    1. @David Olsen Thanks David…I wasn’t aware of this part of that amendment! Take care & stay well & safe!! 😊

    2. yeah, whomever is in power should try to excise the other party off the planet. Have you guys totally lost your collective minds?

    3. @Truth Hurts news flash moron obama lowered unemployment including black unemployment more in his last three years than your master has in his obama created more jobs in his last three years than your master has in his individual 1 had almost nothing to do with criminal reform but your master did mark black applicants paperwork with a c to make sure they werent considered for his properties and he did call for the central park five to be executed for something they didnt do and refused to apologize when they were released

    4. @Debra Johnson Umm, but they did pass two stimulus bills since the first one. Sadly both of them ended DOA on Mitch McConnel’s desk.
      This third one was not going through till they had support and input from both the Senate and White House. And Trump ended it.

  1. That’s where Hamilton failed in the Federalist Papers, he assumed that Presidents would have integrity and honour. 200 years later…

    1. so let’s start removing them? And how long would you think before we turn into a banana republic:? Is the democrats hatred for the most successful president in US history that bad? What happened to ‘loving and tolerant’?

  2. Should have been on this from January 2017 The man hasn’t been capable of leading or making sane decisions since day one.

    1. He had the support of House and Senate Republicans so what exactly do you think wld have been done?

    2. The country was soaring by every measurable metric before the pandemic hit, you were either asleep the last few years or you don’t work, which is it?

    3. He did a lot of good for America Dems just hated that they tried four years and couldn’t impeach him now they will have four more years of blaming Russia when Trump wins second term

    4. LOL if America were like that you would have no rights. Trump won fair and square and your hatred for him does not make him incompetent duh. We don’t like Clinton, Obama, or Biden too. Will this make them incompetent to rule? LOL

  3. Trump is teetering on the brink of full-on, unbridled madness.
    Nancy is just giving him another friendly, little push towards it.

    1. @Patrick Kingfisher Kennedy Botox has gone to her head. Doesn’t even know what day of the weak it is.

    2. @NOEL MOITRA First known man on North America were Eurasian. We’re brothers from another mother.
      💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭.

    3. It’s the other way around. Pelosi is clearly senile.
      The only one who can invoke the 25th is the V.P. of the United States and I don’t see Pence doing that any time soon. None of the DNC are playing with a full deck. Biden says ANTIFA is an Idea and Nadler says they are a myth, but they demand billions for the destruction that these ideas and myths have caused.

    4. ​@Mark bodman You are so used to his lies and corruptness, that you only believe what he says. No one else is telling the truth. Well, I got news for you – the man is as evil as everyone has said he is. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, it’s still true.

    5. Dear dumb libs..are you guys going to use the excuse of Russia interfering again if Trump wins?
      How about if Biden wins ,can we use china interfering?….lol

    1. well, looks like the left wing indoctrination is blooming. Now it will take armed conflict to settle it and the undisciplined will soon get it from the barrel of the gun.

  4. So…Moscow Mitch claims considering this so close to election is far fetched – another MM double standard. The Senate NEEDS flipping to Democrat control if America is to survive!

    1. If we don’t do a full correction and spend the next two years completing the excision of cancer we might as well stick a fork in it, America is done

    2. @Lars Jones “if we don’t give our government to people who hate our country, our country is done for”

      Only in 2020 can people say this without a shred of self-awareness.

  5. “Anything done this close to an election is absurd” does McConnell mean like installing another unqualified Justice? Absurd like that?

    1. @faye mahed your ad uneducated as is the pal your agreeing w. Do research. The sitting president ALWAYS APPOINTS THE JUSTICE UNLESS HE’S A LAME DUCK PRESIDENT LIKE OBAMA WAS IN 2016. THEN AND ONLY THEN IT’S DELAYED TIL AFTER THE ELECTION.
      a lame duck president is one who is in the last months of his second term. So therefore obama could not nominate the justice. Trump only being in his dust term is not a lame duck president so he appoints the new justice

    2. What’s Amy Coney Barrett have to do with it being this close to an election?
      Trump’s term runs to the end of Jan. 2021. Even RBG said that the President’s term is four years, not three. I’m positive if the roles were reversed, you would fill that seat in a heartbeat, just like you will pack the court if she’s approved. You love to change the rules to cheat like in 2013 when the Dems changed the vote in the Senate to a simple majority. Funny how your cheating always manages to explode in your face and it really looks good on ya.
      Democrats: Always getting what they want,…never wanting what they get.
      Hahahahahahaha!

    3. @Dondi Allen
      Obama nominated in 2016 but he didn’t have the Senate. We the People elected a Republican Senate to block him b/c the American people didn’t want Barry making any more decisions for them.

    4. Diane Owen
      where is that in the Constituion? Oh by the way, tell me the Democrats would not do the same thing under similar circumstances?

    5. @Dondi Allen and your just as delusional and brain-dead as that thing that is trying to call himself the president who is unable to even think correctly and never has been able to and he constantly lied from the time he started and he still lying!!!

    1. @Truth Hurts How many times the senate refused to hold a hearing for the nominee for the SC when there were still many months to go in an election year?

    2. @Mark bodman Apparently Senate also has the choice of not even hold hearing on the candidate whenever it likes. Thus forcing the vacancy in the SC for the country.

    3. Obama wanted to do the same thing, he just didn’t have the Senate. Mitch never said Barry couldn’t nominate somebody, just not to bother.

  6. So according to Mitch McConnell anything done this close to election is absurd, but even after millions of voters have already cast their votes it’s perfectly fine to install a supreme Court Justice…

    1. Trump was elected for a four year term in 2016. Period. He gets picks until the next election.

      Attempting to impeach a president for blatantly frivolous reasons less than a month before the election is nothing short of absolutely pathetic and it shows a total lack of confidence in Biden, which is honestly unsurprising considering the man is dying in real time.

    1. @Pat Moore Just to add my 2 cents. Local disturbances?? Like burn down a federal court building with people inside. Yes the protest and destroying a city is I guess a local disturbance the FEDERAL courts isn’t local disturbance. Its a federal problem especially since the mayors won’t enforce that itsxa problems . Portland mayor joined them at the court house. So……..

    2. –And one, no less, who was nominated by a historically unpopular snake-oil merchant in the twilight of his first and only miscarriage of a term…who will serve for decades longer than the legitimate nominee of a historically popular president acting in good faith during a merited second term…who will be confirmed along party lines by a deeply divided senate acting in a distillation of bad faith…and who will try to fill the enormous shoes of the real Lady Liberty while they continue to resonate.

    3. @James R …polls had her ahead by 3% and she won by 2%… not that far off, buckwheat, even with your hill-billy homeschool math skills…

  7. Sometimes far-fetched ideas do get traction – if the circumstances are congruent. Sometimes little snowballs like this get bigger as they roll downhill.

    1. Shave12 your right the rump does have dementia and needs to be outed as soon as possible!!!
      THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT TO ALL THE GOP AND THE RIGHT-WINGERS!!!
      Couldn’t have said it better myself thank you again!!!
