I don't live far from Ashburn. But I find it especially entertaining. Trumpy is the worst US president in history, but i am confident he is fully capable of getting worse. Fat Nixon is funny. But as horrid as Tricky Dick was, he was a rank amateur compared to Trumpy.

JD Vance will be much worse than Trump could ever imagine being.

Having read multiple posts since the Friday Fiasco, I’d say yes. Many of the commenters were calling him 48, praising his performance, etc. And several of the posts I’ve read were on Linked In, made by respected business people. WTF is going on?

That's not a reason to keep Trump around. Vance's charisma is zero. He won't be able to fool MAGA as well as Trump could.

Cheetolini goes beyond the horizon of Nixon’s dreams.

That is because he didn't follow Reagan, who paved the way for cheetolini.

I like the nickname Cheetolini. It embodies so many things. I just wished it didn't happened to be Italian but history is what it was.

The “lini” is a nod to Mussolini, an inspirational persona to Adolf. Mussolini’s end was humiliatively epic.

I'm so happy to see people starting to wake up and fight back.

It is great to see people fighting back, but we need the Republican party to wake up and stop kissing the ring. They know very well that the orange felon is a traitor, they just need to grow a spine and impeach him. Their fear of the felon shouldn't be a factor, apparently they do not understand that the people will vote them out.

The Republicans have all received threats from Trump if they step out of line that's how he got the house Republicans who were balking on the budget blueprint vote to get in line and vote to pass it. he called and threatened them. (Death threats) I hope someone recorded it.

The threats are not from trump.The threats are from musk. .He has threatened every republican with a million dollar primary, if they don't do everything and anything trump wants. As per a retired congressman.

Dems AND Guests tonight should all wear Ukrainian colors to the SOTU. Lapel pinning, pocket squares, ties, scarves, etc. Don’t let cameras pan the audience without some defiant colors showing. Psyop Trump.

We are amazed but not amused

By all the things you say that you'll do

Though, much concerned but not involved

With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song

Tellin' how you are gonna change right from wrong

'Cause if you really want to hear our views

You haven't done nothin'

It's not too cool to be ridiculed

But you brought this upon yourself

The world is trying to pacify

We want the truth and nothing else, yeah

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song

Tellin' how you are gonna change right from wrong

'Cause if you really want to hear our views

You haven't done nothin'

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare

That's becomin' real life, mmm

But when misled, who knows a person's mind

Can turn as cold as ice, mm-hmm

Why do you keep on making us hear your song?

Tellin' us how you are changin' right from wrong

'Cause if you really want to hear our views

You haven't done nothin'

Thanks, James. I can't get "4 Dead in Ohio" out of my head. (And that's a good thing.)

Yes, I fear a return to the day in 1970 when the Ohio National Guard shot and killed students on the campus of Kent State. They, like students elsewhere, were protesting the Vietnam War. It was jaw-dropping and horrific. And, occurred during Nixon’s first term in office.

If it weren't for Kathleen Graham the former publisher of WaPo, Nixon woulda got away with murder.

Back then, we had a functioning 4th estate and the concept of shame was still effective in polite society.

Thanks Nick.

I was almost 11 and lived 3 hrs from this murder scene. How Governor James Rhodes and Kent mayor Leroy Satrom got away with ordering Ohio National Guard with taking the lives of 4 UNARMED students ☮️ Allison Krause - 19

☮️ Jeffrey Miller - 20

☮️ Sandra Lee Scheuer - 20

☮️ William Scheoeder - 19

and injuring 9 (one permanently paralyzed)!

Almost 55 years later and I will NEVER accept this.

These members of the Ohio National Guard were all charged with DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW (remember this) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_(law)#Deprivation_of_rights_under_color_of_law

ALL were found NOT GUILTY

• Lawrence Shafer

• James McGee

• James Pierce

• William Perkins

• Ralph Zoller

• Barry Morris

• Leon H. Smith

• Matthew J. McManus

We must NEVER allow this AGAIN. NOT in AMERICA. #RESIST ✊️✌️

Thanks. I was about the same age but a lot further away only to be only to be brought right there with the iconic image on the front page of the Miami herald followed by “Ohio” by CSNY.

If that were to happen today, the National guardsman would be celebrated as heroes amongst today's GOP. They should rename their party to NBK

I would have just named it Fat Traitor. Nixon was indeed a crook, and an appalling president, but he didn't systematically try to dismantle the US government. We also had a functioning Congress then.

And a functioning 4th Estate (see Kathleen Graham). Also, shame was still an effective behavior modification device.
