I agree with everything you've said here. I'm just not necessarily convinced that Dianne Feinstein was privy to any discussions to that effect (though for all I know she very well may have been), or that Mike Pence would be any less nightmarish a prospect. But I certainly wouldn't miss him if he were gone, and as you point out there's a strong (and ever-growing) case for his removal from office. If history is any indication, someone needs to arrange an "extra-marital servicing of the presidential apparatus" so to speak in order to expedite that whole process...Some Guy in Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060966365329157247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219836196183200787.post-85363360384009810232017-03-23T02:47:45.499-07:002017-03-23T02:47:45.499-07:00I certainly agree that the prospect of President P...I certainly agree that the prospect of President Pence is not exactly inspiring. Also, I am aware of Feinstein's record, and have been less than impressed, like you. That said, Trump has flouted not only tradition when it comes to the presidency, but also the law. He has openly lied and recklessly flung accusations regarding both massive voter fraud and wiretapping by a former president. He lied numerous times, including about making Mexico pay for the wall, and how convincing his election win was, about covering everyone with what his healthcare changes would be, about his own denial of climate change (although he sure is acting like he does not believe in it), and about releasing his tax records, and separating himself from his business interests. He has taken a blase attitude about his own blatant disregard of the conflicts of interest arising from his keeping his business interests while holding the highest office. I am not convinced, like many Democrats apparently are, that the whole Russia thing is a knock out punch, although there clearly is more going on then members of the Trump administration are willing to admit. He seems to make a point of antagonizing allies, such as Australia, Mexico, and Germany. The list goes on and on, and again, some of it, at the very least, bends, if not outright breaks, the law. He needs to be held accountable, if for nothing more than to send a message to the next would be supreme narcissist, that there are indeed limits to things, and that the whole Teflon president thing has limits, too! So, while I am not exactly waiting with bated breath for impeachment, I would welcome it, or any serious investigations into his conduct, and any ramifications that come from it. Also, if he happened to resign from the pressure, I think that would be a sobering slap in the face to all of his blind supporters and fans.The Charbor Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834960856531538870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219836196183200787.post-83823720277252619162017-03-22T18:15:52.909-07:002017-03-22T18:15:52.909-07:00I have mixed feelings about that on at least two c...I have mixed feelings about that on at least two counts. First off, I wonder if "Dianne 'Banker butt licker Margaret Thatcher' Feinstein - the dragon lady with no fucking heart" (Eric Boucher reference) was actually privy to any discussions that would authenticate that claim, or if she's merely blowing a lot of speculative hot air, much like former South Korean president Park Geun-hye when she [erroneously] predicted the imminent demise of the North Korean regime. Then there's the fact that as much as I obviously loathe the Cheetoh in Chief, "President Mike Pence" is soul-crushingly, terrifyingly grim prospect in its own right.Some Guy in Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060966365329157247noreply@blogger.com
