Colbert is the best!
Very dark and depressing time in our history. Nixon is a shit stain on this nation that will only fade. What a legacy…
Too bad he didn’t have John Lithgow back on to read some Nixon papers ~ maybe even something from HS Thompson around the time of the impeachment.
except that compared to modern republicans…EPA, Clean Air Act, OSHA, National Environmental Policy Act, In addition He insisted that Congress broaden the U.S. Civil Rights Commission mandate to include sex discrimination and signed all civil rights legislation passed by Congress, including Title IX, which banned sexual discrimination in educational benefits. Most important, the Nixon administration expanded enforcement of affirmative action. He also supported the Constitutional amendment lowering the voting age to 18.
He was more of a Democrat than today’s democrats . Shows how far we have descended into a right wing Oligarchy
