    1. I can hear Don Jr,”But Dad you said you would appoint me President in 2024.You can’t do that in prison.And Eric will be standing there ignored as usual.I wonder if Trump will get conjugal visits from Ivanka.Melania will have been recalled to Russia by then.

    2. @Anne Rodgers Ok…From now on I’ll just use the acronym T.H.O.T. to describe Ivanka…and why should I leave any one of the demon spawn out of this…? They are all “government” employees thanks to the Nectarine Nuggets Nepotism…

    1. @Rich C What law, says you can’t talk to foreign leaders. Ask for information about crimes were committed by Biden and his son. . Biden threatened Ukraine officials to fire the prosecutor that was investigating his son. Biden told Ukraine officials if he did not fire the prosecutor he was going with hold 1 billion dollors of aid.
      Biden son received 1 billion dollors from communist China

  1. Regurgitation of historical facts is tiresome. This president has done things which no one has ever witnessed before, for 3 yrs.

    1. Like taking on China? something that should have been done in past admins and something the Bidens would never do, I wonder why? In regards to Trump, tt’s refreshing to hear someone who doesn’t sound like the do-nothing career politicians that have come before him and ruined this country.

    1. This drivel, whatever it is, is something an intervention could help you with. Looks like you are the victim of more than one cult.

    1. @Nadia Silvershine So you think that we should continue to let China continue to take billions of dollars from the US, steal our intellectual property and eventually own the US for the sake of our farmers. I would blame the past administrations on the farmer’s problems, not Trump?

  2. Moscow Mitch will not allow a vote in the Senate on any bill he don’t like (there are literally hundreds of bills that have already passed in the House and waiting for a Senate vote that are being held up by Moscow Mitch right now) and now the GOP insists that a vote on the impeachment inquiry be held in the House? That is laughable! No double standard here?

    1. Jonathan Smith: a short list for you, it is a lot longer but here’s just a few…..The ‘For the people Act’The Equality ActThe American Dream Promise ActThe Paycheck Reform ActThe Bipartisan Background Checks ActThe Climate  Action Now ActThe Strengthening Health Care ActThe Lowering Prescription Drugs ActThe Violence Against Women Re-Authorisation ActHe has actually stopped just over 100 bills being passed in the last 4 months…. A subject you clearly know nothing about………………..

    3. … last count there’s around 250 bills passed by the house that mcconnell is ILLEGALY withholding from a vote. what an a-hole. kinda like trump unilaterally withholding congressionally authorized aid from Ukraine unless zelensky agreed to jump through a few hoops of corruption to satisfy trump’s craving for demands of loyalty. the GOP is truly a criminal, gangster organization.

    4. @c. j. macq where are you getting that b******* boy that’s wishful thinking on your part isn’t it you couldn’t be farther from the truth I guess we’ll just have to wait and see won’t we believe me I’ll let you know if it goes my way you can bet on it

  3. Imagine having everything handed to you on a silver platter. Trump ordered up loyalty like he ordered up hamburgers.

    1. but there’s already MASSIVE evidence to support impeachment. the democrats MUST NOT limit his impeachment charges to the Ukrainian incident. the dems MUST INCLUDE EVERY lie he’s told, EVERY violation of the constitution and crime he’s committed and EVERYTHING he’s said and done that’s brought dishonor and shame on the office of president. by restricting their impeachment charges to Ukraine they will be setting a DANGEROUS precedent allowing any future president to commit the crimes and unethical behavior for which he wasn’t charged. IMPEACH TRUMP, PENCE, BARR, POMPEO and MCCONNELL – they’ve all committed impeachable offenses.

  4. In other news The Reptilian party is borrowing one trillion dollars to help pay for tax cut. Make America great again, drain the swamp, lock him up

    1. You don’t know the truth. This reporters are the swamp too.
      The media is owned by a communist.
      The swamp is telling you the news they want you to hear. Russia collision obstruct was a hoax. They are trying to overthrow the president and the communist take over. This is real war on American soil. Why do you think President brought the soliders home. To guard America. To protect Americans from the communist.

      Did you know that Obama changed the law. To Inernational law.

      Un wants to overthrow Trump. Not for corruption. Not for what you and the communist Democrats. Lie about.
      Under international law ….
      The UN wants Trump to ask permission for all military functions. Trump said you are full of %$&#.

      They think Trump doesn’t know what he is doing. This people are so stupid. Trump has been around the communist Democrats for 20. Everybody knows him. The swamp
      Want to turn America into a third world communist country.

      First the communist Democrats under estimated Trump
      They thought this is going to easy. . Trump is going no where.
      The communist Democrats are getting put in Prison treason.
      They know that. The onces to shout the loudest have something to hide.

      The communist Democrats want the UN to Take control of USA military.

      The communist would turn everything to the communist. Obama sold California to communist China. He was selling America to the highest bidder who happen to communist.

      . You have been fooled. Democrats showed there true colors. They were communist all. Wake up. Are you on America side or are you on the communist. Side
      It is unfolding the way Trump knew it would.
      Trump administration is fighting against the swamp. Nancy Pelosi, Nader, Comey, all of them that have high positions are the swamp. Communist, our enemy.
      This is not Republicans against Democrats. The Democrats are communist and are all over the world trying to overthrow governments and have the communist party take over. This is global. . You got to prepare to what is coming. Don’t believe decieved.

      The communist are taking over your mind. They have you believing what is good is bad.
      What is bad is good

    1. Secret hearings? Trump can’t call witnesses? No subpoena powers? But you commie Democrats can hold secret hearings? Yeah, that’s normal.

    2. @K Mac
      It’s not a trial, it’s an investigation. Are you just trying to be dumb or were you born that way.

    3. @Global Atheist Big on the law and order are you now, commie? Investigate this you commie hypocrite.

  5. New Clues On How Congress May Write Trump Impeachment Charges
    Single spaced because there must be a lot of charges.

    1. Good one. Commie. Know what WASN’T on Trump’s watch you moron?

    2. @Rich C – Trump’s gets back in the white house in 2020 ONLY if people don’t vote. That’s how he did it in 2016. People better wake up and do their civic duty.

    3. @ceciliaFX they will if they want to keep thier peace, prosparity and higher wages and not socialism. Lets keep America American🇺🇸 in 2020

    1. This is a repeat. Cop’s Killing black’s. Women’s rights. Freedom of speech issues. Mass demonstrations, American presidency in Chaos. It’s the 60’s and 70’s again. Minus the ugly thick scratchy clothes.
      “It will spin on it’s Axes Until the weight of depravity makes it’s to head heavy to bare” .Sg.

    2. Nixon. Reagan, Bush, Trump. Endless scandals. Unfettered profligacy, Triggered recessions and depressions. Still the American public keeps going back to this bottomless well of iniquity and incompetence, the Republican party. WHY????

    1. @The Red Bird65 In the last 6 weeks he’s ticked off:

      18 U.S. Code § 872: Extortion by officers or employees of the United States.
      “Whoever, being an officer, or employee of the United States or any department or agency thereof, or representing himself to be or assuming to act as such, under color or pretense of office or employment commits or attempts an act of extortion, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

      18 U.S. Code § 610: Coercion of political activity.
      “It shall be unlawful for any person to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, any employee of the Federal Government … to engage in … any political activity.”

      18 U.S. Code § 607: Place of solicitation,” 52 U.S. Code § 30121 : Contributions and donations by foreign nationals.
      “It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President … to solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States, from any person.”

      18 U.S.Code §2074: False weather reports
      “Whoever knowingly issues or publishes any counterfeit weather forecast or warning of weather conditions falsely representing such forecast or warning to have been issued or published by the Weather Bureau, United States Signal Service, or other branch of the Government service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both,”

      U.S. Code §30121.Contributions and donations by foreign nationals. Money funnelled via Igor and Lev to Trump.

      U.S. Code CHAPTER 73—Obstruction of Justice (multiple); 11 counts detailed so far; deferred to Congress by investigator who states clearly that his report does not exonerate.

      Clear indications also for: Tax evasion, Emoluments clause violations – use of personal property to host events; foreign and domestic entities making “ghost bookings”. Fraud – Trump ‘university’ and last but not least: Treason – inviting foreign election interference. How about his giving ISIS aid and comfort by exposing their captors, the Kurds, to fire from Turkey.

      Who do you think “individual 1” is?

    1. @Frank Castle Way past time. There’s some really evil sh**going on about Turkey. Seems like he set up a war against the Turks. His belligerence toward them too was sickening. His constant threats against humanity are atrocious. That long ago tweet against the head of Iran was nuts. He keeps us all on edge.
