Nixon Resigns - 52 Years Ago

Fifty-two years ago today, Richard Nixon resigned as president of the United States. Gerald Ford became president.

Richard Nixon made history, being the first president to resign from office. Although he resisted resignation as long as he possibly could, Nixon eventually walked away from the presidency with some decency.
By contrast, Biden and his regime left the White House disgraced in utter shame, without a shred of decency and honor.
Kamala Harris and Biden's cabinet should have done the right thing for the American people and made history by utilizing the 25th amendment to get Biden, swamped in dementia, to resign.
The Watergate cover-up paled in comparison to Kamala's cover-up of Biden's condition and his hoax of a presidency.
All the conspirators, including Jill Biden, must be held accountable for their involvement in this historic scheme.

Ketanji Brown Jackson and Nixon's Tariffs

Kentaji Brown Jackson is embarrassing herself once again in oral arguments:

“President Nixon’s 1971 tariffs…”

“That wasn’t a tariff!…”

“I’m referring to Nixon’s 1971 tariffs”

Richard Holbrooke: Biden Doesn't Care About Afghan Women and Girls

Biden to Richard Holbrooke in 2010 when warned about the consequences of abandoning Afghanistan in haste:

"Fuck that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it."

Biden won't. His party is exiting him.https://t.co/NvpgWQXI66
— Michael P Pregent (@MPPregent) August 18, 2021

From Politico:

While Biden championed nation building in Afghanistan in the early years of the war, he had turned against it long ago, as George Packer reported in The Atlantic earlier this year:
“By the time Biden became vice president in 2009, the disastrous war in Iraq, the endemic corruption of the Afghan government, and the return of the Taliban had made him a deep skeptic of the American commitment. He became the Obama administration’s strongest voice for getting out of Afghanistan. In 2010, he told RICHARD HOLBROOKE, Obama’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, that the U.S. had to leave Afghanistan regardless of the consequences for women or anyone else. According to Holbrooke’s diary, when he asked about American obligations to Afghans like the girl in the Kabul school, Biden replied with a history lesson from the final U.S. withdrawal from Southeast Asia in 1973: ‘Fuck that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.’”

Next time you hear Biden claim his mission is to restore the soul of the nation, remember this.
Know what a cruel, uncaring, soulless, horrible man Biden is.

Full Release of Unedited Biden ABC Interview

Sen. Bill Hagerty Calls For Full Release Of Biden’s Shaky ABC News Interview https://t.co/HDBH5ufBOi
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) August 19, 2021

From The Federalist:

Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty called for transparency from ABC News, demanding they release the full conversation between President Joe Biden and interviewer George Stephanopoulos.
On Thursday’s episode of “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” host Hugh Hewitt noted that “ABC has an unedited tape” and released a transcript of the edited interview but that he didn’t think that was enough to placate the American people’s doubts about Biden’s ability to govern.
“Long ago, Richard Nixon offered a transcript of the Watergate tapes to John Stennis. That was immediately and roundly rejected. Does ABC owe the American people an unedited view of the President since we have nothing else?” Hewitt asked.
“Well, I’m certain the American public would prefer this. And I think that your raising it, talking about it right now, is a great way to put pressure on the situation, to actually see the raw footage,” Hagerty said.
Hagerty said he has “doubts” that Biden is fit to address this unfolding situation after he ignored it for days.

I want to see the full interview, without all the Biden-friendly edits.

You know, they think Obama, who like every other pussy Democrat has never said a single word about gun control, but they are very sure that he and his Negro army are coming after their guns.
