JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

SNL made him a laughing stock and that ended any political career he thought he’d have. He was dumb to do it and they portrayed him as dumb.

You have to give them credit for playing the long game. The Heritage Society began with the fall of Nixon and with it the erosion of American ethics. It's filtered both political parties that demonized/ridiculed Bernie Sanders when he speaks truth to power.

No greater argument for putting the current Executive overcrimers under the jail. Forever. Ford should’ve never pardoned Nixon. Davis and Lee should’ve been hung on the Capitol steps.

Not to mention how relaxed this MF is when making jocular commentary re one of the worst political crimes against America’s citizenry in history. But then of course, he’s in the midst of doing crimes now.

Do you mean to tell me the VP doesn’t understand that Nixon ran a slush fund to run illegal crimes against America to steal an election and be reelected? Do you mean to tell me he is that ignorant of history and considers Nixon to be a “character”? He is a disgraceful person unworthy of any office.

Like with all right wing stuff there are so many levels of wrong it’s hard to respond to in a coherent way. The first watergate news story sank like a stone. It took a while before it gathered big media momentum as a scandal.

After the Watergate scandal broke, Nixon started working with right-wing billionaires to control US media properties. We will never secure US democracy unless we eliminate billionaire control over America's news and social media.

The crazy part is that it wouldn't bring down a presidency now! The crazy part is that media would give it only 12 hours! The craziest part is that J(just) D(umb) vance thinks any of this is funny!! #vancePOS He's committed unfathomable atrocities! #Impeach #Imprison #Impale

"The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic". What Nixon did was a tragedy at a time when wrong was wrong. Trump's numerous obscene broad daylight crimes and corruption are a statistic. "Flooding the zone" worked.

It has nothing to do with getting the truth out anymore. This regime isn't even HIDING its illegal activities anymore; they're doing it openly. The current problem is that no one with the legal ability to stop them is doing so, because all of those previous safeguards are now PART of this regime.

JD’s sloppy casual attitude towards serious subjects is a major flaw. He thinks that joking like his demented vile boss will get him laughs, claps, & a leg up on his political career. He is speeding down a slippery slope. I’m looking forward to the final fall & crash.

Yes JD Dumbass, you are correct, in comparison to today's corrupt fascist criminal regime, the Watergate scandal does seem rather tame.

He’s attempting to normalize corruption. And I understand why. To Republicans, corruption actually is completely normal. And JV is a fucking crook just like the fat orange dipshit.

Ole couch fucking PoG @jd-vance-1.bsky.social should maybe consider that his legacy will be so much worse for celebrating corruption, lies, and incompetence. Hey, little bitch boy bottom for Peter Thiel, we will remember. And we will remember you. And you don’t affect the narrative once youre gone

FUCKING WRONG!!! The fact that EVERYTHING that Trump does DOESN’T take down his presidency is crazy! What this useless fucker fails to mention is that if ANY Democratic President did 1/100 of what Trump has done, the GOP would be SCREAMING about it. But if Trump does it, it’s funny to them.

We need to DEFUND THEM! People have to change their federal witholding to $0 on paychecks and investments! Hit them in the wallet! Protests and rallies do little if anything to solve this! Stop sending them our tax dollars until they surrender! United We can 🛑the BLOAT(DJT)Biggest Liar Of All Time💩

Our mission has got to be to DEFUND THEM NOW! What if there are No midterms! He will stop at nothing to keep conning! Change your federal witholding to $0 on paychecks and investments! They can’t arrest US all! United We can 🛑the BLOAT(DJT)Biggest Liar Of All Time💩

Journalists doing journalism & uncovering the facts of a President's crimes is "the deep state taking down Richard Nixon." "It's note all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to (the corrupt pedophile trump)"

This is just appalling & very revealing about how members of government view executive abuse of power. Perhaps he forgot that President Nixon needed a pardon from his successor to end the criminal investigation into his abuse of government power for his personal political gain.

These mutha fakas are the “DEEP STATE”. It’s been about 8 years now since I started thinking “you’re really dumb” when some drops in a DEEP STATE reference. It’s like when I hear some actually say “WOKE” I used to think it was funny because those folks sounded stupid. Same with bieng mad at DEI.

People were so sensitive in the past. Remember that war against tyranny in 1776? So people paid a tax on tea, big deal. Bringing down a king is crazy. Remember that slavery thing? If it happened tomorrow, it would be like an exchange of stern letters. That it would cause a civil war is crazy.

JD I’m looking all around for this Nixon Renaissance. Haven’t found it yet. Somebody saying Trump makes you look good is not a renaissance. What people are seeing is that Ford pardoning Nixon was a tragic and probably very corrupt error. They don’t plan to let it happen again. Nota bene.

The one thing these crooks learned from Nixon was to deny everything and let Congress impeach. The Senate would never have convicted him, just like they wouldn't Trump.

I think Julius Caesar’s historical legacy is enjoying a renaissance. If crossing the Rubicon happened tomorrow, it’d be a 12-hour news story.

Yes he’s having a renaissance from the most corrupt administration in history and their cult members. The fact that Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is basically him admitting his boss and this administration does something 10 times more corrupt every week!

That is the reason behind the founding of Fox News. Nixon's aides and Roger Ailes wanted "their own" network to present the republican presidents in a favorable light so that another (republican) president would not be forced to resign.

And this kind of brain can pass right through Yale Law School. Scary. And says a lot about that institution’s standards.

What I observed with JD Vance made me reconsider my views avout ivy league universities. Never would have guessed that but nowadays I am proud that I did NOT study at Yale.

I'm amazed how many people think he genuinely believes a word he says. the fact that he graduated from Yale should be all the proof you need that he knows exactly what the truth is and he's lying because it gets him money and power.

It came before that. When Lincoln, basically, pardoned all those who committed sedition during the Civil War. These acts _cannot_ be pardonable offenses. That must be fixed in our Constitution

The Republican Party created an entire media ecosystem for the very purpose of never allowing Watergate to happen again. And by “Watergate” I mean specifically accountability for Republican criminals.

Nixon’s “rehabilitation” started when the U.S. gave him a state funeral in 1994. Then-President Bill Clinton attended, as did all former presidents alive at the time: Bush, Reagan, Carter & Ford. Clinton also spoke. The whole thing was disgusting!

He makes it clear who he is—an authoritarian politician who will look out for those he agrees with no matter what, and disregard the rest. Vote wisely.

So the ethical standards we held as a country in regard to our government are irrelevant in the wake of the most corrupt administration in US history. You are a massive part of the problem JD.

Watergate: - Heretofore the country’s biggest presidential scandal - Proved the importance of separation of powers - Led to laws limiting the powers of “an imperial presidency,” incl the PRA, counsel investigations of exec scandals, the Privacy Act, and limits to feds collecting info on Americans

He has a weird blend of self-confidence and suspicion that he's a dickhead, which comes out when he tries to make jokes. He does that big set up for "that sounds like JD Vance", then gets out as quickly as he can. Test of personal charisma detected! Abort! Abort!
