"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."

    Except you're already crying about the impeachment inquiry and crying foul. Try again.

    Hint: pay attention to Trump's lies and the publicly available evidence of his crimes. If you don't already understand he needs to go then I doubt you ever will, and "When/if the investigation is complete and the articles of impeachment are sent to the Senate, I will evaluate the merits of the case then" just seems like a way to escape admitting that you are defending a criminal POtuS.

    What will you do if the investigation is damning but McConnell decides to sink the whole thing? Do you declare victory even with obviously corrupt bullshit going on? Do you have any shred of dignity and decency as an American? Or would you rather create a conservative dictatorship just so you can "win"?
