Roger Stone and Ben Stein (two other Nixon fans).

We'd still be under British rule. There would be no America. Those assholes would have found some way to paint our founding fathers as deep state traitors.

From what, the constraints of the United States Constitution. He seems to be managing that just fine all on his own.

And if Nixon had such a tool (heh) at his disposal, he probably would have used it.

But should Fox even exist in this country? Hell no. Freedom of speech is one thing, but willfully deceiving the gullible public is quite another. It's one long infomercial for Republicans.

Too bad the slimeball Reagan did away with the Fairness Doctrine.

And you may know this but others might not, Roger Ailes actually pitched the idea of “GOP TV” to Nixon, an idea that would eventually come to fruition as FoxNews.

Like Cheney and Rumsfeld did, but I hadn't heard of Ailes' "GOP TV," mercifully.
It certainly exists now, in full bloom.

defending defending Cheeto is a one-way ticket to being a mocked for all eternity. Anonymous Republican voters can pretend they never liked Trump (much like they disowned Bush), but these dickheads will forever be known as Trump sycophants, and history will judge them harshly for it.

What shackles is he wearing?

the Trumpster has convinced himself (or had someone convince him) that Nixon was railroaded, strong-armed into resigning. This business with Geraldo telling Hannity basically that he can save The Donald fits perfectly. Add to that Roger Stone, Nixon's main fan-boy, whispering into the Trumpster's ear and we're looking at the perfect storm of defiance, arrogance and ignorance.

Should get very interesting.
