"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."

    He's pried Li'l Kim's ass out of North Korea to begin peace talks, has he not?

    Except there are no talks. And Kim is still testing his nuclear weapons delivery systems [militarytimes.com] (that was *yesterday*, November 1 2019).

    What's more he's targeting the US with malware [us-cert.gov]:

    Working with U.S. Government partners, DHS, FBI, and DoD identified Trojan malware variants used by the North Korean government. This malware variant has been identified as HOPLIGHT. The U.S. Government refers to malicious cyber activity by the North Korean government as HIDDEN COBRA. For more information on HIDDEN COBRA activity, visit https[:]//www[.]us-cert.gov/hiddencobra.

    DHS, FBI, and DoD are distributing this MAR to enable network defense and reduce exposure to North Korean government malicious cyber activity.

    (again, this report was released yesterday).

    Whatever "effort" the Trump administration *might* be making is a dismal failure, just like most of everything these incompetent bastards do.

    Exactly - he gave away the prize, which was giving Kim international recognition - without getting anything in return. Now Kim is rattling his pram toys again and Trump better come up with another gift.
