I can make peace with President Pence. The clown needs to be impeached.

he would actually work with Lyin' Ryan and Turtleman to end Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Affordable Care Act, and many other programs that benefit ALL Americans.

Fuck Pence. tRump is the leader of the Country and the Repubican party and can't lead jack shit.

who's worse, honestly. Trump is a threat to our national security, but also to our domestic goals (as a rubber stamp). Pence wants a cruel theocracy, but he'd probably handle himself in a more dignified manner on the international stage.

to push their agenda. Pence has to go. He knows more than he lets on. Far more. In fact he might be one who is pushing the levers right now. He is calculating and evil.

So we need to be careful of what we wish for. At least for right now the Trump mess has frozen Congress.

From what I understand/ the sitting president has to be incapacitated. while Trump is mentally deranged; I think the founders meant it for someone who is in a coma, or so Ill they cannot mentally function. He will likely resign like Nixon did so he is not impeached.

Bad choice of words since I know it was related to Kennedy being shot. The point remains the same though. I should have said "congress at the time"
