I am hoping he is impeached before then. I don't like Pence, but I don't think he is evil.

I know places like Estonia, Latvia, and basically any country formerly part of the Soviet Union is anxious because of how chummy Putin and Trump are. There is already talk that Trump might just leave them high and dry, which would leave those countries open to what you see in the Ukraine/Crimea.
Then there is talks of trade wars with China, which can't end well for us.
Basically, for the next 2 years at least, before there are any more elections for Congress, I don't see the U.S. playing well with others. That can have consequences that stretch out for decades.
It is difficult to build something up and maintain it, and easy and quick to destroy things. Hopefully Trump doesn't screw up too bad, and that the anti-Trump Republicans man/woman up and don't let him just do whatever he wants.
Certainly not looking forward to the next 2-4 years.

Mostly true, but not entirely.
There is one opening in the SC currently, the one left by Scalia's death.
Two others, Ginsburg and Breyer, both left leaners, are old and may conceivably pass within 4 years. I doubt they would retire knowing the circumstances, but medical conditions could change that.
Lastly, and I don't think this will matter, but you never know, Congress has the right to add or subtract the number of total SC Justices. The number has bounced around from 6 to 10and several places in between. It will likely stay 9, but could theoretically be increased or decreased.

You laughed so hard for years and now you are in a worse situation, i mean, our pizza is amazing  I'll tell you what, Trump is Berlusconi. Berlusconi 2.0 actually and there's a very important upgrade. Hairs. Well, i find far more relevant the fact that trump got elected when all americans know about his attitude, while berlusconi was destroyed by bunga-bunga. These elections were like the last elections in italy, clinton was like PD, they could only lose due to their own mistakes and so it happened.
That was partly it. It was also in part due to the FBI breaking tradition and releasing information within 90 days of the election. Of course, none of it was any worse than what Trump had said and done, but the damage was already there.
The biggest problem were the Primaries themselves.
The Republicans had too many people, starting out with 16. Instead of having a few good challengers, all the legit candidates siphoned votes from one another, so that even though Trump didn't have a majority, he had the most votes.
The Democrats were the opposite. They had too few. Bernie was the only non Clinton option, despite the fact people like Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and others could have at least made it interesting. It seemed like the Democrats had everyone take a back seat because it was Hilary's turn, regardless of whether or not she was the best candidate, and they lost.
Both the RNC and the DNC need to get their **** together.

Better yet, the American Public needs to realize that other options exist. Third parties need a chance to attend the Presidential Debates, and people as a whole need to dispel the entire "My vote is wasted if I go third party" The vote is only wasted because everyone freaking thinks that way. Even then, I'd argue that a vote that matters to you isn't a wasted vote at all. To be honest, your vote really doesn't matter at all if you think about it, you're one vote in over 135 million. So vote for what you believe in. To hell with anyone who says otherwise. I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary. I've gotten flak over it for saying that I helped Trump win by doing so. My vote matters and doesn't matter at the same time. I became Schrodingers vote this election year, its freaking crazy.
Word. I also voted 3rd party for the same reasons. But then again, I would prefer to still have two candidates from the major parties that were moderates such that I could legitimately consider both.
Unfortunately, even the third party candidates were rather poor choices last year. I was watching PBS specials talking about Ross Perot and Ralph Nader wishing that either one were in the election.
Also, we need a Congress that will work together and not merely against each other, which needs the buy in from all parties. But that won't happen until we at least get gerrymandering and corporate cash out of the elections.
