the rough part of the Epstein thing is that it might make the Trump impeachment unstoppable. say what you like about the eldritch horror that is Nancy Pelosi, she understands that there is absolutely no fucking world where we are better off with Mike fucking Pence in that seat

The reason I’ve never gotten this point of view is because Trump is the only person in my lifetime who has so successfully brainwashed millions of people that there can be no conservative consensus outside of what he says.https://twitter.com/anandwrites/status/1147619825528778754?s=21 …

that's just a feature of effective authoritarian leadership and we'll be seeing it from more quarters, but it at least does not appear that Pence has it in him if Trump gets impeached, well, i certainly hope you're right that it's a good thing

I keep seeing the argument that the House should impeach and let the Senate refuse to convict, but I actually think that's the least likely outcome, and Pence as President would be so bad. He's just as evil but also somewhat competent. Why can't more people see this?

probably because to get people to care you have to encourage them to ridiculously overcathect into a symbolic bad guy and tbh then you only have yourself to blame when they act as if defeating the symbol is the same thing as defeating what it symbolizes
