The Road to the Oil Shock
In September 1973, Nixon dismissed Arab threats to cut oil production. Shortly thereafter, world oil prices quadrupled and the United States endured an Arab oil embargo.

In his case there seems to be no final answer to the question "How stupid can you get" - John A Farrell quoting Dwight Eisenhower's diaries in his biography of Richard Nixon (he was not referring to Nixon)

Once #GeraldFord pardoned #RichardNixon instead of jailing him for twenty years, the #GOP crooks knew they could do whatever they wanted

Famously, #GeraldFord couldn't fart and chew gum at the same time, and he pardoned the evil crook #RichardNixon; it seems appropriate that a massively expensive floating toilet is named in his honour *salutes*

I think it is wild that Richard Nixon backed a negative income tax, which would have been a small universal basic income, back in the 1970s.

#Watergate did not begin with a resignation speech. It began with a break-in that seemed, at first glance, almost provincial.
It took 26 months—from June 1972 to August 1974—for the scandal to metastasize into the resignation of #RichardNixon.
The lesson was not merely that presidents can fall…..

The one on the right reminds me of #JackKerouac Alley in #SanFrancisco. #Boston Kerouac b. Lowell, #Massachusetts, played halfback at #Columbia #NewYork. At least #RichardNixon & #HunterThompson knew how to talk football. #VoteBlue @citylightsbooks.bsky.social

Richard Nixon felt his domestic crimes didn't mean anything because "nobody died at Watergate". He was forced to resign.
This time, people have died.

Just watched a documentary about Neil Armstrong. Inevitably, footage of Richard Nixon was used.
Can you imagine The Donald rambling about magnets and windmills to Buzz Aldrin?

By reading this comic, you are running the risk of being put on Richard Nixon's enemies list — or at least, you would have been in the early '70s. #history #comic #webcomic #richardnixon
Indeed, progress marches on?
As someone who barely missed mandatory engagement in the farce of #Vietnam (thanks to #RichardNixon 🤷♂️), the direction of that so-called progress remains my concern to this day.
