Richard Nixon Is ‘Hot’ Again

Nixonmaxxing is a thing…

He’s tanned, rested and ready — and he’s been dead for 32 years.

The Hollywood Reporter–Amazingly, Richard Nixon, the most nefarious American political personality of the 1970s, appears to be making a comeback, at least online. It’s being called Nixonmaxxing, and it involves a series of slickly edited social media videos that cut archival Nixon footage to rap tracks and turn the 37th president into the sort of stone-cold, sigma male-style antihero that Gen Z bros can’t get enough of these days.

As it turns out, the videos are the work of the Richard Nixon Foundation, a Yorba Linda, California-based nonprofit founded in 1983 — by Nixon himself — that has long been dedicated to protecting Tricky Dick’s public image. Which they’ve now apparently decided should look something like Walton Goggins in a Tarantino pic.

“Crooked Hillary” Moniker Sticks Like Glue

The “Tricky Dicky” Nixon moniker stuck and was reaffirmed by Nixon’s resignation. My theory is that Hillary Clinton owns the handle “Crooked Hillary” and, who knows, if elected, the result could be deja vu all over again. 

Here’s what Glenn Reynolds says in the USA Today’s, “‘Crooked Hillary’ nickname isn’t going away“.

The new FBI information suggests Clinton is either criminal, criminally incompetent or both.

Hillary_NixonDonald Trump likes to call his opponent, Hillary Clinton, “Crooked Hillary.” There’s even a #CrookedHillary hashtag on Twitter. Meanwhile, Hillary seems to be doing her best to make that nickname stick.

When FBI Director James Comey declined to prosecute the former Secretary of State for mishandling classified information, he said that although she was extremely Nixon_Not_A_Crook_Todays_Standardscareless, there was no criminal intent. That was a bit iffy, since the statute governing mishandling of classified information doesn’t require intent. But the new information indicates that Hillary is either criminal, or criminally incompetent. Or maybe both.
