Is it perhaps, a Nutrient - cycling Tentacle action, inspired by a TV signal of Nixon ??
I wonder how many colonies they've established in similar office Pods all over the world.

I assume "Squiward" is Woodward, he and Bernstein had been courageous, worked long and hard, and taken care of business.
It was an amazing thing. It was stunning, so long in coming, momentous, actually pretty surreal to watch him resign.

A blog in 1974?
It was a good thing that Nixon was held accountable for his actions. It would be a good thing if Obama was held accountable for using the intelligence services of this country to spy on a candidate of the opposing party, but we all know that will never happen. Nixon could only dream of abusing his authority as Obama has done.
It would also be a good thing if there was an iota of consistency of outrage about the abuse of government power among those who take such delight in the downfall of Richard Nixon.

Oh Thom, reptile.
Oh Thom.
Tell me how many values you share with your boy Donald? You seem to avoid simple questions like that. You’re more of a “duck in and take a shit in a thread and leave” kind of troll aren’t you?
Do your co-workers wonder why you are snickering over there as you stick it to the 17 libs on a drug-band message board?
It would be a good thing if there were an iota of humanity in your soul, but your obsession on figuring out what negative things happen when you scratch a leftist is much greater than your desire to lift all Americans up and bring peace and prosperity to our great nation.
You should count yourself lucky that you can’t be impeached off to Russia.
And FYI you idiot, I know there weren’t blogs in 1974 but obviously there has to be one overly-intelligent do-gooder who needs to point out the blatantly obvious. You must be a barrel of laughs at the dinner table.

Hey how about that Collins guy from Buffalo. Insider trading? Nah, It was just pure coincidence that he frantically tried to call and reach his son 10x to tell him about the failed drug trial.
Then the doofus sold all his stock, told his father to sell the stock., and told his fiance to sel her stock.
The swamp is alive and well. Big Trump supporter, this Collins guy

Well I guess you can deny offering Zoners your dome space rent-free, Rrgrrr, but you can’t really deny offering a little hard drive space.
Maybe in a folder labeled ‘Zoner nemeses?’ Seems healthy.

If the people involved in the opposing party's campaign were not involved in multiple criminal offenses there would have been no need to investigate.
Remember, Bag O'Shit, there have been 5 guilty pleas from people who worked on Trump's campaign.
Then there is the collusion aspect. I know, collusion is not a crime...except it is, it is called conspiracy.

I’m with Turts. Obama got the Nobel because he was black, not for doing anything to promote peace. He’d been president for only 9.5 months when the award was announced. His drone war was an abomination.
I guess every POTUS needs some slack. It’s easy to be one thing while campaigning, but the realities of the job and global geopolitics dictate actions. Terrorism needed to be fought, and Americans don’t want much loss of life. Thus, the drones that killed thousands of civilians.

Not since 2017. I used to think the same thing though.

Well, yeah, you have a point there. Trump was exactly the same douche on the campaign trail as he is as president. I guess he deserves credit for bucking the trend, right?
He let the world know he was going to be a prick, and he’s followed through nicely. Bless his little soul and hands.

I remember as a kid my parents had a friend who was a Bircher, and in his annual Christmas card, along with pictures of his mail order bride, would be the right wing racist conspiracy theories for the year. It was an annual tradition to read his letter at our Christmas gatherings, because it was so ridiculously funny that anyone would believe that shit.
If he were alive today I’m sure there would be a whole part in his letter about how Obummer used the FBI to spy on a Trump. The Koch brothers father was a founding member of the John Birch society and his sons and Fox news have done an amazing job of elevating those conspiracy theories.
I miss having intelligent disagreements with Republicans, but you just can’t do that anymore. It has become the equivalent of having a conversation with the man on the corner carrying the end of times sign and screaming into a bull horn.
I keep waiting for the reckoning, but it will never come. Where is the economic collapse and death panels we were guaranteed from the Affordable Care Act? Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Where is the increased tax revenue from slashing taxes? Where is the lower teen pregnancy rate from teaching abstinence only education? Where is the destruction of society from gay marriage. Why do we keep breaking heat records when global warming isn’t real?
You would think any movement with that track record would collapse under the weight of their self-serving lies, but somehow it keeps chugging along.

Pretty sure it keeps chugging
Pretty sure it keeps chugging along because of Jesus and Money.
BTW nice blog post El Niño, Woodward and Brillstein would be proud of you. A lot of great points. I wonder how many of those Christmas grievances would still sound familiar today.
