I hate to sound like a dick but I told you so, Ho.

This was a joyful find last week. I didn’t post it because I figured I’d be about 50th in line but it’s not getting the play it deserves so–

In any case, I do want to ask your honest, sober opinion on the following question:
Do you think Donald Trump will face any kind of serious Impeachment effort in the coming months? Are you in any way/shape/form inclined to think it would be a good or useful thing, long term, if something like the most robust and documentent impeachment effort and ouster of a sitting American president were to take place? Why or why not?
[You're the only friend I have (sadly) that would actually take up a conversation like this seriously. We've touched the subject before but it was way before the DOJ got it's fingers on people like Manafort and Flint, and before all the latest insane Tweets...]
[Sed · I think substances are between you and what atheist me calls God. Never judgement there. I may have missed a message or two. I've been deep in a couple projects and work. Trump is such a can of worms. As far as being a monster goes, I think he's garden variety and so far much less bad than the last two. I can't get worked up like I used to. I actually, no lie, got so worked up about Clinton and the US back in the 90s that I expatriated. Couldn't make it stick. The office is the problem really. I would LOVE to see Trump impeached and removed but then Pence would probably be worse. Part of why HRC definitely would have been worse is she is extremely adept at this game and could have got away with shittons of evil and, unlike Trump, she'd have the press lick her clean. Trump's an A–Z buffoon. Impeaching and removing him wouldn't fix the office. And like I said, the office is the problem. Everyone would write it off as: "Well, what did you expect?! It was HIM." And the next time impeachment came up… Why? S/he's not that bad, not like HIM. Obama should have been impeached and removed for the wars and assassinating Americans. Bush should have for the lies and the wars; and Cheney should have been turned over to an international court. Clinton should have been for Waco and various international issues. Etc. We have zero standards as a nation. We treat the office like a King and the office has begun to think of that way too. In that regard, Trump is the worst since FDR. He never doubts his kingship. I'm of the mind that a President should be impeached for any failing at work, in ethics, in performance… I'd probably flush 40 of the crew if I could.]

There was once a Wolf who got very little to eat because the Dogs of the village were so wide awake and watchful. He was really nothing but skin and bones, and it made him very downhearted to think of it.
One night this Wolf happened to fall in with a fine fat House Dog who had wandered a little too far from home. The Wolf would gladly have eaten him then and there, but the House Dog looked strong enough to leave his marks should he try it. So the Wolf spoke very humbly to the Dog, complimenting him on his fine appearance.
“You can be as well-fed as I am if you want to,” replied the Dog. “Leave the woods; there you live miserably. Why, you have to fight hard for every bite you get. Follow my example and you will get along beautifully.”
“What must I do?” asked the Wolf.
“Hardly anything,” answered the House Dog. “Chase people who carry canes, bark at beggars, and fawn on the people of the house. In return you will get tidbits of every kind, chicken bones, choice bits of meat, sugar, cake, and much more beside, not to speak of kind words and caresses.”
The Wolf had such a beautiful vision of his coming happiness that he almost wept. But just then he noticed that the hair on the Dog’s neck was worn and the skin was chafed.
“What is that on your neck?”
“Nothing at all,” replied the Dog.
“What! nothing!”
“Oh, just a trifle!”
“But please tell me.”
“Perhaps you see the mark of the collar to which my chain is fastened.”
“What! A chain!” cried the Wolf. “Don’t you go wherever you please?”
“Not always! But what’s the difference?” replied the Dog.
“All the difference in the world! I don’t care a rap for your feasts and I wouldn’t take all the tender young lambs in the world at that price.” And away ran the Wolf to the woods.
Take that, subspace.
