After we take the House in Jan 19, Trump will probably be impeached by the House, but not convicted by the Senate. So he will be around for another 2 years to veto Dem legislation out of vengence, pass executive orders that stink and punish. But his wings will be clipped. He will posture and rant and continue to embarrass us and degrade the Presidency.

So after 2018, that is the time for our Dem stars to declare candidacy for Senate seats, governorships, and the WH. It will be a time to present a Dem vision for a domestic and international agenda. It will also be a time to emphasize civility, decency, integrity, and personal honor. Wouldn't that sound sweet for a change?

Trump's brand is trash. If his kids are facing criminal prosecution, it will be very difficult for them to ever get loans to play real estate. Plus there's all those NY, NJ, and VA state charges that are not going away.

Personally, I almost feel sorry for the lot of them. Wasted lives every one. Degenerate people ending in ignominy. With their privileges and assets, they could have lived virtuous lives and accomplished great things that were of benefit to others. But no, they chased after money, privilege, and fame.

Dan 1:28 - "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin" - The handwriting on the wall at Belshazzar's feast. Roughly translated as Beshazzar's kingdom having been weighed and measured, it was found wanting, and thus given away Medes and Persians. The hand, having written, moves on.
