As they say... maybe, impeachment right now let's him off the hook. Maybe, they are banking on the Mueller investigation.

for any replacement candidate to pick up momentum.

Okay, that's polishing a turd, I know, but it could actually work out well.

Greed and power have taken the helm and successfully preyed on fear and hatred to advance their agendas.

There are no longer 3 REAL branches of government, IMO. There are no longer any checks and balances.

Our system has become impotent and essentially nonexistent.

I think it's our time in the barrel and our country is pretty much doomed.

On that cheery note,

ETA (OT): RIP, Hal Blaine. Let him rest from his labors.
