  1. There is no defense , it has been common knowledge for 40 years the Trump family are Career Criminals and it appears the GOP are following that criminality

  2. All I hear is Whining, instead of Leading. Constantly Blaming Others for his Crimes, while EVERYONE around Trump is either in Jail, in PRISON, or on Trial for IMPRISONMENT, or under huge Scandal. Trump’s trying to Blind people to his Guilt, which has been from DAY ONE, Nothing but DRAMA, SCANDAL, CORRUPTION, & NONSTOP PROBLEMS. Plus he’s FACTCHECKED FOR 14K, LIES…Using those Same Poor people, who he said 3 years ago, he would never have in his Administration while using the Presidency as his private Bank.

    1. Todd, exactly. This guy is nothing but a con man all his life and he’s willing to sell anyone, I mean anyone including his kids if he has to, to save himself

    2. i just can’t believe people still support this brazen, pathological liar. We have NEVER seen the likes of a wicked devil like this.

    1. @eric hoppe
      *Did You Read The Constitution?*
      NO STATES ARE ALLOWED TO SUCCEED FROM THE UNION!
      *ALL CONFEDERATIONS ARE ILLEGAL, CONFEDERATE, CONFEDERACY!*
      Written In The Constitution.
      The Right To Bare Arms Granted Only TO FORM A MILITIA WHENEVER THE STATE COMES UNDER THREAT! *An Army Not For Personal Use!*
      Firearms was allowed due to the reality of what was going on.
      As towns became more civil, Laws Was Changed Towards Having Weapons And The Need For Them.

    2. @bingbonga binga you are as delusional as Republicans are cowards if you think I’d ever vote for a racist, cowardly, illiterate fool like Trump.

  3. Republicans are SELLOUTS to Russia. I wonder how many seats will be Senate and House will turn blue. 😂

    1. The Senate? 6 year terms of service, Moscow Mitch + 21 more Republican seats in the Senate are up for re-election Nov 3rd 2020, only 12 Democrats. “National Registered Voter Turnout in Federal Elections” it’s a website. 2016? the lowest in 20 years and Republican lost by just under 3 Million, 2018 set new Mid-term records. The highest Mid-term turn-out number in history, the highest Mid-term % in over 100 years. 114 Million Citizens of the United States of America voted and Republicans lost by over 10 Million, they just lost 2019. Nov 3rd 2020, they are getting their @$$’$ kicked, HARD!

    1. Junior Soprano yeah he’s gotten more people indicted and imprisoned than anyone else.

      He’s actually draining the swamp pretty well of the corrupt people he put in place.

      Just 45 and his current cronies left now to complete the set.

  4. “The Republicans aren’t struggling with anything!”??…hmm, morality, integrity, the constitution, law, human decency, respect, religion, greed, paranoia, science, democracy, Reality!….those do appear to have been short circuited in the GOP meat modems, after further review.

    1. I think REGULAR PEOPLE HAD PAPER.
      Sent news everywhere about murder.
      Some soldiers were innocent.
      On pg1 all US HISTORY BOOKS.
      I think it’s the age of media.

  5. Why isn’t anyone talking about Lindsay G. / G.O.P Refusing to read the transcripts and refusing to acknowledged any wrongdoing..
    #RemoveAllRepublicansIn2020

    1. F0R_TH3 PE0PL3 False. Per the Constitution, the House and the Senate make their own operating rules. There is no Constitutional requirement to vote on an investigation before it can be carried out. Besides, they did vote on it last week, you dumbfuck cultist.

    2. If I were to say what really needs to be done TO those Senate and Congressional Republicans taking Trump’s side, the Secret Service and  Capitol police would be at my door kicking it in.Trump should not be allowed Secret Service protection.  On the other hand, I don’t want him to end up being a martyr.

  6. Wow, with a little bit of background information and knowing that Trump knows exactly what he is doing (like using distractions) it is amazing to watch to what extent he is lying everyone right into the face and using people for his own benefit. He realy is a pure criminal to the bone.

    1. Have you been watching him what he’d say and do. confess to do harrasment, to many crimes andsad things. and I can’t believe how some people are intimidated by immigrants and people of color. because they become better and honestly if you see them happy you think is not fair cuz you are not. Then you get angry.and let a guy like this to run the country. I don’t believe we Americans are that stupid, am pretty sure all this people here are just trolls from another government. Giuliani? It sounds like he is trying to bring Trump down.!?

  7. If you have to rush in and interrupt the press to loudly shout “We are not struggling on anything”…. You’re struggling on everything.

    1. Those Trump defending clowns Meadows, Jordan and Graham are making themselves look stupider every day. Lindsay used to have some credibility before he hitched his wagon to the Trump train, soon to become the Titanic.

  8. GOP & WH Strategy: obstruct, obfuscate, deny, reframe, lie, gaslight, & move the goalposts.

    And when all fails, claim it “doesn’t rise to the level of an impeachable offense”.

    1. Dann Marceau Barr’s refusal to publicly say Trump did nothing wrong makes it very clear that things are NOT good in the land of make believe.

  9. Rudy, when he held up his phone to say he was asked by The State Department to start talking to Ukraine places the blame squarely on Trump’s shoulders! I doubt very much that Rudy would go to jail for Trump, he’s not built for that!

    1. Rudy is only built for the grave, he looks like he could be as old as president Lincoln’s grandfather.

  10. Republicans say “I’m not even going to read those transcripts” but are then happy to talk total rubbish to defend #45. That’s like you saying to a judge, “sorry, I’m not even going to comment on the video footage, or the DNA proof you have of me doing this crime, instead I would like to bring to your attention the coffee machine in the waiting room isn’t working… who’s responsible for that!”

    1. Lindsay Graham (and others) should be ashamed. Hindering their ability to provide the full scope of tasks involved in the position voters trusted them to do is their need to play to a leader who has no ethical, moral, or intellectual foundation. Most of us cannot go to work and dismiss non-preferred tasks which are part of the job –neither should they. Furthermore, he and any other Senators should recuse from being a ‘juror’ if their position is that they have made up their mind and won’t do the work to review the evidence presented and the pertinence to the breaches of law, duty, and Constitution. As with anyone who has been on jury duty; one cannot come in with preconceived notions or judgments on a case and refuse to take in relevant facts and data which doesn’t support the initial view. Conjuring results with prejudice and prohibiting evidence review is dangerous, lazy, and a betrayal to voters. They do NOT work for the president, they work for the people. Some of these senators clearly forget that fact.
