(14,344 posts)While certainly possible and widely expected, I am holding out hope Mueller knows how dirty Pence is and unseals an indictment at just the right moment that makes him ineligible and gives us President Pelosi. I am well aware this scenario is in mind due partly to my own wishful thinking, but it is nonetheless possible and the only way forward for our country I can see in these dark times.

(1,997 posts)about 2016 being a fraudulent - yes, STOLEN - election and do whatever is in their power to minimize the damage. While the Cons would obviously fight hard against this, it is important for the Trump administration to go down in history as illegitimate, as an acknowledgement that Americans realized the threat we were facing to our Democracy.
Even just several house votes to this end would at least be recorded as some move in the direction of American principles and morality. In this era, it is dangerous to fall back on the premise that weve never reversed an election in our history, as everything happening now is unprecedented.
