Dear Keith, I would love to spend a day talking with you. On my part it would be more of the listening. You are so wise and informed. I had know idea why you were saying “ Stench Court “? So I searched . Now I know. Justice Sotomayor said it. I thought it was a done deal on Trump.With that said I believe the Stench Court will protect him…

I don’t remember why Nixon wasn’t charged with a crime ? Can’t remember. But I was so mad that he got all the former Presidential Perks right up to the day he died. And I think his wife after that still did. Perhaps maybe not “The Red Phone “ if you remember what they were ? I wonder if TFG has that perk as well ? Thank you.
Marcia If one screws up enough in life and lives long enough, he/she can give the impression of being wise. Look up ‘tontine,’ and perhaps. You’ll understand.
Being on Nixon’s EnemiesList, years later, when i had to make small talk with Julie Nixon Eisenhower, I had some difficulty.
After Nixon resigned to avoid Senate impeachment, he was liable to criminal prosecution. President Ford, to put an end to the Watergate calumny that had convulsed the country, issued a pardon to Nixon for whatever he had done.
At the time, I was furious that Nixon went scot free while his henchmen went to the slammer. Over time I grew to appreciate that Ford did what was necessary for our country, although it probably cost him the 1976 election. Later Ford was awarded a Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his gutsy pardon.
I believe that the ‘red phone’ was the prez’s phone for major crises, including nuclear. He had a guy with him at all times with the nuclear codes.
Some very close friends of ours, the husband, Chuck Colson was his uncle. Colson went to Prison for just a few months. Maybe I wasn’t making sense about the “ Red Phone “ ? I’m concerned that TFG has access now to what was called the Red Phone. It was for the ‘Former Presidents ‘ ?
MARCIA My understanding is that Tubby Trump has not been accorded security clearance by the Biden administration. If he has this ubiquitous ‘red phone,’ hopefully it has the number of Attorney General Garland, were he to decide to plead guilty to constitutional insurrection.
As for Chuck Colson, I recall he stating how glorious and mystifying it was to be in a president’s aura. It may have been him who was astonished that, as a former private in the Army, he would be saluted by White House Marines. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
When I was off on an emergency mission to eastern Congo in October, 1964, the commanding Marine colonel at the airport refused to provide this civilian K rations as I was going alone into rebel-infiltrated provinces. To break this standoff, I told him to call his commanding officer, the American ambassador, on his private phone at 3:00 a. M. And explain to him why his house guest (me) couldn’t get K rations. (I got them).
Earlier, going to Lodja, I had command over a C130 when it was on the ground. After a hairy first few hours, I could complete one final mission. The ambassador’s housekeeper had abandoned his hotel in Lodja in 1960. He desperately wanted his fancy meat cutter as as memory of pre-independence. Also, his wife was dying of cancer.
The captain of the C 130 was getting nervous about the unsettled situation on the ground—drunken Congolese soldiers. The destroyed UN plane with crew members still aboard. I affirmed that I was in command of the plane on the ground.
The captain seemed apoplectic, when the meat cutter arrived. Darn, he never saluted me.
Marcia I take that as a backhanded salute. I continue to be a warm-hearted pain in the ass. As my wife asks “What do you intend to be, if you ever grow up? Clap if you believe.
