14. Nixon, Reagan, Bush all did things similar

and only Nixon got caught because we had better investigating reporting.

Reagan, before he was elected, undermined negotiations with Iran and
convinced them to hold off releasing the captives until after the elections,
and allowed guns to be sent to Niagara. (all his minions fell on their swords)

Bush, started an illegal war with lies and subversion, and has never faced
prosecution. He destabilized the middle east and gave birth to ISIL.

All the repugs colluded to marginalize the electoral process in this country
by using nefarious methods (gerrymandering, voter intimidation, voter suppression).
repugs is the true name of these political thugs.

These thugs have undermined all of President Obama's initiatives, so what is
different. The national media is not investigating this, they all play along with
faux entertainment. They are leading us down the same path to destruction
as did the senators of the Old Roman empire. At some point they will appoint
their own president for life. Remember they contemplated allowing Arnold to
run for president, and now they are allowing a Canadian to run.
