Two articles of impeachment were voted against the president. This is really a sad day. Big show. Everybody got dressed up, really no place to go.

This theyre doing everything they can to, as mr. Green, democrat representative al green said, impeach him because they know hes going to win reelection. Thats the unfortunate
