    1. @Wolf’Jarl Gr’Bane โ€œI raised my concerns that I had heard that Hunter Biden was on the board of a company owned by somebody that the U.S. Government had spent money trying to get tens of millions of dollars back and that could create the perception of a conflict of interest,โ€ Kent told lawmakers behind closed doors in October. โ€œThe message that I recall hearing back was that the vice presidentโ€™s son Beau was dying of cancer and that there was no further bandwidth the deal with family related issues at that timeโ€ฆ That was the end of that conversation.โ€

    2. @Crystal Giddens Whatever looser what’s your proof something soon to be with an Epstein killing AG? Need to silence him.

    1. @C M You have it wrong, they do have the votes in the House, but NOT in the Senate.He is definitely being Impeached, but the Nazi led Senate will never betray their Fuhrer. He will be “exonerated” again, and will wreak havoc on our country until the election. My fear is, that his insane followers will start a civil war, so that we may have to suspend the 2020 election, thereby dooming the Republic!

    2. @dmwegnerowicz7554 Someone else clued me in today about the House vote or there is no need for 2/3 rds of the House for impeachment. The Senate is a different story. Citizens United $$$ will decide if man-BABY gets impeached.

  1. Along with his fellow witnesses, he is presenting incontrovertible evidence that the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. No wonder Vindman is visibly nervous. In testifying anyway, he is vindicating the highest ideals of a country where no man, not even the president, is above the law. Vindman was not born here, but he is a far better American than the Trump toadies who question his loyalty.

    1. Then you must not be familiar with what incontrovertible evidence is, they’ve offered no such thing. It’s all their “belief” or “perceived” opinion, nothing even remotely resembling a fact, all opinions and feelings. You even had a dem rep who said hearsay is better than direct evidence, WHAT!? This is all political theater and nothing more…..

    2. John Swo As a veteran, I will question his loyalty. Being a veteran does not make you above reproach. He comes across as a partisan hack, period.

    1. @Littlefinger still lower then other developed western nations,no system of healthcare will be perfect but if the united states government can afford a 13 billion dollar ship and a 1.7 trillion dollars plane project with military bases spread all over the world I think they can afford to spend money on it’s citizens

    2. @My Dixie Normus Yes a whole year in countries germany lmao, the cost of most of the democrats plans would be way higher tho, with such a debt it’s suicide.

    3. @Littlefinger well the current system is for sure not working and the right wing everyone fend for themselves while private insurers get rich and a good portion of americans just live in healthcare debt doesn’t work either

    4. @My Dixie Normus The biggest problem in american private healthcare is that many states block any competition (a state can refuse to let a private investor build a new hospital is they decide that there are already too many hospitals), blame the establishment and politicians not private property like some people (Bernie) are trying to make you believe.

    1. @Kelly ann kanye Kelly, you must be very young and live with your parents.
      Can you tell me the ” high crime” that Trump did? Take your time. No, You hating him from day one, is not grounds for impeachment.
      Now, can you tell me how this circus is good for our country and 325 million legal citizens?

    2. @Jack J and you must live in a trailer park, high off Opiods all day, if you dont know the answer to your own Stupid questions.

    3. @Kelly ann kanye Oh, and no, I don’t live in a trailer park. Is there something wrong with conservatives and liberals living in ac” trailer park”? Oh, you’re an elitist liberal.

  2. There are several things Trump’s republicans are killing, the earth, my will to live, but the impeachment hearings are not one of those things.

    1. @Lorraine Myers you sound like a democrat. “If”, “I believe”, “I assumed,” “I think,” but evidence is non existent. If Obama broke the law, the Republicans will have evidence. They just don’t make stuff up, thank God. Slandering is sinful.

    2. @Rainy Cat The evidence is there. The GOP just chooses to believe it isn’t. If it were a DEM President , and a GOP majority still, thia would’ve been a done deal. No way should ANY President be allowed to get away with what Trump has.

    3. @Lorraine Myers you can hope it’s there. You can dream it’s there, but Lorraine, it’s not, and you know it.

    1. Hale, a career diplomat, testified that the suspension of aid to various countries was part of a context in which the Trump administration had โ€œembarked on a foreign assistance review in which we are trying to reestablish the norms that guide the assistance that we provide overseas.โ€ Hale called the review of U.S. foreign aid โ€œlong overdue.โ€

    2. @Nevyn of OZ 1973 A TDS sufferer knows anything and everything important about President DJ Trump and it is all negative and if anyone tells them other wise they are a liar or an uneducated buffoon. A TDS sufferer will consistently reinforce illness (much like anyone suffering from any drug addiction) by frequently watching “news” *programs* on a regular basis. Of course their main objective is to reinforce their hatred of the president but their high comes from discovering something new and even more sinister about him. TDS sufferers are keen on authority figures so when someone in a major studio reports how evil President Trump is they swell with enthusiasm. If they are in public, they will often at least nod and murmur their words of approval. the more severe sufferers of TDS will often be more vocal and even incorporate body language to express their approval much like a sports spectator. If, on the other hand and in public a TDS sufferer were to be within ear and screenshot of any news broadcast that spoke highly of the president, the sufferer will likely guffaw (loudly enough to be heard) at what is being said. The more severe sufferer of TDS will guffaw even louder and often yell out LIAR (despite being in public)! They may also attempt to protect others from hearing (and possibly believing) what is said by becoming even more vocal to the point of being downright obnoxious. If there is any semblance of support from other TDS sufferers they will engage in a cacophony of guffaws and name calling at the screen and if anyone dare challenge them they will receive the same response. Typically *not very manly,* TDS sufferers are only a threat in groups, which they greatly prefer being in any way so things could get ugly if they feel they have the upper hand… There is no cure for TDS and it is *”progressive.”*

    3. @Crystal Giddens You are not considered intelligent enough by your own political party to have legal control over your own genitals therefore your comment is not worth reading. Any sub human that lacks the intellect to be responsible for their own genitals is beneath a First World Person. Stay in your third world nation and do not bother those that are superior to you.

    1. @myredfestiva CNN is relying on contrived polls
      Bull Shifts ability to hide the Whistle blower and Joes admission

      BLOCKBUSTER
      Let the cover up begin

    2. @myredfestiva These are the same Democrats who believed Trump had ties with Russia because they heard it on Saturday night live. they are hopeless

    3. police democrats deserve everything they get. Trump is like Tom Brady. They hate him because he always wins. Lol

    1. @Kelly ann kanye – I was making a play on the word…’lush’ is a slang-term for a ‘chronic drinker’. ๐Ÿธ
      We thought the emoji would indicate that clearly… ๐Ÿ˜

    2. @CynAnne1 I’m glad to know that at least I got one dummy to spell correctly, and use better English.
      There might be hope for you, after all…but I doubt it.๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฝ

    1. @Real Talk You know, it isn’t even clear what Trumpkin means when he says “Russia hoax.” He should explain what he means by it, and you shouldn’t sheepishly repeat that stupid term until he does. It always comes off sounding like a denial of Russia’s interference in our politics, in particular their involvement in harming HRC and helping Trump in 2015-16, and denying that flies in the face of documented facts accepted by Democrats, Republicans and non-political officials, such as those in the FBI, and of course Robert Mueller’s team, alike. We also have a nice, thorough report about those activities from Mueller’s team.
      If, on the other hand, “Russia hoax” refers to speculation about Trump’s possible collusion with the Russians in said efforts, even then there is documented evidence of Trump’s knowledge and willingness of foreign assistance to his campaign through WikiLeaks, as well as his public calling upon Russia to find Hillary’s mythical missing emails. In addition, we know that Paul Manafort shared polling data with the Russians, who we know were attempting to influence the election. Even if Trump himself was unaware of this, and this has not been established one way or the other, his campaign manager did knowingly and purposely collude with the Russians. Trump’s campaign was very much dirtied up by Russian colluders, in fact. Whether Trump was personally aware of this or not…

    1. @Jean Roch
      Yeah, whatever, Skippy, tell Sly he needs to put everyone in party mode and spin down to Jiffymart and flip him up some speckled panties and raspberry lipstick for the Boy George pajama Bash at the underground church of Satan next weekend

    1. TV Celebrity… Has to spin it so his “ratings” are higher. He doesn’t care about the legality, just the perception.

    1. ‘TDS’…
      ‘Trump’s Damnable Schemes’.
      Too bad *everyone’s* ‘onto him’ now.
      *Every* state, *every* bank, *every* insurance company and *every* country that #45’s *lied to* in his filings *ARE* ‘comparing notes’…and *finding* ‘faults’.
      And *soon* #45’s life becomes…a *neverending nightmare* of litigations and losses. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ“‘๐Ÿ‘‹

    1. Too bad his tweeting fingers didn’t stop working! Disgusting, Disrespectful POS. Inappropriate for someone who wants to be the leader of this great nation

    2. @Saddest News I’m with you. I just don’t know how his followers defend him. Gotta be blind Faith. Nothing else explains this mass suicide.

    1. @that wasn’t.chicken That’s because you are not listening or not viewing at all. I think it is both. The economy is not booming. Unemployment has been going down since 2010 under the Obama administration. And we all know what he walked into. The economy had stabilized if that were not so Trump would have walked into the same mess Obama did. Yet, you want to give him credit for doing nothing. The top 5% is making more money but the middle class is making less on the dollar. So, although, more people are working they are working for much less than it has been for them in the past. The hearing is clear and precise. All of these career people state Trump wanted dirt on his political opponent for the release of money that was already passed by Congress. Look at all the people he has surrounded himself with that are now in jail. Are you really that stupid? Well, I guess you are because you still support him. It’s party or nothing else for you. If a dog was a Republican you would support it. The lies, cheating, being a racist ect… really doesn’t matter.

    2. The Ark
      Iโ€™m on board The Ark! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ฏ
      Itโ€™s crazy how I can read your words and they make perfect sense to me. I also agree with your conclusions. Then a Trumper will bash you three ways from Sunday. Listening to a Trump supporter is literally like trying to have a dialogue with a Scientologist and they start talking about Operating Thetan levels. ๐Ÿ˜’
