cheeto is in a league of his own. a unique threat to our whole system.

bad as pence is, he is not even in the same ballpark.
besides which, after an impeachment, i suspect the whole party would be a little more careful about what they try to push.
they seem blissfully unaware that they have no real mandate. but after an impeachment, even a failed one, the party will turn inward, and start picking the flesh off their own carcasses instead of ours.

impeach away people. that is the least we can do to wipe this orange stain from our democracy.
