It’s free, right? How much are the certificates?
How many assholes we got on this plane?
Nah, you earned that label by supporting one. Thinking that clown was responsible for what you claim is asinine.
Also: way to not show up with any evidence, and not refute my valid points.
You support a crook and liar. And you are a liar.
Edit2: and your way is how nazis talk. The frivolous bad faith arguments with no evidence, all B.S., supporting authoritarians and sowing division, all while claiming the high ground.
And lastly: I’m not your bud, guy.
In this regard, I agree, he was very progressive for GOP strategy. Half a Gerald Ford and one Jimmy Carter later and people were ready for 3 more terms of it. The stain of Nixon’s administration washed out rather quickly. His tactics and students live on.
You’re doing it again. Those quotes are for quoting. Paraphrase, summarize and critique UNDER the quote.
You’re really gonna claim desegregation for the POTUS who signed the Controlled Substances Act after ignoring the advice of his own commission whose report recommended legalization? That racist P.O.S.? Yeah, he really ‘desegregated’ all those black men into prison, didnt he?
Also, your earlier point about other administrations being unable to overturn his racist legislation, which is responsible for a disproportionate amount of minorites incarcerated, resulting in continued growth of the prison population largely by non-violent drug convictions proves MY POINT. Nixon’s evil nazi spirit is still with us to this day. It is evident in the prisons, in the jails, in our justice system, in the DEA, in this weird quasi system for cannabis workers who can’t bank like other farmers. Fuck Richard Nixon and all his ilk.
You wave the Clean Water Act around like it absolves him of his many other crimes. As if he wrote it. As if he wasn’t a huge pain in the ass for the actual authors who wanted an even better amendment to the FWPCA but couldn’t get it because Nixon vetoed them. As if he signed it for any reason other than to garner votes from the public who were at the time rightfully pissed off about the quality of water in the country. If he was actually the progressive environmentalist you paint him to be, he would have pushed for that legislation BEFORE the Cuyahoga caught fire for the 3rd time. But he didn’t. Because he was a P.O.S. who only cared about himself and power.
Cite your sources for the rest of your B.S. claims. I don’t have the time to go hunting down all your goose chase whataboutisms. I brought my facts. Where are yours? You made the outrageous claim that Nixon was the “most progressive president in history” not me. Burden of proof tossed upon the believer. Put up or shut up. I’ve made some of my points that he was anything but progressive, and there is plenty more where that came from for this president.
Your uncited claims do not reflect the reality of history. So ‘progressive’ he had to be the first to resign. What was that for again? Oh that’s right.

One of the most progressive presidents of all time.
Hyperbolic nazi.
Like Nixon wasn’t a sexual predator. Like you care about inmates or the wrongly incarcerated. As if you care about minorities.
You put words in my mouth like you breathe and lie.
Nixon was not progressive for anyone’s day. He was the Trump of his day. Why else would Paul Manafort work for both of them?
Did Carter have Henry fucking Kissinger as his advisor and confidant?
Wake up and smell what you shovel.
Edit: almost forgot your double down on dog whistle homophobia. It’s abundantly clear you own nothing with a rainbow on it.
Conveniently left out that “progressive” Controlled Substances Act that has been so helpful for all those pesky minorities that wouldn’t vote for him.
Compare Nixon to either Democrat that came before or after him.
He wasn’t progressive for his time. The Overton Window has shifted so far to the right, Nixon now appears less than conservative (to some).
Also, shiny prepared statements mean less to me than what someone says behind closed doors to their friends and allies.
If he gets shot, it's too damn bad.

Screw State! State's always on the side of the blacks. The hell with them!

The press is the enemy. The press is the enemy. The press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.

This was the best quality clip I could find, my apologies.
Ahhhh, so that’s where the parking lot kids ended up working.

Now I’m curious. How does parking like this go over in say, Juarez or Mexico City?
