1. Things have certainly changed since 1952:

The graphics are a lot better - and the Republican lies, a lot more brazen.

Thanks for finding this. Great retrospective.

3. There's something creepy about seeing them all spliced together

On the whole, the clips did not make me feel much respect for the office. Some things never change.

5. Politics is a dirty business.

7. I'm surprised our intelligence agencies have let this treason go on for this long

Perhaps they see it as a unique opportunity to run a real-world experiment on what would happen if the Russians (or any other foreign power) installed a plant in the White House.

Well, I imagine by now they've come to the same conclusion that you, I, and most others here on DU have:

That there's nothing said plant wouldn't stoop to.

8. I almost feel relief when he's out of the country

It's chaos and drama non-stop when he's here.

I can't believe our institutions of government could so fail us.

9. He's probably mulling asking Argentina for asylum as we speak

Although his old pal Macri, whose Bush-style policies have led to a Bush-style collapse, only has a year left in office.

I guess it's 'Russia or Bust' for our friend Cheeto.

2. Looking forward to the ads Democrats make when Trump finally releases his tax returns

"You work hard to make a living, but you pay more taxes thab Donald Trump ever did.

4. In that breathy whisper they use

like they are sharing a secret with us.
