Haake: Schiff Frustrates Republicans By 'Locking Down The Room,' Controlling The Narrative | MSNBC

  1. Oligarch Trump, let’s not forget he beg like a dog at Helsinki, pleaded like a wounded animal not to be hurt, not to be neglected by Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump, the coward who had to beg a more successful, younger president to stoop down to trumps level and be as corrupt as Donald Trump to create fake dirt on an American. He begged like an animal because he knew his base was not strong enough, his base was not with him 100% and there was not enough votes in his base so he had to ask other nations to make the votes disappear. And now Donald Trump, coward, wounded animal, neglected dog to Vladimir Putin is so afraid of a woman that he’s going to just try to break her on his little social media page. Pathetic.
    It’s important not to forget that Donald Trump, the coward of Russia, begs Terrorist leaders like Erdogan of the Turkish terrorist organization and Al Qaeda to come to the White House because no self-respecting world leader is willing to put up with this farce

    1. Tyrone biggums so Trump isn’t a sentient being? That explains away the animal like tendencies, but just because that’s a behavioral defect doesn’t mean it’s not a disqualification to serve office.

    2. @Sean Breen Animals include all sentient beings and the non-human ones are generally deserving of our respect and care, or at least to be free of suffering as much as possible. Dogs especially. So your analogies have the wrong register with the more humane individuals who otherwise may agree with you on the character of Trump.

    1. @TheTrishalyn #votebluenomatterwho

      Republicans ARE corporate money. Every Democratic candidate is a better choice than the alternative, which is an empowered and wholly corrupt Republican Party.

    2. John O That would be nice, but they’ve rigged the game so they can win even when the score is 65-35 Democrats. The ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY and the NRA along with them could be RICOd out of existence however by a single federal prosecutor for laundering and distribution Russian money to interfere in the 2016 election. We could not only take all of the National party’s money and infrastructure, we could force it to dissolve and therefore lose automatic ballot access (getting on the ballot takes 10 times a as much support for a party that isn’t grandfathered in from the beginning of secret ballots). In so many words LOCK THEM UP

    3. @TheTrishalyn They have all taken corporate money. Just because they stopped just to win your vote doesn’t make them the good guy. It makes them worse.

  2. Not like Republicans having anything relevant to say anyways…. That said I do enjoy watching the recaps of them destroying their careers on live television. Gonna make great campaign clips for anyone running against them.

    1. Iamtop You do realize these witnesses offer ZERO evidence. Just hearsay and OPINIONS. But don’t worry, CNN/MSNBC will keep telling you that “the walls are closing in”. 🤣

  3. Excellent move in that regard.
    Shut down the clowns from getting their “Circus of Barnum” started.

    Keep it up, Schiff!

    1. Marc Emson Keep what up? Lying to the American people? Where’s that evidence of Russian collusion Schiff told us he had? You’re being gaslit….AGAIN!

    2. @Rod Allen 10 impeachable offenses Trump commited, documented in the Mueller Report. Alongside “no exoneration” for president Trump.

      That aside the GOP in the hearings are just noisemakers at this point.
      Schiff shutting them down before they can start the circus is what needs to be kept up. The GOP has no defense at all, none, and should just be quiet if they can’t come up with a legit response.

    1. And when has Trump told Zelenskij that she was a bad ambassador if not in the 1st call?
      In the 2nd call, Zelenskij thanked Trump for being first to tell him that.

    2. @Maja-danmark and WTF do you think Mexicans are Greek???? Mexicans are Hispanic which means they are of both Portuguese and Spanish decent so most likely Nunes’ ancestors came from Mexico most Hispanics in California came from Mexico so its a safe bet

  4. I hope this woman is provided with support and counselling through this and after, the effects of this betrayal of her dedication to America by trump can be life changing. She is a very brave Patriot! 💙

  5. Don’t give an inch to the Pubes. We’ve seen what kind of “questions” they have : statements that “it could have been worse” (an excuse even kids know won’t work) and Nunes-style conspiracy theories from back in 2016. They are a waste of time, of air, of money, of everything, in fact.

    1. That’s exactly right! What I wonder is wahy for the second time is congressman Nunes going on about the democrats wanting nude photos of trump? Is he in some of those and doesn’t want them to get out? I always thought the conspiracy theory was trump and Russian hookers and “the Pee Tape”? That was soundly debunked a long time ago.

    2. Julio Gonzalez Do you really think John Durham has launched a criminal investigation to chase conspiracy theories? When MSNBC/CNN tells you it’s a “debunked conspiracy theory”, do they EVER tell you how it was debunked or by who? Wait for the IG’s report and maybe you will open your eyes.

  6. “I cannot tell a lie.” – George Washington “I cannot tell the truth.” – Donald Trump “I cannot tell the difference.” – Republicans

    1. Let’s lock them in cages and separate them from their families – they seem to like that kind of treatment for other people children.
