"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."

    Of course the outcome is predetermined. Nothing sticks to that guy. Particularly not the truth. I'll be mightily surprised if he actually gets impeached.

    If his conduct is considered not impeachable, then the next Presidents are going to really tear the place up. Foreign govts supporting domestic candidates? Using US money (tax money) to leverage personal favors? Plain and simple using tax money to pay yourself. Openly and without consequence? That's the Libya model.

    Nothing sticks because he is actually not corrupt (in the sense that he follows the law). You standard DC criminal just cannot comprehend such a monstrosity in their midst and repeat lies over and over until it is drummed into the skulls of idiots like you.

    If a substantial percent of people really believthis BS, the US deserves what it is going to get.
