"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."

    When the hell will you guys wake up and see we have elected a pathological narcissist as President?

    Go read up what happens when a pathological narcissist's reality bubble no longer becomes sustainable. "Narcissitic mortification" is the technical term you need. Then tell me what actions prevent Trump from declaring a 90 day martial law and what methods prevent him from telling his military aid, "Give me the codes, I'm picking up the C-in-C nuclear hotline now and making Country ________ turn to glass.") Then understand that we have betrayed our allies who destroyed ISIS for us because Trump can't face the families picking up their loved ones who died in defense of destroying ISIS and ask yourself just how far along Trump might be along that mortification pathway.

    Now pray that the shadow resistance inside the Trump administration is a very real thing, and I'll pray that you're trolling.

    When the hell will you wake up and realize that we almost always do?
