"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.

This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.

The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.

Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

    Gotta love all the accounts with female first name and last name initial.

    Like anyone would actually do that except alt-right trolls trying to generste some sort of feminist legitimacy. Sad.

      As long as they identify as female, that's what matters, right?

        Apparently that is what you trolls think.

      I really do wonder about people like that. It's not as if alt-right women don't exist, though the internal contradictions necessary to hold those ideas as a woman would tear me personally apart inside.

      Makes me wonder, though...self-hating transwomen who refuse to transition? Self-loathing gay men doing the equivalent of dressing in drag? It's a mystery to me.

        It is possible they might actually be women, but the tendency for the trolls to pretend they are someone from the opposition makes me very skeptical. Doesn't overly matter, the message is still dumb and conservatives vastly over rsted the identity politics on the left. Projection as usual.
