Trump’s Speech Had 1 Eerie Parallel To Nixon’s Final State Of The Union

President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday contained a callback to one delivered by President Richard Nixon when he was under investigation in the Watergate scandal.

“The time has come to bring that investigation and the other investigations of this matter to an end,” Nixon said on Jan. 30, 1974.

Trump on Tuesday also demanded an end to investigations against him and his administration.

“If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation,” Trump said. “It just doesn’t work that way.”

NowThis created a mashup of the two speeches:

Less than four months after Nixon’s demand, the House Judiciary Committee began hearings on articles of impeachment against Nixon.

By the end of July 1974, the committee approved the articles of impeachment by a vote of 27-11, with six Republicans joining all of the Democrats on the committee.

A full vote in the House never took place as Nixon announced his resignation on Aug. 8, 1974, effective at noon the following day.

Consider me the crow eater of the year if you're right and Trump is such an evil mastermind that he can convince his voting base that the answer to our problems is going to war with Mexico.

Right now I'm filing that under "Not gonna happen in a million years".

It is laughable and that is why Trump will not be impeached in the next two years: he can't commit an act big enough to get him removed from office fast. That is not because Trump is wise but because it is impossible to make a big and dumb enough mistake to get Congress to move forward in less than two years. Both the Vietnam and Iraq Wars had been run incompetently for many years before a majority in Congress got fed up with the President's stupidity. Congress does not do fast and furious reaction to events. But Trump does many laughable things that his voters can't understand are better jokes for TV comedians than they are policy.

She is delighted with four years of Trump shoving his head up the ass of every Trump voter, just as much as the Trump voters are, but Pelosi's reasons are different. And McConnell won't let a trial in the Senate end with Trump's conviction.

Donald Trump Cries ‘Presidential Harassment’ Over Upcoming Investigations

Nixon's greatest concern with the IRS audit and the JCT investigation was that fraud might be charged, thereby imposing a civil fraud penalty of 50 percent of the tax deficiency, increasing his chances for impeachment. Amazingly, fraud was not mentioned either by the IRS or by the committee report. However, the House Judiciary Committee, which was considering the impeachment of Nixon, stated that it might investigate the possibility of tax fraud.

By agreeing to pay $465,000, Nixon's wealth was reduced to half of the previous $988,522. One White House spokesman stated that Nixon was "almost totally wiped out" by the agreement (WSJ, Apr. 5, 1974). However, Nixon was fortunate to have had $433,000 in liquid assets to pay the tax deficiency.

My Jimmy's - huh? Who are my Jimmy's? Fallon? Kimmel maybe? Just guessing - don't watch them, from the little I've seen don't much care for either one's show or their "humor." You have a very simple way of looking at things. Maybe you meant "'jammies?"

Still... No Russia collusion though.

Remember we do have a boatload of posts here from the last two years we can refer to when you guys find yourself completely changing your tune about all of this a few months from now when the dust settles as a reminder of how you used to think before the media slowly changed focus.


Ask me how I know.

Better yet, I'll just tell you. I saw it all happen during the GWB administration already. Some of us have better memory than others though.


lol.... Christ.

Some of us here actually sung John McCain's praises and have said they long for the days of GWB. Too funny.
