Yes, Tricky Dick was personally involved in a break-in to the opposition political party’s office. His Republican contemporaries persuaded him to resign as President of the USA, because his Petty Criminal involvement really amounted to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” bar of impeachment language.

It goes against all logic that this evil, crude orange man has supporters who think he is a victimized saint. Some of these folks are otherwise decent people, and it is difficult to join their Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personalities and make them the person I thought I knew.

As usual, you’ve hit the nail on the head! Hope all is well in Ohio!
All’s very well! Hope all finds you in like space!
