    1. Easier, yes, but nowhere near as lucrative. 1) People are more likely to watch a short video than a long. 2) Each click on a video is a payday for them.

  1. Again, Pelosi and Congress goons saying it is illegal for US Citizens to hold onto their hard earned money before it is ripped out of our hands into the corrupt governments of the world…all in the name of “AID”. What a joke! 23 trillion and getting higher my friends. All the while, Pelosi and her criminal cohorts getting wealthier by the minute. We the People pay the price. Bullies 1 – people 0.

    1. @Tidbit  Tidbit  ok so your trump derangement syndrome is really out of control I see why your blind but hey dummy Congress only worked for 3 or 4 months because its took weeks to travel across the country for them to be in Washington you seriously are so dumb its surprising you can put sentences together at all, if you can’t see that career politicians are why our gov is so incapable of getting anything done you’ve obviously been brain washed with some over priced liberal bogus education lol you cry democracy democracy but once a candidate gets elected it’s nearly impossible to get them unelected you moron that’s not democracy that the facts people in Pelosi district dont vote for Pelosi they would vote for a glass of water if it had a d next to it just like she said and shes consolidated the power so shell never be contested shes way more of a king than Donald trump your just so dense and brainwashed you cant see through your own misgivings lol and your proving even more your level of incompetence by saying the case against trump in the impeachment is iron clad literally even CNN and MSNBC say this will end in trumps acquittal that’s far from an iron clad case lol that just shows how wrong and biased you are… and yes Americans are smart and know the truth that’s why the elected trump over Hillary in 2016 and that’s why trumps favorability numbers have gone up since impeachment and support for impeaching him has gone down across the board and if you cant accept that that is the truth look up the real clear politics average and you’ll see it for yourself… I’m sorry you’ve been so blinded by the evil liberal propagandists you got your education from but it’s ok that’s why people like me are here to bring you back to reality my friend nd I’m also team yang we just believe in speaking facts not manipulating half truths and lies to fit a narrative in your favor ie what you’ve done through this entire back and forth

    2. @Peter G You don’t have a clue, you need to go to university and learn how to tell the difference between fake news and the truth.

    3. @Tidbit and listen buddy this whole impeachment thing goes out the window the moment the truth about hunter bidens illegal actions with burisma come out into the light… one illegal move by hunter in Ukraine and trump is vindicated in his actions and the entire premise of impeachment goes out the window lmfao this has done nothing but helped trump his numbers were down before impeachment and once hes proven right about hunter it’s basically guaranteeing his reelection… meanwhile you have people like you out there gaslighting the public and forcing people who dont like trump to defend him because the lies about him are so out of control all your doing is creating defacto trump supporters who oppose you and back trump just based on how fundamentally wrong your rhetoric is lol your hurting the anti trump cause acting the way you have

    4. @Tidbit tidbit I’m sorry but you’ve been brainwashed my dude lol even liberal commentators agree with what I’m saying try watching rising on the hill tim Poole jimmy dore and get some truth in your diet bro it will help your mental sanity

    1. @William Bledsoe The dems are morons thanks for giving me the perfect example of that… and I’m not team trump I’m team yang I just believe in telling the truth when you spread lies and false half truths it forces people who dont like trump to call you out for lying and by default support him people acting like you are is forcing people to defend trump when normally they never would haha it’s super counterproductive

    2. @JewlzBeats your math is as good as your ability to accept the truth lol try watching rising on the hill or Tim Poole jimmy dore get some truth in your life jewlz

    3. @Peter G sounds good. The truth ? I really hope witnesses get to be called specifically the ones he’s ordered not to , along with the documents.

    1. @Thomas Johnson even Boris Johnson was having a laugh at mr Trump the other month, so yeah, he’s an authority in both intellect and accomplishments. plus, he knows the best words. :}

  2. “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
    ― James Madison, Federalist Papers

    1. You do understand that they want to do away with the legislative, executive, and Judiciary branches don’t you and combine it all back under one roof so there will no longer be a separation of powers like it is now. Why do you think people like AOC can not even name the 3 branches of government.

    2. @Raern corner production That is the course being plotted since the end of WWII. The dumbing down of education with left wing politics along with left wing mayors to convert police into corporate security and gender gestapo. Yep, I know. I see it on the ground out here in Portland.

    3. @Raern corner production . I don’t think Congress will remove Trump because of Article II section 4 of the Constitution “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and ‘conviction’ of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” There is a nuance here one can easily miss: Article II section 4 is remarkably simple and maddeningly vague. The framers of the Constitution all agreed that a president should be removed from office if he committed treason, bribery, or other “high crimes,” but most of them also believed that the president might be removed if he were found culpable of “malfeasance in office” (a term used in early drafts of the Constitution). On the other hand, most of the framers agreed that it would be improper for Congress to remove a president simply because they “might” disagree with him, and since “malfeasance” was a term with a meaning that might vary in the eye of the beholder, they substituted the term “Misdemeanors” for “malfeasance.” See? This is the confusion, not some bogus of a violation of oath or otherwise. Trumps’ hilarious claptrap doesn’t matter either. For what Democrats are claiming they need a conviction; not going to happen. This is the weakest impeachment of the three. I think Congress, mostly Democrats, are trying to rest power from the “office” of president. Without three branches of government, without “trias politica”, there is no United States of America, and therefore no Constitution.

  3. By holding onto the articles for weeks and delaying the Senate trial, Nancy Pelosi has stuck it to Bernie Sanders, ensuring he’s in Washington and not out on the campaign trail.

    1. Bernie and Warren won’t be out there. Yes I think they did it to stop Bernie. DNC is trying anything they can to stop Bernie like thay did in 2016.

    1. @Democracy Now go get your meds! Keepin it 💯 he said gtfoh. That aint keepin it 100 that is the sign your starten to loose it. Too much winning I guess

  4. All roads lead to Putin, No! you corrupt, crazy people

    All roads lead to the CFR Council on Foreign Relations

  5. Oh what tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive. (Sir Walter Scott – 1808)

    212 years later and still as applicable as ever.

  6. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are coming thru , it’s all over now baby blue!

  7. Oh and your tangled web Nancy is oh so tangled and I feel sorry for your soul when you face God face to face.
