This is looking less and less like Richard Nixon 2.0 and more and more a mirror-universe version of Jimmy Carter.

I'd join you as a fly.
Also, I find it funny that lying to top administration officials is considered so horrible by the administration while basically everyone in that administration constantly and blatantly lying to the American people is fine.

This is even quicker than the fall of Bert Lance.

We can only hope the French people don't make the same moronic mistake.

Putin and his fascist lackeys are the greatest threat to Western liberal democracy.

-Nope. That's refusal to obey the will of the people. Putin has an 80% approval rating. The courts, therefore, are always the greatest threat to Western liberal democracy.

Why would Russia put a plant on here? Credibility goes down once an account is created.

Was the pre-switch in time Hughes Court a greater threat to Western liberal democracy than Hitler?

-Of course. Hitler lost. The Progressives at the time were insistent that judicial decisions should be able to be overriden by Congress. I'm not sure I would go that far, but I am certainly against activist judges and in favor of Congress stripping jurisdiction from the courts on certain issues.

Petraeus is a traitor too. I mean granted he's not as bad as Flynn, who is worse than Alger Hiss, Robert Hanssen and the Rosenbergs combined, but he's still a traitor and thus should never serve in a government position.
