When hillary called the rest of us a basket of deplorables, I thought it was somewhat clever and was mildly amused. But now I think back to Agnew's description of the left and the media as "Nattering nabobs of negativism, I see that as a great intellectual divide between the violent left and the sophisticated right!

Agnew was probably the biggest crook to have an office in the White House (He was undisputed prior to this administration). He made a deal so that he was only charged with tax offenses, and as a result, most people things that's all it was, but he was receiving bags of money in his WH office.

Well, of course!
What's the use of being a right wing Republican whacko if you can't get away with abuses like his ilk?
It's like coming up with a book of philosophical sayings by Dahmer.

"sophisticated right"?

What makes you think tat the right is sophisticated?

Those "deplorables" have more than earned the nick name given to them during the 2016 campaign!

He was a crook, and was punished for it. That doesn't discount his erudite description of the media.

Spiro Agnew convicted felon, run out of office like a diseased dog. Replaced by Gerald Ford, pardoner of three

time felon Nixon.

“I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon.” Jerry Ford

Mr DJT will NEVER say anything Ford-like about his pardon of seven felony convict Roger Stone.

The perverse symmetry of the ... "sophisticated right!"

Actually Ford pardoned Nixon for any crimes which Nixon MIGHT have committed against the United States.

But in reality, Nixon was NEVER CONVICTED of any crime!

Nixon wasn't even impeached! He got close, but he House of Representatives never completed the impeachment process. The GOP, was so concerned with the evidence which had been collected that Senior members of the GOP went to Nixon and advised Nixon to resign, which Nixon did.

trump WAS IMPEACHED, that's the difference between Nixon and trump!

You support shooting the president because you do not like him?

Gee don't leave out your Barry O. Afterall he pardoned a t*****r and a deserter who got people k**led. Do you think he pardoned Chelsea Manning because he was a crossdresser? Did he pardon Bo Bergdahl because he wanted to join ISIS. Somehow I think Trump pardoning Stone is very very pale in comparison to Bary O's pardons. Now prove me wrong.

Obama did not pardon Manning, but commuted her sentence.

Obama did not pardon Bergdahl, allowing his court-martial to continue under the Trump admin. He plead guilty and completed his sentence.

Not sure which one you meant by "got people k**led", but neither did.

Bergdahl by his action of deserting got a person in the search party k**led. I think you need to read a little more. Barry O traded him for 5 Taliban leaders. Commuting Manning's sentence. Still let out a t*****r in the Military to prance around in his dress. after changing his/her g****r.

I think you need to read less propaganda and more facts.

The deaths occurred weeks after Bergdahl's disappearance, with pretty much every military death in the area in teh next four months being blamed on him. But the Army's investigations did not report that any of these men were on a mission to look for him.

Oh please, Biden occupied that office and his drug idled son made countless millions over the course of his two terms by selling his fathers influence over US policy, it has been documented.
