    I wish we had politicians who weren’t cartoonishly evil and aware of it. Like, Nixon was not a good person, but at least his scandal was something he resigned over… You know?

    I don’t think anything could make DJT resign. He’s too much of a man-baby to allow it without a full blown tantrum and insurrection calling, probably.

      Thing is, El Taco is the result of a 50 year campaign to ensure that Watergate can never happen again. Which would not have even been an issue if Tricky Dick hadn’t become President by deliberately pandering to all the neo-Confederates who were butthurt that LBJ dared acknowledge that black people were actually human beings. So, y’know, he can still fuck right off.

        Oh, absolutely. I’d happily piss on his grave. Even then, he was a shithead who, at least, had to pretend to be decent. We don’t even have that anymore.
