Mac Dunkin a leader elected president by the people of this nation in an election outlined by the constitution. Take off your blinders. The so called “ fascist orange man bad” is the victim of a hidden coup that is about to be exposed. No doubt you will continue support the unelected in their quest to shape the country through subversion. I never liked Trump, however, I love my country and I have no problem recognizing what’s best for the USA.
@Mighty Shanolgorhythm I don’t care how Trump fights career politicians their fake news Mediot cronies and the new socialist commies. We sent him there to disrupt the status quo and stop the sellout of America. Hes obviously doing a bang up job. He’s delivered on all of his promises plus more. He’s destroyed the Bush dynasty (never Trumpers) and the Clinton dynasty and her fake news Media single handedly. He’s reset the Republican Party and exposed the crooks on the left. So much winning! It’s just the beginning…
ya but today’s discovery into Mr. Taylor’s testimony show he only have 5th person accountability, thoughts ? This definitely does not help impeachment at all, the people would need a lot more before that can happen. Maybe time will tell, well see
Randy Sanders I will gladly vote for DJT in 2020. He’s clearly what this country needs. To the idiots trying to say the deep state is the state, “you are delusional!”
Meen while, fox has the new scape goat, Matt Gaetz on damage control and cover up mode. Lol. It’s so obvious to see what the truth is. The truth was told today on Capital Hill! Life long career of Bill Taylor, or the trump lie scapegoat. Humm who do i trust with the truth. ….. lol. *Good job Bill Taylor!*
Yeah and they always say “Republican Congressman” and not his name, probably so people won’t recognize he’s essentially a pundit.
Fox’s big headline on Hannity tonight was “Hillary Epstein cover up” LOL 😂 So much desperation.
TRUMP IS DONE!!! LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!!!
@Doug Turner dont forget those in power feel the same way
@Thomas McCracken unfortunately I think its over the proof is McConnell and the rest of the good old boys. They are with him and them. This nation as we know it is over. He has exposed all the tricks and schemes associated with our Government IRS FBI etc. Its over. Time to hit the reset button.
@Doug Turner thats cause it is, media bias and spin doesnt equal facts and evidence lol sry lil buddy
@Justus Reigns ….”Party before Country”.. Show Them The Exit Door. Your VOTE IS YOUR POWER.
@Thomas McCracken …. Pretension is an important behavior to recognize Thomas. Which is why I suggested Civics Be INTRODUCED beginning in Elementary School through Grade 12. You miss read my comment. Whether by intent or fortuitously the ‘Removal’ of Civic from our Scholars Curriculum has had a disastrous impact.
We can despair and moan and goan OR we can CONFRONT Our Country’s issues and Take ACTION. When the media Polls Individuals who do not know what an Emolument is, the Poll is a MUTE Point. Lack of Informed Citizenry May Serve Some Specific Interest but it does Not Serve the Country’s Interests As A Whole. Although you misunderstood my comment, we Ultimately Agree. Somehow the needs of people supporting Trump must be addressed with Actions. Education in Civics is one action.
Trump is an ignorant, cowardly thug, and always has been. And he’s perfected each of the aforementioned character descriptions. Someone please put him down to half-mast.
@Karl K It’s not a coup d’etat, you may not like it, your going to dispute it, but the bottom line is the man violated his oath of office period. I understand your watching your hero fall from grace…
There are so many “moving parts”, and names, and pieces of evidence that it is often hard to see the whole picture. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with details. There are three parts to this saga–the preparation (Guiliano, Sondland, Volker and others push Ukrainian officials about already debunked theories in exchange for aid and recognition), the call where trump asks for a “favor though” in exchange for aid, and the cover-up (transcript buried in top secret server, obstruction of witnesses and documents etc.). The investigation is uncovering who was involved in each of the three parts and how deep the corruption goes.
@Karl K with as much humility as I can muster (& your comment seems to be genuine and heartfelt), i have to say that you are deluded. Sorry.
Michael Cohen: I told you so, I told you about the Don, head of of his Disorganized Crime Family, Yeah😀! I told you..😆😁😂!
I finally found out what D.C. stands for under the current administration 😂😆😂
The dominos start to fall, the wall begins to crumble, Trumpty Dumpty will tumble, and I feel like dancing the Mambo.
Hahahahahahaha!
somastic69 No Clinton was already serving his second term.
@somastic69 maybe you can find his tax return and the caravans in there too.. along with the Devin Nunez memo that was going to put everyone in jail.
@Maureenn Brown https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-destroys-fundraising-records-rakes-in-300-million-for-re-election-campaign
Now shut your mouth.
@Marjorie Margel your right about Clinton. Now explain this :
https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-destroys-fundraising-records-rakes-in-300-million-for-re-election-campaign
This guy is AIRBORNE. Good luck to Any partisan hack looking to demean or discredit the Ambassador.
Don’t worry, Trump will be tweeting about how corrupt Taylor is and that he was a coward when he was in the Army.
101 Airborne Division. How more patriotic they ask to protect for the Bone Spoor Duarf.
Two former Soviet states killing each other, a wet dream.
Send more weapons ASAP.
Mr. Taylor you are a true patriot, thank you. Mr. Trump you are a criminal.
Cornelius Gal Put the crack pipe down stupid. The clown is guilty. And please go get yourself some professional mental help stupid because obviously you need it Badly. Dummy
@Cornelius Gal _”They will help Mr. Trump change our constitution so he can serve a third term in office.”_
Stupid russian bot.
@Cornelius Gal
Patriots do not want a KING. YOU DO!
You want to change the CONSTITUTION to benefit one man over the country.
You are a TRAITOR.
looks like the clown car has lost another wheel
Best reply!
singing bird how many wheels on that f#__#. thanks😁
No, the clown car has been replaced with a push bike. Admittedly pretty dented up, but it’s still got the original training wheels. Can you imagine seeing Trump pedalling for his life 😉?
Awesome. We need more people like him protecting our country
And we need people like him protected until they get to testify.
You have, there are thousands and you let trump trash them by putting idiots and criminals in charge of each of the departments with the stated intent of destroying the department.
You do mean we need more people like Taylor. Kudos to Taylor.
This maniac has been trashing the very Constitution he took a sacred oath to uphold and protect. This cannot be tolerated! He is a traitor plain and simple.
Lanny Dumbauld Benedict Donald
@Hopsta true
That is the major crime Lanny .
Trump wasn’t paying attention or listening to the Oath as it was being read to him. He was waiting to run up the Whitehouse Stairs leaving Melandia in that Black Escalade to get into the Whitehouse.
Believe him with his background,or believe trump who has no honor you be the judge
Absolutely no honor whatsoever. He doesn’t love our country. He loves Donald Trump.
Ambassador Bill Taylor is an American hero.
He is what we need in this bleak moment of history.
Better than Mueller
And get rid of criminal “el presidente” ………………….
Taylor is a proven leaker and liar. Donald Trump is our best President ever.
Competent honest fellow with credibility beyond question…GOOD for him recognizing the countries needs overwhelm all else.
Trump supporters will still believe Roger stone even after his indictment.
@AZ66GT350 Mustang They voted to “Ban all Muslims” !!!
They literally voted against the Fist Amendment ! We know what to expect.
Trump supporters are by definition Anti-American.
@mrmockatoo 🤣🤣
@Jack J Sorry Jack…I was doing some self-reflection. I was going to drop some mockatoo poo on you from my perch but I see there are some other perfectly sane people prepared to debate the matter with you. They don’t seem at all vindictive or divisive. Maybe that’s a bridge too far for you.
@Donnie Draftdodger Hey kid, if I agree with you, we can both be wrong.
Time to find common sense and know when you’re being played the fool.
You can believe him or not, but trump admitted to it. That’s all you need.
@Edd Grs 😎 It was a while ago but Yes.
@Edd Grs Tell Boris Johnson “hi”.
Agreed but for some reasons members of the GOP (which I am part off) won’t believe. As for myself, I am remaining a member of said political group but will no way support President Trump; if this makes me a RINO, so be it.
@Edd Grs President Trump can confront the UN on it’s anti-semitic agenda, can move the embassy to Jerusalem, make the NATO partners pay their share, stop our money being used to pay terrorists by the Palestinian Authority, tackle China over it’s unfair trade practices and theft of USA technology, do and attempt to do everything he ran on like building the wall and bringing out troops home, presiding over an economy that has never been better, brought jobs back. He came into office already a millionaire, not like most politicians who turn into millionaires while in office, he donates his Presidential salary to the vets.
But it wouldn’t matter what good Trump does, those with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ will only see ‘orange man bad!’
@McKittrick Hyatt Exactly. Like they said, this man’s 50 year resume speaks for itself. He is a patriot, one of very few left in this country, of the highest order. He’s got more experience in his first 5 years of diplomacy than Trump will ever have in his lifetime.
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Impeachment is coming.
Then you will be through.
Edd Grs Uh, hate to inform you this but Faux News is moving away from the Toxic Crime Boss President, several Republicans are suddenly “retiring”, leaving their political careers behind. The Republican Party is heavily damaged permanently. Even Fox News has given up.
Did you hear on the news – Donald claims that a self driving car was chasing him the other day and it definitely looked like it was out to get him!!
President DONNA JANE TRUMP IS THE ANTICHRIST of Revelation and a TRANNY
“These people ARE the servants of the State. It is Trump who was attempting to create a Deep State.”
Absolutely true.
@Civil Villain Please do not spread lies about Donald Trump, our best President ever. Mr. Trump will not be removed from office because he controls the GOP, the Senate and the Supreme Court. They will help him change our constitution so he can serve a third term in office. God bless President Trump. Please support him.
Don’t waste your time responding to “Cornelius Gal”, it is a Russian troll.
@BreakTheWheel Now What are you trying to say? Is Taylor a Russian troll?
@Cornelius GalI still think you are winding me up so I’m done with you.
Anyone who is still covering for trump should be looked into.
Yea but Putnam is top of lists lists or is bad mouthing Hillary leaving a suplus still prioritised ?. Can,t let free energy in either MORE NUKES LESS KUKES ,right wings comradeship. Right?
Fun being righteous. Not right but left in a good way.
Trump said he’d run America like he runs his businesses. Why is everyone so surprised now he he’s doing just that?
@s.l. Leung I respect your opinion
@D SP I agree the bidens will have to take responsibility for what they’ve done but I don’t think it’s going to happen
@Claude Fletcher😊
Here’s the scary thing: if the Democrats hadn’t taken control of the House, NONE of this would have come to light. The Republicans would have continued to cover for the most corrupt “president” in American history.
Could you imagine what would have happened to the whistleblower? The Republicans would have squashed any impeachment talk.
That’s a scary thought….and you are right.
rant404. It was the US electorate in 2018 that took control of the House away from Reps, in order to thwart the Trump madness. It’s taken Dems a long time to execute the mandate they were given. But we are finally here. Whatever the consequences, the Dems are doing the work of the US and the Constitution, and hopefully the Reps will be dragged along as well.
Amen to that.. I got out and voted in the midterms.. as a matter of fact, I am still waiting on those caravans.. you know the ones that Fox news and dumb dumb ranted and raved about for weeks and weeks prior to the midterms? I wonder what is keeping them?
Scary
