    Nixon colluded with South Vietnam to sabotage the Vietnam peace talk in 1968 to ensure his election.

    “The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the tools to its own destruction,” Goebbels said as the Nazis rose to power—one of those quotes that sound apocryphal but are not.​

        I can’t wait for someone in 2044 to admit the Cheney/GW administration misled the US into war.. Boy wouldn’t that be an eye opener.

          If you've listened to/read any of the reporting on the 20th anniversary of it, plenty are saying exactly that.

            I think LeeG was being 'ironical'.....
            There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....

                It is increasingly difficult to detect irony in today's ironic reality.

                  My bad. I must admit I was surprised, so I shoulda figured. It is difficult to tell sometimes.

                    My bad, I have conversations in my head before I talk to people.

                        Hmm, while I am about the topics of stolen elections, I should include 1876 and the installation of RetherFraud B. Hays . . .

                        which crushed democracy for a century and let loose political terror on a massive scale.

                            I always suspected this was the case, the hostage released on the inauguration day was just a little too neat and tidy. Glad to have it out in the open and confirmed now, absolutely treasonous and despicable Making those poor hostages remain in captivity for all the extra time just for a political end: that's my definition of evil.
