'It's A Bombshell': Shakedown Witness Confirms Damning Impeachment Call | MSNBC
Most Corrupt President Ever.
Most Ignorant President Ever.
Give us one case where he was corrupt. Was it when he brought black unemployment to the lowest ever, or when he brought the total unemployment to the lowest in 50 years, or when he brought NK to the table (no other president could do that), or when he signed and executive order protecting Medicare, or when he signed 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund into law, or when the US Economy Added 164,000 New Jobs in July; Wages increased 3.2 percent, or when he brought down taxes to the middle class, or when he brought the economy up to the best in 16 years (remember, Obama said 2% was the new norm), or when 480,000 Manufacturing Jobs added since President Trump’s election, and the list goes on and on. So as I said give us just one case where he is corrupt.
@Gary Rosie It’s not the news, I just don’t happen to like compulsive liars, racists, bigots, misogynists, hypocrites and dishonest people and Mr Trump happens to be all of the above.
@Jim Bananasok. He’s been caught committing crimes, no denying that. and it’s possible, if not likely (taking into account his personal stupidity and tendency to surround himself with incompetency), that he’ll be caught commiting more. But the man doesn’t have the monetary means, intellectual capability, or political acumen to be the “most corrupt president ever”. You do realize the people that puts him up against? Such an accusation expects too much of him and asserting it only feeds the trash-tv, tabloid rag, circus barker political atmosphere that he, along with people like Bernie Sanders, has ushered in.
@Elwood McGuire I was happily kind of agreeing with you until you said Bernie is trash. What the…. Bernie is all for taking money out politics, he has a vision to bring to the american people the same living standards enjoyed by Europeans, Canadians and Australasians. If Bernie takes over everyone’s life will improve except for the insanely rich and corporate executives plus you may take the lead in future technology to save the planet.
Bernie is the antithesis of Trump.
Trump only has one problem; He can’t get rid of all those pesky honest people.
@Leticia Williams I say the same to you dummy.
I love how all of the so called “Christians” forget Jesus’s commandments and fall all over themselves to defend that Orange con man. God will not be mocked and will bring his wrath upon all who use his name to commit sins.
Learn about NPD and Cluster B Disorders. They affect 5% of the population and you will run into them at work, play, romance, church and politics. Also be aware that there is something called “Covert Narcissism” (these people are the most dangerous because they fly under the radar). Spot them, avoid them and do not enable them. Search NPD traits, search narcissistic abuse and narcissistic false self.
There is room in the bottomless pit.
Trump followers are co-dependent. This means they will go out of their way to forgive Trump the abuser anything in order to protect their own belief system- so that they can get security and acknowledgement outside of themselves. Blaming others when things go awry is so much easier than looking inside. Most of all they protect their own desperate belief that their narcissistic abuser Trump is a good guy who is strong and powerful and that he will help them get their basic needs met. Search “NPD Codependency” for a very good read.
@Kathleen Martin
Kindred soul you are ,your speaking the truth that many white people neglect to admit/mention,your comment made me smile somehow in the hurt of it… just shows we still have people who can “SEE” the TRUTH and spread it! Bless You!
The only thing that’s more stupid than Trump is his supporters.
Zachary mcguirk get your head examined you have Trump derangement syndrome
@Phirum Yin What facts…the amazing economy we have ? Wake up buddy, he’s partying on your credit card = the deficit he created is astronomical. Democrats will have to fix it again as Obama fixed the mess Bush left…remember ? Republicans always do that knowing that their low IQ followers think that the economy was better when they were in power.
Oh ok, if it makes you feel better, wink.😟
I can see the day that in our dictionaries we use “Trump” as a word refer to a failed and corrupted person.
@Wilma You’re terminally stupid if you STILL believe in Fox’ long debunked no-go-zones. Those on their map of central Paris are so posh and pricey that it’s like claiming Bel Air in LA, or Park Avenue in Manhattan are no-go-zones ~ ROFL
Gimme a central no go zone, I’ll move there in a New York minute!
Or synonymous with Lies.
When you have clowns defending a clown you get embarrassed and laughed at .
Not my circus, not my clowns.
I thought exactly the same thing when Kent and Taylor were asked to identify the impeachable offences Trump committed on the 25 July call. Crickets.
When this is over, goose stepping harpy Ingraham needs to be run out of town with nothing but her armband. She shouldn’t be welcome in the US anymore, she doesn’t have the intelligence
She’s Axis Sally.
Anybody or part of an entity who plays a part of trying to cover up the corruption and lies of the chump should be charged with conspiracy to the crimes. Fox fake “news” should be banned for life and those who are spreading the lies and propaganda should all be charged for conspiracy and treason to our country and every rePublican who is covering up for chump should be immediately removed from office and charged with treason, treason and locked up for their crimes against the USA!!!
He paid $1mil to enter the swamp, now is being swallowed alive.
Not fast enough for me!
Don’t feed the alligators!
😭
Just look at his face. And when he talks, his jaws look so disgusting.
Ronnie Mead : he did it to himself. Way to go Portland! Hope people totally Avoid his Hotels. Bring the Million $ man down
May I introduce a new meaning to the word “Trumped”:- totally guilty.
“The President is Trumped”
David Freeley no, the republicans are trumped. They are under his spell….
Time to subpeana Trump! Let individual 1 answer for his actions on national TV.
@CellGames2006 Hilarious ! Thanks from France ! 😉
@Shameful 45 #Irony
Delusional paranoid psychopaths make for lousy witnesses. He could tell three conflicting stories morning, noon and night and pass a lie detector each time.
Kwame Smith please don t. This will not only be embarressing for americans but for the whole of humanty.
@George Clowney We americans have no problem with seeing corruption exposed and expunged. America is taking out an infection.
To still support him, the incest has to be strong within your family
lordofleaves as Trump would reply: incest is ok as long as it stays within the family! 😆
You can tell a man’s character by the company he keeps.
@Patty Macdonald
It’s an unfortunate event in history to KNOW that Republicans are racist and they put trump on a pedestal for displaying it! Therefore they dont care what he does they’re just happy they have a fellow white supremacist as thier potus…absolutely disgusting and makes me embarrassed to be American at this moment in time…people have died due to the ignorance of this president in so many ways…when will the American people see how dangerous this man is to our country…oh when russians are here with thier troops…WAKE UP
@David Luyster Trump had a picture with him and Epstein in it.If that’s the case maybe you should be arrested.
@Gary Rosie Yeah, I’m not going to dignify your whining with a reply, moron.
@Gary Rosie ZERO CONTENT, ZERO SUBS. How’s the weather in Russia, TROLL? You lost me at ‘fake news’, moron.
Sondland isn’t a witness, he’s a co-conspirator.
He’s a co-conspirator who doesn’t want to go down on the S.S.Trump. Tell the truth or go to jail.
Why is the truth pill so difficult to swallow? Pad it, customize it, rub it, hide it, delay it,….it will eventually come to light.
As my mother used to say all the time. “If they had half a brain they’d be dangerous.”
Thats scary to think about
Amenhir I agree, but the Democrats have less than 1/2 a brain and they’re very dangerous!
After this revelation, they have got Trump by the short and curly’s, Republicans wanted first hand witness, well they have got it now! Orange man needs to disappear , please.
Jayne Berkley Yeah, another “bombshell”. You’ve finally got him now! “The walls are closing in”! “It’s the beginning of the end”. 🤣 You libs are so gullible for the propaganda. You’re always waiting for the next “bombshell”. Then it fizzles out, and you gulp down the next bit of propaganda. When will you wake up? 🤣
Mr Allen, I really don’t think I’m waiting for the next bombshell, Trumps whole presidency has been a bombshell , from start to hopefully soon to finish, it would be nice to see America as a inspirational country again , and not a joke.
This was THWARTED bribery, still impeachable!
That’s a great word. : )
“Your Honor, I tried to rob the bank…I ran in there with a mask and a gun, pointed it at the teller and demanded all the money…but then a cop saw me and I ran off empty handed…so therefore I didn’t rob the bank…so no harm no foul, right? We’re all good here, right?”
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Don’t forget to sue for the distress of being caught!
I bet Sondland made the call so he could seem like a big shot. Like “watch this I can call the President directly because we are cool like that and I am doing important business for him…I am so cool.”
carmay3600 good point! I had the very same thought. He ordered a bottle of wine for the table and was discussing his hotel business and then…. the phone call lol!
Everything he has done as president should be erased the judges everything should be removed, he was a fake president so nothing he did should be let stand
Even blotting out the #45.
Sondland is discovering lickety split that he has got himself into something way out of his league.
They funny part is he bought the job with 1million dollars! Lmao, I wonder how he feels now!
too late for him to go back to slapping paint on elderly hotels in Oregon…
