As Donald Trump’s legal challenges multiply, so do comparisons of him to Richard Nixon, the only president ever removed from office.
“How Trump’s Scandals Mimic Watergate,” “Trump Is Going Full Nixon on Mueller” and “Who’s Worse, Trump or Nixon?”
Frequently on MSNBC you’ll hear veterans of the Watergate scandal explaining the parallels the special prosecutor, the witnesses who may “flip,” the possible subpoena of the president.
At the same time, however, prominent liberals, including Democratic Representative and others, are trying to tamp down talk of impeachment.
Democrats had large majorities in both the House and the Senate in July 1974, when the House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of three articles of impeachment. Nixon said he was quitting because he no longer had a “strong enough political base in the Congress.” Watergate was a political story, and a legal one as well..
Stalker...
Most people scoff at the notion of a female stalker. “Oh, you poor guy! Some woman wants to have sex with you!” they will say with sarcasm.
But, these nut jobs can make you feel very unsafe, and makes your guard constantly up.
At best they are merely an annoyance, but no matter what they absolutely will not take no for an answer. It is well documented that a very high percentage of western women have a mental illness, and that number grows every year.
Do not even look at them, let alone speak to them. Mental Health authorities advised not to engage with her in any way as she would be encouraged by any interaction, no matter how negative.
No matter how many times "I told her she was a freak and to leave me the fuck alone", she would always come back for more.
Price...
A coterie of the country’s most powerful and recognizable Democrats gathered to offer their early rebuttal to President Trump’s anticipated address on drug prices.
As one lawmaker put it, the group was “hopeful, but … not optimistic” that Trump would deliver on his early promises to lower prescription drug prices. What they want to see, however, is far broader than anything that top Trump administration officials have hinted at ahead of Trump’s Friday speech.
Where were you guys during Obama's eight years Term? The prices didn't just soar yesterday.

Freeloading...
President Trump will unveil a plan to limit prices on some costly drugs.
The plan will require Medicare Part D plans share a portion of discounts they receive from drug manufacturers with patients. It will include ways to allow the government to better negotiate with manufacturers on prices.
Rebates have become a battleground in the fight over who's to blame for high drug prices. Drugmakers accuse PBMs of profiting off higher list prices because they can negotiate bigger discounts. PBMs say it's manufacturers' fault for setting the high prices in the first place.
Trump's proposal will also seek to limit price increases that are greater than the rate of inflation for drugs covered under Medicare Part B, which covers treatments that patients need to be administered by a physician, the most expensive drugs like cancer treatments.
The administration would address "foreign freeloading," or how patients in other countries typically pay less for drugs than Americans, while U.S. companies invest in research and drug development.

North...
Waving their hands and flashing peace signs, the freed prisoners descended the stairs of their plane, flanked by the president and senior administration officials.
Their return to the United States removed a delicate obstacle as the president prepares to sit down with the North’s leader, Kim Jong-un, for a landmark nuclear summit meeting. But as Mr. Trump basked in the glow of floodlights and TV cameras, he indicated that the most difficult part of the negotiations, which include persuading North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, still lies ahead.
Why were these folks in North Korea?
