House launches formal impeachment inquiry into Trump

[conuly]

Well, great, but can we take out Pence at the same time? (I guess we can't retroactively get rid of the SC justices....)

IKR? (on a related note, have you listed to the podcast Bag Man?)

[conuly]

No...?

[aurumcalendula]

It's about how Agnew ended up resigning - it's fascinating to listen to (he was Nixon's first VP and he pleaded no contest to tax evasion, but there's much more to the story)

[conuly]

Fingers crossed that happens now.

[alexseanchai]

better question: how much of the stuff they're 100% confident is too much for Republicans to tolerate in the name of maintaining their own dominance is Pence provably involved in?

[conuly]

Whatever, can we pin it to him/

[elf]

Even if we can't, Pence has no campaign strategy. He's not registered to run. I don't know what the deadline is for registration, but even if he's not past it, he'd have plenty of opposition.

And he doesn't have P45's connections and cronies; the entire web of corruption would start to fall apart.

(And then we can arrest Pence for whichever of the various crimes he was connected to.)

[conuly]

We've still got more than a year till the election, he can't have passed it.

Apparently Pence is implicated in the attempted coercion of the Ukraine.

😁🌈😁🌈🤣

I love today! This is a good day!

[conuly]

Hallelujah.

[chanter1944]

Is he seriously? That's news to me! I wasn't aware he'd been connected to the latest at all.

[wpadmirer]

Yep. It was in the Washington Post.

No, unfortunately not.

In the unlikely event that Trump was removed from office, wouldn't Pence become...president?

[conuly]

Yeah, AND this term doesn't count for re-election either. But he could resign.

I am so ready to read All The Commentary today.

If we want anything at all to succeed and not get even worse, we've got to get Pence, too, or get him beforehand.
