That said, I just finished reading Ron's Chernow's excellent biography of Alexander Hamilton. Among my take-away's from that tome is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The founders played dirty, underhanded politics with the best of them. The only difference is that social media has now amplified the volume and reach. <br /><br />PS. Perhaps the greatest insult in political history was uttered by John Adams in reference to Alexander Hamilton's reputation as a man-whore (Google "superabundance of secretions") and you'll see what I mean.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-24649283290459548772019-03-03T16:40:22.591-05:002019-03-03T16:40:22.591-05:00I have strong criticism for RMN.

What distinguishes and diminishes Nixon is what he did once he had the presidency. The petty enemies list. The criminal desire to use the IRS against his perceived enemies. The use of money that clearly violates 1956. <br />And if you do not think Nixon was not equal to LBJ and Kennedy in his attempt to obtain the presidency, he did nothing less than subvert and stop Johnson's peace initiative with the North Vietnamese in violation of federal law- the Logan Act. Google Anna Chennault. It's one of the more fascinating and less known events of the late 1960's that caused the war to go on and on.

You have given honorable mention to Leonard Colodny's Silent Coup and some very deserved praise for Robert Caro's Path To Power. I just finished Seymour Hersh's The Dark Side of Camelot. Fascinating stuff. Before you start pissing on Nixon, you must know that he was bush league compared to Johnson and Kennedy. Had it not been for JFK's death, LBJ would most likely have been indicted for bribery. And JFK's cavorting with a mafia don's mistress and using her as a bagman to pay off the Chicago mob to kill Castro makes Nixon's transgressions the equivalent of throwing spitballs in 6th grade English class.

When hillary falsely said the millions she spent on the pee pee dossier was for legal consulting, she should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Same goes for Rep. Rashida Tlaib who paid herself $17,500 in campaign funds AFTER the election. Also we should take a look at that big fine they gave the obama campaign and see if we can make it criminal. This isn't politics, this is about transparency for the American people! We have far too few people in prison in this country!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-27839741593308611812019-03-03T06:49:16.129-05:002019-03-03T06:49:16.129-05:00Truth is the Judge Hanzman and Judge Scola are hom...Truth is the Judge Hanzman and Judge Scola are home the entire weekend waiting for “COMMENTS” to be cleared by Rumpole. <br /><br />Rumpole, at least allow more weekend COMMENTS cleared quickly for these two gents. <br /><br />They have nothing to do all weekend - and anxiously wait for each update.

Your understanding...Rump these are NY Times worthy. Your understanding of history and ability to interweave it into the current affairs of our country is nonpareil. You're brilliant and your writing is compelling. As to 6:22. There are a dozen new restaurants to check out on the beach or in Wynwood. There is the Miami Film festival. There is a showing of films at the Coral Gables Art Theater and then you can walk across the street to Books and Books and have a panini in their café and I recommend their Riesling. It's crisp and cold and sweet and the courtyard is a secret PD hangout and the action ain't bad if you get my drift so close the laptop and get an uber and get off the couch and get out and live a little mi amigo/amiga. <br /><br /><br />Keep it up Rump. Recognition is not far away. I mean national recognition.
