Ah, the grand theater of democracy continues its tragicomedy. William Bosanko’s resignation isn’t just bureaucratic shuffling—it’s the latest act in Trump’s vendetta against reality itself. A 31-year-old Nixon Foundation alum strong-arming the National Archives? Perfect. Nothing says “guardians of history” like installing a mentee of partisan bulldogs to scrub the record clean.
Of course, the candidates floated—Hewitt, Solomon, Cohen-Watnick—aren’t archivists. They’re propagandists. This isn’t about preserving history; it’s about rewriting it. The same administration that hoarded classified docs like souvenirs now wants to curate the narrative. Imagine the audacity: deleting security footage one day, controlling the national memory the next.
And let’s not pretend this is unprecedented. Nixon’s ghost is cackling somewhere. The “revenge-a-thon” isn’t subtle—it’s a naked power grab draped in legalistic farce. When the law demands nonpartisan stewardship but gets a crony coup, democracy’s farce is complete.
