Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley reported on Donald Trump’s efforts to strong-arm some of the country’s top law firms into doing his bidding on Sunday night’s episode of the embattled CBS newsmagazine.
Pelley’s segment pulled no punches in describing Trump’s efforts and reminding viewers that Trump is the “first felon” ever to sit in the Oval Office.
Trump is the biggest piece of shit America has ever produced.
Richard Nixon has entered the chat
Nixon didn’t do shit compared to Donald
Because he inherited a mostly functional democratic society and not the shitshow Trump took over from Obama and later Biden.

Reported for ad hominem.
Did I ever imply otherwise? More relevantly, do I sound like I care?
Yes, the gift of unpopular wars, wildly expanded executive power, a massive surveillance state, backlash to ineffectual neoliberal rule, etc. The march towards fascism started with either Reagan or Nixon, and not with Trump. Trump took a society teetering on the edge of fascism and gave it the final push it needed to fall in.
You think you make good points but you don’t.
And yet you’re the one who cancelled his comment. Pray tell, is it not true that the rise in American authoritarianism started in the late 60es, when the government started to act in spite of what public opinions thought about its action in foreign countries and wars? If not, can you please post any proof supporting this thesis of yours? Because it’s sure as he’ll that I, as many others, will never take your word for granted if you aren’t able to support it with factual information.
Take your head out if your ass and realise that American (like most of us in the “developed” world) have been bought with pearls and trinkets to subdue their reasoning capabilities and voices to capitalism and its venomous fruits. The sooner you accept this ACTUAL FACT the sooner you can start fighting the good fight against capitalism and its cronies (who may also be your friends and family; not all capitalists drive around in nice cars or live in big villas. Most of them are “momentarily embarrassed billionaires” or delusional victims as I like to call them)
Hahhahahahahahhahahaha then when was the last good economy? 2008? LOL
I never said anything about the economy. Reread my reply; I said “mostly functional democratic society”. Democratic norms and checks and balances were in much better shape when Nixon took office than when Trump did.
Are you high?
He’s got a point. As far as culture, norms, and sensibility, it was before Obama. However, he’s leaving out that we got to here because shit heads like him had a fuse blow in their brain when a black man became president.
