  1. Didn’t we already know this. I mean Mick said so on live tv. If republicans say well Ukraine eventually got the money therefore no one was hurt. Then any person in jail for attempted murder or attempted robbery should be able to get out of jail because no one was hurt. Right?

    1. It induces theta. A state of hypnosis. Makes the viewer more open to suggestion, like a music video. Children 2-6 years old spend much of their time in theta and have hard time distinguishing the constructs from scratch (imagination) and the constructs that are reproduced from their environment. This is why they see imaginary friends. First person to prove any of the above incorrect receives 1 libracoin.

    2. News have always had some kind of music. Tho this is more of a theatrical presentation as to make you feel some type of way. But this is a recap for YouTube

    1. *It always plays, when pictures of Connie Trump or the Ruskie GOP are shown….it’s their ‘theme’ music.*
      .

    1. My neighborhood will be real peaceful with all the like minded individuals protecting it. Feel sorry for the morons in dem cities.

    2. @Mir Cham The DEMS, will have support from VETS who are mostly CONSERVATIVES, when it comes to putting COUNTRY over PARTY. Don’t assume it’s just going to be “dems”.

      You will be sorely mistaken…

  2. Boy MAGATURDS are afraid they’re spending all their time on liberal and progressive comment sections. Spreading crazy😂

    1. Biasly Unbiased so your manbunned soyboy butt got hurt when your savior hrc lost & you’re still melting in your own tears?
      Yup, thought so.
      Aren’t you tired of living in a failed big city run by democrats for 30 years (& failing for 29 as those dems ‘representing you’ get RICH?
      Oh, I guess not.
      oh, well…
      Thanks for TRUMP 2020 you are helping way way more than you could Ever know.
      KAG.
      Sorry for the 5 more years of TDS you will have to endure.
      Stay hydrated!

    1. NDFOOTBALL 😂 LOL What? “Greatest Econ” LOL 😂You know we are in rump made manufacturing recession. Lol. You know in a good econ rump dumped trillions of tax dollars into the pockets of the rich, artificially pumping the markets. The 14% tax cut given to very profitable multinational corporations was him robbing you will laughing at you.

    2. NDFOOTBALL In a good economy rump gave trillions of tax dollars to very profitable multinational corporations skyrocketing the federal deficit. Deficit expected to go over 1.1 trillion this year.

    3. NDFOOTBALL Rump is a crook robbing you and laughing while he is shoving your tax money into his stock market get away bag as fast as he can.

    4. NDFOOTBALL Bush economy 2.0….. forgot how bush’s 10% cut for wealthy corporations turned out did we? Amazing how a conman can make you believe in the same con over and over again. Full recession within 8 months. But you should believe your cult leader and ignore reality and shove all your money into rump’s pockets, I mean tax dollar stuffed markets. Lol. Fool.

    1. @corrine joy Russia Trolls? I love it. Its ironic that Russian trolls want open hearings and due process while the alleged American Patriots want closed doors and secret testimony.

  3. Illegal as usual with Trump.

    … That aid was already approved by congress when he decided to extort Ukraine by witholding it from them.

    That is NOT legal, in any way.

    1. @Timothy Johnson Save the smoke? That’s coming from smoldering ashed that used to be the called Democratic / Fascist Party.

  4. Ukrain was taken over by Russia fifteen years ago. Most of US aid ends up in Russia. Politicians planned it this way to get kick backs.

    1. Josh Gates hey, are you the explorer dude on TV?
      I need to work for you.
      Oh, I digress, Follow The Money!
      &
      TRUMP 2020

  5. The pentagon should of “froze” or even canceled using all military funds towards an non effective wall and put them back towards schools.

    1. Jordan free school for all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS flooding in.
      Free health care.
      Free housing.
      Free breakfasts
      Free lunch
      What about our own people especially the countless homeless in LA & SF.
      Oh, yea, forget them & our Veterans…they don’t count.
      ok, we will send all illegals to your front door Jordan.
      You’re gonna love it!

    1. Andrew Gocken
      ‘I can’t believe those polls were wrong again’ said no TRUMP supporter ever!
