  • Thought the internet needed a better copy of this quote from the 1977 Nixon-Frost interviews. We've kept the video rolling after the quote for you to see the rest of Nixon's argument defending his statement.
    Interesting to see how even in pre-internet 1977, Nixon eventually resorts to the Hitler meme.

      @@alonkatz4633 It doesn't matter, the actual crime of breaking into your political opponents offices was never punished, and never discouraged. Everyone involved is still actively in politics (if alive). Nixon died free, no criminal record, and no reason to regret anything. His cronies sure don't.

      @@ajrollo1437 His cronies did get punished, and some went to prison. Nixon himself was investigated (and intervened in his own investigation several times as president), but was pardoned by president Ford. Needless to say, this move likely cost Ford the 1976 election.

      Don’t forget Obama offing that 16-year-old American-born citizen in Yemen , who was completely innocent from any wrongdoing.
      Obama called his demise “collateral damage”.
      So I call it the “Obama Doctrine”.

      Now, the Supreme Court's literal opinion, and per the comment above you, that this is "TDS" - they'll all be sorry, eventually, to see it in action, but by then it'll be too late. Just like with Iraq, where most of them were saying anyone who was against it and said it would be a disaster, were "with the terrorists", only to pretend they were against it the whole time (this includes Trump himself of course).

      George Washington doctrine. Any reasonable person would expect the haphazard withdrawal from Afghanistan would result in the deaths ofAmerican servicemen. Should Joe Biden stand trial for 16 counts of involuntary manslaughter? Same as a drunk driver doesn’t intend to kill someone but knows his actions will likely result in death.

    at the time of this original broadcast a vast majority of Americans did not agree with his sentiments. Now, 50% of the country agrees with his sentiments, but ONLY as long as the president making the judgment call is Trump. In other words, not a Nation of Laws, but a Nation of men. How far we have fallen.
