching Trump twice regardless of whatever the charge states.
It is entirely up to the House of Representatives to define and determine exactly what an impeachable offense is.

yeah ... i suspect Republicans will win both chambers. Imagine a world in which Trump is pulling the strings, not to get necessary legislation through congress, but to seek revenge against this who oppose him. The House will be tied up in unending hearings about the treasonous Satanic Democrats, and the Senate will have to acquiesce to placate Trump. Pres BIden will veto everything including proclamations naming new PO's. I used to like the circus but find them tedious now.
If there were any clues when a society or culture is in decline, we will find them all around us. Imagine, birth to extinction in less than 300 years. What a commentary we will leave the Founders ... couldn't get people to wear a mask .... and Democracy died, thrashing about as if it means something ... whimpering because no one cares, or is oblivious
Prepare your epitaph for America now while you still have the time to think, and not be rushed in the near future into typing something inane
I’m sorry… isn’t that what we were just treated to over the previous 4 years?
Kind of a tell?
To think of how Dem Corp could have called him on his campaign trail promises and crafted ‘big beautiful healthcare for everybody’ or ‘bringing all the jobs back’ or any of the other campaign planks he swiped from Dems and failed to deliver.
Or Emoluments…
Naw, chasing spook stories. Obfusticating party election failures and published emails.
Worked though, why shouldn’t your loyal opposition follow suit, Stir up the rubes, distract from the ripoff.
Let's see .... abuse of office and inciting an insurrection .... and now unbeknownst to them then .... conspiracy to overthrow the government .... Republicans protected Trump from real charges, so I would presume Democrats would protect Pres Biden from fake charges.
It has already been floated they would charge him with treason for Afghanistan withdrawal. But I rather suspect they will charge him with Hunter Biden's "crimes" of getting a job in a Ukrainian gas company. These folks are so ignorant and dumb they don't recognize just how idiotic they are. Just like their base.
Now as a caveat: should Pres Biden do anything resembling what Trump did, I would vote to impeach him.
ignorance is the enemy without equality there is no liberty America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
You believe criminals should not be investigated or even bothered, especially if they are politicians or to type it another way, if you are elected you are above the law. Since the public should have some trust in their elected officials, should those officials break the law, they should be prosecuted, even if politicians.
So if you got a call on the intelligence tip line which possibly implicated a political candidate, you would immediately throw it in bin 13, even if there were national security implications. Kewl .... I don't want you running the FBI in fact I wouldn't want you taking complaints from the kiddie playground.
My loyalty lies with America, not any political party.

Uh huh… bout that call. Looks like it was from the HRC camp. The Steele dossier was nonsense as was most of the other allegations.
Criminality? I would love to see a president prosecuted. Especially as it relates to war crimes. Of course your brand could have always gone after emoluments. Funny that. Something Trump was so vulnerable to was never perused by Dem Corp. Remember Walter Shaun, US ethics chief, resigning from his job in 2017 on account of no one taking it seriously anymore?
I’m sure there’s nothing odd with having one of the highest elected officials son given a board seat on a Ukrainian gas company right after being tossed out of the military for having to much of a good time. Sounds legit. Had it been Uday or Kusay Trump, I’m sure it would have been a ‘nothingburger’ by Blueanon.
So odd that. Big fat slow motion pumpkin for team Dem to swing at. But naw. Weren’t gunna touch graft and corruption where it existed. You all went into overdrive promoting Russophobia. Heck, Dem Corp needed Trump to run against and win in 2020. Barely. Like they thought they would in 2016 using the same play.
Flag waving aside, it has been an education seeing how quickly liberals have become authoritarian hysterics when there perceived rightful reality doesn’t come to pass. Mainly, their being in charge because they’re the qualified class.
Not that they do anything, it’s enough to know they want to. They have the good intentions and interest for Murica. They’re the true patriots in they’re story, fighting the forces of evil.
Yep, I always thought Nixon to be a bit odd. Much of what he was suggesting the Republicans weren't for, even then. He, not unlike some other presidents, got to feeling as if he could do anything and get away with it. (that's really the only thing that might explain some of the stupids he got involved in)
I also, pretty much, agree with you on the next election. The fault is, obviously, that the Dems have absolutely no interest in winning! They love running their mouths as long as its not gonna upset anybody. I guess they all just want to be loved (I think that's how it goes).
Then, again, perhaps they might wake up and understand that the Repubicans, every day, lay into them. The dems currently retaliate by silence and a little smile that tells us all that they understand what is going on but refuse to behave even slightly like that.
