"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."

    What they don't seem to realize is that they are only pissing his base off.

    Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Bradley? His base has been pissed off since they were the Teabaggers! (Not knowing what the term actually means!) I mean, Trump can hold rallies, but really no one and nothing can make his base any more angry than they already are. Fortunately, recent studies hold promise of treatment for Alzheimers, and a hair test, so there is hope for them.
