VIOLENCE IN THE CAPITOL--Democrat and Republican members of congress have impeached Trump for a second time because he instigated the violence that overtook the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, which resulted in 5 deaths, including Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who was killed by rioters, and officer Howard Liebengood who died by suicide days later. There were many more injured.

The HOUSE= The United States House of Representatives is the lower house of the United States Congress, with the Senate being the upper house.

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES, is an expression inspired by the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. In Psalms 8:2, God ordains strength out of the mouth of babes and sucklings; in Matthew 21:16

Renga is a Japanese collaborative poetry form in which poets write alternating verses of 5-7-5 stanzas and 7-7 couplets which are linked in succession by multiple poets. Only the first 5/7/5 is a haiku; the rest 5/7/5 stanzas are only restricted to syllable count. Renga is older than haiku.
