"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 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.
