I guess it depends on your point of view.<\/p>\n<p>Having sat through the Watergate hearings, which displaced everything else on TV back in Them There Olden Times of Antenna TV, and realizing before it all ended that Pres. Nixon had approved of and supported a felony by people on his staff, I fail to see the comparison now. Pres. Trump has not yet, as far as I can tell, committed a felony or even attempted to do so. I sometimes get the impression that he shoots from the hip, but so far, no real harm has been done. When he met up with Fatty Kim da T&#8217;ird in Hanoi, and ND:tBF wouldn&#8217;t budge an inch, he walked away from it. Right now, that Fat Basterd is back to his Pappy&#8217;s tricks of spooking the South by testing missiles. But there is still room for negotiation there.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the narrow, angry, spoiled brat sore-loser minds of the Democrats, they gotta have something.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a long, long list of occurrences that were deemed far worse than Watergate, starting in 1973. What the Democrats are doing now isn\u2019t mentioned but the article is datd 2018, before this nonsensical waste of tax money on hell-bent revenge came about.<\/p>\n<p>Get some refreshments and read the whole thing, at the link below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2018\/02\/01\/46-political-scandals-that-were-worse-than-watergate-216923\">https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2018\/02\/01\/46-political-scandals-that-were-worse-than-watergate-216923<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some of these people weren&#8217;t even around when the Watergate hearings were going on.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, Hillary lost, you idiots!!! Your shenanigans have cost people more than they could afford and that includes that monstrosity known as Obamacare. Those idiotic screaming sessions by your fans during the Kavanaugh hearings didn&#8217;t do anything but make you all look stupid. This is three years later and you&#8217;re still a bunch of sore losers and spoiled brats.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe what we need is a good fistfight on the floor of one of the Houses, something like the following:<\/p>\n<p>On February 22, 1902, John McLaurin, South Carolina&#8217;s junior senator, raced into the Senate Chamber and pronounced that state&#8217;s senior senator, Ben Tillman, guilty of &#8220;a willful, malicious, and deliberate lie.&#8221; Standing nearby, Tillman spun around and punched McLaurin squarely in the jaw. The chamber exploded in pandemonium as members struggled to separate both members of the South Carolina delegation. In a long moment, it was over, but not without stinging bruises both to bystanders and to the Senate&#8217;s sense of decorum. &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/artandhistory\/history\/minute\/Senate_Fistfight.htm\">https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/artandhistory\/history\/minute\/Senate_Fistfight.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A good knockdown, drag it out floor fight, using fists and canes?
