A controversial phone call that President Trump had with the Ukraine has led to the House opening impeachment proceedings. At the core of the issue is whether or not the President asked a foreign government to provide him dirt on a political opponent, with numerous other problematic issues also surrounding it.

It’s gonna get bumpy folks. For better or worse, we’re watching American history unfold. Watch close, our grandkids will be asking about this one day.
