Re: Nixon!
I've read that Nixon had a real issue with mixing alcohol with pills...so he wouldn't drink a lot...but because he was also popping downers to help him sleep...big time issues. I've also read that during the most tense hours of the Yom Kippur Way in 1973, Nixon was passed out drunk in the White House.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 4:39pmHe was the Don Draper of presidents.Silent Majority wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 4:05pmI think it was In the Arena where he said he'd never given a speech with out a drink and never wanted to try.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 1:58pmIt's weird that Nixon was a pretty committed drunk, but the idea of him smoking, snorting, or injecting is unfathomable.JennyB wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 1:42pmHe killed him by doing drugs with him.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 10:10am

Re: Nixon!
Yeah, as Watergate closed around him and he lost access to people like Haldeman, his paranoia and self-pity sent him deep into the bottle. And he wasn't a fun and happy drunk, but a fucking bleak asshole. For an intelligent man with remarkable perseverance and force of will, he was one big cancer inside.WestwayKid wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 6:22pmI've read that Nixon had a real issue with mixing alcohol with pills...so he wouldn't drink a lot...but because he was also popping downers to help him sleep...big time issues.

I can and I can't see Nixon has phsyically abusive. To the former, he was a nasty piece of shit and especially belligerent when drunk. To the latter, he conducted himself in a way that made the physical so alien that him focusing his rage with his fists seems strange to me. But the prevalence of the stories tells me the needle points to him being a domestic abuser. What a hideous id monster he was.

Re: Nixon!
Sharp analysis. My one slight irritation, having nothing to do with the facts of the subject, is with the headline of the linked article. Is it time to address Nixon's alleged abuses? I mean... I guess? In the sense that we should address every instance of abuse? But it's not exactly like revealing Nixon was a colossal abuser piece of shit is going to be revelatory for anyone. It's set up like the article is breaking a taboo where none exists. Go ahead, address away.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Aug 2018, 8:42amhttps://theslot.jezebel.com/is-it-time- ... 1828549976

True story his dad Tom Major was a circus performer. He is also Major Tom from Bowie’s Space Odessy after Bowie saw his name on a circus poster in Brixton.

Re: Nixon!
Now Way!, Major Tom!!, I did know the Circus one though, but I'd forgotten that, I can see him as a Bank manager but thought he was very starchy as Conservative leader, but best of a bad lot where Thatcher was concerned, did I just say that?!.101Walterton wrote: ↑24 Aug 2018, 4:35pmEven more so considering John Major is the only person who has ever run away from the circus to work at a bank!hairydot61 wrote: ↑24 Aug 2018, 9:15amI understand those sorts of thoughts are hard to imagine but people in private are capable of anything, I had real trouble understanding boring old John Major Conservative leader getting it on with Edwina Curry while in power, I don't want to give you images in your head or anything but!!

Re: Nixon!
I'm picturing it more as a wistful remembrance of a past lover. Yes, LBJ was carnal, a genuine man amongst pretenders. Then, back to reality, Dick asks, "I'm sorry, what was the question?"
