"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."

    Bravo.

    Nice bit of Whataboutism to deflect from the current unrepentant Adulterer in Chief's crimes.

    Don't forget to invoice the RNC for your effort.

    Shouting "whataboutism" -- the ultimate dodge. It's cheap, transparent, and it doesn't make your shit not stink.

      Using whataboutism, lame cheap and shows you know you're wrong so you need to use distractions of reality.
