Lawrence: ‘Your Votes Made History Tonight’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Way to go Democrats 👍 You did the right thing and stand up for the rule of law.
Adam Moscow Mitch is worse.
@Sonny Bluff Most of the things in the Steele dossier have been proven to be true.
@Dora Tiscareno LOL!! Is that Trump? Saying “WRONG” doesn’t help your case.
@Phatec Okay Fox news.
Adam Give me one example.🤦♂️
I like this impeachment process so much that I’d like to see tRumps fat rump impeached again & again until he’s removed from office & imprisoned!
……. along with his Corrupt Crime Ridden Family!!
@Randy Baith _”he was NOT impeached”_
And you’re calling _me_ ignorant? Lol
It’s hilarious how Democrats are now trying find a way out of impeachment. You already looked like deranged idiots. Now everyone knows you’re all cowards too!
@C H We have 3 separate but equal branches of Government for a reason, and then there is “Due Process”. Look it up, the fake news is playing on ignorant ppl like you to spread propaganda. Most of America is not that stupid. Trump will win 2020!!
Had it not been for the whistleblower, the announcement of the investigation into Joe Biden would’ve thrown the democratic side way off and confused (rightfully so) and this moment wouldn’t have ever happened. Trumps plan was foiled and now we(the 65 million Americans) plan to hold POTUS accountable. No one is above the law.
@Shirley Kurtz
What truth would that be? That Pelosi is on a megalomaniacal power play? That Schiff and Nadler are her lap dogs?
That Democrats were judged as lacking in the last election? The Senate will show the same fairness that the house did.
@petros593
Then they can vote to nullify Trump’s impeachment. That would be cool.
@v blackwell
Vote Trump 2020!
You will feel better about yourself and your self esteem will soar
Keep America great!
@Wade Haden – Master Jedi Engineer Goth
There never was a whistle blower.
@Sophia Lewis
What brave person?
The fictional whistle blower. Whose whistle did Schiff blow?
*PLEASE* republicans stop acting like everyone voted for trump, he didn’t even win the popular vote…
@Wonder Wonderful .
@rrmndtqrg8 q Word, if it was we would be celebrating the success of Bernie’s first term right now.
Sharilee OutLoud You’re* … careful don’t hurt yourself
Happy Impeachment Everyone 😊
Happy Impeachment Omega.👍🥂🌼
Happy Impeachment!
Happy Impeachmas!🥳✌🏻🎉🎊🇺🇸🎄
Salute to the Democrats. Some of them voted for the impeachment at the risk of losing their seats.
Some dems voted honestly. Tulsi who is from hawaii a total blue state voted no. Explain that?
@91GT347 let them vote on it so history can record their treason for all time
@lessoufihighly doubt it!
@Jason Brewer I can understand the feeling but there is no other strong options which independents can feel right standing behind.
Yayyyyyy best day of 2019″ and it isn’t over yet!!!! He will be EXPOSED even more for the con man he is as well as his administration and supporters!!! THANK YOU DEMOCRATS, there are still DECENT people in our government!!!!!!
You know he’s going to be re-elected.
William Esselman Keep telling yourself that, you poor fool.
The Grand Wizard of the Republikkklan party finally got impeached.
@Brad brad , did Putin tell you that..??
@Rod Allen , keep recycling that crap. The KKK endorsement went to trump and trump accepted that endorsement.
@Rod Allen The parties basically switched platforms. Do some research and learn American political history you MAGA moron.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are very brave. Thank you for doing the patriotic thing, Democrats.
@GamesAndSuch You are a great example of modern Republicans. Don’t bring anything to the table, make very random false claims about democratic figures and having nothing to back any of it. You are shameful.
No they’re not brave that is trying to keep you looking over there is that there corruption how they go to foreign countries after given them money and shaking them down for her own personal benefit they make me sick
@GamesAndSuch Republicans: And we break the law because we DON’T care.
@GamesAndSuch , your boy in the WH is the drug addict blasting out 100 tweets in one day…
The books and scripts are being wrote. Impeached!
I think they’re written!
@vicki Lawrence right they are written and couldnt come soon enough me to say the least about being 👍🏼 long over due
I’m so happy that this grifter, liar, cheat and Putin butt kissing traitor to the USA will go down in history forever as having been impeached. Yes!
@Nicholas A. There’s no voter supression; just stopping voter fraud.
@perlyngemark The Supreme Court said Trump’s tax records are off limits. If there really was something damning in them; Lois Lerner would have told us all about it before the election. Even RBG ruled Trump’s tax records are off limits.
The Don The Conman: ‘read the transcript”. He always provides the evidence. Right Stormy.
When you dressed up in S&M
@Barry Sutton when the great Stormy is spanking tiny mushroom 😝
@Barry Sutton Still TFR?? (Trolling For Russia). Or, is it TFP?? (Putin). “Barry”? Do you like Putin’s Russia? Do you want to see OUR Republic, the United States of America become like the totalitarian un-democratic travesty that IS Russia? Would you like that??
It feels like I’ve witnessed the moon-landing after watching the vote come down.
“It’s a small step for justice, but a giant leap for democracy”
Well done America, well done.
@riobravo1961 I must have hit a nerve. See a therapist for your anger management problem before you get arrested for a hate crime, or hate speech.
By the way, Hillary lost three years ago. Get over it, you won. Be happy.
Excellent and true @MarcEmson.
When he asked for the favor he defined his ideology: Trump first and America second.
🎼”There’s just one thing,
You need to know:
Trump said
“Do me a favour, though.” 🎶
Except he said ” Do us a favor, though”. Not “me”. That’s another thing the Democrats love to do, misquote the quote. Embarrassing.
I don’t think it’s even America 2nd! That would mean he cares somewhat about it’s ppl but the citizens aren’t even in his radar! Think about it!
@HouseLannisterLeo
🎼”There’s just one thing,
You need to know:
Trump said
“Do me a favour, though.” 🎶
Even the Mueller report was more than enough for impeachment… for people who use their brains.
But Bob chickened out the big baby
Alpha 6.31 Then why didn’t they?
“America if you’re listening” Get trumps tax returns.
“America, if you are listening” should be the dems post I. Impeachment rallying cry.
#Americaifyouarelistening
😂 😂 😂
@Rod Allen An Impeached President CANNOT be pardoned according to the Constitution.. Trump cannot be pardoned for future crimes, which we know will be plenty.. 👍🇺🇸 Sooner or later it will catch up to him..
@91GT347 – “t was just proven the FBI was corrupt and out to get him.” What report are you reading? It definitively stated that there was no directed or political bias in the opening of that investigation, and numerous texts show many of the investigators were trump supporters. So his own supporters were out to get him? Did they screw the pooch on process in several locations? Certainly. But to claim they were ‘out to get him’ when trumps own DOJ says, nope not a thing is laughably ignorant.
Also have you noticed, everyone who has been arrested and been convicted or plead guilty is connected to Trump. Isn’t that odd? (See we can do it too)
Trump is the absolute KING of projection and his followers get right behind it.
LOL!! ……. & his medical records & school transcripts!!!
The fact he’s still in office is offensive
Exactly!!!! ….. he & his family should be hanging from the end of ropes!!!
He is still very dangerous to the country? Bring out the M-16 now this will stop lil Donny and save what is left of the USA.Send Putin a very strong message!!! Get in the way**** ur next.
Still can’t believe it. This has been the craziest President ever. I need to be pinched harder. can’t believe we had to endure this SH!T for this long. 👏
Let’s wait for the SENATE vote; either they honor their oath to the constitution and America or they show their equal corrupt self’s.
“Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”
You’re a bit slow on the uptake if you didn’t realise he was on the road to getting impeached as soon as he got elected.
That’s what the world will remember: the American People cared so little about anything that it took more than 1000 days for Trump to get impeached, despite being an obvious traitor.
That was a GREAT reminder, that the 2018 overwhelming Dem win was in order to make this con artist accountable to the People.
Congrats Dems. You are on the ” Write” side of history.
abmong It’s one of the many reasons why I didn’t want him to even be elected to begin with. Aside from the fact that I don’t like him, never did, but I knew it would lead up to this because of his past and I don’t have to tell you cause I’m sure you know very well what his past is all about.
TheBluearmy33 Yeah I often wonder what people expected considering his known past connections with the mob and how his wealth was inherited and acquired. Those alone should have given people pause… His bankruptcy records also doesn’t inspire confidence. Only extremely low information voters could vote for such a crook… such an incompetent crook…
POTUS takes no responsibility for his actions he only blames others .
