[curiosity]

Narcissistic people suffer from very low self esteem, and chose to bury it by bullying and bragging and attacking everyone he fears, and trusts no one.

[CK-dyjr]

I love hearing from a historian on the news! Thanks for a great interview!

[MayThereBeWorldPeace]

Watergate? More like Tsunami-gate. He has tainted everything. Everything.

[ellendoyle]

We called in Stupidgate in a chat last night. The three stooges could have done it better. It is the dumbest crimes ever all caught on the tapes they wanted to destroy.

[Alwaysgrim]

The chosen one is breaking all kinds of historical records Bigly.

[batgurrl]

Thank you Jen but this man needs to be indicted, tried, convicted. A traitorous Criminal like him should be nowhere near The White House

[j-trandell]

Great interview! Thank you. Biden is excellent - on task, focused, untrammeled by the malarky outta the GOP. 🎉🎉🎉

[lisaorlando]

The big difference you didn’t talk about is that the Republican Party, led by Goldwater, insisted that Nixon resign. That party doesn’t exist anymore.

[mechanix]

When I was old enough to understand who and what Nixon had done I thought to myself I hope that never happens in my lifetime. 🤷‍♂️

[conehead]

Please INDICT HIM YESTERDAY!!!
Nobody on the planet has so much time in the news daily.🎉

[nigeltufnel]

I know trump is terrified, and that makes me happy.

[j-trandell]

Nixon is an Angel - comparitively. Smarter, more ethical, awareof the good of the country.

[melvinthomas]

Let me attempt to explain. If Trump isn’t about him then he doesn’t care. Truly he believes he should be privileged.

[mikekelley]

November 2020: Trump loses his re-election.

January 2021: Trump loses his insurrection.

January 2021 - present: Trump loses every court battle thrown his way or throws.

JUSTICE IS PREVAILING!!

[Mankind_-]

Pretty soon trump will be saying, Melania, I hardly know her?

[pablopeter]

The DOJ is not giving a chance to Mr.Donald Trump, you have to imagine how much stress this poor guy is going through after receiving one indictment after another. Lets say it, our orange "friend" will be needing a orange suit very soon

[Frithonor]

Trump WISHES his crimes were as minor as Watergate 😂😂😂

[kevinmoore]

Jen Psaki didn't knock me out at first but either she's getting better or I've learned to appreciate her. Melissa Murray is by far my favorite of the up-and-comers but I also really like Jen Psaki, Ayman, Ai Velshi, Katie Phang, Mehdi, and Alicia Menéndez (in spite of her evil father's sick unforgiveable Cuban policy, which remains the single worst thing about the Biden Administration. Not ending the embargo is almost as bad as invading Ukraine. Makes me sick to my stomach that Obama didn't end it and Biden has even less excuse now that FL is no longer a swing state-or even a civilized region). Alex Wagner is also improving a lot. It goes without saying that Maddow, Hayes, O'Donnell, Melber and Wallace continue to knock it out of the park during this critically important period.

[cbpd]

The president who makes Nixon look good by comparison. That is a new low for American politics.

[anthonyharrell]

At least had enough sense to quit but Ford pardoned him which shouldn't have happened.
