IHCTerra There’s no way you’re a liberal , what’s your deal ..
@Jamtommy1 you don’t have to be a liberal to believe that Trump is a lying carpet bagger strip mining the office of the President for personal gain. Supporting him is supporting someone who wanted to destroy the US. He was inciting insurrection before he was President.
Destroying the US is not making it great. Don’t believe his lies.
Good one 😂
“Meet their accusers?”
Motherfucker has obviously never heard of an anonymous line up.
@John Carter Because our family has a tradition of such things. Wanna quiz me on flintlock muskets..? Go right ahead.
Tessmage Tessera ok how would a smooth bore flintlock musket do against a AR15 in a gun fight ?
these people are trolling our media trying to make believe lies. dont fall victim to this bullshit
@Kaleb Williams go home and rud a few out watckin gay porn
@SE Morgan Bogus site!
“when the president does it, it is not a crime.” Sound familiar?
@Ken Hiett No, he’s nothing close to a saint. Like most corrupt sycophant Republicans, you spend your life attempting to minimize Donnie’s criminal behavior or blame somone else for it. His firewall of Mitch, Lindsey, Rudy and Barr is beginning to crack & I couldn’t be happier about it.
Excuses:
Nothing new to see here. He just stole from his charity ‘a little bit ‘. He didn’t sexually assault those 17 accusers, he just brags about what he likes to grab without mutual consent. Let’s blindly trust the GOP to THOROUGHLY vet their nominee with his 5 bankruptcies & tax returns he refuses to disclose. Brilliant idea don’t you think?
Stuck on Trump’s narrative. A word that isn’t a crime, ‘collusion’. Republicans never read Mueller’s report. Had you read it, the impeachable10 instances of obstruction of justice were left for Congress to pursue. So ofcourse, Barr & the GOP leadership make an un-redacted copy of the report UNAVAILABLE to the Oversight Committee for follow-up. Wouldn’t want the Big-Baby-in-Chief to soil his diaper from testifying IN PERSON under oath before Congress. He’d rather play golf instead. Mueller himself said that he couldn’t exonerate Donnie. The spin doctors say “nothing to see here, can’t indict a sitting POTUS ‘. SDNY just has to wait for Individual One to leave the White House. Yes, they are poised and waiting.
More excuses:
But Obama, but Hillary, but the economy is good. Ignore the $1.5 TRILLION he added to the national deficit when giving himself and his cronies permanent tax breaks. Forget these Trump supporting midwest farmers who are losing their livelihoods as collateral damage from trade war tarrifs. But Chairman Kim and Putin are our friends, not adversaries. You buy that? Really? What’s the purpose of numerous subpoenas from a CO-EQUAL branch of government when the enforcer of our laws abdicates all responsibility to do his job? Well, inless it benefits himself $$$ financially.
‘ I only called the Ukrainian government to help with smearing my most serious 2020 opponent. Look at all the money I’m holding back until they cooperate and give me what I want. Surely a little thing like my oath of office entitles me to break the law, then lie about having that conversation? ” Really? The GOP needs to grow a pair!
He’s not a ‘teflon Don’ he’s a mafia boss with corrupt minions who run interference from the law for him. The tide is changing. Times up. He knows it, you know it, and so does his inner circle. Nixon and Watergate was childsplay compared to what’s coming for this administration. Watch and learn.
@Sandy Hager Blah, blah, blah. All canned Republican talking points. Obfuscation instead of staying on the point at hand. #45 is a criminal and surrounds himself with tose of like mind. I’ll be adding you to the list of gullible educated fools who drink the Kool-Aid, are ignorant regarding Constitutional law & can no longer think for themselves. Good luck with that.
Yes Trump thinks the same way !!! what Dems should do is stop paying them and all the rats Will start coming out of there rat holes then the Dems set up traps for all of them and lock them up in cages like Trump has done to all the children that are forgotten …..
Trump/Pompeo just sent American troops to Saudi Arabia to protect their oilfields/assets, how can they forget that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 911 were Saudi citizens,bin laden himself was born and raised there, most recently they chopped up a DC journalist with a bonesaw without any consequences, Trump’s answer was simple THEY PAY IN CASH$$$$ 3000+ Americans died that day, he sold out our honor to those died because they have cash,,, that’s treasonous if you ask me 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸 never forget
I doubt that any president in the last few decades has declared Saudi an enemy, Trump is not unique in supporting them. Our national interests are synonymous with big corporate interests, most notably the fossil fuel industry, but also the military industrial complex. It’s systemic.
@Muddy Water Hi Muddy Water. I’m your nephew, Dusty Rains.
@dulpurp Don’t forget the credit card companies (Citibank, et.al.)
Mitch Niemala how does it make you feel to know that it’s ‘YOUR INTEREST’ he’s doing it for? Don’t tell me, you have no idea what a ‘petro dollar’ is. I guess you think Fort Knox is just full of gold ! -backing your paper money!
And btw, their were a lot of different people involved in the ‘false flag’ aka. ‘9/11’. The most important ones were BOTH of the BUSH’S!
George H.W.Bush was involved in the Kennedy assassination, the attempted Reagan assassination, and 9/11. He was ‘CIA’ through and through!
My thoughts exactly..how is Yemen declared a terrorist country and not Saudi.. guess Yemen has no oil
We need more whistleblowers 4 this corrupt administration in the WH
@Spearhand Donny boy has on numerous occasions commented on Ivanka’s body. Google the Howard Stern interview. He expressed a desire to “date” her. This is documented fact.
@Starvin Marvin Hearsay.
@Dusty Rains 4 years later and you still beat this dead horse.😴
So more retards with second and third hand information. Sound logic.
@jack cleland *45’s* supporters are in a *frenzy❗* Cuz HE may not be able to weasle HIS way out of HIS current screw-up. Since stepping into office, *djt* has done nothing for the people of this country, it’s been all abt HIM. And the daily HEADLINES (online/newspapers) have been dominated by HIS twisted machinations. *djt* doesn’t belong anywhere near the WH. Maddow’s vid just further supports tht reality.
I can’t believe trump is threatening a civil war if he was to be impeached, this ain’t a joke, shocking reality
Civil war can be scaring people not to vote. What scares me is Islamic interpretation in sharia law of inciting civil unrest in order to make it easier for them to take over lands. Don’t let anyone make u fight your neighbour. America is free and mostly a just society. Don’t give up your rights to a Democracy
@Ken Hiett – If you’ve really read the transcript you wouldn’t be saying that. The transcript has been read on the TV air and it definitely shows a quid pro quo between Donny and Ukraine. If it didn’t, nobody in the Democartic party would have wasted their time. The mistake was made when the whistle blower (a CIA person) gave the Ukraine call transcript to both the justice department (who quashed it) and notified congress as required by law. Barr didn’t know that Congress had it and was caught off guard that Schiff called for a hearing after reading it. This is hilarious because had Schiff not seen the transcript (released to public by Donny) this impeachment inquiry wouldn’t have happened. LOL Trump’s an idiot.
@Ken Hiett – hey mini brain…this is a loser of a comment. Your screed was all over the place and made no sense. You say things you have no way of knowing. LOSER.
@Ken Hiett – the left works off of provable facts. That’s why it took so long to move on the Mueller investigation, and why they are moving so quickly now that they have evidence in writing that Donny committed a crime in soliciting opposition research on Biden from Ukraine. He did the same thing with Russia, but it wasn’t in writing, so a conspiracy (collusion) wasn’t proven with Russia. Donny brought this on himself by publishing the Ukraine call transcript. He’s in deep trouble now. McConnell will hold a trial and the polls are moving against Donny. During Watergate (do you know what that is?) the public support for impeachment was low until Nixon released the tapes of conversations incriminating him. That is what is happening with this Ukraine transcript.
I am sure the CIA and several other agencies have a recording of the convo! All foreign convos are monitored, especially ones with top officials. It shows how little power congress has or employs.
Pamela Wiles and you think you are telling the truth
autoyota any serious intelligence service—UK, Australia, Germany, France, Israel, Russia, the Scandinavians, China, for example— ALL will have recordings of the convo in their archives.
with the way 45’s WH works, anyone with a satellite or maybe even a ham radio, might have a recorded copy.
and now that AUS is involved, let’s just see how fast ASIS can get into gear.
michelle stein-evers frankl of Hillary and Obama thanks we will pass it on snowflake.
@Joyce Fecher My dear, judging by your comments, I would recommend U just stay quiet and not make such a fool of yourself.
Doesn’t “someone”, anyone, read the transcriptions and approve as final?
@Muhammad was a pedophile caravan robber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWnUzvlqpB0&t=206s
Yes. Trump has hidden that official transcription, in order to cover his wrongdoing.
well that is not the final version that is what he wanted you to see because it’s the least repulsive.
remember someone said at least two people are transcribing then they compare notes to ensure it’s all covered and then a final draft is presented. but like any crook trying to feign transparency there are ‘books’ shown to public and the real books locked away on a passcoded server! 🤪
The republicans that told trump to release the transcript had no clue what trump said in that call. They should of realized that trump is a loose cannon and could of said just about anything. When the transcript was generated if trump wasn’t a doofus (that his what his dad always called him) and read the transcript before it was handed over to Congress we would of been talking about what is he hiding rather than how do we impeach him for these crimes. I would also add that even if trump read the transcript it was more than 1 page so he would not of read past that nor is it clear that he would of understood what he was reading. It is technically illiterate. He has a minimal understanding of reading but lacks comprehension.
People with like trump can read words and even words strong together in sentences but if the sentence get a bit complex they don’t understand what they are reading. Multiple sentences are beyond their ability to comprehend what is being said.
what we have learned since this transcript was released it turns out trump was asking other world leaders for help in fabricating dirt on Biden and he also told the Russians he didn’t mind that they meddled in the 2016 election which was a green light for them to do it again. This is treason, it is also treason to ask any foreign government to meddle in our elections. To quote trump you know what we did with traitors in the past…
Good information, thanks. Rumour has it, that another whistleblower, this one from the IRS has come forward and there are more in the wings with evidence to share. It is beginning to sound like an OctoberWhistleFest.
There were three as of 3:39 Pacific time because it came out that he also asked Australia 🇦🇺 to help him get information to discredit the Mueller report!
Hopefully
Imma get me a deep state halloween costume and run around shouting BOO! at Republicans.
@Tamala Rovaris WoW..are you serious???..I’m not surprised if true..I believe there are more and they all are gonna come forth slowly but surely I mean if it’s a Republican which I believe it is they might figure hell what they got to loose at this point🤷♂️
@Tamala Rovaris He does have the right to check, the Justice department is gathering information. If your credibility was smeared, wouldn’t you want the right to defend yourself!!! He will not be impeached, no matter how much the Democrats are whinning,and mud slinging, They have have no platform to win on and It will not pass the Senate!!!
Remember folks millions of people voted for trump because he was going to clean the swamp.😉😊😄😂
@Denyze I am so tired of winning. When is it going to stop? Please make it stop. Please?
@Denyze Many of us were not conned. But enough were so that we are where we are today. The ones that got conned are going to have a hard time living it down for the rest of their lives. 30 years from now. “Grandpa, I learned in school today about Trumpism. What did you do when Trump was dismantling our country?” Grandpa, “Hey buddy, look what I have. A bag of candy and a yo yo”! Or whatever would be the equivalent 30 years from now. Maybe a new drone or something?
@freedumb222 He accused Hillary of being cozy with the swamp – Wallstreet and Goldman sachs.. Then hired them himself. He’s not a child – he knew what he was doing. He also put an ANTI environment person in charge of the EPA.Rick Perry in charge of the very Energy Department he wanted to abolish years before.Betsey Devos, a huge Charter School campaigner in charge of our Department of Education. His FIRST Chief strategist was Steve BAnnon – the chairman of Breitbart – a far right extremist media outlet……………. he knew what he was doing.
cathy S Thank you for listing a few of the atrocities this guy has committed. And the deep swamp still works hard at keeping him as their open door to our resources. Just look at the climate engineering and weather warfare tactics that will have their devastating effects long after they and the rest of life are dead.
People are talking they are tired of this 45 abusing his power , being sneaky and wanting to be above the law,its disgusting and despicable.
Repubs: “Hows that draining of the swamp going?”
Schiff: “Nearly done….”
We have redefined the concept of a ‘swamp’. We are doing a tremendous job ! Never been better in the history of this Great Country !
Schiff needs to be investigated for his possible activities in the Child Porn industry in San Francisco. You fking DemoChimpanzee moron idiot.
@John Carter
He’s also better at HIDING his Child Porn Magazine’s.
@Mike Melody
And Demo’Rat voters have achieved spreading the SYPHILIS or Aids amoung themselves in the Millions. In just 3 or 4 years.
Southern district of New York I love them they’re going to have to speed up they’re indictments now that he’s being imoeached
😴
Barney Potter good luck with your city slickers. 😜
Pence’s already measuring the WH drapes.
Every American has the right to hear these meetings and be represented. It is high time we demand public sessions of all Governmental hearings and transparency!
Tell that to other countries.
I think you’re overestimating the excitement level in these hearings 🤭 yawn.
Man, I wonder if the Ukranians have him on tape. They could really hold his orange feet to the fire.
slowpokebr549 no, not hardly! They are in agreement with him! He didn’t do anything wrong. But don’t let that stop you. It gives us a good excuse and eases our conscience to know what you are; -traitor.
@David Hatchell The Ukrainians have a transcript and they have said so. But, they prefer not to involve themselves in the USA politics.
@Eve Bert He just got through shaking them down, so why wouldn’t they return the favor? You know, like the Russians did. If he survives this impeachment they have him in the bag.
“only in the panhandle folks” when talking to Trump supporters at a rally about shooting people.This president does not understand or care if he uses words that raise concern….his base loves itBy the way trump supporters….you are outnumbered and we know how to fight to…..make sure you really want to go down that road
john herring that florida panhandle was also problematic during Bush v Gore.
No tape exists🤣 – oh, the NSA most certainly has a recording.
2019 Democrat Coup- The sky is falling!🤪 The sky is falling!🤪 Again🥴 and again🥴 and again…😳…🤯
