Wifes husband

8. This is stupid

Tapper was born in 1969. Watergate started in 1972, I believe. He has only read about Watergate. A bunch of us actually watched it happen. There is a difference.
"Nixon was in charge of his facilities when he wasn't drinking" demonstrates the level of stupidity of Tapper's analysis of the situation. Nixon's being in charge of his facilities was what caused Watergate, dumb ass.
Nixon looks like a Sunday school teacher now, but at the time we had honorable congressmen who in general thought that lying to the American people, general corruption were bad things. They thought it would be a good idea to fix that. Things change

Biden should not have run for re-election. That was hubris. He was deteriorating physically, and to a lesser extent, mentally.
But honestly, on his worst day he was better than his opponent. He could express himself in complete sentences, and may have fallen off a bicycle, but at least he could ride one. Can anyone honestly believe that the chaos we live with now would have happened under Biden?

I am disappointed in Tapper. I thought better of him. I understand trying to sell a book, but I did not believe he would stoop this low.
