  1. Law-abiding Americans are thirsty for the impeachment of the most uninteresting man in the world. Stay thirsty, my friends.

    1. If you want to convince more of his supporters stop telling them they’re wrong and explain that what they’re being told is wrong. Otherwise they just dig their heels in

    2. @thisguyThe Republican party chooses to remain ignorant. What makes you think they would listen? The truth is before them now. They choose to ignore it. They make the decision to remain blind and put their faith in a lying, self serving crook. Pretty soon those dug in heels may just bury them.

    3. Krystal Ball Americans who voted this moron into office deserve everything they get . AMERICA =LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD!

    1. @CCGArcana

      G….. Get
      O……Over
      P…….People

      What a disgrace Party. I am ashamed that I am associated and give my “Red” Vote….

      Not this time UNTIL WE GET A REAL VALUED Republican back in office.

  2. Trump took money, taxpayer money, that was appropriated by Congress, our legislative branch of government, and used it for his own personal gain. Let that sink in for a moment.  If that’s not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable.

    1. @Forrest Trump Not to mention congress had approved $250M, that was to be sent in February, but Ukraine was publicly surprised they received an extra $140M from drumpf. Call it a bribe or hush money, it was for something. And only one time has it been mentioned and that was when Chuck Todd asked mnuchin, who skated around and never answered the question of what was up with that.

    2. @Dolores Reynolds Exactly. Demonstrates an ABUSE OF POWER. I CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE CAN’T SEE THIS.

      IF THE FAKE PRES WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE, MAYBE WE A NEW CONSTITUTION!!

      What our Forefathers wrote up years ago is being HIGHJACKED BY THIS BUFFOON. That I am NOT DOWN WITH.

      My Ancestors (and YOURS) Fought, Bleed, and Died for the very words of our DEMOCRACY and I am not down with a Con Man trying to Steal our Democracy. We ALL should be concerned about that….PERIOD😵😵😵😟😟😟

      #takebackourdemocracy

  3. You got nothing to hide…you don’t. You got dirt to hide…you tell anyone who knows you to keep quiet.

    Trump is a crook and a traitor. He NEEDS TO GO

    1. @neal thailand – The trolllollollery are foaming *with impotent rage* … *just like* their ‘Dear Leader’, Snowflake #45.
      We laugh at their puerilities… 😂

  4. The simple fact that Mulvaney is a lying criminal piece of trash was not exactly a secret … yet, this imbecile is the acting chief of staff. Nice system, eh?

    1. I agree that he’s lying to protect his boss and walking back his admission make him worse, but you really shouldn’t say”the fact is” then say an opinion. It undermines your argument greatly

    2. He’s on camera literally 2 weeks before taking that job, talking about what a horrible “person” that fat orange garbage is.

    3. El Loco      ………………….    Mulvaney is a real weak player here . If anyone blows his own brains out, it’s probably him .  MM is doubly implicated, in that HE was likely the very one that halted the Ukraine monies at trump’s direct order .

  5. GOP looking to hijack America. Is anyone gonna have faith in this election after the openly corrupt practices of the white House?!

    1. @Leonie Romanes that is a fact. He thought it was bad before he would have a field day now. He sure could make me laugh!!!

    2. I haven’t had faith in American electoral system since Jeb Bush stole the 2000 election for his brother George W. Bush. Everything went down the toilet since then; it’s just now coming close to finishing it’s flush cycle. The only question remaining is will the toilet break or will it be repaired?

  6. Trump is at the cusp of throwing Mulvaney and Giulani under the bus, including prison time. They are gonna sing like canaries to save their skin.

  7. If the Bidens were crooks,why didnt the repubs investigste 3 yers ago. They had the presidency. the senate and the house. Strange

    1. @Jam Who Do you regard everyone who disagrees with you a snowflake? You know that pretending to be tough and that makes you look for the asserted effort. Strength, my friend, comes from within. Namely the inability to feel impacted by the harsh words of another. However, some people will ask why you are being mean or rude and if you just brush them off as a snowflake, then you still look weak because you demonstrating avoidance. If you are not trying to avoid, then you offer them a valid reason for your behavior. Justification of conduct is the hallmark of civility.

    1. Chris Wallace should have jumped on him right then and there and said to him that when the reporter said that he was describing a quid pro quo and Mulvaney did not immediately deny it then tacitly he was in agreement, that it was a quid pro quo. For him to do this language/dancing…..is total BS and way too darned late. I hope Mulvaney knows how to fall on his sword because that is what he is going to be told to do by the rat-in-chief. Everything that Trump touches dies.

    2. K Jennings ……it really is time for someone with some conviction to deliver Trump his own medicine, but they are all too gutless or scared of the gangster, after all look what happened to Jeffrey Epstein !

    3. Mulvany’s just realizing that Trump is 2 seconds from throwing him under the bus. He’s searching for cover. His cronies are saying ‘ good luck with that’.

  8. Crooks all over the place ” we can’t trust the president his aids his staff or the ones he’s paying off to lie for him ‘ yes he’s breaching national security ” it’s not safe to have a dangerous bunch in the Whitehouse

    1. I think once the I word is the course the government is gonna take him and his administrations powers should be limited until this is figured out. That administration can do a whole lot of damage in the meantime

  9. it’s like when you turn the lights on and all of a sudden the roaches scurry wildly and chaotically in all directions, willy-nilly !

    1. That also applied to all the white nationalists and other bigots right after Trump was elected. They all came scurrying out from the woodwork.

    2. If they’re that bad you need a pro to take them out, but in the meantime chasing them around with a ShopVac is both effective and therapeutic, especially when you spray the crap down the running vacuum hose. 😉

    3. @communistjesus Nope, just dealing with the ‘leftovers’ from a former housemate, who is now under an arrest warrant for Assault and Battery. All his crap is now in a storage garage, and I hope some of those little buggers are waiting for him.

  10. I was expecting Mick, Rudy, Pompeo, Bolton, Perry and others to be on the Republicans impeachment inquiry witness list so that they can clear up any misunderstandings of the Presidents actions regarding Ukraine military aid. But none of them seem to want to help the president, I wonder why that is?

    1. I wonder about that to. I think facts are against the Republican. Only witnesses the called are Hunter Biden and whistleblower.

    2. @Franco Deng And Hunter wasn’t involved in the phone call. So what could he possibly have as information on that?

    1. As is Guliani (although he’s 98) What is a couple of mill when you already have more than enough to retire on wouldn’t an old man just feel like putting their feet up or go fishing for a couple of years? (not that they are working hard but still) I think trump realised 3 months in it was the biggest mistake he made in his life (becoming potus) he didn’t want to work he didn’t want all the eyes on him now he has crushed his legacy and his kids now have the FED’s staring straight at them and probably always will.
      Typical trump…don’t work for your entire life, spend other people’s money

    2. Jeff somersby…….I thought the same thing right from the start, which just proves Trumps lack of foresight that becoming President would expose his gangster life to the whole world.

    3. Peter.
      Could you please explain where the wealth of the Obamas, Pelosi, Cunninghams, Kerrys, and Clintons came from as they only ever were paid a public servants salary as pre and post office comparisons?

      Don’t forget the kids and relatives. As they say “follow the money”.

      If you think they got their tens of millions from salary you would be shocked.

      Oh, and if you come back with book deals be prepared to be ignored.

      DJT is hated by them because he could not be bought and he knows all their dirty tricks.

      KAG 2020.

    1. I feel the same way. In the end, truth and reality win. Meanwhile, a new strategy is needed to speed the process so good triumphs over evil soon.

  11. Stable genius wanted Pelosi to put it to a vote because he accused her of not having enough votes to proceed with an impeachment inquiry, then he complained it was too secretive, unfair to him and behind closed doors, now that it’s public, which he will air out all the embarrassing and dirty laundry, he wants to shut down the government to stop the impeachment process. By being non transparent he is actually revealing a lot about hiding and covering his crimes.

    1. You mean like the multi-millions spent on the Mueller investigation that proved nothing and divided the nation?

    2. @Psychological Warfare
      You’re incredibly misinformed.
      The Mueller investigation clearly outlined at least 10 instances of Trump’s misconduct.
      Open your eyes man!

  12. When Trump, or his minion, tells a lie, they are speaking their native tongue. Treason is, of course, their regional accent.

  13. The GOP needs to change their names to Government of Putin and get it over with. I’m so sick of those idiots.
