McCarthy sounded like a criminal defense lawyer during a closing argument who knew his client was guilty. #capefear
u2good2b4gotn – not really
@JB79 yes really the Republicans have been critically complicit since day one the moment they knew he was going to win the nomination there spines disappeared.
They trusted their fearless orange leader.
That was their first mistake.
Kevin McCarthy supports unconstitutional actions. Got it.
So why don’t we see the transcripts already? Are they just composing it together?
@Mind Freshener I have a question for you. Being serious here. Do Trump supporters believe that Trump did NOT attempt to have the Ukrainian leadership dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son? Or just that there’s nothing wrong with the fact that he did? Again, just trying to understand why you believe this is a ‘nothing burger’. Hopefully you’re an actual person, not just a bot. Because I do want to get a better understanding where the supporters stand on this.
Trump can’t find his Sharpie
@Felix Blacksher The dirt is in plain sight. No digging is necessary. The Liberals spent 3 years obstructing and are now hoping to compensate their loyal followers for the lack of ideas, with a miscarried impeachment.
@Mind Freshener Kind of hard to obstruct when you were the minority for the first two years of the administration furthermore you didn’t answer the question. Trump has admitted in person via his own front sphincter, sorry I meant mouth that he and the president of the Ukraine talked about Joe Biden and his son and are opening an investigation on them and if the reporting is to believes not only did he do it he did it 8 times then there’s Rudy Giuliani attempting to influence Ukraine as well he should be disbarred and indicted for that by the way. We also know that Trump withheld 250 million dollars in military aid with the implicit quid pro quo that they don’t get it unless they agree to his extortion which is Criminal and if he succeeded which it doesn’t need to to be criminal that would have been yet another campaign Finance law violation which Trump is already committed by the way it’s payment to Stormy Daniels ring a bell Michael Cohen sitting in jail for his crime ring any bells? the act itself is treasonous by definition as that military aid was supposed to be used against Russia who regardless of what you say is still our enemy as well if the DNC had any spine they would put him to death for what he did.
So the question is and I’ll restate what he said are you okay with the president of the United States committing High crimes and misdemeanors? because he undeniably categorically did.
By the way little historical side note if we put Trump under oath on this matter he will undoubtedly commit perjury in a sentence or less and that’s all it took to get to Bill Clinton. Would you be okay with it then or does perjury only matter when Democrats do it?
@Mind Freshener Lack of ideas, are you really going there? By the way I can name several that just the Democratic candidates have that are necessary and required if we want to survive is not only a nation but a planet but first I dare you to give me one Republican idea that isn’t tax cuts for the rich?
These are the same surrogates that were upset over Obama wearing a tan suit, but Donald Trump obviously breaking the law is no big deal!
Dem constituents are silent and complicit.
Sad.
@Dawn Oceanside Yeah, who blocks everything?
@Mats K
Moscow Mitch and Criminal trump. Duh.
@jeck jeck Exactly. They’re not democrats.
Sticking up for their corrupt leader. Your job is to let the government work!
@AdventureTimeFan94 Exactly!!! Now follow my lead and divide and conquer the republicans. (Pass it on)
@Louis Glover The whistle blower statute does not guarantee anonymity. It’s to prevent retaliation. I’m waiting to see how Trump gets around it and fires the whistle blower anyways. They better be clean and not have any skeletons in their closet.
@kay armstrong , I like it!
They ( The GOP ) can’t say a damn thing when Trump Fs up. Yet has a lot to say about impeachment. Spineless.
@Clown Whisper — Thanks for telling it like it is.
Name of instance where he “Fd” up during his presidency
@Grinning Libertarian , The trail of evidence starts with Trump’s attempt to get Comey to drop an investigation into National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn.
Obstruction of justice for one. Campaign finance laws for another. Breaking Emoluments laws for yet another! How much time do you have?
It’s not just speaker Pelosi, it’s 177 members (and counting) of the PEOPLES house.
President bones spurs claiming to be a patriot is just ridiculous.
The GOP is finished if they stand by that criminal.
@Fstblack 12 I know. right? Feewings should be respected. It’s like he doesn’t care about our feewings. Let me know if you want to talk about it. I’m in a support group for my TDS too. It’s not easy having feewings and triggers and just being a totally delusional uber liberal. It’s good to find like minded NPC liberals.
@D P , guilty of feelings? It’s called the law dumbfuck. How stupid can you be? You must not care that he gets away with it. I don’t know how you idiots even breathe. Next time your stopped for pedophilia don’t tell the cops you broke the feelings law. Talk about ignorant.
@Jim J. This has nothing to do with accusations. Trump has admitted (proudly) that he requested help from another government to dig up dirt on a political rival.
You say “they had no knowledge of”? Are we to infer that you support an impeachment investigation so that they are able to gain the knowledge needed for oversight?
Just for a second, imagine swapping the name “trump” for “obama” and see how that would make you feel. You wouldn;t like that, I assume?
Fstblack 12 👏👏👏👏👏
You stand there defend old man against America shame on you
Pamela Davis : Who are you talking about?
Pelosi speaks for me in this case… Listen Kevin, just follow the law and there won’t be a problem…
@Randy Gamble
Yeah, the world is laughing at trump and us, there are videos.
England and Turkey have a comedy show based on trump.
All these comments are for nothing anyway,
YOU HAVE TRIED THIS LIE SINCE 2016. YOU HAVE BEEN PROVEN BY MUELLER AND ALL THE REST THAT THEY ALL WERE JUST LIES. YOU HAVE NOT SHOWN WHERE THE PRESIDENT HAS BROKE A LAW , EVER. IT’S ALL BEEN MADE UP LIES . THAT COUST AMERICANS MILLIONS I MIGHT ADD. DO RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN PEOPLE FIRST PLEASE.
@Randy Gamble lol – I know exactly the Biden narrative that the radical right is trying to push down people’s throats… NOT saying that everything shouldn’t be investigated thoroughly, but that’s what this is about. If you’re confident in your Mango Mussolini, then you shouldn’t have a problem with the inquiry. 💜
@Geri Brandon 🇷🇺💩😷
@Geri Brandon ,so Trump didn’t ask Russia for help finding Hillary’s emails? Could have sworn I saw that! Now he is at it again! A Kremlin lawyer didn’t go to Trump tower to give dirt on Hillary? This just proves again that Trump is trying to get something of value which is illegal from a foreign government! Maybe you forgot about Trump being the co-conspirator in Cohens trial where he went to jail? That’s a crime!
McCarthy says Pelosi can’t decide this on her own. Yes she can. She was the one blocking impeachment. With her blessing it will happen. The Senate will then have to decide. But they best watch themselves. The public knows Trump is guilty of numerous impeacheable offenses. If they protect him, they will pay the consequences.
Yes Kevin, they have been investigating Trump since before he took office. The reason he’s not in prison now is because Trump himself and the entire GOP have been obstructing the investigations from the beginning. They refuse to show moral integrity because they are afraid of losing their political power. Is this an oligarchy or a democratic republic? Authoritarian regimes consider party affiliation before the good of their country. Like Russia, China, even Venezuela. USA is becoming more like them. Trump is corrupt, the GOP have become accessories to Trump’s multiple crimes and misdeeds. They will forever be remembered for their actions during Trump’s reign of tyranny.
That used up line “The election is over, Democrats are angry they lost. They want a do-over.” Just repeating Trump’s 3rd grade propaganda. That’s not how it works. That is not a valid defense. If all corruption cases were dismissed for that type of logic, there would be no democracy anywhere in the world.
If Republicans really wanted to claim the moral high ground, they should have impeached him themselves. They had 2 years of total control of Congress. But they didn’t, they chose to protect the criminal simply because he waved the Republican banner over the White House. The aided and abetted a criminal even after he was named as a co-conspirator in the case that sent Michael Cohen to prison.
Blink Once On Sunday — Thanks for telling it like it IS.
@Dane Mart,wow! So much lies that you spewed. How do you breathe? It’s the right who are trying to take away free speech. It’s the right that want someone who looks like a woman to use the mens bathroom. There was never a problem with the use of bathrooms until those on the right complained. You also want transgender men to go into womens bathrooms. That would scare the hell out of women don’t you think? Risking assault on women? The odds in the bathroom is zero because no trans has ever sexually attacked a person of the same sex, kiddo! You are deranged. And if Democrats are more like Russia and NK, then why is Trump so in love with Kim-jong-un? Trump loves him a good authoritarian dictator!
@Charles Blair oh Charlie, I doubt you even believe what you are saying…Facts don’t care about your feelings. Fact is: Antifa (and the left) are the ones shutting down free speech (Milo in Berkeley). Your SJW buddies coined the phrase ‘hate speech’ cause people are, apparently, unable to make their own minds up on social issues. They need your SJW buddies to burn a few garbage cans and trash a few public buildings. The left are the ones implementing the bathroom BS. Title IX was done under Obama. Are you under a rock or something? You should change your med’s. When Trump revoked Title IX in 2017; you leftist were so upset. In addition, I would like to see the data that ..’no trans has ever sexually attacked a person’ …typical CNN talk. BTW…Trump has Kim -‘in-check’. Something no democrat or republican has been able to do for over 50 years. Communication is better than no communication. Kim has rockets… Would you rather we have no dialogue. That somehow seems like a better option? Ignorance must be blissful, Charlie…
The transcript isn’t the main thing required; release the whistleblower complaint
That’s actually what the demand ate saying now. After the White House agreed to release the entire transcript, then the dems day they’re not worried about the transcript anymore, they want to hear what’s the Whistleblower has to say. WOW! I guess that anyone gullible enough to still support the dems definitely isn’t bright enough to figure out what’s wrong with that picture. All I can say about that is, for those who still foolishly support the dems, please carry on! You’re just part of the entertainment at this point!
@Randy Gamble You are a liar. The request has ALWAYS been for release of the actual whistleblower complaint, as REQUIRED BY LAW. They have been illegally withholding it, and are trying to distract from the actual complaint by releasing a “memo” of the “recollection and notes made by the situation room staff” of the call; just like YOU are trying to distract from the criminal actions of a corrupt administration. And for the record, I *WILL* carry on my support of the democrats, which is to say, the party of LAW. If you want to call patriotism and upholding democracy “entertainment,” then that’s on you, liar.
Yes, get as much information as possible. Expose the criminal behavior.
@Randy Gamble , if you are still foolishly following this president, please carry on! The whistleblower complaint is what needs to be released from the beginning. This is slight of hand by the corrupt right!
@Q , conspiracy theorist? Still holding onto the Pizzagate conspiracy?
Because if he is investigated even before his presidency then he is a criminal and needs to be held accountable
BADDA-CAS MEDIA when it gets bad trump will resign and put Pence in to pardon him which is how Nixon avoided jail….this may well happen
Uhhh Obama wiretapped Trump for Russian collusion while he was a private citizen running in a campaign (which, by the way, is ironically what they are trying to impeach Trump for)… the Russian collusion investigation of which was put to bed by Mueller. So you don’t even have a point here bucko, try to keep up with current events
@Grinning Libertarian , that was debunked dummy. Send me your proof, right here or go away! You are using stupid Trumps lies and innuendos. You have nothing but lies, give it up! And no, the Mueller investigation was not put to bed by Mueller, it was never put to bed. Trump obstructed justice which is a crime, the DOJ is refusing to indict a sitting president and SDNY is waiting for him in New York for his criminal behavior when he leaves office!
No, GOP your job is to protect the constitution FIRST. Even common european people know that. Is it not strange that you do not understand that.
The transcript will be altered yugely with a black sharpie.
We dont need any transcript, when DT just announced his pressuring Ukraine to investigate Biden’s. What more do we need ..?
Charles McCharles well there is the fact that Trump lies about everything but you are right of course
@John Wagn What has Trump lied about? Can you cite a few sources?
