8. Still brilliant after all these years!

Loved Dan Rather’s work for years.

Anybody remember that Nixon White House news conference during which Dan Rather asked a very pointed question. Nixon was getting annoyed by then and snapped at Dan Rather with “are you running for something?” And Dan Rather didn’t miss a beat. “No, sir. Are you?”

Shit, I still remember that AND how almost electrified I felt at that moment. NOBODY had ever even slightly dared to talk back to The President before that. But the walls were really starting to close in on Nixon, and anybody would be right to guess it was starting to get to him.

Way before I was old enough to pursue a career, I still remember feeling like “um… SOMETHING REALLY SERIOUS is happening here…” regarding then-President Nixon.

Trump sycophants and supporters - not so much.

10. And rats act in their own self interest

unlike MAGAs committing economic and national suicide by voting for krasnov.
