Take over 101. Vance should be half accountable along with Trump. Those that allow him to spend money, create wars, grift, manipulate markets and contracts with the Americans people money. Treason!!!! If congress and the senate were not on the take, Trump would be impeached.

Thank you. I wish we had honest people in the Republican Party, those that would stand up to trump like those in Nixon’s day that believed in democracy not in corruption. . People still know right from wrong, it just hard to believe so many are corrupt and no longer believe in democracy.

The Republicans of Tricky Dicky's day weren't honest, they were just scared for their own careers.

Calling Vance a pig is an insult to pigs because Vance is so far beneath them. Vance and Trump and the entire Trump regime are the anti-Christ.

Next Pres. Ticket: Newsome/Kinzinger and L Cheney for DOJ

Comparing what the GOP has done during both of the Drumf administrations makes Watergate look like frat boy antics.

I lived through those times. JD is a stain on our values & Constitution! Thank You for True Facts!

All was NON VIOLANT

Organized protests that made positive changes vs opposite of January 6th insurrection of destruction & violence…

OK and I agree about JD and his spawn of satan life

CFH's avatar

Ps. Roberts and those in the Supreme Court need to be removed and dis barred!!!!!

Kathy Hughes's avatar

JD was born after Watergate. My mother thought it important for us to watch the hearings and we saw the broadcast where Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace. Gerald Ford should never have pardoned Nixon as it has led to our current plight.

Probably didn't have TV down in the holler anyway!

It would have ended Trump’s reign in its tracks, if it weren’t for the out dated rules of the Constitution! I’m not saying it’s all bad, but to allow a criminal to remain the President is criminal in itself! 🇬🇧

Allowing a 34 count convicted felon to run at all is a big issue.

People thought Ms. Harris had the election all thrown up. I’m sure of it.

It gave so many people the emotional out from having to actually vote.

Let this be a lesson forever and for everyone and handed down and talked about

No matter how well you think your preferred candidate might be doing

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

And make sure anyone younger than yourself knows how important it is and in some cases how difficult it was to achieve suffrage.

And if anything about the Constitution is “outdated”, it’s that the Founding Fathers assumed the President/VP would be guided by personal ethics & morals, IMHO.

Cindy Hamilton's avatar

That was the Supreme Court’s decision to release him from prosecution for any & all criminal activity!

Betsy Groth's avatar

Nope, not any or all. Supposedly, just activities within the role of President. But he has committed a bunch of crimes that have nothing to do with the role. But a completely corrupt DOJ won’t recognize that.

Collusion !!

Supreme Court needs a barrie

r to how long they should serve. 10 years I propose! For justices. No Long term appointments. So we don't run into the complacency from any sitting Judge.

Isobel's avatar

How many Supreme Court Judges were Trump picks? 🇬🇧

Thank you Mr Schiff for this side by side comparison. Vance is constantly showing every day that he cannot be trusted and is trivializing the crimes of his boss. Nixon at Least had the decency to resign. I don't always agree with you on every topic or subject but in this case, it is simply facts that cannot be argued. The "Deep State" didn't take down Nixon, and it certainly isn't what is taking down Trump. Ambition and greed are their downfalls. Too many today have forgotten what it means to be a Civil Servant. One who serves the the people that put them there. Johnson's tone deaf comment about affordability for average Americans, when he is taking in over $200k in salary alone is a slap in the face to most folks. Vance, Trump, Johnson wil all be reviled by history as the clowns that attempted to crash or sell of the country for their own benefit.

Kathy Hughes's avatar

The only “deep state” is the one Trump wants to create which is personally loyal to himself, and not loyal to the Constitution. Public employees, military members, elected politicians and attorneys give their allegiance to the Constitution and laws, not to a specific individual.

The GOP is purely criminal.

Shannon Landers's avatar

Excellent comparison. Thank you, Senator, for reminding us how far we have come and why we need to continue to fight for our democracy.

I too witnessed the Watergate era and I have always maintained that Nixon was the worst president ever because of his actions. That is until Trump came down that golden escalator. He has now preempted Nixon and holds the distinction of worst president ever. Vote in November as if your life depended on it; because it does.

Italien's avatar

Of course Addington and Yoo’s unitary executive privilege under Dubya prevailed and here we are. Agree about November.

DW's avatar

The good old days when even a lying crook had s o m e ethics😸

carol light's avatar

Trump is a felon! Vance is complicit. All of this president’s men are guilty.

Sandy S's avatar

JD certainly knows how to lie like DJT. He has got that part of being a president down pat. 'Haitians eating pet cats' and all. As he speaks to a group of Nixon lovers ... why not throw in lines like 'a 12 hour news cycle'?

Will we ever have a president who is a true leader, again? Or are we doomed to fiction and fantasy for private profit from here on out?

Helene MacMillan's avatar

What we have today is a corrupt lifelong criminal who has only just begun being held legally accountable.

So the first thing he does is run for office and then run for office again.

Attacking the capital should not even be a question as to whether it’s insurrection

Shouting to a crowd of people who have already proven, they will be violent for you that they better “go in there and fight like hell or you won’t have a country anymore” was not a call to lovingly and peacefully protest.

And the fact that people can actually watch the videos of what we saw in real time on television in live broadcasts was a bloody violent assault on the very people that had been voted to do the work of governing.

This administration and this congress have no idea how to govern.

And the Congress doesn’t really want to.

At this point, I would find it. Shocking to hear anyone say our current president is dedicated to governing.

He’s dedicated to vanity projects and making us pay for them.

I don’t even pay for a vanity plate on my car.

But I’m expected to pay for his vanity, arch and his vanity ballroom and his ruination of the reflecting pool by hiring people who don’t do reflecting pools because they like him.

We have a toddler in the oval office

And we have his best friends in every branch of government now.

Pat's avatar

I lived through Watergate. Watched it all. I cringe at the idea that a man like JD Vance is a viable candidate for the presidency in the eyes of the Republican Party. So corrupt on ALL levels.

James Winter's avatar

Extremely well done!

Veronica's avatar

Nooooo stupid Vance. Richard Nixon was impeached and he disgraced the US. You weren’t even born when Nixon was around.

Jerome Vanderberg's avatar

Actually, he was NOT impeached. His Republican colleagues told him that if he didn't resign, he would be impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate, with Republicans joining in with Democrats. He resigned because he didn't want to be embarrassed.
