Thank you, Dr Richardson. I'd shed a tear for these "poor misguided souls" if I wasn't laughing so hard at their ridiculous self pity. It really is too bad that Gerald Ford set the precedence for eternal innocence of criminal liability by pardoning Nixon. Nixon did indeed set the stage for the trumpster and his deplorables.

Yes, I thought evil was vanquished when Nixon resigned. I thought at the time that his "pardon" set a terrible precedent, but had no sense of just how bad. Republicans, it turned out, took entirely the wrong lesson from Nixon (and Joe McCarthy) and swore off "decency" entirely.
Plus, Nixon was at least protective of "Nature", while Reagan despised it. Nixon lied, but Reagan and his sponsors turned lying with Orwellian Big Lies into a core "Republican" strategy. The Trump mantra "You've got to be aggressive. You've got to push back hard. You've got to deny anything that's said about you. Never admit."
Yep, his quote from "Sun" on September 12, 2005. Never admit it if you do something wrong. And he never has, despite being the "wrongest" arse on the planet.

Yep, he sure did. I was a dumbass who thought that repubs had learned their lesson. I an so ashamed of my stupidity.
Celebrate learning. XA
Sometimes my skull is thicker than it should be.
