    1. Andrew Mastin Have you watched any Fox lately? It’s one big denial and smear festival, ignoring key facts and making up others to manufacture even more anger and outrage among the Trumpers. These are adults sounding like a bunch of junior high students trying to throw shade on the people who caught their best friend shoplifting from the 7-11.

    2. The ShadowMan.  Why won’t you even think refusing their already approved money was in anyway even.  Eukraine was desperately fighting a Russian invasion by Putin. You know, Trumps buddy. Think further than trumps words.  Please.

    1. @Stand United – This thread is too long to open now. I don’t have time and don’t remember the original comment I made.
      I do know that the Republicans and Trump refute facts every single day though.

    1. Mustang .308 this is not a typical quart room setting. This is totally different! There is no jury to convince other than the Republicans. Trump is guilty and he knows it he’s getting closer and closer to seeing you did it. And his defense will be I didn’t know that this was a quid pro quote. When in fact he did. He did it twice on live TV. And no you wasn’t joking and no he wasn’t batting the press. He meant it. Let’s not forget all the other crimes that he is committed since he’s been in office. Let’s not forget the proven crimes that he committed before he ran for president. Let’s not forget the crimes that he committed during his campaign. Not only him but his campaign managers his lawyers his children. Let’s not forget his children they still do not have complete security clearance in the White House. If the Republicans want to sell themselves to the devil and not impeach him then let the people of the United States put him out of office. I hope somewhere down the line we have a Democratic president like this and the Democrats have control of the House and the Senate. And you are on the other side. Praying for the president to be impeached. Trump has broken so many laws since he’s been in office it’s not even funny. He will be persecuted once he leaves office that is for sure. He won’t be able to stop the Mueller report from being reopened once he leaves office. He will then have to appear in answer like a normal human being. But wait he will claim that he has dementia at that point. Because he already has dementia, and yes hate in his heart. Maybe you do too I’m just guessing.

    2. ARE YOU A LIAR? Can you use facts to defend your statements? Or are you just angry and repeating lies trump said??? Because, it looks now that you are saying, these people who have spent their lives working for and defending the u.s. in the military and public service, they are all liars, risking going to prison by lying to congress? But trump, the draft dodger who has lied to us over and over again, is the honest patriot? Can you defend what you say with facts? You’re dismissing these people’s character and accusing them of felonies.can you prove any of what you say? Or are you a lackey repeating what trump tells you what you are ordered to think and say?

    3. @milkmoneydunny they’re called “obedient sycophants” to Trump, but De’jure LAW is coming back away from de’facto…

  1. T-SHIRTS & blue caps “ I’m a whistleblower “ starts the movement. It will be an historical collectors items, stamp with the donkey & the flag .

    1. @Alex Hamilton
      Really? Then why is there a message on every hand dryer in public restrooms advising you to push the button for a short message from Trump and Pence?

    2. @Alex Hamilton even IF that’s true, it’s FAR better than being a pathological LYING conman, who LIES as easily as everyone else breaths!

    3. @Daryl Leckt That is too cruel and lowering yourself to the level of the other side. And things get worse and worse.
      There are enough stinging possibilities without being cruel.

    4. Trump is doing an amazing job draining that swamp. I mean we all know rats will jump from a sinking ship. And I’m pretty sure that’s what we are seeing.

    1. @Hill Alley
      That’s pretty comical coming from the side that’s been kicking and screaming for 3 years.
      Bet you said the same thing about “The Mueller Report” too. 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪

    1. We want the walls to close in far enough to squash the entire Administration – they no longer server our country.

    1. @Judy Woodburnseparating a child from his or her family is a human rights violation, but the US is the only UN member that did not ratify the Rights of a Child convention. That includes bastions of freedom like The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am guessing it’s because a lot of higher-ups in the US government and the oligarchs and theocrats that pay them enjoy violating children at places like Epstein’s playgrounds.

    2. @Judy Woodburn What is a crime is to allow someone to take your children with them so they can gain entrance to a country illegally.

    3. Oh please, they are being treated better than most American kids. They get free food, free housing, free medicine, free legal services etc…

    1. @Vengeful Revenge of the blue November A legally elected president means we did choose. Just because you didn’t win doesn’t mean you get to throw the game board across the room. By the way weren’t you the one that said they were busy at work but would get back to answering relevant questions like: What specific law says quid pro quo is illegal? What specific law says a president must follow internal executive branch procedures and protocol? What specific law are the impeachment inquiry stating that the president broke?

    2. The facts, recordings and viable witnesses have made it clear that what trump did was purely self-serving.  Besides the obvious, he was following Putins desires, and trying to please him.

    3. All trump would have to do is make sure the investigation doesn’t end until after the election.  Think about it,  Do you still believe trump is one bit honorable?

    4. @Amelia Kittie First the facts, recordings and witnesses do not make clear he did it for self serving reasons. Not a single one says they heard him say so. The say he did it and they didn’t agree with him doing it. Several say in their opinion it looks self serving. Huge difference there. I don’t know why he did it for sure because nothing has proven that issue. If they get a witness that claims the president said this was for election would be evidence.

      Second I disagree. The democrats already said it would be over by the beginning of November and the democrats control the process. If it is dragged into the election year I would suspect them before Trump. This is not within his control.

  2. “Lev and Igor” – I don’t believe I will ever get past that basic fact. Unable-to-Count Giuliani has created a fable with Russian-speaking goons who are – according to their documentation – Lev and Igor. Reality is on hiatus.

    Perhaps the whole thing can be set to the tune of “I’ve got a little list” from The Mikado.

    1. D Parks he said he didn’t know Nancy Pelosi was so dumb,History is going to record her as probably the greatest speaker in history l wonder how history will record kennedy.

  3. Well, thank goodness for someone speaking out… This monster is on his way out… Life has changed for so many people since he started taking even more advantage of everything he could possibly take advantage of.

    1. …and then RELEASE the actual transcript wtf.- are they that dumb, or just think we are? Even the bs laden ‘trumpscript’ does not in any way exonerate him, but makes him look guilty af

    1. More like, the corruption the USA has been infesting the world with for the last 50 years has finally started happening right out in the open.
      The whole world already hated you. It’s just now the average american is finding out why. You actually deserve terror attacks.

  4. The fact that it’s even a question whether or not DJT has a chance of getting reelected is such an indictment on this country.
