Lawmakers in the House have passed the threshold of votes needed to impeach President Donald Trump. Voting continues

From CNN's Josiah RyanMaking his closing argument, Democratic Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer leaned on the words of the House's third ranking Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney, who is the only Republican in leadership to have called for impeachment of President Trump.

"She said the President... summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of that attack," he continued."There has never been, she said, a greater betrayal by a President... of his office and his oath to the Constitution." "This attack was not from abroad," said Hoyer, drawing a contrast to 9/11 attacks in which the Capitol was initially a target."It was, as Liz Cheney said, summoned, assembled and inflamed by the President."

Meanwhile, House Republican Whip Rep. Steve Scalise made his closing argument in opposition to impeachment on the House floor, speaking just before Hoyer.

When the president of the United States of America is a danger to the United States of America, he's gotta go. Simple

So, what have we really accomplished? 1. Trump won't be removed so can still run again for POTUS 2. Country more divided than ever 3. Government and Big Tech now have the right to take away FreeSpeech from ordinary citizens if they so choose because don't like their beliefs.

Just setting precedent to see how many future presidents will be impeached 3 times.

I demand that trump get his day in court so file state & federal charges as soon as possible. So he can get equal justice for lying,tax cheating,sexual assault,terrorist acts,treason,interference in elections,being a Russian agent, defrauding banks.The list is too long to finish
