What's this?

"I gave 'em a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with

relish." Don't give Nixon too much credit. He was a resentful little shit right to the end. Yes, he was smarter than Trump. Yes, he was somewhat more restrained. But the key thing with Nixon is that our institutions held up very well, even including the Republican party. Right now, our institutions and that party, are strained to the breaking point.
