https://theintercept.com/2016/11/15/mike-pence-will-be-the-most-powerful-christian-supremacist-in-us-history/Focus on the future , folks.. Since Hillary won both the EC and popular vote (yes, sorry to break it to you but there is no way the Russians planted agents here for decades, some even being born here, then come upon a compromised idiot to do their bidding in the form of Trump and then left it up to US to decide the election? no way in hell...hacking machines by on the ground russian agents in postiions like election board members and so on...sounds outrageous? think about it for a while...No, Hillary did not lose those states)
But, since the election was stolen, and since it is becoming clear Trump is likely to be going, look at who will take his place.

And if Pence goes, who is next? Paul "I am gonna get your Social Security if it kills me" Ryan.
THE ELECTION OF Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the souls of compassionate, humane people across the country and the world. Horror that a candidate who ran on a platform of open bigotry, threats against immigrants and Muslims, and blatant misogyny will soon be president is now sinking in. Trump appointed a white nationalist, Steve Bannon, as chief White House strategist which was promptly celebrated by the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. Bannon and other possible extremist Trump appointees, such as John Bolton, a neocon who believes the U.S. should bomb Iran, and the authoritarian Rudy Giuliani, are now receiving much deserved public scrutiny.
The incoming vice president, Mike Pence, has not elicited the same reaction, instead often painted as the reasonable adult on the ticket, a counterbalance to Trump and a bridge to the establishment. However, there is every reason to regard him as, if anything, even more terrifying than the president-elect.

(43,219 posts)He'll forever be associated with Trump, whether he likes it or not, and that's going to seriously impair his ability to get things done through 2020, when hopefully we can boot him out as well.

"Ineffective do nothing presidency"
Propaganda
And now the
"Pence will be a nightmare" approach?
Now boys and girls maybe we should just sit back and relax ...
Do we really want to get rid of the current situation only to have it replaced by someone even more horrible?
Let's all be thankful that we have 45
and stop all this investigating & protesting & resisting....
Because if you keep pursuing this Russian Collusion/ Election Interference..... you just might end up with Pence or Ryan...
and we don't want that now do we?
FUCK THAT NONSENSE!!!
