All the President's Men | Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein

Donald Trump has Swiss cheese where his brain ought to be. To flagrantly supercede congress in an open hostile act, likely causing a war he won't live long enough to see. Illegal, unconscionable, and Un American. More below.

thebacklistbook The ramifications of this knee jerk decision will be felt for hundreds of years. A good proportion of my education is in political science and cultural anthropology. I am qualified to say this. We are screwed. The only saving grace now is if cooler heads prevail in Iran. 5d

dabbe “Cooler heads” in Iran? No wonder I‘m beyond terrified. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🎯🩵🎯 4d

kspenmoll Itis, he is, horrifying. He is putting the world at risk. 3d

All the President's Men | Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein

I knew about the break-in and the tapes but had no idea of the extent of crimes and unethical behavior coming out of Nixon‘s White House. It‘s amazing they got away with it as long as they did. I had a little trouble keeping track of the names. Virtually all the players were men which shouldn‘t surprise me given the time period. I watched the movie before reading the book. Might watch it again. 🐘😡😖

TheBookHippie It was immense…he should have never been pardoned IMO. 5mo

Sparklemn @TheBookHippie I agree! 5mo

Five Presidents: My Extraordinary Journey with Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford | Clint Hill, Lisa McCubbin

pick

If you love history, memoirs, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into powerful lives, Clint Hill's Five Presidents is a must-read—or in my case, a must-listen! As a former Secret Service agent, Hill's experiences with presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford are recounted with extraordinary detail. Hill's perspective offers a mix of reverence, heartbreak, and raw honesty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚

I have always been fascinated by the Watergate scandal, and this book reminds me of the days of excellent reporting and research in the search for truth. Every time I read it, I learn something new.

TheSpineView I read this in high school. 8mo

dabbe @TheSpineView #metoo! And saw the movie. I've read it multiple times since (and seen the movie ... #hubbahubba RR!) 8mo

TheSpineView @dabbe I loved the movie. 8mo

peaKnit Loved this movie, we picked it apart in my college White Collar Crime class. 8mo

dabbe @TheSpineView 🧡🍁🤎 8mo

dabbe @peaKnit Where was this class when I was in college? I would have loved to have taken it! 🤩 8mo

BookmarkTavern I‘ve seen the movie, but I‘ve never read the book. I definitely should do that. Thanks for answering! 8mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe my neighbor took us on a boat ride today and we went past the Watergate. The urge to re-read this is strong right now! 8mo

dabbe @BookmarkTavern It's so good! YW! 🤩😂🤗 8mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Okay, how cool is that? Perfect timing for a reread, too! 🤩😂🤗 8mo

peaKnit It was at UW-Whitewater (Wisconsin) I had a criminal justice minor. I wish true crime podcasts were invented in the early 90‘s, I was true crime before it was cool 🤣 8mo

dabbe @peaKnit My fascination with true crime goes back to Ted Bundy. Who killed multiple women, including two of them at Chi Omega Sorority at FSU. I was a Chi Omega at U of A in the mid 1980s. We all had to sleep on a sleeping porch together BECAUSE of TB. We weren't allowed to sleep alone. Ever. 😱 8mo

DogMomIrene @peaKnit Want to audit that class! 8mo

peaKnit Omg, Ted Bundy sparked my interest in crime. I feel like I know everything there is to know about him and get so excited when I learn a new nugget. How scary though being in college, and the same sorority that was victimized, at that time, he was absolutely unhinged when he went to Florida. The most complete psychopath I have ever learned about. Have you read Bright Young Women? (edited) 8mo

dabbe @peaKnit Nope. It's now on the TBR! 🤩 8mo
