  1. Divide down part line. People don’t care about history. Remember in the south they still have the daughter’s of the confederate and they are proud to belong to a group of people that fought against the US.

    1. @r385671 I don’t want the family skeletons rattled and if you had any idea who some of my family connections were who had been in politics you’d be very surprised. No I prefer to vote and criticize. I am steeped in history and government and economics . I also try to look at all sides. Everything is perspective and perception. If you can see the others you can better understand and possibly reach a concensus. I don’t want to tell people what to think. I just want them to think. Change comes from within if it is to last and have meaning. Besides I’m way too honest.

    2. @Romulus unless we are newly arrived emigrants we all bear that stain. The north aquiesced to it to birth this nation and barring the civil war it took long enough to fix and it still ain’t fixed.

    3. Just you know…………….slavery was legal longer under the Stars and Stripes than under the Confederate Battle Flag.

  2. Pelosi really needs to pull a McConnell and simply never deliver the House verdict to the Senate.
    If they are never given the opportunity to vote on it – till the election, then the result will stand, and Trump will be locked up after he doesn’t get re elected.

    Dems : don’t deliver the verdict.

    Just indict McConnell and focus on expanding the impeachment until GOP members realize they are aligned with criminals, and their only way out is to Do THEIR JOB.

    1. Lol. Cuckoo. Turn off fakenews CNN and MSNBC. You’re not as stupid as they think you are. Cheers from Toronto

    2. McConnell is traitor! A Republican leader in the Senate trial.
      Hope it wont happened again like
      the Mueller investigation as Mueller handed to Barr the report ,then Barr exonerated Trump.

  3. watching from Europe. Worried that norhing will change. Americans should protest…just like Arab countries. Get out and make a difference…stay strong and let your voice be heard.

  4. “I am disgusted by the conduct of Republican senators who pose as reputable people, but shamelessly hide under rocks instead of calling out the president’s horrendous behavior as the gross misconduct that they know it to be,” Don Ayer

    1. @A T
      LOL……….demo-socialists think that using empty hyperbole and meaningless superlatives about non-crime crime makes you look like you got him. LOL…..Trump outsmarted you on the Hillary-funded Russia Hoax. The IG exposed the massive corruption in the alphabet intelligence and crime-fighting agencies. Don’t embarrass yourself. The IG did not exonerate anyone. Horowitz said so. Barr tells us to wait for the Durham indictments. Picture Obama and co. in prison orange. Picture Hillary retiring to a non-extradition country. Don’t laugh. Remember how confident you were in the $40,000,000 500 page doorstop called THE MUELLER REPORT?

    2. @may wilson If you support the Democrat candidates agenda they want to force on this country, then you’re a ANTI-AMERICAN racist pile. PERIOD

  5. While the president acts like a child his enablers destroy their own party. At this point I’m ok with it if our country survives.

    1. Today news:Warning issued after ‘erratic and dangerous’ Russian spy ship spotted near Florida, Carolinas, Navy says

    1. You are correct. The Dems are still the party of the KKK! Instead of individual rights and freedom, they pay off with corrupt cities and welfare. Still the Slave Owners.

  6. Reason this impeachment is partisan is because the continual parade of old white male GOPers are unquestioningly protecting their Dear Leader. Shame on them.

  7. When the Republicans turn its back on the constitution to protect a criminal president compromising our national security, everything they claim to stand for is a lie!

    1. Thomas Armsworthy Jr? If the future Democrat president did the same criminal and disgraceful behavior towards the people, then I agree with you. Anybody acting for his or hers interest, before the American people, should be ousted. Remember majority rules not just a man or woman, rules. The president serves for the people, all people of the United States of America. I’m disgusted by all the underhanded bull-hockey on both sides. The man running this country is not doing a good job. He purposely wants a wedge between the parties and people. Why? Ask why is that? I would think, a businessman would want a relationship for all kinds of people, even his enemies or people he disapproves. His business sense, he doesn’t have any. He acts like a wanna-be Irish mafia boss from the south of Boston. But his mother was Scottish and father was German decent. Go figure. You want a change? Then start doing a positive act in your community. Go down to a community kitchen and serve food or help contribute. Count how many hard working Americans are in the streets. Working Americans not drug attics or alcoholics. There is a bigger problem in the US than the liberals and conservatives. Oh! Most of the churches in the US don’t even help the poor. Imagine that. Word of thought, compassion. Does this man have compassion? I know the answer and so do you.

    2. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr
      “No Reason,” where have you been during all the testimony?
      Trump has most of his henchmen,
      in Prison, waiting for sentencing, or about to be indicted. And You cannot fathom that Trump has played any role in their Crimes and
      Wrong doing!
      Get back to Reality, stop the Green Kool-Aid drinking! Wake up, before this country is unrecognizable.
      He and Many REPUBLICANS are in
      Putin’s debt; they are Traitors to the United States.
      Think, stop watching FOX News 😫

    3. When the demo-socialist party turn its back on the constitution to protect a criminal House Speaker compromising our national security, everything they claim to stand for is a lie!

  8. I do not believe the USA qualifies as a democracy if any jury to remove a President from office acts along party lines and not in defence of the constitution and the interests of the nation.

    1. Our intelligence community concluded Russia interfered in our 2016 election. Trump stood next to Putin at Helsinki and said he believes Russia did not. Who’s the real Russian agent?

    1. If we had term limits and no electorial college. we would not have a Bill of Rights or Constitution. Most young people are Leftist because of our Nationalized ed. Programming system. Which needs to be run by the States.

    2. @peachion2 Yes, Roosevelt was the only President to serve more than two term. Roosevelt died soon after his fourth term started. Soon after Republicans did amendment 22.

    1. Clinton was impeached for lying on a deposition after swearing an oath. It had nothing to do with a BJ. See? This why Trump’s followers are so great. We know our history and we don’t make up ‘facts’.

  9. All this does is make a non-partisan like myself move away from voting for any republican as they cannot vote based on the facts.

    1. You are moronic..you think dems didnt vote based on partisanship? There was no evidence..just speculation and opinion..

    2. All this does is make a non-partisan like myself move away from voting for any democRAT as they cannot vote based on the facts.

  10. I have watched the Impeachment Vote all day, most of the time has been little drama. till 12 o’clock then again at 5 o’clock, at those times the DRAMA went from a 2 to a 10. The republicans has lost any respect, bias, that I had for them. They are no better than trump. The lies I have heard coming out of their mouths is a shame. Play to the money Republicans, Can’t wait till November 2020.

  11. *Remember when “The Chosen One” lied saying “California ‘admitted’ there were a million illegal votes in the 2016 presidential election” even though his voter fraud claim remains baseless?*

  12. 6:30pm December 18, 2019 tRump is impeached … ! Article one approved by the House ! Vote on article two just beginning ..

    1. @mac macstein
      Racist, Sexist, Bigot, Fake, No God,
      Fraud, Blind, Follower, Believer,
      Non-thinker, Stoopid, Ignorant,
      Moron! These apply to All supporters of Evil Trump.
      Get over it.
