"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."

You object to being shoehorned into a role? Alright then, stop all your liberal friends from shoehorning me into some kind of role. I'm not the oppressor.
Uh-huh. And, not once on SN have I ever voiced an opinion against such tactics? I've never once suggested that Prison for Profit is evil? I've never suggested that Stop and Frisk in NYC is evil? I've never once mentioned Driving While Black? And, remember, I've often pointed out that most of this oppression takes place in liberal cities and states.
I really don't care what you object to. It is YOUR PARTY, and YOUR AGENDA that oppresses most minorities, and especially blacks. Liberals simply freak out when they think of a black man legally owning a weapon. Their first reaction to a black man and a gun, is to shoot. THOSE COPS WHO ACTUALLY DO THE SHOOTING ARE ENFORCING LIBERAL LAW! Conservatives, rednecks, hillbillies, threepers, oathkeepers, preppers, and a whole lot more insist that ALL AMERICANS have the right to keep and bear arms. But, your do-gooders in Washington, D.C. want to take all of our guns. Every presidential hopeful on your side has made outrageous statements about taking away our guns. They have already succeeded in taking the black man's guns, and now they want to take ours so they can oppress all the rest of us.
I've got things I'd like to do with a shoehorn, since you've mentioned it. All of them painful to liberals and progessives.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

Don't make so many assumptions. I am not what you think I am. You seem to think I am a liberal progressive. I'm not. I currently have no political party affiliation. In fact, about ten years ago I was registered Republican while living in Arizona. I'm also a Christian (somewhat) conservative. I used to attach the evangelical label to that but these days I am shying away from it because some loud mouths have co-opted that label to turn it into new and inventive ways to take away rights from various other non-hetero, non-white, non-Christian folks. And your brandishing of a shoe horn doesn't scare me; if anything, it just convinces me even more that wild-eyed gun-nutters like you really do need to be disarmed for the safety of everyone (including you). Next time, try to be less of a shitty person.
