"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."

    Anyone who still thinks Trump is using his unpredictable behaviour as leverage needs to take a look at how much he's deteriorated just in the last 3 years.

    He's functionally near-illiterate, talks like a 4th grader, refusing to read anything more complicated than single line paragraphs and bullet points - and even then he can't retain much.

    He clearly has dementia. And to add insult to injury, before it used to be his hair that was the brunt of jokes; now it looks like large chunks of his face have worked lose from the underlying flesh.

    He's unstable, and never been a genius. It would take a genius to keep all his lies straight, and a stable genius would be smart enough not to need to lie in the first place.
