Assuming Trump either resigns or is impeached then convicted. Pence, a very religious person, will be President.

If this drags out beyond January 2019. Pence could be President for 10 years.


But that is an entirely different kettle of fish. I may not be a conventional theist garden variety mainstream protestant christian (I am more of a deist with some small use of the christian terminology I grew up with -- I call myself a none-of-the-aboveist), but I have no problems with a 'very religious person' in office... as long as they don't cross the line and try to establish a church in the usa (like they have in, for instance, the UK)... AND they don't proselytize at me or any one else.

Heh... There I was garpin about proselytizing, and who knocks on my door? Well, this time it wasn't LDS missionaries, or even JWs.... 7th Day Adventists, this time...

Personally, I think we need a bit stronger of a moral backbone in this country... Otherwise we will keep getting elected leaders like Bubba the horndog, Dubya the drunkard, and Trump the uggh (words fail me).

And therein lies the difference in Religious belief and Religious belief organized by men. Absolutely correct about the level of corruption and hate.......at about the same levels as are found in any HUMAN endeavor from Government to the local Bakery.

Don't blame human corruption on belief in a deity that inspires much good and beauty.

For good and bad. We are not as most of the world understands.

That's not true Clyde.
We in Europe knows a lot of the USA.
Heck, almost everyone have some relative living in the US.
And then news media is covering all what is happening in the US.
An example. The former FBI chief Comey hearing was broadcasted here live on state TV SVT.
The US election gather more people than our elections.
And we have even CNN and FOX on live TV here.

And the US?
How much do you cover European news?


Then your knowledge of what is going on in the USA is colored by other people's perspective. The news media does NOT cover ALL that is happening in the US, only those stories that satisfy their editorial bias, and then spun in a way to maximize the bias.

I used to listen and watch a LOT of European news on the radio and the television. But I was under no illusion that that news was bias-free. You just have to figure out the bias and adjust accordingly.
I used to even get the BBC News channel on my satellite TV system, until I yanked the service less than a year ago.
I also watched CNN International back when it had a LOT of news on it from Europe and Asia, even the rest of the world.
Heck, even Fox Business had a lot of European news on it, though it was covered from a business perspective (with its attendant biases).

Now, I access news online, though that is becoming less and less useful due to paywalling. I may have to figure out some other way, if this trend keeps going.

I usually check not only CNN, Fox, and a few others here in the USA, but also BBC, Tass, Xinhua, Yonhap, and a number of others.

I likely am not typical of US citizens, but I do my best to follow world news. I know I am no expert on it, but I am also not ignorant of it either.

Fox News Analyst Quits, Calling Network a ‘Propaganda Machine’.

A longtime analyst for Fox News is leaving the network, saying that he could not “in good conscience” remain with an organization that, he argued, “is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.”

In a searing farewell note sent to colleagues on Tuesday, Ralph Peters, a Fox News strategic analyst and a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, castigated the network for its coverage of President Trump and the rhetoric of its prime-time hosts.

“In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration,” Colonel Peters wrote in his message, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times.

“Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association,” he added. “Now I am ashamed.”
Cheers.

I was more like thinking of average people.
I hold it for true that an European person knows a lot more of America than vice versa.
Even the 2'nd and 5'th amendments in your constitution are well known here.
Even kids knows who Trump is.
How many in the US knows any European President/PM and also what country he/she represent?
Do they know the difference between a President and a PM?
Trump didn't when he once said he would like to see the Swedish President:)

Bias free news? There is no such thing in any country.
Maybe the weather report.

'Average' people(whatever they are). are interested in news that affects them. That's world wide I believe. The fact is that very little that is of interest to the 'average' European or Scandinavian or EU resident is interesting to the 'average' American or Chinese, etc.

News organizations pimp their information to the highest audience rating by tailoring biases and flavoring the content to maximize that audience. The reason is obviously the advertising dollar.

That being said, and as much as I despise the site, Twitter would seem to be the most uninfluenced information source once the inevitable chaff is discarded. I closed my Twitter account a couple years ago due to spammage but might consider reopening as Facebook is becoming more unreliable by the day except for family interaction.

We need a 'World Law' requiring all 'News Sources' to only report the facts and occurrences of the day without bias, editing, 'lost footage', and any other alteration and let each viewer/reader draw their own opinions and conclusions...........but then the 'Controllers' would lose control............

That's true.
But there are exeptions.
For instance state news outlets like British BBC, Swedish SVT, Norwegian NRK and Finn YLE.
They do not get any extra dollars for high ratings and still providing reliable news.
Only biased in that sense they sometimes cherry pick.

Now we know why the leak on the briefing memo ...
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-lawyers/trumps-lead-lawyer-for-federal-russia-probe-resigns-nyt-idUSKBN1GY27B?il=0
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s lead lawyer for the federal special counsel probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election resigned on Thursday, the New York Times reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
John Dowd stepped down after concluding Trump was increasingly ignoring his advice, one of the people said, according to the Times.

Understand that Trump is a 'street fighter' type. It explains much.

No Rumpers is a bully. Bullies are the one who end up in a corner sobbing and begging not to be hurt after the first punch connects. They are pitiful.
