Good. We could use a stronger Congress, and more than that, Trump really is unable to act a President. This morning's tweet is one of many things that makes that very obvious.

I've never really been a fan of impeachment or this, because I think Pence would be worse and more effective in implementing a conservative agenda.

Not that Ryan and McConnell would let their God-Emperor be removed from office...

Much as I despise Pence, I can think of worse.

World War III.

For a while, I was thinking that ANYONE would be better than Trump, but I'm slowly losing that conviction. Don't get me wrong - he deserves to be impeached or otherwise legally forced from office. Politics aside, he is grossly unfit to do the job on any level. But I'm increasingly skeptical that an ambitious talk-radio host who puts his born-again "Christian" faith over everything else (including common sense and functioning in society) is going to be any better, just differently worse.

Of course, Pence probably ought to be impeached / legally booted as well, given how he lied to cover for Flynn. (Doubtless he has some convoluted rationale to explain why bearing false witness was okay in this case.) Which would give us President Ryan - an intermittently devout conservative Catholic and Randian from the same school of Republican "thought" than gave us Sam Brownback's Kansas.

Trump is a symptom. The damage he is doing needs to be stopped and healed. But getting him out of office isn't going to do a darned thing to *fix* the problems that lead to him. America has a host of very real problems that need to be addressed. And as a separate issue, the anti-intellectual, anti-freedom, anti-citizen, un-American GOP needs to be utterly discredited, disgraced, and dis-empowered. (Not that the Dems aren't dysfunctional on their own.)
