Hello Mitchell-Stans. Sorry for the hiatus.

I’d like to issue a formal apology to @giveemhell-leonbaby for my past shipping views relating to our babygirl Leon. I started this blog with a judicial prejudice that Leon would not be proud of. I now recognize my closed-mindedness and regret that I hadn’t reflected on my own political biases as someone previously raised and committed to the mid-20th century Republican party.

Following this revelation, I’ve taken it upon myself to consult the primary sources relating to Leon’s correspondences and relationships, and I’ve come to the conclusion that my surface-level sources detailing Nix*n and Leon’s relationship lacked the proper context and research that ought to supplement such serious claims about Leon’s intimate life. @giveemhell-leonbaby had not falsified the truths when detailing the toxic nature of leonix*n’s dynamic. I apologize for any misgivings I had held prior to this post; giveemhell has done nothing but cement their character of “frankness and candor”, as Leon would say.

I swear to do better in future endeavors and to hold truth to its highest standards before forming opinions. “No one is above the law.” I hope this post can mark the beginning of my journey towards real repentance. That’s all.

looking forward to making more content in the future for y’all!!!🥰🥰🌊

*o,o

Road Trip

On November 8, 1960, millions of Americans went to the polls in what would become one of the closest Presidential elections in American History: John Fitzgerald Kennedy versus Richard Milhous Nixon.

That morning, Kennedy voted in Boston and Nixon voted in Whittier, California. The candidates had spent months canvassing the nation, working to get every last vote – and every last vote was needed. For the past several weeks, Kennedy and Nixon had criss-crossed the country, debated one another, and been working non-stop to be elected the 35th President of the United States.

After they voted that day, there were results to monitor, precincts to watch, election day problems to take care of, and many other things to worry about. Imagine being on the cusp of the Presidency – with a 50/50 chance of being elected the next President of a superpower in the grip of the Cold War, with the threat of Communism and nuclear weapons hanging over your head, and the hopes of hundreds of millions of people pinned on either your victory or defeat. Imagine being in the position of John F. Kennedy or Richard Nixon on November 8, 1960. What would you do?

John F. Kennedy put the control of his campaign in the hands of his younger brother, Bobby, and then took a nap.

And Richard Nixon took a road trip to Mexico.

Once Nixon voted that morning at a private home in a quiet Whittier neighborhood, he had been scheduled to head to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles (where Bobby Kennedy would be assassinated eight years later) for the Election Day vigil and the long wait for the returns which would indicate whether he would be moving into the White House or facing an early retirement.

Nixon was finished voting by 8:00 AM and hopped into his black Cadillac limousine to be driven to the Ambassador. Several blocks away from the polling place, Nixon ordered the limousine to stop. Along with a military aide and a Secret Service agent, Nixon jumped out of the limo and into a white convertible follow-up car driven by an officer from the Los Angeles Police Department. Nixon took the LAPD officer’s place, got behind the wheel and ditched the press which had been following him.

Driving to La Habra, California, Nixon made a quick visit with his mother, making sure she had voted for her son in the Presidential election. Nixon drove south along the Pacific Coast Highway, with no specific destination. He stopped for gasoline in Oceanside and told a gas station attendant – startled to see the Vice President of the United States on a joyride on the very day that he stood for election as President – “I’m just out for a little ride." Nixon confided that it was his only source of relaxation.

As the group of four men, with Nixon in the driver’s seat, reached San Diego – over two hours away from Nixon’s campaign headquarters at L.A.’s Ambassador Hotel – Nixon pointed out that he hadn’t been to Tijuana in at least 25 years.

As David Pietrusza wrote in his recap of Nixon’s road trip, "Richard Nixon – the ultimate control freak – was winging it on the most important day of his life." Not only that, but the sitting Vice President of the United States and the man who many Americans were choosing to become the next President, impulsively decided to leave the entire country while those voters were still at the polls.

In Tijuana, Nixon and his party headed to a restaurant called Old Heidelberg. Despite the fact it was owned by a German, Border Patrol agents told Nixon that it was the best place in Tijuana for Mexican food. Joined at the last moment by Tijuana’s Mayor, Xicotencati Leyva Aleman, Nixon, his military aide, a Secret Service agent, and an average LAPD officer ate enchiladas in Mexico while John F. Kennedy took a nap in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

When Nixon’s press secretary Herb Klein was asked about the missing candidate, he had to tell reporters that Nixon often took some private moments on hectic days such as Election Day. Really, though, Klein had no clue where Nixon was, eventually admitting that the Vice President was "driving around without any destination”.

After lunch in Tijuana, Nixon and his companions headed back north towards the United States border crossing. The LAPD officer took over driving duties as Nixon sat in the convertible’s passenger seat. A shocked Border Patrol guard shook hands with the Vice President and asked the man who was currently on the ballot for the Presidency, “Are you all citizens of the United States?”.

Nixon and company drove to the Mission of San Juan Capistrano, which Nixon called “one of my favorite Catholic places” on the day he faced the first successful Catholic candidate for the Presidency in American History. Nixon took his three companions on a quick, informal tour of the Mission. “For a few minutes, we sat in the empty pews for an interlude of complete escape,” Nixon later recalled.

The missing candidate and his three road trip buddies arrived back in Los Angeles before the election results started rolling in. Nixon had to explain his trip to reporters who had been searching for him all day. “It wasn’t planned. We just started driving and that’s where we wound up.”

In his Memoirs, Nixon didn’t go too far into explaining why he escaped on Election Day, but a paragraph about that day is pretty illuminating:

“After one last frenetic week, it was over. Since the convention in August I had traveled over 65,000 miles and visited all fifty states. I had made 180 scheduled speeches and delivered scores of impromptu talks and informal press conferences. There was nothing more I could have done.”

Except escape to Mexico while JFK slept.

Poem I Won't Ever Show My Republican Family

I'm alive and well in New Jersey with Richard Milhous Nixon

He regrets a lot and his arthritis is almost as bad as my syphilis Except that I don't have syphilis, I have arthritis. I think he's

trying to find himself in the Other and the Other is me in this case; I keep sending Tricky Dick my favorite Midwest Emo Mixtapes but he doesn't bite

Bite me on the shoulder as we make love, Richard Milhous Nixon; send more bombs to Cambodia, the far-off Cambodia of your dreams, your nightmares; you're crazy, I'm crazy The world will explode as we reach some kind of high point

Does Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. count as a “Watergate baby” Democrat? After 2 years on the New Castle County Council he won a U.S. Senate seat in 1972 on the same ticket where Richard Milhous Nixon and Spiro Theodore Agnew won Delaware along with 48 other states? Maybe I'm wrong, but his 1972 win was a bit unexpected? Next time on the ballot was 1978 midterms when Republicans netted a 3-seat gain in the U.S. Senate.

As the then-youngest Senator in America, Biden was once the uncrowned king of the Watergate babies. Like them, he pioneered the social liberal, fiscal conservative brand of politics that would become the forerunner to the "Atari Democrats" of the 1980s and then the "New Democrats" of the 1990s.

It's a major reason why he ran for president in 1988.
