JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST (NASH RIGGINS) MAKES A SERIES OF TRULY SILLY CLAIMS WHILE BUSY EXPRESSING HIS MORAL OUTRAGE OVER TRUMP - TRUMP IS A LOWLIFE BUT HE'S ONLY ONE IN A SERIES OF LOWLIFE MODERN AMERICAN PRESIDENTS - IT'S JUST THE KIND OF LEADERS PLUTOCRACY AND EMPIRE AND CORRUPTION PRODUCE

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY NASH RIGGINS IN THE INDEPENDENT



“Donald Trump is heading towards impeachment – and you have the power to make that happen

"History remembers Richard Nixon as some sort of monster but at least he had the common decency to resign when he was caught."



That's a ridiculous statement.

I lived through the events.

Nixon put the country through torture for a long period of time.

It was only when some very senior Republicans finally approached him in private that Nixon resigned, knowing full-well impeachment would succeed with Republican votes.

Also, not many Americans know this, but Nixon right near the end of his agony, put his wife, Pat, in hospital with a beating.

The press never ran the story, but it is now included in a major biography.

“America is better than this. We are better than this…. if you’d rather focus on solving genuine problems and trying to make our society a better place…”

Another ridiculous statement. American spends all its resources on a titanic series of wars and on spying. There are no resources and no interest in Washington in making “a better place.”

“Never has there been a man less capable of representing my country to the world”

I’m sorry but that is yet another ridiculous statement. The author has forgotten America’s first certified-moron president, George Bush, and a vicious moron at that.

The author forgets or doesn’t realize that Lyndon Johnson easily assumes the crown as most corrupt president ever. He used vote rigging in Texas (proven). He made a fortune with utterly corrupt cronies like Billy Sol Estes. He started a major pointless war. And did so with lies.

Johnson also falls under serious suspicion for his role in Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty.

And he falls under suspicion for his possible role in Kennedy’s assassination. Indeed, that’s what some say Israel used to blackmail him over the USS Liberty attack. After all, this man with the colossal temper never did a thing about the attack and just swallowed his pride. Why? We’ve never been told.

I guess the author also doesn’t recall Johnson frequently conducting discussions with reporters and others while sitting on the toilet.

Or the time, a reporter asked him why we were in Vietnam, and Johnson unzipped his pants and pulled out his ample organ, saying, “That’s why!”

Oh, there’s still more, but that gives a good idea.

America’s modern history is just packed with grotesques. Trump is just one of them.
