    3. Most risque thing uttered in the 60’s by June Cleaver, “Ward, don’t you think you were a little rough on the beaver last night?”

    4. @Donald Smith I like Ash, you not so much. Perhaps you could cut down on the coffee, the stupid, and the cult behavior. It would do you good. General James Mattis “His aides and friends said he found the president to be of limited cognitive ability and generally dubious character” 

      “It is certain, in any case, that ignorance allied with power,– is the most ferocious enemy justice can have” James Baldwin Trump will be remembered as dumb Richard Nixon.

      Senator Lindsay Graham prior to his sterilization: “He’s a race baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party, he doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.” 

      “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed……….and we will deserve it” Senator Lindsay Graham, May 3rd, 2016. 

      “It’s hard to calculate the damage that president Trump’s overt racism and almost daily attacks on black and brown people are having on the fabric of our nation.”

      Despite his fiscal loyalty to Republicans after 2011, Trump was questioned about his political contributions to Democrats while on the campaign trail. During a June 2015 interview, Trump was asked why he donated to the Clinton Foundation and other prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton (N.Y.), Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), John Kerry (Mass.), and Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), President Obama’s White House chief of staff, among others.

    2. @Real American Sadly 4 U Communist Nazi News or Clinton Nazi News is About Ready to go out of Business With the Alphabet Clan – MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, BBC Closely Following Suit!!!

    3. @timandsue legere That is how it’s Supposed to be Done When There is PROOF of Criminal Activity,
      but Since POTUS TRUMP Hasn’t Committed any Crimes, “There is NO PROOF Only ANTI AMERICA SATANIST GLOBALIST DEMONCRAP BULL SH1T PERIOD”!!!

    1. @Eric Komar i think the other guy has a good point, you don’t have anywhere close to all the whites in this country on your side

    2. @Eric Komar never mind its a troll folks, i do this same kind of thing on fox news comment sections getting people riled up

    3. @Somebody We don’t need all of the Whites. We just need all of the Whites who are amenable to our sort of reasoning.

      Thankfully, a substantial chunk of those Whites drive pickup trucks, grow their own food, and shoot guns for fun. I’d say they’re mostly there on the issues that matter and just need a little push to see things a little clearer.

    4. @NotMe Us What a great thought: Blacks and whites united standing up to the Racist White Republican Pukes. Now _that_ is some racism I can actually get behind.

    1. Donna Willams most of those are not true. Sorry, but they are just fabrications. You need to learn not to trust modern day news sources. Most of them lie. Right wing and left wing news makes things up.

    1. And 174 Republican Representatives DID NOT SEEK TO DISRUPT THIS HEARING!! This was clearly a stunt by the numbskulls like Nunez, Gaetz, Gomez et al. Truly disgraceful behaviour by this so called “Freedom Caucus.”

    2. @Donald Smith , “uncultured” voters? What does that mean? Trump supporters aren’t known for their knowledge of other cultures or even civics, which is why they voted for a moronic, rambling buffoon that has no respect for the law.

    1. I agree, lock up Schiff he has defamatory statements against the Potus. It was a parody? So was the Republicans walking into that “Non secert” Per Shiff, meeting.

    1. @rotaryrocket74 Then so be it. If they are corrupt, they have to go, even if its all of them. And go to jail if warrented.

    2. @Bev Sputler please…the only thing the Dumocrats are capable of doing is naming post offices…don’t give them that much credit…what about the USMC or the border situation Pelilosi won’t put up?l

    3. @Paul Odiase “If it’s what you say. I love it. especially later in the summer” – Don Jr. Russian collusion was not “bullshit” – even if you traitors managed to repeat the lie enough to convince most that it’s true.

    1. @Shawn Corbin some of the Republican members that stormed the room are actually on the committee that was doing the questioning

    2. @Freewheelin’ Franklin Insults won’t lead to victory. Being on the side of truth no matter where it takes you, no matter how painful, will.

    3. @Shawn Corbin
      Yea, that’s a joke to suggest being on the side of truth while supporting an idiot that has lied directly you over 11,0000 times.

  2. They feel like they can act whatever way they want because they act any way they want and nothing is done about it

    1. All of Congress needs to be allowed to read the transcripts of all of these depositions, and all who desire should be allowed to attend because the power of impeachment applies to the whole body of the House of Representatives, not just a committee or the Speaker of the House.(Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5, US Constitution) It is unconstitutional to exclude any Member of Congress from knowing all that is going on in this process. It’s not Congressman Schiff’s place to restrict access in what the Democrats are calling an impeachment inquiry, because anything to do with impeachment is exercising a power that belongs to every House of Representatives Member.

      Also, the rules of the House would require an impeachment inquiry to begin in the Judiciary Committee, but that committee has been completely shut out. The Constitution requires more than 80% of Congress to agree to keep something secret in their proceedings (Article 1, Section 5, Clause 3, US Constitution) That means 349 or more of the 435 House Members would need to agree to exercise impeachment power via an impeachment inquiry or deposition, in secrecy, before it would be Constitutional to do so.

    2. @Michael Jensen This is an investigation. Go to youtuber Beau of the Fifth Column’s video about secret impeachment hearings. If, after viewing his very clear explanation, you still have this opinion, then you are either a trump apologist or a Russian/Iran troll.

    1. basher basher no they are trying to record so they can coerce witnesses and concoct matching stories. These men are freakin DESPICABLE. Every decent American should be outraged!!

  3. Geez, don’t those reds know what year we’re in..? Where’s their whigs; did they need to check their muskets at the chamber door..

  4. remember this is trump idea,he said the democrat’s really stick together,the republican’s need to learn from them and stick up for their party.

  5. 1. All participants in this action should have their security clearances checked.
    2. Should not be allowed to hold meetings in the scif.

  6. There Should Be Consequences. Get This In Line Now. Slap those protesters back! Congressional Hearings Are Protected By Law.

  7. I wish the Dems were tougher. Y’all let the republicans get away with everything which is why 30-40% of the country are still pro Trump 🤷🏾‍♀️.
