Michigan Republicans Urge Trump To Apologize For Attack On Late Rep. John Dingell
“There was no need to ‘dis’ him in a crass political way,” Rep. Fred Upton said of Trump implying the Democrat is in hell.

At least two Republican congressmen from Michigan have called on President Donald Trump to apologize for suggesting that the late Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) was “looking up” from hell during a rally in their state.
“I’ve always looked up to John Dingell ― my good friend and a great Michigan legend,” Rep. Fred Upton tweeted after Trump’s rally on Wednesday. “There was no need to ‘dis’ him in a crass political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due.”
Rep. Paul Mitchell echoed Upton’s denunciation of Trump’s remarks on Thursday morning and defended Dingell as a “well-respected man.”
“To use his name in such a dishonorable manner at last night’s rally is unacceptable from anyone, let alone the President of the United States,” Mitchell tweeted. “An apology is due, Mr. President.”

Trumps War Room posting dangerous, vicious LIES!! about what Cyburn said...............
Beyond the horrible lie that the Trump camp is putting out--read the last tweet.
@ddale8
This tweet is not at all true. Clyburn didn’t call for Trump to be hanged; he called for a fair trial, and said McConnell’s pre-trial comments are like someone saying pre-trial that they’ll “give him a fair trial and hang him,” except from the reverse perspective.

President Donald Trump has been impeached by the US House of Representatives.
The house voted to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, setting up a trial in the Senate where Trump could be acquitted.
Newspapers across the US chose short headlines and dramatic pictures that focused on the historic moment that made Trump only the third-ever US president to be impeached.
Business Insider rounded up 13 of the most striking front pages, which you can see below.

....
The House voted on two articles: The first, charging Trump with abuse of power, passed with 230 votes to 197 against; and the second, charging Trump with obstruction of Congress, passed with 229 votes to 198 against.
Both votes related to Trump's dealings with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, who Trump asked to help gather information about 2020 Democratic presidential contender and former Vice President Joe Biden.

The San Francisco Chronicle also used a picture of Pelosi, choosing one from her speech to media after the votes. It also highlighted key quotes from the day, including Pelosi saying: "Today we are here to defend democracy for the people."

... and Texas' Houston Chronicle, which also highlighted pro-impeachment demonstrations and the potential for voters to be fatigued over the issue in 2020.

Using the same picture, The Boston Globe highlighted the vote margins, which saw Trump receive more votes for his impeachment than either Bill Clinton or Andrew Johnson.

'Trump Hotel [DC] room prices spiked 13x last weekend. We finally know why.' ..............
The Trumpets will continue to make money for their pockes until Jan 20 2021 damn
The Trump Victory Committee’s winter retreat at Trump’s Hotel - the cheapest room was $6,719 (normally $500 a night.)
Putting money right in Trump’s pocket.

December 18, 2019
In November, we noticed a mysterious spike in the price of available rooms at Trump’s DC hotel for a Saturday night in December. The minimum cost was 13 times the average, but we couldn’t identify a reason for the spike, until photos surfaced of the Trump Victory Committee’s winter retreat at Trump’s Hotel on that exact night, which appears to have sold out much of the venue. While the least expensive room for a one-night stay at the hotel was around $500 on surrounding days, the cheapest room on December 14 was a whopping $6,719. With access to Trump, Pence, and other top officials, and a bonus invitation to the White House holiday party for donors, we no longer have to wonder why.
On November 7th, CREW flagged a massive spike in the cost of a room on December 14, suggesting that every less expensive room in the hotel was sold out, leaving only pricey suites. Presumably, rooms were taken up by donors to Trump Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee of the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign. The exorbitant cost is even more evidence that hosting fundraisers at the Trump International Hotel is one of the best ways to sell out the notoriously empty venue, sending donor money right into Trump’s pocket.
Lucky donors who managed to snag a room were also invited to the White House’s holiday open house, meaning that the cost of a room at Trump’s DC Hotel and donations towards his reelection included exclusive political access for the buyer.
For those seeking access to the president and top members of his Cabinet, the Trump Victory Committee fundraiser did not disappoint. According to 1100 Pennsylvania, President Trump, Vice President Pence and Interior Secretary David Bernhardt were scheduled to attend Trump Victory’s retreat. Vice President Pence, who is one of the most frequent visitors to Trump properties, was a special guest for lunch. Pence’s lunch alone appears to have attracted 650 guests, according to a social media post that appears to have been from the event, well over the Trump Hotel’s 263 rooms. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, who is one of the top visitors to Trump properties among executive branch officials, also participated in a “Women for Trump Panel.” Finally, Trump and Secretary Bernhardt were slated to be special guests at the “Jingle and Mingle Cocktail Reception and Winter Retreat Gala.”
There’s no question that political spending like the Trump Victory Committee fundraiser has helped make Trump’s DC Hotel one of the few bright spots in his financial portfolio, despite it’s high vacancy rate. CREW has tracked 72 political events held at Trump properties during the Trump presidency, 40 of which have been held at his DC hotel. Trump Victory has been a particularly loyal customer for the DC hotel, hosting fundraisers in June 2017, September 2018, May 2019, and June 2019. The Center for Responsive Politics found that all the political spending at the hotel is paying off, totalling nearly $20 million since the 2016 election cycle..........................................
