"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."

    Don't mess up a perfectly good coding joke by taking it seriously.

    As for the rest, the last Republican President I dig on at this point in my life is Reagan. The Bushes may be distant family but they weren't especially good Republicans by my standards. Trump makes me laugh but the best I can label him is "mostly harmless" on account of not being able to get much of anything through Congress and do much lasting harm.

    Mind you, the last Democrat President I dig on is JFK, so they're not faring any better. Carter was probably the best human being we've had in office in ages but he wasn't very good at it and had some fundamentally bad notions in his head.
