Richard Nixon was an evil man -- evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency. Nobody trusted him -- except maybe the Stalinist Chinese, and honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship.<br /><br />Here is a link to some of Thompson's quotes. Quoting him is a public service.<br />The same goes for Sid.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />http://www.great-quotes.com/quotes/author/Hunter+S./Thompson<br /><br />EugeneInSanDiegoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-46992282570881051592017-10-08T10:12:07.502-07:002017-10-08T10:12:07.502-07:00Hey Eugene- Great to see someone quoting the immor...Hey Eugene- Great to see someone quoting the immortal H.S. Thompson. "Gonzo" is sorely missed. We all need to remember Fear and Loathing.

Thompson.<br /><br />"He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. He was an evil man — evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it."<br /><br />He was talking about Nixon of course, but his words perfectly describe the disgusting, lecherous denizen, presently squatting in the seat of power, as though he were presciently looking at him - with one exception - Nixon was not a sexual predator.<br /><br />Thompson also said that given the choice of voting for Bush/Cheney, in place of Nixon/Agnew, he would have happily done so.<br /><br />Given the disgust I felt for that sleazy duo, I am surprised to find that, I too, would now choose them over groping Trump and his loathsome appendage…I refer to Pence, of course!<br /><br />God help us! I wonder, can our country survive the destruction now raining down on us.<br /><br />I can only find some solace in the words I began with here “…there is no new thing under the sun”; and hope that, through some manifestation of a merciful deity, we will once again be spared to try to make and live in a world that makes sense.<br /><br />EugeneInSanDiego<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-30194306979476078882017-10-06T12:52:38.080-07:002017-10-06T12:52:38.080-07:00Article 2, section 4 of the Constitution gives cau...Article 2, section 4 of the Constitution gives cause for impeachment for misdeameanors, i.e. willfully avoiding tax liability and issuing false statements, i.e. LIES. This presidunce is so far out in left field, he can't even come close to being a patriot. <br /><br />Article 3, section 3 gives the statement, 'adhering to the enemies of states', as just cause for impeachment of any member of the executive branch. i.e. Aiding and abetting an election based on fraud by an enemy of the states. Thus: this dunce of a nominee for president, asked Russia to help find fault with Hillary, thus he is an enemy of the states, not just Hillary, thus impeachable (If Congress had cojones).<br /><br />Not a president by any definition except for being the biggest B.S.er ever, just agreeing...<br /><br />Again, Sid, you have connected so many of the facts in such a timely manner to display the moronic BS that is being broadcast by this dunce of a president while giving respect to the victims of so much devastation in Puerto Rico and Nevada.
