"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."

    [Bad witch trial analogy mercifully elided]

    It's quite terrifying that people are so quick to throw all logic and evidentiary standards to the wind when it suits their needs.

    And it's quite terrifying (to me) that you suck so much at elementary logic. No, I'm not going to bother to deconstruct your "witch trial" analogy for you. Do your own God damn homework, chuckles!

    As always the one thing I'd add here is that I think a lot of this modern stupidity is just being driven by the internet.

    Indeed. My take: you should have studied harder in school, rather than spend so much time on the internet. Also, it would probably do wonders for your perspective to get out into the real world once in a while. Just sayin'.
