    1. Now that Marie Yovanovitch has requested an investigation into what came out from Parnas, I hope that keeps some of this going.

    1. It is exactly just the opposite. YOUR SIDE, is trying to run roughshod over OUR CONSTITUTION, NOT THE REPUBS.

    1. I thought the evidence was already undisputed,
      the veracity of the transcript verified by Sondland and the Lt. Col.,
      the Ukraine President himself said there was no quid pro quo,
      Biden didn’t officially announce his run for president until 4 days AFTER the call to investigate corruption,
      and the HIC/HJC wouldn’t subpoena Lev as a witness when it was their time, despite his attorney requesting that he testify to the House dozens of times.
      The Dems want a reason to scream corruption, when they didn’t even file a single Article for a specific crime, aka bribery, extortion, quid pro quo, etc. as they were threatening to do.
      Good lawd, people will believe anything they want to be true 👎

    2. @Elizabeth notthe queen who said he wasn’t impeached?
      And the Biden’s weren’t involved in what, exactly? My point was that the call asking about corruption, including Biden/Burisma, was 4 days before Biden announced that he was going to run for president. Trump was apparently able to know the future for Joe, and deem him a valid threat at election time. Yeah sure 😉

  1. Looks like a Turkey acts like a chicken defends a pig.
    🎶Moscow Mitch he had a farm. Impeachment the orange foe.

    1. And on this farm he had a Base. Oh no oh no oh no! With a bah-bah there.🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

  2. Mitch is afraid that the American Voters will see and hear.I am still trying to understand why Republicans in the house,Fox News,and Voters are verbally attacking saying horrible things about dems.remember that one deciding vote could be someone watching ,reading the newspaper that could be a republican ,sometimes it not about money, but integrity,principles and morals. The way you treat people in these times were so much hate is going on.Shame on Hannity for calling names,talking about Dems.Shame on the republicans in Congress.I yet to hear Dems say anything hateful about other members in congress.Our Economy is doing great wonder if Russia has anything to do with it?If we have to do taxes and show why shouldnt the president.

  3. Republican impeachment trial: what time are the strippers coming
    Mc Connell: not sure but let’s take a vote after we acquit our leader of any wrongdoings

    1. Yepers he doesn’t want the public to see the Truth ,! That would mean exposure of the Lies ,! And the Republican party can’t have that ,! That’s not Fare, !

    2. Goya Solidar ya like a Schiff did!?!? The dems didn’t play fair now everyone’s crying because the Rep have the upper hand. What’s good for one isn’t for the other now!?!? Hahahah. #Trump2020

    1. If the House GOP threw a fit over keeping the House hearings public, then the GOP Senate should have to do the same!!

    1. No, just arrest them and haul them out. Total corruption on our dime. I don’t think so, Moscow Mitch.

    2. Gwen30
      you need to remember, “Us” includes those who think you and people who think like you are nuts 😀

    3. @Alex Hamilton These elected officials work of us. You either follow our Constitution or you are anti-American. You cannot have it both ways.

    1. The democrats Senators should do EXACTLY what the GOP House Reps did and storm the close sessions if the Republican Senators try to hold the trial privately!!

    2. The press won’t need to force a public trial. A secret trial just will not occur; it would be wholly unconstitutional and Moscow Mitch knows it.

  4. We are the boss,the people are the boss yet Republicans want to hide everything from us. Take everything from us.
    It’s getting close to civil war time.

    1. The Republicans are preparing for a civil war but flooding the country with guns! The last civil war they gave cause for was the south against the north, but this time the anti-American right wing conspirators are among us and they think this time they can win and roll back the US to pre-abolition of slavery times!
      The Republicans and criminal Trump’s tactics can be comparable to how the NAZI party and Hitler took over 1030’s Germany! People think it can’t happen in the US, but keep in mind that Germany was a democracy as was the Soviet Union when the Communist took over! The German people thought the NAZI party was a joke and did not take it seriously and the rest ids history! The US has had a dark side for decades now, in the form of the Republican party and will do everything they can to hide their anti-American conspiracy from the general public, not that it maters for there are so many Trump supporters, no mater what!
      We all know that taking these charges before the Republican dominated senate is unlikely to remove this criminal compulsive lying hate mongering fascist Trump from office! The Republican would destroy the US quickly, instead of slowly, before they impeached one of their own because they have show n to have the same lack of morals and lowest mentality as criminal Trump and think this country should have the same low standards of civility as they do!

    2. @J Rayez : You fault Nadler for “waddling?” Have you watched Trump walk or stand? Trump should be impeached for not knowing how to use an umbrella!

  5. The press has never been so persecuted than in the last 3 years. Yes. Press should report honestly, but honesty never satisfies all parties. Someone will always be ticked, but there is supposed to be FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

  6. “Mitch McConnell thinks this trial will look bad for his members. And that’s why he wants you to see as little as possible.” But Americans want to see it ALL, don’t play games, Mitch!!!
