Reuters: U.S. House to debate bill on next steps in Trump impeachment probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives this week will debate legislation establishing procedures for the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Monday.

There goes Bob poo-pooing everything American. Give the crotchety bastard enough time and he will talk shit about VE & VJ day.
DONT LIKE BOB AND WHAT HE HAS TO SAY? STOP READING AND NAME CALLING YOUR NAME CALLING IS IMMATURE RESPONSE
I posted a very touching link that recognises how some American soldiers are affected by their experiences, and it is a very serious issue with those who have served their country, obviously not you of course, and you call it poo-pooing America.
If you can't appreciate what your country's activities, if you are in fact American, cost the world and its own people, than you are nothing but a shit stain on the flag.
