    1. Moscow Mitch
      The hammer and sickle has a Zero relationship with the GOP. The GOP are closer, presently, to facists and the hammer and sickle is a symbol that was used by the Soviet Union and refers to the working classes of Communism. The hammer stands for the industrial workers and the sickle represents agricultural workers. People using this symbol in regard to the facist GOP just show their ignorance.

  1. Non ragioniamo dì lor ma guarda e passa.
    They are lying demons who are exploiting the general derangement cultivated and inforced over decades by Fox.

  2. Chump and all the degenerates backing and covering up these treasonous acts need to stop denying the facts and deflecting from the truth!! How many times does it need to be said…It’s ILLEGAL!! #ImpeachTheChump

    1. @Walt Schmidt Are you kidding, did you not hear what the FEC Chair stated…what do you not understand?!! Having any kind of foreign interference in our AMERICAN election process is ILLEGAL!!

    1. Going forward we need to hold every elected official to legal standards, if you stray out side of domestic or international laws your are not working for us, just you. Its the only way the US will ever have any credibility ever again.

    2. @J. C. America has a three tier justice system one for the rich one for the middle class then one law for us POC

    3. The Republican’s have shown law and protection is not top of their priority list ,what is how to protect trump and not the people of America

  3. Why Trump would care? Trump cheated, lied, stole, bullied everyone all his life and never paid for it. Why would he be different now when he has more power?

  4. Talk about a sweetie, Ellen gets my vote. She is well versed and to the point and she isn’t picking sides or even making accusations. Just found the mom thing and saying don’t do that.

  5. Trump told us he would accept election assistance from a foreign agent. It was one of the very few times I knew he was telling the truth, so this has come as no surprise. Trump is a traitor to America.
    Impeach that motherducker! ✌️💜 🇺🇸

    1. All dems are homegrown terrorist treasonous traitors there does that make you feel better???? You lied here. But AT least I told the truth. Stop the lying.

  6. This FEC chairwoman has had to go on TV a lot with this president, as he try’s to change reality!

  7. Remember guys , Trump doesn’t know the constitution or about how government systems should work . His advisers warned him but he fires and hires until he gets SOMEONE to do it for him. Trump has in Barr what he wanted in Sessions . With Cohen Manafort and soon. Stone going down. You would think that Pompeo Barr and Pence wouldn’t want to go down for Trump .

  8. The Republican Party – promoting the interests of a criminal president and other countries above the US constitution – so that they might continue to undermine the US constitution following the 2020 elections.

  9. No surprises and nothing new – he knows and we know he broke the law. He is currently trying to put himself above the law … time for a take down!!!

  10. Lawrence: This law is simply a derivative of a much more senior law – The Emoluments Claus: “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State”
