Forty-four Years After Richard Nixon Resigned in Disgrace


One national newspaper backed two young Metro Desk reporters following a police report of a strange break-in by five men at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972.  Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein eventually uncovered a covert Plumbers operation run out of the White House and other abuses of power and a massive cover-up that became the Watergate Scandal. A bi-partisan Senate Select Committee investigated the Nixon Administration’s abuses and Watergate cover-up that led to Articles of Impeachment in the House and resulted in the resignation of a dangerous President on August 9, 1974 to avoid certain removal from office in disgrace.

Now, forty-four years after Richard Nixon resigned, that same great national newspaper, joined by the mainstream news media and the now famous authors and commentators, Woodward and Bernstein, are confronting a much more dangerous lunatic demagogue ‘President’, Donald Trump. Once again, a morally bankrupt Republican Party is supporting a lawless corrupt imperious Republican President, supported by a minority base of willfully ignorant True Believers. Once again, a Special Prosecutor and bi-partisan Senate Committee are methodically gathering the proof of impeachable offenses.

This time the President is not just a slightly paranoid and ethically challenged individual, but a profoundly mentally ill Malignant Narcissist. Thousands of mental health professionals have publicly warned since he announced his candidacy that Trump is dangerous and unfit to serve, and will become more unstable and delusional as the walls close in. Exactly what we are seeing. This corrupt mental and emotional cripple will do anything to cling to power, held in check, not by this own Republican Party in Congress, but dedicated patriots in his administration and the Civil Service in The Trump Resistance.

With the evidence provided by Trump’s own words and deeds, the Mueller and Senate investigations, the disclosures of patriots inside of the Administration, the Fourth Estate and patriots like Woodward and Bernstein, We the People will begin the end of this madness in the Midterms this November, followed by Trump’s removal from office in disgrace in 2019.
