This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.
Supporters are already defending it as Trump needs a break from doing all the great things he has done. That and Trump doesn't need to be there for every occasion of fallen military members.

Say what you want about Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama and Biden but they were always respectful to the troops.
Of course.
But then some cult member will mention that one time where Trump grabbed a Marine's cover (military term for hat) when it blew off and put it back on that Marine's head. Or that one time Obama or Biden forgot to reciprocate a salute made to them.

Nixon ended the Vietnam war, Nixon increased veterans benefits, Nixon ended the draft.
The most disgraced American president prior to Trump cared more about the troops than Trump.
Edit: It's also worth noting that Nixon fought in WW2 and didn't flee the draft thanks to a rich daddy like Trump and Musk did.
It's kinda funny how the worst politicians in history kinda have redeeming features, if you compare them to Trump and everything MAGA-related. Heck, even Hitler cared for wild life, nature and the nation (not for individual people thereof though). Trump doesn't even have that, but already features concentration camps, a Madagascar-plan and Sudentencrisises left and right... Geezus...

One of the guys at the protest I went to had an "I'd rather have Nixon" sign.

Just a reminder about tomorrow that the NYSE halts trading for 15 minutes when the S&P drops 7% or 13%. Trading for the day ends if it goes down by 20%. The 'however' is trading will not stop if there is 35 minutes left in the trading day at lest for the 7% and 13%. Not sure about the 20%.
I bring this up because the futures still have S&P currently near 5% down and we have YET to hear all of the retaliatory tariffs from places like the EU. Those are expected Tuesday.
Chase saying we currently have a 60% of a rescission this year is optimistic.
It's OK to make mistakes as long as you don't make the same ones. If you do then you're not learning.

Which is why Nixon should always be placed above Trump in all things. Nixon with all his faults, once he was caught red handed, resigned. Trump? Fake news.
Remember also with Nixon that when he left still had a sizable Republican rating on him. But it was at a time where something like that happened, no matter the party, you were done.
