    More than him – our nations people.

    When Nixon fucked around he stepped down. In doing so, he said to the American people “what I did was wrong and I recognize that.”

    Trump won’t admit wrongdoing. He’s been indicted on fucking 90 counts. Until he is actually punished, his followers will only see that they can try to do the same.

    Society needs to renounce him, fully, or were fucked.

        Same could have been said if we had actually nailed Ronnie Raygun to the wall for Iran/Contra. Instead, we let him coast. And that was even worse than Watergate.

        Republicans have been skating for years and years for their crimes.

        Ford pardoned Nixon, so there wasn’t much that could be done to punish Nixon after that. They couldn’t even go after him at the state level since the Watergate scandal happened in DC. Pardoning Nixon was a major part of why Ford didn’t get reelected, although there were several other major reasons for that.
