So if Trump is tossed into hell, we then have Pence [View all]

And if Pence is then tossed into his evangelical, "no abortion, Jeezus" paradise, or wherever, we then have Speaker of the House. That's Paul Ryan who thinks Ayn Rand was "Wonder (wing-nut Republican) Woman."

And after that we then have the virtually senile President pro tempore of the senate, who is currently Orrin Hatch.

And after that we have the various members of Trump's nightmare cabinet members.

Are we are fucked beyond repair?

Then again, in the 2018 elections, and we regain control of the House, the Speaker of the House will be a Dem.

But does anyone really believe that the 2018 election will turn out well? The combination of gerrymandering, voter suppression and Russian bots have made it virtually impossible for Dems to control either house of the congress.

Let me repeat what I said above. Are fucked beyond repair?

Here's the bottom line. Will we, the vast majority of Americans, allow this to continue?

And what are we prepared to do to end it?

Suggestions?
