Even if Pence is legally implicated in a Trump cluster**** he would still incur his own impeachment proceeding. If Pence lost such proceedings, Paul Ryan is sworn in as the next in succession to the Presidency as he is the House Speaker.

I would not be surprised if/when the sh1t hits the fan with dirt on DJT, a number of high level Republicans will be implicated. Their level of complicity with Trump's actions speak to there being something lurking in the background.
“This is a very energetic effort to pretend we’re doing something significant,” said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), who supported the package but stressed the need to devote greater resources to the opioid fight. “By and large it’s better to do than not, but it falls way short of what is required.”

In many constituencys its a item at the very top of the ballot debate and is seen as far more important to many average American voters than many of the random items discussed as being of importance to US voters by those who are external to the US This is a big win for Republicans as they ramp up their machine for the mid-terms and they will take this strong message out on their campaigns. So it was covered then? Gotcha. And the reason it may have been in the middle pages and not on the front was because your guy was separating babies from their parents and detaining them in camps. Perspective, you know?

Current rate of dates due to opioid overdose in America rate from 40-115 deaths per day, (if its presciption versus all DOD) So we can be pretty sure somewhere between 100 and 300 people have died since this bill was passed due to the very opioids this bill is addressing. Its been a comprehensive strategy from Trump from when he went on the campaign trail , right thru to legislation and even into the banner page on the whitehose homepage, Potential 300 deaths in 3 days... my perspective is fine. Time has a good video on the ravages of this epidemic, Id respectfully suggest you watch it before you are so dismissive of American lives.http://time.com/5187886/opioid-overdose-rates/

There really is no such thing as bad publicity, especially when it comes from a man whose favourite food is overdone steak, cut into pieces, served with ketchup.

While I'm asking questions, why do you suppose Canadians who cross illegally don't receive the same rhetoric? Do you approve of this treatment? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/french-jogger-crosses-us-canada-border-detained-two-weeks-a8413141.html Is it now reasonable to expect people, citizens of the country carry papers for inspection at all times? Does that go against a core part of the GOP ideology?

Are Mexicans refugees? If asking that somehow means I approve of that treatment, you're pathetically biased and not fit for any sort of debate.
