House Votes to Table Trump Impeachment
Roll Call, Jan 19, 2018

Members of both parties in the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly Friday to table articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

The final vote was 355 in favor of a motion by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy to table the articles of impeachment against the president. Only 66 Democrats voted against the motion.

This was the second time Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas pushed for articles to impeach Trump.

Previously, Democratic leadership including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer stated their opposition to it.

Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, who represents a district Trump won, said the vote was damaging to members like her who represent swing districts.

I wouldn't have tabled it.  I would have forced an up-or-down vote immediately.  By tabling it, the bill stays alive.  By voting it down, it dies.

The Real Face Of Jesus

Advances in forensic science reveal the most famous face in history.

An answer has emerged from an exciting new field of science: forensic anthropology. Using methods similar to those police have developed to solve crimes, British scientists, assisted by Israeli archeologists, have re-created what they believe is the most accurate image of the most famous face in human history.

They can't let go of it but they don't want the public laughing at them for dragging it out for a Vote.

It's still alive and metastasizing as they Pray and Conspire to cook up something, Anything, that might stick.


These people aren't a political party.

They're a Fifth Column.
