  1. While dump does a mob boss deal. FKKK DUMP, OK. SERGEANT AT ARMS NEED TO CUFF THE 3 STOOGES, DUMP, POMPEO, BARR.

  2. Oh, oh, they caught Trump orange handed.
    This is how many years in prison Trump deserves:
    👇🏽

    1. What reality show would the Dems SIT and watch??

      Oh the irony!!!!

      Fall in line good lil comrades!!!

      Don’t upset Mutha Russia!!!!

      🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    2. The President’s corruption will not win. We will overcome this. There will be bruises and maybe lacerations to our democracy but I TRUST this great nation to over come. We are a hard working nation, a nation of big thinkers and a nation of determination. That is in our blood, the blood we inherited from our brave immigrant ancestors and the blood spilled by them and their sons and daughters to keep our nation free.

    1. @Bigmoneyv …Are At Least Face A VOTE Of EXPULSION. Call Your Representatives and Demand A VOTE To EXPELL Mitch McConnell From the Senate.

  3. I’m not a person that hates but I HATE 45!!!! He needs to be thrown out and put behind bars… Those innocent ppl in Syria are dieing!!!! Please someone put us ALL out of our misery and jail that cold-hearted criminal 😠

    1. Me Us —🎯 same here, the sooner we end trump tyranny the safer the country and the world will be. It’s time for all Americans to do our civic duty—stand up and DEFEND our constitution against traitor trump

    1. @Crimdor …no, it’s not my first language but can you speak mine ? I didn’t know you are in a position to tell me not to have an opinion on what’s happening in the US as well as in the rest of the world. Now I just hope you understand what I just wrote bc you know…my English being that bad 🤣

  4. Erdogan threatens Trump’s towers in Istanbul so Trump pulls out US forces and sacrifices the Kurds. It is so much worse than Ukraine and Russia.

    1. That’s a little on the nose, don’t you think, Angela?
      Beyond that, our other allies around the world will no longer trust the U.S.
      Trump said America first, and that’s okay. But soon it will mean America alone.

  5. Yeah, good luck on getting it to the Senate for a vote with Moscow Mitch in charge. He’ll bury it just like he has the background checks for guns and the other election reform bills.

    1. Heather Shaw He also refused to let the bipartisan bill about making it criminal to accept election help from foreign countries get voted on either. Maybe Mitch needs to get a subpoena—did he have prior knowledge about the president’s actions?

    2. @S H I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. He does get money from Russian oligarchs as well as the NRA. So it’s not surprising at all that those happen to be some of the bills he’s squashed. Money well spent for them, I guess. Too bad it goes against the interests of the voters.

  6. Moscow Mitch will just block the bill from reaching the Senate floor… He understands that if we upgrade our election security, then the hostile foreign powers that be (like Russia) won’t be able to help Republicans get elected (which is their only hope for having any power at all in the main three branches of government). Even Russia understands that if they want to undermine our democracy, divide our people, and ruin our economy; they need Republicans to be in power, since they generally have no qualms about betraying their own country for money.

    1. How right you are, that’s why Americans need to come out in overwhelming numbers and vote out every republican that helped trump obstruct the impeachment proceedings!

  7. Moscow Mitch will do nothing to upset the Russians who invested in Kentucky, and are keeping his base happy with jobs. Russia has bought McConnel.

    1. @Grumpy Oldfella *Can’t play hippie when our leader’s platform is based on bipartisan differences. First remove and replace. Then start anew!*

    2. @Walt Schmidt You missed the *whole point 2016 Trump was working on this long before that, the servers were broken into on March 27th of 2016! Obama couldn’t do anything he knew as it was happening!*

    3. @Grumpy Oldfella ….”Why not spend our time” … Why Not? Men Like MCCONNELL, PUTIN and TRUMP are Why. FIRST Clean and Level The Playing Field THEN Address World Peace.

    1. Melissa Hudson no!!! Absolutely not, we don’t want him here in Alaska either. I say, he likes Russia so much, exile him to Siberia!!!

    1. It’s going to take more than that, Mandy, a lot more.
      The misinformation campaign is alive and well and living in America.

    2. @Richard Darlington Right. But both things need to get done. Here in Virginia we have paper ballots after the Governor attempted to vote for s Democrat Senator and the vote registered Republican. Then he tried again. It still came out Republican. Then he called for support and found out his vote can be remotely “corrected”….

  8. Make all ad sources public. Putin made my iowa mom swoon with all her new “local” pro-Trump friends.

  9. Adolf Hitler — “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” — “The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.”

  10. TIME TO SEND HIGH GEARED NAVY SEAL COMMANDOS TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND ARREST THESE TRAITORS AND LAWBREAKERS – DEAD OR ALIVE AND PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AMERICA !

  11. WHY WON’T MOSCOW MITCH ALLOW THE SENATE TO VOTE ON HR-1? WHY ARE THEY NOT PASSING A PAPER BALLOT SYSTEM OR IS THAT TO EASY TO DO? REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT ACCOUNTABILITY, PROTECT OUR ELECTIONS OR FACE WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IF WE THE PEOPLE SEE THE GOP CHEAT AGAIN.
