"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."

    Yeah. Believe that as you like. Or read the truth. [nytimes.com] And with the other facts, as NYT and any number of other sources will prove, you might understand the answer that the President has proven, and has publicly stated, he is fine with allowing foreign powers to bring him dirt on his political opponents.

    Or..... where is the President's OTHER calls to other nations with corruption issues asking for investigations of specifically named individuals that have absolutely no political benefit to Mr. Trump. Yeah. He was asked that question and he'll get back to us on that one. Probably about the same time he freely releases his tax returns.

    The Times... The Truth! That's funny! They have you people climbing all over each other to buy limited Brooklyn Bridge time shares!

    So sad to see how weak the rational intellect is against the tribal savage beast. It truly is the more dangerous and frightening aspect of this whole affair. The dark ages are alive and well
