Trump is terrible. I mean he's beyond your wildest dreams terrible. There are times where I am literally impressed with the depths of his awfulness. If you're a listener of this show, none of this should surprise you.

So, today, let's talk about Vice President Mike Pence. Is he any better than his boss? He's the so-called adult in the room. He's the stalwart pillar of bland virtue to the Conservatives. He may seem like a mother-loving Buster Bluth, but Mike Pence is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The term 'impeachment' has become commonplace fodder and become the go-to for envisioning a way out of this nightmarish hellscape of American politics. I totally understand the rationale for wanting impeachment, but it's also a cheat. You get rid of one big orange problem and are left with another misogynist, bigoted one except Pence knows the game. He's measured and is far more conservative than Trump.

I hate to break it to you, but Mike Pence is just as bad as Donald Trump.

How bad is Pence? It's like if the Billy Graham rule was also racist. The evangelicals choose to see Pence as a virtuous altar boy of the faith when he's actually closer to being that predator priest. He's misguided, complicit, and waiting for his shot. Christians may rejoice about this supposed man of God, but the rest of us should be worried. He's the religious right's wet dream and also their plan B. Let's not be fooled by the urgency of the now. We must also keep our eyes open for the evil in waiting.

Come along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world.
