Peaches Congressman Barry Loudermilk is equating Trump to Jesus. Le sigh.  Terminations (finally) in the Puerto Rico license scandal Tim Echols makes the news for the same ‘ol stuff. 

Tonight, without a vote from the Minority Party, Democrats in the U.S. House voted to impeach President Trump. Congressman Doug Collins from GA-9, Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, was the highest profile Georgian on the matter to this point.
