    At least Richard Nixon wasn't a dumbshit. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-dictated-sons-misleading-statement-on-meeting-with-russian-lawyer/2017/07/31/04c94f96-73ae-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?utm_term=.d2a14508c86a …

        I mean, consider: @dick_nixon was actually really smart. His personality did him in but, yeah. He was nowhere near as dumb as Trump.

        But if that story is correct, that IS one of the things Nixon did.

        If you look at the Nixon impeachment articles, in Article 1 u'll see this as one of the "means used to implement" obstruction of justice… 2/ pic.twitter.com/dNgXzz8TgG

        Shush. I'm genuinely interested in comparison. I think it's a matter of scale, not type.

        I believe Nixon genuinely cared about at least some other people. Trump? Not one. Substantive diff if so. @dick_nixon

        After reading Trump's tweets and listening to various statements, the Jr. denial sounds too coherent for Sr. to have dictated it by himself.

        Based on the ineptitude of hiring and firings in this dumbshit administration. Richard Nixon is now hereby exonerated.

        Nixon feared/hated Ivy Leaguers but respected their power. Trump has pedigree but is dumb as shit, or age demented

        So true. Nixon did some good things before his borderline personality went over the border into full blown crazy. I.e. Where trump is now
