    Question for one and all here as I just don't get this? What does Trump hope to achieve by having his White House refuse to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry? Has The Orange One Of Evil never heard the following three words: Obstruction of justice? Does he believe such concepts don't apply to him?

    Gotta admit his non cooperation with the Impeachment Inquiry makes me feel justified in the supporting an impeachment. I was wrong to be so radical and stop supporting him being ousted. To one and all, I'm sorry and more than a bit embarrassed. Rob

    Buying the outfit in the first place was a very respectful thing to do - what would be disrespectful is to wear it for any non-extremely-special occasion as the outfit is above my station in life. That was my meaning. Rob

    You know the Oxford Circus station in London is probably the most run-down I've ever encountered but people using it were still pretty well dressed. You can rise above your self-imposed shoddiness and be Paddington. No one will blame you.

    Dressing above my station in life for no special reason goes against how I was raised and is also disrespectful to the Austrian flag - a point I've made here before. But I have a solution. Why don't you dress above your station in life you are so motivated - you don't operate with the constraints that I do. Rob

    I don't necessarily see that as a problem.

    Then why would Pelosi not want to initiate the process with the usual vote rather than a press conference? Are there members in close districts fearful of going on the record?

    I see some historic protest marches coming up due to Trump's obstruction of justice via White House non-cooperation in the impeachment inquiry. US society being what it is, likely the police will break the law, being filmed while doing so, and generating negative or and large settlements for some.

    Would it not have been saner and easier to elect Hillary Clinton? Rob

    It’s not.

    It is Rob’s endless contortions to make himself the Center Of Attention by creating imaginary conflicting positions that is a problem in lucidity and, well, honesty.

    Being anti Trump is reasonable.

    You're right--the vote isn't necessary, per the Constitution. Personally, I see no reason not to take one, but I trust Nancy Pelosi's judgment on this.
