    1. Polls lie…..look at the crowds…..democrats have been crying since 2016…..you fool…..still believing polls?….just don’t learn😄😄😄😄😄😄

    2. @jfsfrnd how .?being against abortion ….being pro life….democrats are the extremist….tearing down each of our values and rights…….america decides presidential elections…not a few whining democrats ….

    3. @Jam Who Reputable polls were pretty much within the margin of error. Others took those polls and made projections that said junk like “%90” chance of Clinton victory.

  1. Trump said that there should be no public testimony because it’s all a “hoax”. We all know that Trump realizes that public testimony could very well be the final nail in his gigantic coffin.

  2. If McConnell blocks the Senate, the republicans are toast in 2020. The Republican party is on life support as it is. These people can’t even lie convincingly. LMFAO.

    1. @Rod Allen I agree the Urkraine business is a hoax. Where our opinions differ is who created the hoax and for what purpose.

    2. Land of the Free – you can call witnesses and defend yourself during trail, the prosecutor (House) presents the evidence they found during the investigation (impeachment inquiry) and the jury (Senate) votes on whether or not they are guilty (removal or acquittal).

      Defendants are never included in the investigations process.

    3. nyclear – Right! Do Republicans believe that the whistleblower testifying nullifies what everyone else said? They wanted “firsthand” sources and they got them, now they complain.

    1. @dennis wolff is it? When “they” are getting paid by russians and taxpayers? And “they” aided and abetted epstein for three decades.

  3. This is so much better than ‘The Apprentice,’ This is ‘The Boss,’ without the edit button, This is Must-See TV!

    1. There are very few TV shows which haven’t used any prior planning in their production that are as entertaining to watch

    1. Then you might want to stop eating Tide Pods if you can’t see the Democrats are dirty child molesting pedophile criminals then your disgusting yourself

    2. @The Wiz out of all the comments fickle and factual, yours must be the most fickle. Deluded deranged and brainwashed by the potus of the mostest lies. It’s gona look bad for u guys with 💩 all over yr faces. After hes impeached, will you visit him in jail too? You could all hold vigils by his barred window.

    3. Brice. I hear you. I’ve never really been politically involved until the 2016 election. Ethics are wonderful, but this political system running the world right now is so far removed from ethics, it’s sickening. When Nancy Pelosi gets on stage and pretends to act like this impeachment process is sad and somber, what ethics do you think she truly represents? 95% of these politicians are absolute scum. They don’t give two craps about Americans and their needs. When you see Trump. You should try to understand that he’s a nasty man, but he doesn’t hide it. I find someone being genuine in their corruption a lot easier to swallow than the Nancy Pelosi government millionaires that seem drugged up and completely out of touch with authentic human values. MSNBC, CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS. They protect the powerful by distorting the public perception with selective journalism or outright lies. You will do well to take the stabbing to your chest instead of your back.

    4. Jimmy Dore on the left. Tucker on the right. If you can combine those two news sources, you’ll get close to a complete picture of reality.

  4. Trump made a BIG mistake by thinking he could bully the core of America with his usual tactics.

    The “Blue Coats” will stand against the “Red Coats” once more for the country they believe in. Not the “monarchy” they wished to liberate themselves from.

    Go Team Blue!

    1. @clearwater yes sir, my grandfather’s both fought the Nazis in WWII. My Uncle was a radio man in Vietnam who seen some of the worst things imaginable. So yes I have. I also happen to be part of the largest branch of our military, the Citizens of the United States.

    2. sorry sonny the red coats actually own weapons…. even if the blue win a minor victory the reds will not ever give up their rights to socialism.. you come to take we will fight back besides their is way more of us real american that are not sheep that know the truth and see through all the fake hype that will go no where ..ans soon enough the sham will be up for the dems

  5. While the Republicans are yelling, screaming, headbutting cameras. Dems are laser focus on the facts and evidence. The GOP has become a joke while trying to cover up the lies and crimes of the conman. Even going as low as attacking career public servants and a war hero.

    1. Andy C Stole from charities on multiple occasions.
      Broke the emoluments clause on multiple occasions.
      Has lied to the American people at least 14,000 times
      Sent rudy galavanting around the world doing his bidding.
      Gave his son in law top clearance when it was denied
      Has accepted millions in foreign money.
      Defrauded Americans of their hard earned money and had to pay $25,000,000. Also has to pay $2,000,000 in fines for his most recent crimes.
      Don’t worry there is an ongoing tab of crimes for which he will soon pay dearly.
      Honey! Get the popcorn! This is just getting good.

    2. @Theo Fulk Roger Stone – another bites the dust yeah🎶🎵 another one down, another down, another bites the dust📣 Don’t u just love this song?

    1. @D SP Yes, the Electoral College ignored the voice of the people. The Clinton campaign never helped itself by taking for granted what proved to be important areas of the country.

  6. Don’t impeach him. get the unredacted transcripts of his calls with Putin or the copies of the calls from the NSA in Bluffdale and court martial him for treason. There is precedent for this path of action.

    1. @McKittrick Hyatt , the US is still in war with North Korea, it was declared by accepting being part of the UN task force entering the war between North and South Korea, which was declared by the Korean nations. It is nowhere mentioned that the side of the declared war has to the US or that it has to Congress to declare the war. But Congress approved the US military joining the war by budgeting the operation. And at least by confirming the Korean Armistice Agreement. That makes the US the party on a declared war.

      But beside that, Congress officialy declared the War on Drugs and the War on Terror, and the UCMJ nowhere states which kind of official war the US Congress declares is needed to make civil commanders subject to the UCMJ.

    2. @McKittrick Hyatt I think we could make the case that the attacks on our democratic institutions and electoral process is an act of war. It’d be controversial, but it’s possible. It may even be inevitable, once the counter-intelligence investigation is concluded.

    3. @McKittrick Hyatt , no the historic precedent for treason cases under the UCMJ had also no formal declaration of war by Congress and only a presidential declaration like that of Truman on Dec 16, 1950. Same with the Civil War. Only the treason trials during the Spanish-American War were during a formally declared war.

    4. @McKittrick Hyatt , it’s not about the constitution, it’s about the UCMJ. Art. 106, 106A. And the President is without doubt a civilian and a part of the chain of command. And there is precedent that those can be brought under court-martial. There is nothing in the UCMJ or the Constitution which suggests that there are different kinds of civilians who can be part of the chain of command. No special conditions for the President as subject of the UCMJ.

      But as long as we don’t know what he said to Putin or Kim it is hypothetical to consider a violation of the UCMJ. But if those transcripts get public or inside the closed sessions of Congress and show such violation – treason – LTG Charles N. Pede must act.

  7. At the very least, the impeachment proceedings will create more informed voters for both the presidency and the Congress.

    1. At very least also is to find out what has been SO WELL COVERED UP BECAUSE OF COLLUSION and MANIPULATION OF MEDIA. Not any citizen whatsoever should have EVER been “Prosecuted by the MEDIA” that has happened to this president, and the increasing proofs of government fraud, like OBAMA and HR5736, makes me believe HE IS HONEST, vs.” status HO”.

    2. @Theo Fulk It was Trump himself who came down his fake golden escalator and declared Mexicans to be rapists and murderers. It is Trump himself who has publicly lied over 14,000 times. A vexing press is a part of our democracy. George Washington almost did not run for a second term because of negative press. 75 years ago Truman said. “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Only Trump has whined and sniveled about it incessantly.

    3. Republicans don’t care. They can’t admit they were wrong. Instead, they just “double-down” with more ridiculous assertions.

    4. @Kevin Flankey The only thing that will move the GOP are the polls, and the gullible folk who watch Fox lies and distortions are not likely to change their polling answers. If just one person from the Fox prime time yak fest decide to speak truth, it might make a difference.

    1. A T me too. I’ve grown to respect so many of the congresspeople who’ve been active in reporting their progress to the public. Heck is one of them, and Rep. Swalwell is too. They’re just honest people, and they’re defending our democracy with everything they’ve got.

  8. ”According to Ben Franklin: because the only other alternative is assassination. Impeachment was created because it was deemed “less messy,” and that’s just a fact.”

    1. @David Cox It wouldn’t be my first choice– that would be prison, which also carries with it a large degree of martyrdom– but I’d rather see him six feet under than behind a desk in the Oval Office for another term. It’s unlikely he’ll be found guilty by the Senate at an impeachment trial.

    1. Unfortunately Trump is surrounded by incompetent nannies who have no intention or desire to change his diaper. They’re financially and politically profiting from the filth they installed in the White House.

    2. ghetso girl: In Donnie’s case, changing the diaper is just part of the problem. To be safe, the man-baby should be disposed of along with the diaper.

  9. It’s Veteran’s Day and the POTUS and his kids just settled a lawsuit for $2 million for illegally taking money for Veterans which was in the Trump Foundation.

    1. @Dangerfinder treasureseeker …especially when you(Trump) made excuses rather than serve & someone had to go in your place. DJT should have to pay back to those families who lost anything because of his cowardice.

  10. You know, for a guy not concerned or worried about impeachment he sure spends a lot of time concerned about and talking about impeachment.

  11. Ask yourself a question: Do you, a member of We the People, only own this government Of the People, By the People, For the People on an _election day_ every few years?
    Or do you own it every day? Because you’re certainly paying for it every day.

    Impeach Presidents and Judges regularly. Recall Congressmen, Senators, and Governors often. They’re employees. Not crosses we should be forced to bear.

    1. Totally agree. Our taxes pay them. Trump may think he doesn’t have to pay heed to all Americans rather than just his base, he couldn’t be more wrong.
