As with EVERYTHING now, the world is not, and was not even then, what we thought it was.

“ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN is complete fiction. Throw everything you know about Watergate away. If anyone was inspired to get into journalism by Woodward & Bernstein, you were duped. All of the revelations here were mind blowing.”
Et Tu Bernstein . Et Tu Woodward
Two takeaways. First, something I posted about some time ago(and PD totally agreed with me). The Founders(or whoever determined) that the Justice Dept. and Attorney General should be part of the Administration, made the biggest mistake one could possibly make. How could you set up a system with three equal branches and checks and balances and make the Executive branch in charge of investigating and prosecuting laws.? As I posted, it obviously should be under the Judiciary and Supreme Court. The other two branches are political by nature. The Judiciary is set up to minimalize politics. They did a fantastic job with almost everything, but got this one woefully wrong. The second takeaway, which I admit I thought Nixon did the right thing at the time, for the benefit of the nation, but now realize was a mistake, was not challenging the 1960 election. You can’t accept cheating ever! Especially from a party that has proven it will do whatever to steal and hold onto power. Once you let them get away with it, the country and the political system is lost and that is how the deep state/IC has become so entrenched. The Dem party has to be completely dismantled and legally outlawed from existence. Let those who believe in progressive, liberal, crazy ideas, form a new party. This one has proven over the life of it’s existence to be traitors to the US and the Constitution. It must not be allowed to exist in it’s present format.
