New Witnesses Called To Testify Before Impeachment Committees | The Last Word | MSNBC
Popcorn is in order…..
woo hoo party time
Jiffy Pop fully stocked in me casa.
Yes, I’m so ready.
I call it “story corn”
Agolf Twitler is in trouble.
@Chloe Key Boy are you misinformed. Republicans are not even allowed to attend! Shiff is breaking rule after rule.
@Sask Sun seekers Parrots are creatures that scream “STUPID!” But thanks for playing. Let me know when you learn some facts before vomiting invective all over me.
Erik Thompson Go get some professional mental help stupid. There certainly is. Wow how dumb can you be. Trump is nothing but a lying con man. If you believe him I have a bridge in Brooklyn l will sell you stupid.
Has to be iron clad.
Dr. Strange holds up one finger. Pelosi holds the gauntlet.
Web Grep
Your channel,has no content.
Neither does your argument.
His Bubbliness
I heard the squad went back to their own countries to impeach their shithole of a president, making their country great again.
I won’t be surprised if they turn in the audio of the call.
@Nevyn of OZ 1973I don’t suppose you’ve heard of data encryption, then.
Besides, I didn’t idn’t mention the rest of the world; as I was obviously referring to the administration.
Maybe the Democrats should subpoena the rest of the world, then; to obtain a copy of the audio. I’m sure they’d be more willing to admit that they’ve been spying on the US in such a specific way. Intelligence agencies are known for their transparency and willingness to turn in evidence of their tradecraft, to foreign adversaries.
But *I’m* the naive one!? Ha
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 Did you know, that messaging apps such as WhatsApp are banned in China, because they use end to end encryption, and the government can’t get past it?
Yet you somehow think that intergovernmental communications won’t have better safeguards than WhatsApp, because of, err… wires and such.
Go back to sleep, grandad.
@2010realitycheck haha! yes!
@comanchio1976 yes you are the naïve one. sad but true story.
It looks like this season of American Horror Story: White House is finally heading to the finale.
@Erik Thompson You came to pick on people to feel superior, now who has the little mind? You’re so big and boisterous hiding behide a keyboard in Australia.
Your entire civilization has given the world what? A crap pop band a crap rock band and a few bad movies.
Erik Thompson keep trying Erik. Another laughable useless response
Joy Phillips keep trying. The incoherent ramblings continue on. Where do you get the crap you post? How about some sources.
@Erik Thompson lmao wtf is wrong with you people weed who support a Liar from day one. If he was your brother ,you would call the police
@Airik Luna I live in California. WTF are on on anyway? I’m using my real name and have never been to Austrailia. I am here trying to inform you that your little bubble is about to burst. Hypocrite.
The Republican Party 🙊🙉🙈 this next Election will become Three Dead Monkeys partied out. So now We The People of the United States of America say🖕
Yeah, fantastic…Perry won’t testify unless he has a WH lawyer…get ready to hear the nitty gritty from the Uno Amigo…”executive privilege” and “I don’t recall”… spineless weasel!!!
POVofJTRose The WH lawyers are in trouble, being subpoenaed too.
He p
People who lawyer up confirm they are guilty by doing so! Lawyer up guilty ones!!
@Julie Henderson And Trump has 200 + Lawyers. It must be busy in his war room. Planning war..on Americans?
In actual fact, Europe has already given about 3/4 times as much aide ($) to The Ukraine more than the US. Trumptydoodle lies about everything – and his stupid flock just dumbly follows him.
I could get used to seeing Impeachments on a more regular basis. Time to remind any politicians that they can be fired with extreme prejudice, that they are employees, not royalty. No more Mary Sue treatment.
I can agree with that, Democrat or Republican.
The more the public hears, the better. Impeach and remove the corrupt and compromised asset in the WH.
‘A Perfect Call’ will be the title of one of the many movies, made about this presidency.
Yeah i agree but think about it, what actor would want to play trump, i think i would rather play a child molester
@peter warren Good point. My suggestion: Alec Baldwin is not just a great comedic actor. A lot of people have forgotten that he was once a heart throb and better known for dramatic performances, among them roles in some superb court room dramas and historical legal drama “Nuremberg”. He just needs to adjust the character he plays on SNL to be a tad bit more serious and much more sinister. I think he can pull it off. I imagine the last scene: the camera zooms slowly out of Alec’s/ Trump’s depressed face to show him sitting in a prison cell.
What I fear, no, know, is that these public hearings are going to be wasted by grandstanding, gaslighting Republicans. They won’t be interested in hearing the truth, they will be only interested in trying to smear and intimidate the witnesses. I believe all questions should be directed through a lawyer and they can question them. I think then there would be a more productive process. This goes for both sides of the aisle. Listening to some of these GOP buffoons gaslighting conspiracy theories is painful.
Exactly
The “Law” can’t be any clearer on this matter!
Federal Election Campaign Law:-
Soliciting or Receiving:-
“It shall be unlawful” for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the “President, vice President, and Members of Congress”, 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”.
Lawyers Lawyers Lawyers; What a disgrace the Republicans are.
So when I get a subpoena or court order to testify I’ll look at the way a president does it and say I won’t participate ok got it
This reality show is getting old. We need to clean the house from the orange trash!
My concern is after he is gone, how many of the staff have betrayed the country to appease Trump and keep their jobs? And how many of them will stay on after he is gone? As was said in the video, this was a concerted effort by a whole heap of departments. That’s frightening.
How do you propose to do that and keep in line with the New Green Deal? We’re talking about ridding the WH of Toxic Waste.
Finale should be called operation clean sweep, follow the rubles into the prison. We need a giant coordinated sting operation, to care for national security and get everyone involved at once. Every day they are allowed to do damage to the Constitution and the country we are in more danger than people know. I hope to God for a shadow government, ran by the law, ethics, and national security, not political lies, for all of us and for the sake of the world. If there’s no system to deal with this type of crime family and syndacate, which has international tentacles, we are all in trouble.
Why are retardicons going all out to protect putin instead of protecting America and the constitution?
Because, Putin wasn’t only hacking into Hillary’s emails. They have info on Republicans.
Bottom line: “He betrayed his oath of office” … say no more, remove Trump!
A lot of them dishonor their oaths of office.
When we finally see the actual transcript of Trump’s extortion phone call, we’ll see just how big a fraud Trump really is. If the call was so “perfect,” why would the White House lawyer have it put into a classified server?
How can the average, everyday Republican be okay with this POTUS? This is so gross..
Karsten
That is a “no true Scotsman” fallacy. You want to deny calling them Chrisitians, but they would disagree….and you aren’t the one that decides.
The single greatest indicator whether someone voted for trump was if they believed America was founded as a Christian nation, as opposed to the Secular nation we are. Where do you stand on that?
Faith based world views are inferior to evidence based world views, and considerably more dangerous.
Karsten
Religion conditions large groups of people that believing without evidence is a divine expectation, and that questioning it is an offense.
When conditioned for a lifetime to just believe whatever makes you warm and fuzzy, they’re ability to reason effectively is impaired.
Karsten
And you’re calling it a “misconception” based on your own ignorance and bias. Go look at the data.
@markj6700 a majority of denominations have spoken out against Don the Con’s policies:
