Yes, but the fact would remain--the people got upset and organized sufficiently to impeach a president for policies we could not live with. It's a line Pence would be aware of, as he would be aware of the public will to do the same to him were he to cross that line.
I know I said a few weeks ago I'd rather have random 45 and take chances *somebody* would keep his finger off the button, than have Pence's dedicated and effective onslaught of human rights. But with Bannon driving 45 (don't say the name--it adds to his power, in some secret bunker where machines are scanning the internet and counting the number of times the name appears), the "rip them all down" attack on civilization is scarier than the cranky four-year-old who's both irregular and overdue for a nap. Put 45 and his puppet master aside, and Pence will be at least somewhat restrained, not only by knowledge of what happened to his predecessor, but by the reps still dedicated to public good having their heart and determination bolstered by the public's action.
Or that's my Pollyanna dream, anyway.
I also never thought there'd be a day where I'd sit here and think "Gee, I wish Mitt Romney were President right now", but we have indeed reached that day.
Right? I never, EVER thought I would miss that sadistic moron George W. Bush, but here we are.
Amen to all y'all. I have gone past anger and am just in WOW land. Numb and unable to deal.
I'm sure it's Pence and Bannon dictating policy right now anyway. Get rid of 45, you get rid of Bannon (I can't see Pence influenced by a Wormtongue), and Pence and Ryan will have to be at least somewhat more restrained in their reshaping the country into a white man's 1950s wet dream.
Okay, that's enough hoptoads and lizards for one day. I'ma shut up, now.
Pence wouldn't be up in the middle of the night offending world leaders on Twitter. And I don't think he's bragged about sexually assaulting women.
Pence and Ryan can do a lot of harm, but I don't think they will be best buds with Putin, or nuke Iran. Maybe. They should at least have better spelling and grammar.
I'm so mad I can't even talk right. In a world where DeVos is EdSec and Pence/Ryan is the BETTER choice, I'm gonna have to drink and curse a lot more, and maybe run for office.
Wait, there was a tornado in New Orleans today? I'm just seeing this. Are all our NOLA people okay?
I'm gonna have to drink and curse a lot more, and maybe run for office.
Good plan! Well 2 out of 3 anyway. Still deciding which 2.
