"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."

Two wrongs do not make a right. Or to put it another way, "But all the other kids were doing it too" is not a valid defense when children misbehave, so why in the world would it be a valid defense for anybody older?
I hear it from my kids, and it fails to fly.
I hear it from developers too lazy to follow good coding practices or basic security / due diligence.
I hear it from politicians.
I'm tired of hearing it. I don't care if Johnny did it too - I expect Johnny's parents to punish him, just like I have to punish you. You screwed up, you need to accept the consequences.
Sadly, I'm not allowed to put developers or politicians into Time Out and take away their toys until they learn to play nicely.
