Does anyone else agree that this seems to be breaking like Watergate

[cally]

I was very young but I remember the constant new revelations and breaking news. To me, I was shocked when Nixon resigned but this feels like the same buildup.

Anyone else alive then agree?

1. I'm old enough to remember it, but I don't think we're there by a long shot. Not because it doesn't merit the same

treatment, but because Republicans are, by and large, a bunch of slobbering enablers. When Watergate happened, a delegation of Republican Congressional members went to the White House and told Nixon he had a choice: resign or be impeached. Today they'd go to the White House and massage his feet.

12. Yes, but what I remember

was it seemed that no Republicans were questioning Nixon until they did. I do think this is much harder, much more serious, the media is different, etc. Still, for the first time during this nightmare, it feels different

[PCIntern]

17. Yes exactly.

14. and "the good kind of massage" epstein

18. Not exactly

Almost every Republican except Lowell Weicker (sp?) of Connecticut fought to save Nixon until the transcripts came out and even then many stuck with him until the evidence was overwhelming.

2. But we had real news networks then.

I would love to be optimistic.

3. I hadn't thought about that...

...but you're right, the chronology just keeps rolling out one revelation after another. Makes it hard for tsf to get out in front of them.

4. Watergate

Yes, but the GOP of that day was not a cult and Nixon was not revered as a God by most republican politicians. So there was not nearly the amount of obstruction by the GOP as there is today. But the bottom line is that Watergate was a political scandal, today’s pedophile scandal is much more serious in my view.

5. Yep

6. Watergate didn't have to fight through a vast cult,

And then there is the cult's media.....

Where we are now is far worse, I think

7. This will be a lot tougher than Watergate.

The DOJ is thoroughly corrupt.

[lame54]

8. Republicans convinced him to resign...

They are too traitorous today

[Deuxcents]

9. As with Watergate, it's the cover up that's gonna get em

10. Had the Washington Post been owned by Bezos back then, Nixon would have served out his second term.

Given the state of our current corporate media, Trump will ride this one out.

11. Not really. Back then, nobody would have ran a known, convicted rapist for Prez to begin with. They wouldn't have

wanted its stink on them.
One can only hope, pray, spill ones beer, etc., that enough in the orange fatty's cult will start noticing the stench.

13. Worse than Watergate because the

World had to show us how to do it to right.

[Ferryboat]

15. There is an archive of evidence out of that emerges a timeline.

Cross reference for calls, travel logs etc. Takes time but the narrative will emerge. Those involved will be exposed. Administration officials involved in the cover up will go to jail.
I lived through Watergate, it always the cover up that eventually breaks down.

16. I remember the good old days when we had a two party system - and the Nation was more important than a President.

So, what I think is happening now (unlike during the Watergate era) is that a few GOP members are starting to feel the heat. The Polls and last few elections is telling them that their seats may be in jeopardy., not that they have had a change of heart or concern for the nation, but fear for their seats.

Slowly but surely, fear is making some of them wake up and become WOKE. This combined with how unpopular Trump, his Cabinet and his policies are to the majority of the nation.

19. It does seem to have that same sense of expectant and building pressure

Slower of course, but palpable from my chair. Not that I'll ever claim to know what will happen, only what I guess will happen... and my guess is his house of cards seems less stable today than it did yesterday.

[CanonRay]

20. The big difference is the Republicans

In Watergate they were cooperating and allowed an actual investigation to proceed. Eventually they went to Nixon and told him to resign. Can you ever imagine that happening with this bunch. Instead they are actively obstructing.

Is something I remember from History classes

I was but a small child in 1974
