Trump’s Speech Had 1 Eerie Parallel To Nixon’s Final State Of The Union

President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday contained a callback to one delivered by President Richard Nixon when he was under investigation in the Watergate scandal.

“The time has come to bring that investigation and the other investigations of this matter to an end,” Nixon said on Jan. 30, 1974.

Trump on Tuesday also demanded an end to investigations against him and his administration.

“If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation,” Trump said. “It just doesn’t work that way.”

NowThis created a mashup of the two speeches:

Less than four months after Nixon’s demand, the House Judiciary Committee began hearings on articles of impeachment against Nixon.

By the end of July 1974, the committee approved the articles of impeachment by a vote of 27-11, with six Republicans joining all of the Democrats on the committee.

A full vote in the House never took place as Nixon announced his resignation on Aug. 8, 1974, effective at noon the following day.

What I am telling you is that Congress is extremely slow about everything important. 45 years has passed since Nixon, but Congress has only gotten slower because there is no Vietnam War fiasco to motivate them to fire the idiot that is running a war. Congress couldn't bring themselves to end Nixon in 90 days or less, like any board of directors would quickly fire a CEO that was not performing. Right now there really isn't a powerful motivation for Congress to quickly fire Trump because he has not yet screwed up his equivalent of the Vietnam War. I suppose if Trump invaded Mexico to stop illegal aliens, since he can't get funding for his Texas Wall, Congress would start moving on impeachment because it would be motivated to get rid of him by Trump's stupidity and incompetence.

Now that I think about a Trump/Mexico War for 10 minutes, that War would have to run for at least 2 years before Congress would admit the US Army was losing, increasing the flow of illegals into the US, and unnecessarily killing thousands of civilians. The 2020 election will be here before then. Congress won't impeach until after Trump wins a second term.

There would be no point to a US/Mexico war, and the idea is laughable.

Consider me the crow eater of the year if you're right and Trump is such an evil mastermind that he can convince his voting base that the answer to our problems is going to war with Mexico.

Right now I'm filing that under "Not gonna happen in a million years".

It is laughable and that is why Trump will not be impeached in the next two years: he can't commit an act big enough to get him removed from office fast. That is not because Trump is wise but because it is impossible to make a big and dumb enough mistake to get Congress to move forward in less than two years. Both the Vietnam and Iraq Wars had been run incompetently for many years before a majority in Congress got fed up with the President's stupidity. Congress does not do fast and furious reaction to events. But Trump does many laughable things that his voters can't understand are better jokes for TV comedians than they are policy.

You could have stopped years ago listing days because Pelosi said she won't allow the House to vote for impeachment. She is delighted with four years of Trump shoving his head up the ass of every Trump voter, just as much as the Trump voters are, but Pelosi's reasons are different. And McConnell won't let a trial in the Senate end with Trump's conviction.

Seriously, why would the Dems want to get rid of Trump when he's in the process of destroying the GOP and energizing more undecideds to vote for "anything but GOP." He's a free 5 times daily advertisement for why the GOP is evil and needs to die and at the same time a cautionary tale for Dems.
