memba when 18 mins of watergate tape footage missing was a scandal that caused a president to resign in disgrace?



Remember when Obama did basically the same thing Nixon did?

Nixon was literally abusing the resources of the government to spy on his opponent during the presidential campaign. If anything, that's what happened to Trump during the 2016 campaign.

If we're being honest Nixon was about as mild of a scandal in the long run as we could imagine out of a president. Fast and Furious under Obama was far worse. Nixon got railroaded pretty hard for what is now standard operating procedure for political espionage.

Nixon's reputation as an insidious man without a moral compass really did him in. Watergate confirmed all the negative preconceptions people had of him. It probably helped that he was in his second term and thus a lame duck - made it easier for his party to throw him to the wolves.

The scandal that caused Nixon to resign was that he spied om his political rivals. The process was just his dirty methods being caught. The same attempt at a process by the democrats falls flat without any meat in the burger. All the tapes could be missing if they can't find actual substantive wrongdoing. And we've shifted the goalposts enough that Obama and Biden spying on Trump isn't supposed to be a scandal

the irony is that Nixon as a person was far better than most people in his era and had a great moral compass compared to most of the presidents we have. Jimmy Carter of course gets the Morality goat title for presidents, but Nixon wasn't bad at all. There's i believe a recording (or maybe i just read a transcript) or Nixon's speech to the white house staff on the day he was to resign that was powerful stuff and caused most of the people to cry. Its funny in the long run we have figures like Roger Stone that are all about transparency and then his idol is Nixon who's most known for his scandal, and even more ironically Stone led a raid on a voting center in the Gore-Bush election to make them by violent force stop counting votes, which almost certainly bought time for the SCOTUS to rule against the infamous hanging chad ballots, which eventually won Bush (unfairly in my opinion) to win.

Just a reminder, Trump has been to Epstein Island and Biden is a pedo.
That is all.

Just a million miles of circumstantial evidence combined with Trumps history and deductive reasoning skills.
It isn't rocket science.
He works for and with the enemy.
If he was legit, he never would have been on the ballet.
Sorry.
