US president Donald Trump has been discharged and acquitted by the US senate over the charges of obstruction of congress and abuse of power leveled against him by the House of Reps. On Wednesday, the Republican majority senate voted against impeaching the president, bringing the impeachment trial to an end.  '48 senators have pronounced Donald John Trump, president of the United States, guilty as charged. 52 senators have announced him not guilty as charged. 2/3 of the senators present not finding him guilty, the Senate judges Donald John Trump - the president of the United States - is not guilty as charged in the first article of impeachment,' Chief Justice Roberts announced after the vote.                     But in a remarkable move, Republican Mitt Romney, a non-fan of Trump, who has been critical of the president in the past, voted against the president in the charge of 'abuse of power' He was the only Republic...

Republicans allege that Google's search results are biased and that Democrats who work at Google choose liberal websites over conservative views for prime placement on Google services like Google search. Several Republicans on the committee, including Rep. Lamar Smith, said there was "political bias baked into" Google's culture. Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren gave Google CEO a chance to explain and convince them that there's no conservative bias in Google. Lofgren said to Pichai: Manipulation of search results - I think it's important to talk about how search works. Right now, if you Google the word 'idiot,' under images, a picture of Donald Trump comes up. I just did that. How would that happen? How does search work so that that would occur? Pichai replied: We provide sea...
