You start your discussion with a false statement. Why?

BTW, WTF is a "watergaste"?

 

[the watcher]

It was a preemptive pardon to insure that he would not face any further investigations into his removal. No one wanted any more discussion, he was removed and that was to be the end and all of it. The real question is why was he removed and by whom, that little break in just didn't make any sense at all.

What Nixon was doing was all about getting reelected. Which wasn't a part of Presidential duties.

Trump is only a nightmare to you because you have been behaviorally conditioned to hate Trump. How does it feel to be a human version of Pavlov's dog?

Trump never really cared what things meant, just what he could manipulate them into.

As a party to a burglary, he was impeachable as well as guilty of criminal activity.

But, the real reason is he angered both Parties enough that they wanted his head. The media exposure allowed a lot of left and right wing technocrats in both Parties to push out a lot of the 'old timers', especially the populists, aka pro-American Congressmen and Senators.

Watergate Babies - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Watergate Babies were Democrats first elected to the United States Congress in the 1974 elections, after President Richard Nixon's resignation over the Watergate scandal, on August 9, 1974.[1][2]

Democrats picked up 49 seats in the House and 5 in the Senate. This group greatly increased the strength of Northerners and liberals in the House Democratic Caucus. They joined more senior liberals to strike a blow against the seniority system and overthrow three committee chairmen whom they viewed as too conservative and/or too old to represent the caucus: William R. Poage (D-TX), Wright Patman (D-TX), and F. Edward Hébert (D-LA).

Thomas Downey of New York was the youngest among the "babies", aged 25 upon his election, the minimum age at which one may serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chris Dodd (D-CT), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Paul Simon (D-IL), Paul Tsongas (D-MA), Max Baucus (D-MT), and Bob Krueger (D-TX) were also elected during this cycle. Leahy was the last Watergate Baby to serve in Congress; he retired in 2023 after 48 years in office.[3]

"Watergate Babies" can also apply to those Democrats elected to state or local office in 1974;[4][5] political scientist Malcolm Jewell wrote, "Democrats made substantial state legislative gains in a large number of states in 1974, the Watergate election".[6] Numerous states passed sweeping ethics and public disclosure reforms in the aftermath of Watergate.[7][8]

He's also fairly moderate; only tards run around claiming he's some right wing crazy. His jabs and insults of Democrats is just icing on the cake is all. It enrages a lot of halfwits and sociopaths with high self-esteem.

moderation in the service of hedonistic excess is no virtue.

trump will enable any right wing craziness from leaving nato to the "unitary executive theory. " or the boogaloo boys. those are the 1/2 wits and sociopaths that he sics on people who are mean to him.
