... until after the election, so LBJ couldn't take credit for a peace treaty. That move alone cost many thousands of lives.

They did not call him tricky dick for nothing.. The Pentagon papers pointed finger at a lot of guilty people on both sides.......... just to make a political win and not be the prez who lost a war..
" Under John F. Kennedy, the U.S. government transformed its policy towards Vietnam from a limited "gamble" to a broad "commitment"
the Johnson Administration "systematically lied, not only to the public but also to Congress"
" the Nixon White House had ordered the so-called White House Plumbers to engage in unlawful efforts to discredit Ellsberg"

I was thinking the same thing. That was Trump level incompetence. Republicans in power tend to bring a whole lot of death and destruction.

When a party is taken over by hacks, with no talents or skills other than deceit and money grubbing, this is exactly what you get. Any competence in that party has long since died off or been driven away. It's now the greatest collection of fools, cons and lunatics in American political history.

I’d like to read the history when it’s written later, about the entire republican party AND its voters, who have the common element of consuming large amounts of right wing propaganda.

The documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad, showed the deterioration of her Dad’s character, caused by a steady, exclusive diet of fux spewz. Great movie if you’re interested in the psychological impacts of CONservative propaganda on one individual.

Here comes President Kill again,
Surrounded by all of his killing men.
Telling us who, why, where and when,
President Kill wants killing again.

Hooray, ring out the bells,
King Conscience is dead.
Hooray, now back in your cells,
We've President Kill instead.

Here comes President Kill again.
Broadcasting from his killing den.
Dressed in pounds and dollars and yen,
President Kill wants killing again.

Hooray, hang out the flags,
Queen Caring is dead.
Hooray, we'll stack body bags,
For President Kill instead.

Ain't democracy wonderful?
Them Russians can't win!
Ain't democracy wonderful?
Lets us vote someone like that in.

Here comes President Kill again,
from pure White House to Number 10.
Taking lives with a smoking pen,
President Kill wants killing again.

Hooray, everything's great,
Now President Kill is dead.
Hooray, I'll bet you can't wait,
To vote for President Kill instead...

Such hypocrites...but the pro-birth game is just a sham. They honestly couldn't care less about the fetus...but IT'S A VOTE WINNER the the evangelical, KKKistian, simple minded and manipulated.

The are the party of death and destruction. There is some enabling by a FEW Democrats...but nothing like the lock step GOPutin party establishment.

And his horrible mishandling of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Lots of Americans died needlessly because they were more interested in laughing about gay folks than saving lives.
