    1. @Pam Schobelock Actually, they are doing exactly what they were voted in to do. Defend the Constitution and fight corruption.

    2. TheMaryam1891 I asked if that were the case, why didn’t schitt for brains bring it up at the hearings? And “stupid”? Really? Are you 12?

    1. @Ryan Coldiron LOL, of course they were friends. I live in Palm Beach, and have known trump since 1978. He and Epstein most definitely were friends.

    2. @Boyd Gilbreath no trips on the Lolita Express for Trump although he did throw him out of Mara Lago 15 years ago for being inappropriate with young girls

  1. Congress has already voted it a little late to call witnesses unless they plan to revote…
    This is why they shouldn’t have rushed unless they had sufficient evidence.

    1. @FuckThisSiteNow If only you could comment factually.
      “Notably, according to a list provided by Gaetz’s office of the Republicans who RSVP’d to join the protest, 12 of them are members of the Oversight or Foreign Affairs committees — including Rep. Jim Jordan, the ranking member on the Oversight Committee — meaning they have been allowed to sit in on all depositions held in the SCIF in recent weeks.”

      Nothing like lying,whining, corrupt, law breaking Republicans led by a lying whining, corrupt, law breaking President.
      Get over it,he’s impeached.Legally.Next? REMOVAL IN DISGRACE.

      So,vote him in,We’ll impeach him again in 2020,maybe him and his cult will get the message.

  2. Yep, parade EVERYONE in front of Congress, let’s get ALL the facts and convict every criminal no matter party affiliation.

    1. @JoeyFiveandDimes VOTE these Senators out of office when they refuse to follow the evidence & NOT remove trump from office but first contact your Senators & tell them that if they do NOT remove trump from office that we, the voters will NOT re-elect them when they run again.

    2. @Rosalyn Jeffery But he was, he was investigating the natural gas company Biden was skimming for all that money. That’s why Biden reacted, he didn’t want his son dragged into it.

  3. What I want to be told is that those people will be subpoenaed and that if they don’t appear then armed police or security of some kind should be sent to physically bring these people to testify, even if it’s just as hostile witnesses.

    1. Kaleb Productions I totally agree. And Mega Dog troll wants attention. He’s spouting nonsense. If no one talks to him he’ll go away.

    2. Exactly. If you miss a court date as a jury on a petty trial, you can be fined or thrown in jail. Our representatives aren’t above the law; if we can be punished for ignoring the call of justice, so can they.

    1. If you’re referring to Joe Biden, That is 1 person. You can’t label an entire party because of 1 person. I personally dislike Joe Biden, nominating him as the Democratic runner will ensure a loss in 2020. Yang is the best nominee for Dems by a mile. If they don’t nominate Yang, they will most likely lose. Sanders is too Socialistic, Warren is also far left and has been in a bit of a lying scandal, Pete comes off as too refined, and I do believe Conservatives wouldn’t vote for him due to him wanting to ban “assault weapons”. Yang however has drawn Conservatives already, myself included. He understands the future, and is not stuck in the past. His arguments are supported by facts as well, and he runs on a very similar platform to that of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. He will put actual tangible results in ever Americans hands well, and that is something that is hard to argue with. He is also not Black or White, so he is literally in the middle lol. That’s not a thing that I care about personally, but there are voters out there who will be predisposed racially towards candidates, I do believe.

    2. Too, we have to remember this trial is about the President breaking constitutional laws. It’s not about the Biden’s. If the FBI/CIA finds reason to further investigate the Biden’s then let that be another trial.

    3. @WilliamXIVII Yes, if the best attempt people have at putting down the Democrat party is to pick a neocon that would run with a Republican vice president that no progressives like, that is pitiful.

    1. @Daniel Johnson Yes, let’s not dismiss the right wing’s “alternative facts” just because they aren’t true…

    2. Roger Russell It’s the newspaper that that the overwhelming majority of successful professionals and those hold post graduate school degrees have been reading since 1851.

  4. What happens in the future “trial” will be interesting, but the trial will not shut the door to the continuing flow of evidence against Trump and his accomplices. All of 2020 will be a continuing impeachment.

    1. Exactly. They started scratching for a reason to impeach the morning after the election and the rolling coup will continue until 2024

    2. @Louis Frost When dealing with a habitual, lifetime criminal, there’s no end to the junk that will come out. Deadly.
      You’d think the GOP would have looked into his history before signing on, and stinking with him in history forever. Absolutely suicidal.

    3. @JRG2733 another emotional response full of opinion and no facts.
      You investigate the crime to find the man you don’t investigate the man to invent the crime.
      You speak of a lifetime of crime but in reality it’s a handful of corporate governance violations that wouldn’t stop anyone from holding any office, correct?

    1. A federal judge DID tell Bolton that he couldn’t sue to keep from testifying. So now he has no reason not to because he’s a private citizen and no longer under Trump’s commands.
