WHY WE SHOULD NOT IMPEACH TRUMP AND HOLD OUT FOR HIS INDICTMENT.
If we impeach Trump, the current Vice President Pence will become president.
Pence is a card carrying member of the Alt-right, Evangelical Hypocrite Party.
Pence is a Trump sycophant.
On his recent visit to the Mexican border he not only refuted the inhumane conditions and suffering of other human beings in cages he also did not even acknowledge them and literally turned his back on them as he chatted with his friend Lindsay Graham and other officials. Where in the Bible are we told that Jesus urged his followers to behave this way towards suffering strangers and the downtrodden.
If we impeach Trump, the succeeding President Pence will issue a full pardon and exoneration of the worst criminal who has ever slept in the Whitehouse. Trump, the extreme liar and con man and his evil chilren, will get away completely with all of their crimes past and present.
We should work with ALL of our might to beat Trump in the upcoming election. His defeat will not only stop his dangerous and immoral crime spree but it will also deliver him and the Alt-Right, Evangelical Hypocrite Party to the criminal justice system where he and his family will be indicted, fined and jailed.
What could be a better end to one of the darkest chapters in modern American history?
