What is disconcerting is the wholesale amnesia of what happened during the Bush 2 administration. I'll give odds the same thing will happen again. Obama is going to look like a saint next to Trump.
The problem there is that the Republicans would rather see the country go down in flames than impeach one of their own. So a scandal may well erupt, but you can rest assured that Trump will never be called to task for it. Impeachments are only for Democrats, for the crime of being a Democrat, after all.
To clarify for our conservative board members: I expect both sides to be corrupt to one degree or another. But over the past thirty years I have come to expect the Republicans to be crass, obvious and gloating about it, as if it became a virtue because they are Republicans.
Edit: Someone mentioned Trump's nominations to head the EPA and DOL is like appointing an arsonist to head the fire department.
