The Watergate burglary was successfully downplayed by Nixon, Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichmann, Colson and others throughout the remainder of the 1972 campaign. Despite reporting from the beginning by Woodward and Bernstein and CBS News, it didn’t break open until after the trial of the burglars in January 1973, and the Ervin Committee hearings later that year. So, it was a twelve hour story in 1972 but, Vance should take note, the coverup, though initially successful, led to Nixon’s downfall and prison for his henchmen.
Like an embarrassing report will stop Donny because of its stupidity and unconstitutionality? If stupid was any sort of bar for the moron, the Iran warring wouldn’t have happened and all that.
And given the national Democrats’ recommitment to being an alt-Republican party, at most they’ll provide a little empty talk, then 🦗s.
Come on. Time for self-delusion is well past.
As for the wholly indefensible Vance (not his real name), he’s not only correct but proving he’s correct 24/7. Having an insane thug as POTUS, one whose greed and insanity (among *other* pathologies) propelled him to go to war and maintain same against Iran is at least as scandalous as Watergate and the media neither report it as a scandal nor makes much of an effort to engage in honest, fact-based journalism re the warring. And even more unlike Watergate, the national Democrats are essentially demanding escalation.
Yeah, Watergate was nothing compared to the Age of Trump and nigh-infinite enablers.
And while I’m ranting, I suppose I should note that much as I dump on the racist, genocide-promoting, anti-democratic Founding Fathers, they probably limited the vote exactly to prevent a wholly unfit piece of shit like Trump from being POTUS.
Or at least in the anniversary, spirit I’d like to think so — subject to likely change, of course.
Today's Scotus rulings: *Watson* allows mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day to be counted, preserving a state's right to set "time, place, and manner" of elections; *Chatrie* preserves 4th Amendment protection against overly broad mobile-phone geolocation seizures; * Slaughter* killed *Humphreys Executor*, allowing the president to fire at will agency heads; and finally *Cook* awards the Federal Reserve special protection against arbitrary firing by the president, carving out an exception for its *Slaughter* decision.
"Citizenship" — *trump v Barbara* — coming tomorrow. So, two big wins for the Constitution today, and best we can hope for from this Court.

Thanks to TPM for daily information, as horrible as it is to take in.
