    1. “He’s exactly the guy the Founders were worried about.”

      well, according to one of them:
      “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
      ― George Washington

      A “democrat” or a liberal party is a (political party), a republican is/should be only a rep of the republic – “we The People”.
      Am i logically rational here?

    2. @no name Although absolute freedom is utopic, in most Western democracies there are acceptable levels of freedom.
      In Russia freedom is much more limited as proven by the assassinations ordered by Putin.
      In mainland China the situation is worse.

      If your mission is to undermine democracy, your arguments are absolutely ineffective.

      You have a point in that there are flaws in democracy, but all other alternatives are much worse.

      If you like being controlled and pushed around, move over to Russia.

    3. There are video cards from NVidia named “Founders edition” and Trump is a stick in Oval cabinet “Russian edition”.

    4. Let’s remember that most of the FFs owned people, and TJ sold his OWN children to pay his debts. Maybe it’s time we evolve past the need to canonize these dead men and take responsibility for where we are, and where we want to go.

  1. Hes not in control, tried to have a meeting to smooth things over…didnt work. Bye bye spanky, GOOD RIDDANCE.

    1. @Ralf Häggström He’s a depraved lowlife. No one can go that low except him and his corrupt idol tRump.

    2. @Donna Willams Dear Donna, I tried, but did evidently not succeed, Take Care; Ralf. …………………

  2. good job filling in Steve, you kept the Hard ball rolling… glad you’re doing well enough to come back Chris

    1. Junior Soprano – He’s the prophet. The rest of us can see only this far

      George: President Trump ordered Mulvaney to suspend the (military) aid and you saw Mr. Mulvaney right there say one of the reasons was indeed this idea that Ukrainians had to pursue these political investigations.

      Mike Pompeo: I’ll leave it to the chief of staff, to explain what it is he said and what he intended. I can speak clearly to what America’s strategic objectives were in providing these defensive weaponry to the people of Ukraine.

      George: So do you agree with Senator Lisa Murkowski, it would have been inappriopiate to withhold this military aid unless this political investigation was pursued?

      Mike Pompeo: George.. It… I’m telling you what I was involved with. I’m telling you what transpired and how President Trump was making the evaluation about whether it was appropriate to provide this assistance.

      George: But that’s what I’m asking you, would it be appropriate to condition…

      Mike Pompeo: George, I’m not gonna get into hypotheticals and secondary things based on what someone else has said, George you would have never done it when you were the spokesman.

      George: Well except it’s not a hypothetical we heard the chief of staff just say…

      Mike Pompeo: It is George, you just said “if this” happened and that is by definition a hypothetical

      George: The chief of staff said it did happen…

      Mike Pompeo:…. (Long pause) George you asked me if this happened. I told you what I observed what I saw, the process related to this. What we did and how we thought about that. It was aimed at the strategic interests of the United States, the right and appriopiate way to insure that there wasn’t corruption in the Ukraine that would divert these resources away to an inappropriate place

    2. Exactly. The sickening part of this fiasco is that his die-hard supporters actually consider themselves patriotic, while bad-mouthing those who are upholding the constitution.

    1. @Chris Stowell
      Guess what, they can’t, because there’s no proof of any crime whatsoever. If there was charges would have been leveled at Trump a long time ago. Say hello to President Trump for four more years chump.

    1. Jeremiah Jeremecht Trump is trying to goad the house into impeaching him so badly! It’s so obvious and the democrat party is dumb enough to do it, effectively handing Trump a re-election.

    2. garet claborn and a constitutional republic with democratically elected representatives to be more specific.

  3. Cherry picking the elements of what ‘our great founders’ intended when the Doral fiasco sits hanging over his head is priceless..

    1. snoop alert Trump is very good at baiting the media like this, it’s how he won in 2016 and, by the looks of things, again in 2020.

    2. Kathy Franklund like the polls that told us Hillary was going to win in a landslide? C’mon now you should know better!

    3. @Plymco Pilgrim What is the audience for your comments? Are they for other Trump supporters? Are they intended to disturb people who do not like the president? I genuinely do not understand.

    4. Ryan Donahue anyone who reads them. It’s my opinion meant for anyone to agree or disagree with and discuss.

    1. Gilbert G
      Even if he was…… The republic just begun to regain its voice peacefully.
      The “lib tards” are agressively violent against opposition of great spirits. The liberal mind is mediocre.
      They are far to superficial minded and sensual to see clear.
      They feel and rabt/purge…..they don’t think and rationalize their motives and feral behaviors. They are impulsive and biased.

    2. @snoop alert – Hahaha The Articles of Impeachment will come out of the Judiciary Committee for a floor vote up or down. After he’s Impeached, they will have a trial in the Senate. trump can only be acquitted or convicted. Not Exonerated. Republicans made that very clear during the Clinton Impeachment. Hahaha.

    3. Gilbert, exactly what are they impeaching Trump on, what is the evidence, please show it to me. Two days after he was elected they were impeaching him, and remember, when they tried to impeach him because he was upset when the NFL kneel during our anthem? Remember the fake Russian thing? Do you see yet the lies and hate the media has fed you? Do you get it yet?????

  4. Chris Matthews,
    I want to know, “Why is Moscow Mitch acting like he will be running the Senate Impeachment Trial when the Constitution says the Chief Justice shall preside over it?!?”

    1. Elaine Johnson who told you that? The constitution clearly lays out that the Senate has the sole power of impeachment in Article 1 section 2.

    2. Justin Milet Trump is trying to goad the house into impeaching him so badly! It’s so obvious and the democrat party is dumb enough to do it, effectively handing Trump a re-election.

      Even if the house impeached him the senate won’t and Trump will get the same type of surge Clinton did when he was impeached.

  5. Chris Matthews so happy you’re on the road of healing. You’re one of my favorite reporters. Love to hear your reporting, your frankly honest and open to those on your show and to the public. Great to have you back 😊.

  6. End Trump before Xmas….best gift ever for this Country!! Peace at last!! Lets start the new year 2020 Happy and Peaceful and TrumpFree!!!

  7. Will Republicans present their “exonerating” arguments on record when all the articles of impeachment are presented with evidence?

    1. Anatoli Titarev Like the evidence in the Mueller report? 🤣 Why do you think Schiff wants to conduct these hearings KGB style? So he can cherry pick and leak information to the media. It’s disgusting

    2. Anatoli Titarev the house actually has to do an impeachment for the republicans to do that. Right now it is an impeachment inquiry and the democrats are refusing to let republicans participate.

  8. It’s sad when those we vote in to represent us wont do what’s right for the country because it may get them voted out by an ignorant mass.

    1. what you lack in point, you tried to make up in wordplay
      unfortunately trump is far above your paygrade in intellect. you dont even realize that MSNBC is taking the bait lmao

    2. @garet claborn Will look you up next year before November too. Your in for a very big reality check. Before 2021 too. 🙂

    1. UnknownAnomaly Trump is trying to goad the house into impeaching him so badly! It’s so obvious and the democrat party is dumb enough to do it, effectively handing Trump a re-election.

      Even if the house impeached him the senate won’t and Trump will get the same type of surge Clinton did when he was impeached.

    1. Good call. I thought 6 months into his administration. If Not Within 2019; it is a time for a Public Push to IMPEACH TRUMP NOW.
