"Tricky Dick"...."Tricky Don". Those of us old enough remember Tricky Dick Nixon. He was an

amateur compared compared to "Tricky Don" but it doesn't hurt to connect these two lunatics.

1. The old bathroom stall scrawl was

"Dick Nixon before Nixon dicks you."

2. The real connection is Roy Cohn who became tRump's mentor. . . . nt

3. Absolutely agree, but I was thinking of a nickname for TSF that would conjure up really bad memories.

4. Tricky Dick?

Nixon was a walk in the park compared to the human garbage we have today with Trump!

7. I was very young when I first heard the pro-Nixon campaign slogan:

Why change dicks in the middle of a screw?
Vote for Nixon in '72.


If only all important historical events could be encapsulated so easily.

8. I was going to respond with exactly what you wrote: that Nixon was an amateur compared to Trump.

But all of Trump's executive orders and things being done. Who believes that Trump is even remotely capable of coming up with these things? He certainly is the figurehead, but who is really pulling the strings and remaining in the shadows?

10. I'm convinced it's Stephen Miller.

14. Somebody is whispering in his ear.

For instance, the other day when he was talking about getting rid of Head Start. Really?
Does Trump even know what Head Start is?

9. Surely it's the rhyme that's needed? "Don the Con".(nt)

11. Watergate

is my very first memory of anything involving the government. I remember asking my dad, who watched the hearings compulsively, "Daddy, why is the same thing on TV all the time now?" His answer: "Because, honey, the president did a very bad thing." I turned five a month before Nixon resigned.

A few months later, I learned about Jimmy Carter from my "Howard the Duck" comic books and I fell head over heels in (platonic!) love with that decent, honest man. I followed the 1976 election and was ecstatic when Jimmy won! That was the genesis of my becoming a lifelong Democrat!

12. That's a great story about discovering Jimmy Carter.

Those really were different times...

13. Tricky Dick had a little class (not much but some)

Tricky Don none, nothing at all.

This afternoon, I will again hold my sign. It has a mean-looking color photo of Nixon, and says: "Nixin looking down from hell in disgust." I've had a few people ask, "Don't you mean up from hell?" I resond by asking exactly where hell is? Only one tried to answer.

I will say I enjoyed reading our friend here noting that Roy Cohn connected Nixon and the felon. Knowing history is so important. Roy worked closely with Roger Stone during the Nixon and Reagan years.
