A lot can happen in 57 years.

In 1969 the corrupt President Nixon was president, the U.S. could not afford universal healthcare but did find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Vietnam.

In 2026 the corrupt President Trump is president, the U.S. still cannot afford universal healthcare but does find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Iran.

@randahl Set all the horrors aside, if possible, and consider that Nixon was a dead drunk who could read serious technical material.

Trump, in contrast, is a teetotaler who can't read shit.

Another thing is that Trump commits 20 Watergates before he belches up last night's happy meal(s).

(The Watergate was kind of a nothing. What Nixon did to Ellsberg was far worse.)
