I can understand the impetus for not wanting to impeach Trump, but...

...I wonder what shape our country will be in two more years? We have changed a lot in the first two years.

Crime and corruption have become much more acceptable. They are more tolerable than the alternative.

Where will we be in two more years?

Are we losing something that we can never re-gain?

We need to let Trump be the Republican Party in the next election if at all possible. Pence would do just as much harm as Trump and if it looks like Pence might go down he will resign and Trump will appoint someone else that is more "acceptable" to the ignorant voters but will still do a great deal of harm and possibly be elected in 2020. Very complicated situation. Most Republicans have no idea what is going on with Trump and his evil. They would cause mayhem if Trump were to be attacked by impeachment by the House.

Patience is called for. We are badly wounded as a nation but let's don't turn the wound into a mortal one.

They've been applying the brakes to the Trump organization. I'm not a fatalist. Our many victories all over the country last November strengthens my faith in our institutions.

Yesterday I heard that Ivanka is getting or has received trademarks for Chinese voting machines. I don't know if the machines are for exclusive use in China. But it smells bad.

The struggle continues.
