Vulnerable Democrats Come Out In Support Of Impeachment | Deadline | MSNBC
You got a bigger balls than those congressmen in your party and the other party .
Possessing testicles doesn’t insure courage.
@sun dial and I bet your A KKK !
@Bruce Boring bcoz u have no balls . You are so offended . Hohoho
THe BLUE WAVE elected many DEMS for the purpose of impeaching the MF so they are smart its why they got elected
Sorry, Durant, but liberals aren’t communists. They’re the reverse. And Nazis aren’t conservative.
@Durant Voltor way to use the trigger word they use to control weak minded people like you
@Durant Voltor Trump is the Communist. He is best friends with Putin and the Il guy from North Korea. Trump supporters are the communists!!!!
@Metalosopher Authoritarian commies. Trump especially likes the authoritarian part.In fact, it’s all trump cares about.
Good for her, she made a decision. As a former intelligence officer I would be surprised if she didn’t make this choice.
What u mean? U think they have blackmail on her and are making her vote impeachment?
Kudos to her know it wasn’t done lightly, she did some soul searching.
SAY IT WITH ME…. DEEP STATE
*Republican Senators and Congressmonsters have been paid by Putin through the National Rifle Association so won’t convict Trump. So corrupt!*
Rory Cannon Russia gave the NRA over $30 million, this then went to Trump’s campaign and other Republicans. You need to get some news.
@KevinsOneHundredDollarLyrics Com
It was in all the papers.
So Biden is on video bragging about getting an investigator / prosecutor fired for looking into his son. So fine let’s say Trumpvgets what you think he deserves. Does it matter equally that Hillary and Biden broke the law or do we ignore and not look at that also ?
@KevinsOneHundredDollarLyrics Com Not that I agree with your premise but it seems your thinking other people commit crimes so I should be able to commit crimes? That is the Republican platform? – ANARCHY NOW! Let’s see how that works out for you when you get what you ask for.
Putting Constitutional Duty over Self-Preservation ( re-election) is a concept Repukes are too chickensh*t to accept.
Or understand.
A VOTE FOR TRUMP IS A
STAB IN THE HEART OF
OUR GREAT DEMOCRACY!!
HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IN
OUR CONSTITUTION! HE
SAID IT WAS PHONY!
COME ON PEOPLE. DON’T
LET TRUMP/ PUTIN AND
A FEW REPUBLICANS IN
PUTIN’S POCKET DESTROY
OUR GREAT NATION.
VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY!
BLUE IS FOR AMERICA!!!
GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!
It’s great to see that we have patriotic Democrats who will vote for the Constitution, even at the risk of losing their jobs. Now if only there were some Republicans who were patriotic…
Those Republicans seem to think their stench of collusion with corruption won’t linger until the next election.
I think putin offered them oligarch status to destroy our democracy.
Who cares about Repungents,
longs as the Dems keep their Honour an truth.
That lives forever.
The woman has guts!
Yes, that’s how it should be cause women are the ones that are training world leaders…Men I meant.
Good for her, this is about saving our Democracy, doing what’s right.
It’s not about saving our democracy to democrats , for democrats it’s all about political retribution , because the country dared to reject the hildabeast
Rookie rep Slotkin believes in what she is saying and doing. She is a loyal American and officer of the courts acting in Utmost Good Faith here! Great show today🦄
We are currently facing a Constitutional crisis, and our democracy as we know it is on the line. This impeachment transcends party affiliation. This impeachment is about whether or not we still have a Constitution. It’s about whether or not the rule of law still exists. I salute Elissa Slotkin for standing up for the Constitution and for what’s right, and for remaining true to her oath.
The true character of a person will always be revealed when they are faced with a crisis or adversity. And the eternal question will always be, when it truly mattered, did they do the right thing? So far, republicans have failed..
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
― Thomas Paine, The Crisis
Here’s another quote that often comes to my mind these days “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” — millions of Americans over the last 230 years (myself included).
If Trump is not a domestic enemy of the Constitution who could ever be?
well said again sir
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌊🌊🌊🌊
Those people booing don’t care about the constitution.
Of course not, they’re lost sheep.
From what I see, most who blindly support trump do so just because their 401 Ks are doing really well. BUT what they fall to see is the inevitable failure of the markets in the near future…. likely before the 2020 election.
has nothing to do with the constitution, thats just what the demonkkkrats mention to trick you into believing it.
How about that part of the constitution that says , the person with the most electoral college votes , is the president ?
I ask because you stupid democrats have no problem with ignoring that part of the constitution
You can’t have a republic if one only one side is following the rules. It’s like playing Scrabble with a king who keeps making up words.
Covfefe!
You can’t have a republic with just two opposing sides too.
I am not even getting into the part that both parties are funded by the same source and catering to its benefit.
The situation in USA and UK isn’t coincidental and if these news organizations weren’t a part of the problem they would be reporting on it 24/7
@Raren77
“FOISTERED”
Long ago and far away they did. The fix has been in for quite some time.
Avoid Corporate media.
There will be a lot of Republicans voted out of the Senate if so Trump will wish he had resigned.
yep this seems like, what goes around comes around moment. Karma!
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
It is congress’ job to protect us from a lawless president and his rabid base. Thank you, Miss Slotkin.
true that but we have been sold out
Democrats win when they stand together and they live out their principles.
A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin!!
Crazy comment
I’m glad to see she’s following her conscience. It’s good to someone on the side of good and courage to risk her political career for the right thing. I tip my hat to you miss.
Its easy to defend the truth.
Kudos to her. She has more spine and balls than those GOP wackos
Slotkin is what integrity looks like.
Yes! Trust most of America is ready for this man to go. He is a cancer on our society!! Good for her!!
He is not going out. Senate is not removing him lol
