HALDEMAN: There’s a genre of film they make. They’re called “edits.” Footage of you - the Checkers speech, the ‘62 concession, the helicopter, set to a kind of, uh, trancelike electronic music. The comments say things like “literally me” and “he just like me fr.”

NIXON: What’s “fr”?

HALDEMAN: “For real,” sir.

NIXON: And the…sweating? In the, the debate? They’ve seen the sweating?

HALDEMAN: They love the sweating. They consider it relatable. The consensus is that the sweating gives you “aura.”

NIXON: Aura, huh.

[EIGHT SECONDS OF SILENCE]

NIXON: Bob, I want to be very clear about something. In 1960 that sweating cost me the presidency of the United States, and now it’s giving me…what, aura? Where the [EXPLETIVE] was the aura in Cook County?

KISSINGER: History has a way of vindicating-

PRESIDENT: Henry, do you have edits?

[TWELVE SECONDS OF SILENCE]

KISSINGER: There are some.

It's Nixon.

1/ Here's what so many people get wrong about Richard Nixon and Watergate.

@Cali1derfull @nixonfoundation Nixon wrote about Dean in memoirs. Dean was a DOJ official under Mitchell. A good one, according to RN himself. I can’t recall the details, but I believe he got the job after the previous counsel left.

@BovrilG 3 AM and I am laughing out loud. Thank you

@quaylegore Got it. Ebay does have some good retro magazines for sure, will look for pins too, thanks

[Nika L. Burduli @realnikaburduli]

@ThePoiluProject Thanks, wasn’t aware of this one, actually. Would you say the same, or something similar has been the case in 1940? If so, was the defeat against Germany simply a result of poor decisions? Thanks in advance!

[Nika L. Burduli @realnikaburduli]

@BovrilG Glad to have you back with these. Impressive. [5 seconds of silence] Thanks!

@VakarisSan In Georgia it's not about where they campaign. The problem is what they campaign on. 14 years and they can't still understand that abstract "European future" may not be so imporant for a guy who struggles to pay bills.

@discotune Спасибо, это шедеврально

[Nika L. Burduli @realnikaburduli]

@bnzchr Dunno about the boomers, but surprisingly many younger people who are into politics, at least in Eastern Europe and Georgia specifically, also have this awkward admiration for the modern European buffoons, such as Johnson, Kallas, Macron & others for god knows what reasons.

[Nika L. Burduli @realnikaburduli]

@BovrilG You have a real talent — this & other Nixon posts have been great

[Nika L. Burduli @realnikaburduli]

@loveaissu А должны. По их логик, ЕС = хорошо, поэтому любое улучшение отношений с Грузией они должны поддержать, даже если не нравится правительство.

@JohnWakefieId By the way, Hitler winning the presidency is a quite interesting alternative history scenario. Can't even think of anything he'd done differently, though.

Armenia's Prime Minister has shared our piece on what's behind his viral TikToks with pop music like Lady Gaga and Adele... read it too https://t.co/2oRLGxoVwl?

@TimPBouverie I remember reading the first one. Truly awesome. Looking forward to getting a copy of the new one

[Nika L. Burduli @realnikaburduli]

@StoleYourJet Поздравляю!
