*resigns*

AROOGA! AROOGA!

Nixon was actually pretty cool if you look at all the stuff he did that wasn't related to Vietnam or being hugely paranoid.

>>2438323
Nixon was a political genius.
That cannot be denied.

>>2438323
>Paranoid
>PEOPLE ARE OUT TO GET ME
>People get him
Idk anon seems pretty justified

>>2438323
He was pretty cool when you ignore how evil he was.

Coup d'état

>>2438574
EPA and all the racial integration stuff he did makes up for it IMO.

>>2438323
>>2438574
>Nixon is good when you ignore all the bad stuff

Wow

Really makes ya think..

>>2438178

TFW you want Nixon's reputation to be rehabilitated for all the good shit he did while in office, but tapes like these exist:

To be fair, hes actually defending blacks in that first part, but hes such a crude asshole about it. Theres another one where he says niggers in refrence to how blacks are poor and they have no chance of bettering their income because racist wont hire them.

>>2440158
genuinely disagree, watergate and columbia are the two main things he's known for, simply overshadow his better side
hell even they were a bit blown up

>expecting us politics to make sense

>>2441176
He took a stupid gamble and lost.

The most annoying part about Watergate is that it was unnecessary.

The '72 election was a one-sided blowout

>>2441212
This

Nixon was so insecure that he felt the need to cheat to beat probably one of the worst Presidential nominees in modern history, and destroyed his legacy for it.

>>2438323
And Hitler built the Autobahn.

>>2438323
If you ignore him committing high treason in 1968 by convincing South Vietnam to reject any peace offers from the North, he was actually a very effective president.

Just sometimes effective presidents allow a quagmire to continue for another 5 unnecessary years, gaining nothing, before agreeing to the same peace treaty offered in 1968.

Yeah it makes no fucking sense. Nixon had such a small dick he destroyed his career over it.

>>2442813
If he'd just been drowning in bitches like Kennedy he could have done his job a lot better.

>trump will never be this based

>>2438323
It's not really paranoia if people are actually out to get you.

>>2442822
Well the problem is that Kennedy was handsome and self-assured, and Nixon looked and acted like a goblin, and he could never get over it. So there wasn't much chance for pussy.

The moral of the story is that ugly people make bad rulers, but not for the reason most people think.

>epa
this is always talked about. but if it weren't the guy he put in charge of it (don't recall his name), nixon was content for the EPA to be a toothless agency

>biggest whitehouse dinner
wow what an accomplishment
>war on cancer
a medical issue that he and the medical community severely underestimated. they were way rosey about it, but of course it can't be denied that cancer research was a very good thing.
>ended vietnam
he didn't, it continued throughout his presidency

>>2443048
i don't find nixon ugly really. also jfk's looks are overrated imo

>>2443057
>criticising a Kennedy
Not worth it bro, autists get very defensive when it comes to MUH AMERICAN ROYALTY. It's much easier to smile and nod while they slobber over mick cock.

his wife looks like an ayylmao here can't believe people thought she was beautiful

>i don't find nixon ugly really

His nose is too big, his hair is thinning and ugly, his smile is crooked. He is not handsome by classical standards of beauty.

Nixon and Johnson did this a lot. I think history is starting to forgive them now. Also, Nixon was the last good Republican.

>>2443089
not an argument. her eye's are so far apart she looks like a dolphin

>>2442761
