2. First job...vote in Nov 2018

Sat Oct 13, 2018, 08:24 AM

Oct 2018

If senate remains republican, I doubt it will remove him even if successfully impeached in House. If there are more useful things to do with our energy, that should be more productive.

So wait and see how November election goes. There is a chance senate could turn blue. That changes the paradigm.
