Articles of impeachment delivered to Senate, triggering historic trial of Trump

[Robert]

They say timing is everything,  ??? But why now when the country is suffering from the virus, the economy is tanking and people are out of work and the president has much on his plate. Why did Pelosi veto additional funds for the buisness bail out? How far away is the election? Why did Pelosi drop this on the day that the first virus showed in the US?

Why are the Dems not trying to help the people of the US rather than trying to impeach Trump?

For those that say Trump did not act fast enough there is a great time line below.

Timeline: The early days of China's coronavirus outbreak and cover-up

https://www.axios.com/timeline-the-early-days-of-chinas-coronavirus-outbreak-and-cover-up-ee65211a-afb6-4641-97b8-353718a5faab.html

    An official at the Hubei Provincial Health Commission orders labs, which had already determined that the novel virus was similar to SARS, to stop testing samples and to destroy existing samples.

Jan. 2: Chinese researchers map the new coronavirus' complete genetic information. This information is not made public until Jan. 9.

Jan. 7: Xi Jinping becomes involved in the response.

Jan. 9: China announces it has mapped the coronavirus genome.

Jan. 11–17: Important prescheduled CCP meeting held in Wuhan. During that time, the Wuhan Health Commission insists there are no new cases.

Jan. 13: First coronavirus case reported in Thailand, the first known case outside China.

Jan. 14: WHO announces Chinese authorities have seen "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus."

Jan. 15: The patient who becomes the first confirmed U.S. case leaves Wuhan and arrives in the U.S., carrying the coronavirus.

Jan. 21:

Why it matters: Rep. Michael McCaul's rhetoric is characteristic of the growing hawkishness toward China among many in Washington, D.C. even, or especially, amid a crisis that is battering both countries.

Driving the news: McCaul spoke with Axios shortly after China revoked credentials from reporters at five U.S. media outlets.

    "If they expel our journalists, if that's their answer, I worry we will never get to the bottom of this," McCaul said. "But at the end of the day, we will be pointing the finger at China."

Between the lines: China has been criticized in Washington and beyond for prioritizing the containment of information, rather than of the virus itself, when it emerged in Wuhan.

"I think they've handled it professionally, and I think they're extremely capable," Trump said in a podcast broadcast on iHeart Radio.

I think that any and all politicians who are using this opportunity, while the country is is crisis and people are dying, to campaign and blame the other side are scum.  This should be the wake up call as to who these people really are and where their real interests lie.

All of them, from every side...they all suck.  It's about time that we admit that humanity has been a failed experiment and turn over control to the only species that has ever acted honorably.  Bring on the dog planet!

In addition, those that would take advantage of the pandemic to gut environmental protection are absolute scum, also.

Well at least he did not do it in the bill to save the small businesses or hold the bill up to insert special interest wants.

FYI these are the same standards that the MFG's were having trouble meeting and its amazing they dont say anything about the cost or them or the fact that the US is the one of cleanest in terms of pollution.
