The scary part of impeaching Trump is that Canada will have a Pence-led US to contend with. Pence is dangerously right wing Christian and more intelligent than Trump-a dangerous combination.

What you are saying is true, but when Trump is successfully impeached and prosecuted, Pence will be more more hesitatant to take extreme action. The acts will make it clear to him that there are limits.

I live in Florida. One has to remember that prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the Republican Party was so weak in Florida that there was not even a Republican primary. The Republican party in Florida is ruled by racism and by the culture of greed.

wordywalt replies on Jan 15, 2019:

@F-IM-Forty Correct in some ways. Prior to 1964, the Republican party was the party of Lincoln. Today it is the party of greed, corruption, ethnocentrism and right wing ideologues.

wordywalt replies on Jan 7, 2019:

@HankFox You are full of it, fellow. I read everything that Ayn Rand ever wrote and analyzed her work very thoroughly over the years. People like you are prone to making disparaging comments about others who disagree with you. Her work is appealing until one, through thorough analysis, determines what she is really saying and why she is saying tr. Let me add that it was in my youth, when I was self-centered and did not like to be told what to do even when it was correct and best for me, that I found Rand interesting. Ayn Rand true believers are ;people who have not yet or have failed to mature intellectually and morally, and remain self-centered.
