I want Trump to stay. He's an idiot and a racist and an opportunist. And he knows nothing of governance. And he appoints lackeys who know nothing of governance. His agenda is stalled and thwarted because he is a bully and a bumbler. Pence believes all that Trump does, perhaps more deeply, given his religion. Pence will get a honeymoon. "At last the grownups are in charge". Fucking Democrats will offer an olive branch in the name of civility. Pence knows how to govern. He'll get Trump's agenda done the way Trump can't. I want Trump to stay . Am I wrong?
At this point... Pence's dog would be better as president! I'd like to see him impeached as well as tried and executed for treason! Failing that... Some sort of jail time to see him locked away for a long time!
Yes... I'll take that for my Christmas present!
The one big concern over this scenario is the next in line is PELOSI. Scary thought isn't it.
@commander42 I do not like Pelosi for a variety of reasons. However, I would take her over what we have any day of the week! Everything in moderation. I do not like far right or far left. I like my government in the middle!
Yes, you're wrong because Pence wants to remove the separation of church and state...it's one thing to be against the freedom of the press (First Amendment) but Pence will also attack freedom of religion, that is unless you're a white christian. [andrewgoutman.com]
It's possible Mueller has enough to take them both out and then we have a Pelos presidency.
That's just too much to wish for.
@Dave75 Robert Reich has some thoughts on the matter: [readersupportednews.org]
Trump should stay on until the Democrats find a classical liberal candidate who rejects regressive leftism and identity politics.
I don't like Pence at all, ok? I don't think anyone likes him outside of the donor class. They rode his ass out of Indiana on a rail, and used him to buy the evangelical vote for Mr. Porn Star Stabber. Now we may find out otherwise, but I believe the talking yam is an actual Russian asset deliberately undermining democracy at the behest of a dictator who has him completely compromised financially. I think Pence follows along, but I'm not convinced he's a complete Da Comrade Putinite, and I may be wrong. However, given my level of apprehension at having the CoC fulfilling the role of a foreign agent, I'd reluctantly pick a Pence weakened by the previous administration's scandals and still facing a democratically controlled House. I doubt he'll get a free pass, and I also doubt he'd be an effective agent for the Russkies if it came to that. Maybe yeah, maybe no, but I want the orange wankstain out. So you might be wrong.
My pyramid starts with a man/woman and child. Then it moves on down to people of service and love. As this pyramid hits the very bottom, beneath the leaches, fungus and parasites. Then politics, military and Religion all emerges together, worst than morlocks. Everyone is welcome to their elusions.
Bring on President Pelosi......
Are you f**king nuts?
@commander42 Oh jeez, you should get someone to pull that stick out of your ass and get a sense of humor.....
I feel that Pence would be worse because he does know how to play the game.
His agenda is scarier because he believes he will go to for heaven for the shit he wants to do
It doesn’t matter... TRUMP is as bad as we have ever had and we can not let him get away with it for fear of Pence... deal with Pence when and if that happens. To do anything else is to allow trump to hold you hostage... screw that... Just pick them off as they raise their heads... Democrats are in play now and the Republican agenda will be kept at bay.
Pence does anything (at least on the surface) for the glory of god and NOT for the benefit of the country and it's citizens, and fully believes that god has appointed him to to do just that. Just my opinion.
