Well, he did go to Beijing. Donaldo delenda est

He also created the EPA.

He signed the authorization for the EPA, but it’s not as if it was his idea. There was an environmental movement building through the 1960s that led to the EPA’s founding. The NEPA was already in development around the time Nixon took office.

Haha I rode my bicycle to High School on the first Earth Day! I coaxed my beautiful neighbor to ride too, & we got there early! Ah, memories! Donaldo delenda est

You're my age or older.

Probably! I can't leap over a fence or run down a rabbit like I used to. Growing up N. of Dallas probably aged me some too. Once upon a time?

I was 25 when Reagan fired PATCO. I didn't know shit, but i knew the world had changed forever.

First shot across the bow for unions. I am retired IBEW & have nothing but good to say abt it. Ronny Raygun was a menace & slept thru cabinet meetings as well. If only tRump could OD on those disgusting, sugary praises his cabinet of fools lavish on him. Here's hopin' Donaldo delenda est

So was my Dad.

The point here is not to rehabilitate Nixon but to highlight the fact that Trump is in a class, or lack thereof, of his own.

Absolutely; Besides I don't think Nixon cares anymore. Oh & tRump who is he, again? Gee, I was going to come up wi a clever remark abt TACO & his golden toilet, but meh. We will be happy to forget him, when he is gone. Donaldo delenda est

And I would counter that no, he's not. If Nixon had had the advantages Trump does: a GOP Congress, so much money it makes the secret funds Nixon had look like less than pocket change, a Supreme Court in his pocket, he would have been just as bad, because he was pretty bad even then.

I disagree. He was power-hungry, but not a textbook sociopath. He was capable of shame and didn't even try to fight impeachment. He resigned. Trump truly believes he is a God and would never do that.

Future scene in Hell, showdown between Trump & Nixon. Nixon: "I was badder on my best day than you ever were!" Trump: Oh yeah? Oh yeah man? Well I killed a lot more ppl doesn't that count? & I don't even care. So there! Nixon retreats in disgust & is airlifted out. Donaldo delenda est

And he would have called any other President who did that a communist.

Haha now that's give & take, you guys are great! After a long hard day I remember falling asleep watching the Watergate hearings; Sen. Ervin what dry sense of humor. Not too long after, during Ford's admin, my GF said hey there's this guy named Jimmy Carter running. Ha, great memories

Those were different times. We actually had two other functioning branches of government willing to put partisanship aside. The coronation of Ronald I was the beginning of the end.

Ehhh, no.
