79 comments

    1. Ungha Bungha You’ve called Biden a “corrupt crackhead” even though there’s no evidence of corruption (source: MSNBC) and at the same time you’ve accused other comment posters of making baseless accusations.

    1. I believe you meant Obama, Clinton, Biden… The actual “crooked bunch”… You know, the ones that can actually be proven.

    1. Ain’t gonna happen.
      Heard this for years and it’s the same smoke n mirrors show.
      I know you have extreme difficulty accepting things.
      Cry Cry Cry.
      AIN’T HAPPENING
      Just watch n see.
      I’m gonna giggle my way to 2020 and cast my vote.

    2. @Hoss Eehoss YA,
      Daylight Savings Time change is always tough. Especially the fall back….

    1. @BILLY right lmao while you push to take our 2nd Amendment rights and then use the constitution when it fits YOUR narrative. Grow up !!

    1. It’s a false argument that for those not paying attention or who missed that basic college freshman logic class, slides into the brain as truth.

  1. The Manhattan district attorney is
    conducting an investigation into potential criminal wrongdoing by
    trump and his company for making payments to women designed to affect
    the election.  The president’s lawyers don’t point to a single line
    in the Constitution to support their position because there is no
    line that says the president is not subject to criminal  process. In
    fact the supreme court ruled that Nixon was subject to criminal
    process when they voted Unanimously to enforce a criminal subpoena
    issued by a special prosecutor . Nixon resigned because he was
    subject to criminal process. It forced him to turn over evidence that
    condemned him. Presidents ARE absolutely subject to criminal
    process.

    The lawless behavior within the WH is gaining in
    momentum because of virtually zero consequences to date.  Do NOT
    allow this to proceed. No one is above the law. WRITE TO NADLER, SCHIFF, and PELOSI and tell them YOU SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT.

    1. At this point, Trump supporters couldn’t care less about the constitution they welcome Trump’s lies and beg for more, they think foreign interference in US elections is ok as long as it is for Trump. They believe that we should welcome Ukranian help and withhold funding. How unamerican and how disrespectful to America the Trump crowd has become, I am on the side of our constitution stop these unpatriotic anti-American imposters. Long live the Republic and rid our great land of all enemies foreign and domestic

  2. it’s all speculation if Trump will cooperate. He may not. The whistleblower might be denied. Send Murphy to jail and let him think about why he refused to let congress read the complaint.

    1. @Lorric Logging Yes, they are very stupid and steps into one thing after another. Sane people would lay low after such corruption and abuse of power. Not create new laws and presedence, that can be used to go after them. I understand that Biden is desperate ans wants to protect his son, but the rest, why on earth are they doing it? They will be politically dead after this. There comes a day when Hillary does not own the DNC, she is on her last leg healthwise, if she does not get locked up at GITMO, she will croak soon. So theese become unelectable in 2024. A sane person would realize that the fascistgig is over, and run a clean campaign, and not abuse their power. Like Tulsi and Yang is doing. Even democrats will remember the DNCers who got the mics cut, and was shafter from the debates unfairly. And what kind of a district does Swalwell represent? He is like political dead in the tenth degree. If politicians has nine lives like cats, he has lived two lifetimes.

    1. He will break plenty more laws and nothing will come of it because the gop would actually have to hold him accountable. They will NEVER EVER turn on him for any reason. The way to defeat trump at this point, sadly, is by voting BLUE IN 2020!

    2. @Joyce Morison It could happen, unfortunately. Congress, and only Congress has the power of the purse but look at how he circumvented the law and declared a false emergency to get money for his wall, he commandeered money allocated for military schools and other military projects and provisions to instead spend on a bogus wall that every expert says won’t curtail the illegal immigration situation since most enter by planes and overstay their visas.

      Ignoring subpoenas throughout his administration, obstructing an investigation with what some would designate as impunity, encouraging foreign countries to interfere in our elections, pretty much attempted to pressure and extort the Ukraine for salacious dirt against a political enemy’s child, whether true or not, for funding Ukraine was promised if they got rid of their nukes. They did and we promised funding to help defend and support them through much needed funding to fight back against russians who are slaughtering Ukraine soldiers every day, etc., etc., etc., etc……….

      Circumventing the law, exploitation of any actual or perceived loopholes or just plain ignoring laws is what he and his cronies do! This is their modus operandi! That’s why Democrats must assert their very clear Constitutional duties of oversight.

      He doesn’t care about following the rule of law set up by our Constitution, nor laws or norms that usually apply to any presidency.
      If we had a fully functioning Congress, I would have more confidence that he wouldn’t or couldn’t do it without approval. Unfortunately, the Senate has been a hinderance from day one by being fully complicit and has not been a stop gap in this whole attack and tragedy against our beautiful country.

      So we shall see………

    1. They know the $hit is about to hit the fan. This is when your going to start seeing Republicans start pulling away from individual 1 & try to save what’s left of their career’s and legacy’s.

    1. Pelosi was recorded this evening telling another house member that the American people wont agree with us and I just gave him a 2nd term. I agree with Pelosi.

    2. All while hosting world leaders, what an embarrassment for the USA.
      It’s ok, Israel loves you, North Korea loves you, Saudi Arabia loves you, Russia loves you, Ukraine under duress loves you.

    3. lexas the person we need to impeach is Pelosi 👏👏👏! Pelosi is the leader of the Hamas/ Hezbollah Caucus in Congress 😡👎😡👎😡👎!

  3. Well they probably won’t need any of them papers because the Whistleblower is supposed to step forward he’s already made contact with the government

  4. Looking forward to the whistleblower’s testimony and the phone call transcripts (if they’re not doctored). Let’s get to the truth.

    1. Transcripts by definition are “versions” written down.
      How about the actual recordings?
      I heard a Repub Rep say a “summary” of the call would do.
      Like Barr’s “summary”?

    2. @J Austin Every Courtroom in America uses Transcripts…How about all of Obamas conversations with IRAN or China, or Russia?? How about Hilary Clintons emails ?? Could we at least have those? REMEMBER “NO ONE” is above the Law…..😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
