Coming up on Annunciation Day, as it were…

…

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.]
