    You're going to look awfully stupid when Trump wins re-election. Apparently you are used to that.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    The resolution "condemning President Trump's racist comments directed at Members of Congress" quoted US founding fathers and former presidents.

    Immigration "has defined every stage of American history", it said, adding that "all Americans, except for the descendants of Native people and enslaved African-Americans, are immigrants or descendants of immigrants".

    It also noted that patriotism is not defined by race or ethnicity, "but by devotion to the Constitutional ideals of equality, liberty, inclusion and democracy".

    How significant is this?

    There have been only four congressional votes to approve resolutions aimed at censuring or condemning a president, according to a 2018 report by the Congressional Research Service.

    The last occasion was against William Howard Taft in 1912, when he was accused of trying to influence a disputed Senate election."

    BBC: US House condemns Trump attacks on congresswomen as racist

    "It passed by 240 votes to 187.

    Four Republicans and the House's sole independent, former Republican lawmaker Justin Amash, joined all 235 Democrats to approve the resolution

    The four Republicans were Texas congressman Will Hurd (the party's only African American representative), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Fred Upton (Michigan) and Susan Brooks (Indiana).

    Passing a resolution - which is a statement of opinion and not legally binding - criticising presidential conduct is very rare. "

    Some Republicans tried to lash out at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for calling the tweets racist, but that was quickly quashed.
    Another example of the unhinged. Nothing Trump said was racist. The word has become more than a buzzword insult. It has become a thought terminating cliche fallacy.
    Pelosi was chastised by the Chairman of the House. Get yer facts right.

    It makes a YUGE spiritual difference.

    Trump's mouth has gotten him into trouble, now.

    He has been officially cut down.

    He thought he could say anything and get away with it.

    The message has now been sent to the world that the official House of Representatives from all over the USA

    DISAPPROVES Of THE PRESIDENT'S INCENDIARY MOUTH.

    And Oh, what a pleasure it is to see that made official.

    He has been publicly face-slapped.

    About TIME!
    Nah. Congress wound up slapping itself around. The Corbomite President strikes again!

    before immigration can occur, doesn't someone have to first found a country? Secondly this classifies so called first nations as having come here in the same manner as founders, stealing the land from the natural inhabitants is the phrase I think the first nations use when it applies to anyone else.
    We are in an endless duration of constant change where the only thing that doesn't change is that change occurs because energy, matter and time are always present

    None at all. The closer we get to Fascism, the more the president can get away with.
