    1. And this Castor so called looyer, operating out of his whole foods cloth grocery bag?? Hilarious and embarrassing eh I want to go home, Dougie Collins? Treason is a heady mix eh Republikkklans?!?

    2. @Craig 64 , Matt Gaetz is so weak and ego driven. He failed ,yet his mouth was working like he consumes garbage ‘ !

    3. @ManOWords Between Collins and Gym there isn’t any glass left in the house. Their voices shattered all of it and the dogs in a 3 miles radius howl every time they start talking, err, I mean screeching.

    4. back to identity politics. Better give it up, democrats. Americans now know beyond a doubt what you’re made of. Losers

  1. Even if t’rump actually said the words, “I am going to extort you now…” republicans would still find a way to say that’s not what he meant.

    1. @Robert Garcia There was no bribery. When did he bribe? What did he say? He never said that they would not recieve that money. You know, the money from the taxes that all of us chipped in on.

  2. Weren’t the Republicans ” barking ” after Obama for not being tough on Russia. Now Potus is selling out to Putin in plain sight, (remember Helsinki!), going after his own Intel, trying to dig up dirt on a fellow American through Russian intelligence… What else can he do to stir up some sense of outrage, invite Putin to address the Senate maybe?. So much hypocrisy… Democrats are real Americans… PERIOD

    1. Abdoul Ba No Obama made fun of Romney for telling him he needed to be tougher on Russia. Forget that 2012 debate???

    2. if y’all are in need of a good laugh, google up a list of Obama’s accomplishments and place them alongside Trump’s.
      That is why Trump wins in a landslide next year. We don’t give an f– what gets SAID. We care what gets DONE.

  3. Do you really think Ukraine is going say there was a quid pro quo, if they did, America is not giving them the money……so you say no….

    1. Exactly. If the GOP saw a hostage video, they’d apparently believe the criminal’s claim that the hostage was being treated well, just based on the hostage saying so- as a gun is pointed at them, off camera. The GOP may not all be morons, but they certainly are betting that at least 59% of us are! Russia is off camera, pointing a gun at Ukraine, right now.

    2. They still haven’t received all of the money either and GOP isn’t saying anything about that. What has Trump done with the $35m is the question that needs to be asked by the Dems.

  4. Wouldn’t it be handy to have the actual transcript of the call, the one stored on the super secret server, instead of the “readout” from the call? Inquiring minds and all that….

    1. Kristen Rdesinski- It was a 23 minute call and the repugnican highly edited alternate version
      was only 9 minutes long. Colonel Vindman said the secret hidden part was even more damning than the extortion and bribery admissions in the part the White House released.

    2. YES. BUT TRUMP DOESN’T LET THE RELEASE OF THE CALL OR ANYONE TO TESTIFY. NOT EVEN DOCUMENTS THAT CONGRESS HAS DEMAND. TRUMP IS A CORRUPT COWARD CRAZY PERSON. HE THINKS HE’S ABOVE THE LAW.

    3. @Martha Martha – AND the GOP are up to their eyeballs deeply involved in trump’s crimes. WHATEVER YOU DO, VOTE BLUE 2020. Get the crooked con clown out of the Oval Office.

    1. @I Want Coconut I didnt realize that if you dont build the wall the US will become an Islamic State.. Lol. You must be a hick that doesn’t know that Mexicans are Roman Catholics. The wall is the least of Trumps concerns right now.

  5. there is also 35.2 million dollars of the aid money missing, go and ask that dog puke in oval office where is it at, ? THIS MESS MAKER HAD NO BUSINESS IN THE WH.

    1. @Kristen Rdesinski probably in the same place as you find your.other used produce; some “shithole country” where the rest of your used produce come from!
      Happy flushing!

  6. It shows how corrupted the system has become that the Republicans can even expect to lie openly and obviously in this way and have that mendacity actually BE their defence of the occupant. If the Leader of the Senate manipulates the “trial” to allow no witnesses to be called, that is not a trial and he should be impeached also – and go to jail and have his assets confiscated.

  7. Criminals of a feather Commit Crimes together, And when they get Caught, lt’s everyone else’s fault ! 🤯

    1. @8alot4t THAT’S FUNNY I KNEW HE LOOKED LIKE, SOMEONE I SEEN BEFORE SERIOUSLY ! 😁😂😀🥂👍🏻

  8. Stop calling it a transcript. It is not a transcript. The transcript is HIDDEN on a super secret server. I’m so sick of this snow job.

  9. It’s taken less than a decade to drive a wedge into the heart of the nation. Are you happy now GOP with what you have achieved?

    1. @Rual The evidence is overwhelming, just because you choose to ignore it and instead listen to made up fiction by trump and the republicans, does NOT mean it doesn’t exist!

    2. Mr.D    ………………..     That weasely shyster that’s the Republican counsel reminds me of the stuttering incompetent lawyer in “My Cousin Vinnie” .

    3. George W  ……………….   The Founders considered Abuse of Power to be the Highest crime along with Treason . You are a DOPE !
