President Donald Trump’s Allies Running Low On Options To Defend His Conduct | Deadline | MSNBC
Now that Trump has moved the Wall to Colorado, does that mean Mexico also has to pay the transportation costs?
Colorado would be dumbfounded to his stupid claim of having a wall. If that were to exist separate from other states, then they will no doubt vote him out of office for isolating them fully.
He hopes a NEW Mexico will pay for the wall.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hhhmmmmm????
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 good question…..
it means that king trump restored the 1820 mexico border 🙂 those us states that were returned to mexico can forget the bully 🙂
So when Trump says he needs Republican’s “get with the program” he means “get into the lying, denying, and exaggeration mode”?
@DragonSheep I only try to inform the uninformed.
@John Nix Are you sharing cubicle space with Hocus Pocus? Shouldn’t you have more backup? American humor is as hard to follow as a dumpling in a boiling pot of borscht, isn’t it?
@rationalguy vulnerable people and ruin their lives
Attack the process when you can’t defend the actions…
@John Nix “Russian if you’re listening, find Hilary’s email.”. And, they were cause that same day, they hacked the DNC. Trump tower meeting he knew about and tried to cover for his son. I could go on and on, but why attempt to obstruct justice 11 times if there is nothing to hide? Why not just stay quiet, cooperate and let facts win the day. Unless the facts make you look guilty.
@John Nix or how about the Stephanopoulos interview where he admitted he would not follow the law when a foreign power offered him dirt. “No one calls the FBI…”. Yet the FBI had gotten multiple reports from other campaigns in the past.
@UC_4mZwuzSJAqZKR9OQ9EuTg see this is whataboutism. You can’t defend the subject at hand so you deflect. You assumed again, in I support what she did. I don’t. I did not vote for her due to how shady she is. But, Bush’s sec of state also used a private server and if you actually did some research, you’d find more than a few were used throughout previous administrations. Dem and Rep. So that’s a moot point, if you’re unwilling to call out all instances of the action and just focus on one side you will always lose the argument. Also, everything after that is conspiracy, I would bet brietbart, one news network are your source, since everything you just spouted is wishful thinking and echo chamber nonsense. Show the proof or drop it. Trump will be impeached, question is, will he be removed by the Senate.
@UC_4mZwuzSJAqZKR9OQ9EuTg also, your Trump doj just cleared Hilary for her server usage. But since that goes against the narrative in your echo chamber you must have missed that.
If there is nothing to hide why try and stop the hearings.
because they trying hide something……
C Butler because there is so much to hide
C Butler EXACTLY!
Laughable Lindsey is a buffoon. I’m so glad that he is involved because his bungling lunacy will only make it worse for Trump.
Just Hit Play Vid …………….. Sounds just like Scarlett O’Hara’s Aunt Pitty-Pat !
Buffoon eating their own vomit,so disgusting
Lindsey is up for re-election in 2020, and he has hitched his wagon to Trump. He’s in deep dog doo-doo.
But they did it to the Dems when they had control of the House. So Miss Linda Graham should roll back cameras when they blocked Dems from seeing any documents two years ago.
They never had any ‘options’ to begin with. This is all just a big publicity stunt for the GOP.
Yes! They are writhing with desperation. The goose is cooked, they cannot uncook it
Yep
I agree, but I have a hard time calling it a publicity stunt because it’s really just business as usual for them. Obstructing justice, circumventing the will of the people, choosing the short term benefit of the party over the long term benefit of the country , etc., is all just another day at the office for them.
For their Dictator leader!!!! Sad for America
Trump’s allies are not running low they are low period
Has he got any allies?
They are getting so low that pretty soon they will be talking from a deep hole in the ground.
Lol very well said
@Braappy McBraapface Gaetz complained about being called a white man.
@Mark Lanzarotta Hopefully in east Cuba.
Matt Gaetz: “Did we do good daddy Donny?”
Matt Gaetz is Eddie Munster, all grown up.
@Tessmage Tessera 😂😂😂
@athena icaria ( Prep H might help donald even more)….Hahahahahahaha!
@Skip Booth Prep H may help Trump in jail in 2020…There I fixed it for ya mickey!
lmao
Well America it’s up to us to show D.C. we’re not interested in another 4 years of Trump or their BS.
K H you tried and failed. The most powerful man in the world is very angry and has lots of ideas.
@bingbonga binga Failed..? LOL… Trump is going to prison. Tell Putin that he’s a dead man.
No 2nd term. Jail Term!
@K H The House can vote to Impeach but then it moves on to the Senate there it will not Pass
The GOPs are whining about close door hearing when they are the one who created that rule during Obama in 2015 by John B. Controlled by GOPs.
@bubba luv “Overall, in the final year of Obama’s administration, people who asked for records last year under the law received censored files or nothing in 77 percent of requests, about the same as the previous year.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-administration-spent-36m-on-records-lawsuits-last-year/
@Wally Davidson Please cite your source. Given that trump hasn’t turned over anything and has attempted to block everything….you seem to be doing Republican math.
@Wally Davidson Wally, you made that up, didn’t you? You rascal! Tell us, please, how anything Obama or anything any other president ever did exonerates mr. trump for his lies, crimes, ignorance, and nefarious activities. About WHAT has mr. trump “more truthful?” A long list of verifiable true stuff he really said would be so cool.
Rethugliklans don’t like the rules when it’s not in their favor. They didn’t think Dems would win the House again.
that attack on the process is a Fascist move matt gates is the face of Trump’s fascist guard!
Add in Nunes 😖
Matt the swamp rat 🤮
The process is a PR campaigne not a legitimate process leading to impeachment.
Lindsey Graham once said impeachment of a president is to restore integrity, honor and honesty.
hahahaha
That was before Greasy Graham got a manilla envelope full of photos in the mail.
Oba, Lindsey flip flops more than a fish on land.
It’s almost like Republicans don’t understand how recorded video works.
@snapdragonfly66 – that’s just what people in a cult are like.
@Full English This is what happens when you have total control of the information you see day in and day out. They are scared to look outside of their echo chamber and see that the reality they wishing for does not match the reality that is. That’s what an echo chamber is, the ability to deny reality, by omission, of all things that tear down their wishful view of reality. And before any of you Repubs claim I have my own echo chamber, I watched live, Judge Napalitano tell Fox and Friends that their own Republican party in 2015 created the rules being used by the current House. No changes where made, even when Fox and Friends tried to still argue the democrats had, the Judge again corrected them. While I don’t agree with Judge politics, but I have a ton of respect him because he’s not afraid to speak truth to power, even when they are in the same republican party.
I actually appreciate old school republican conservatism. But this is just garbage. Republicans have lost all their integrity man. Closed door meeting are protocol and is a non partisan rule.
So, the GOP is mad that the Dems are using GOP rules and processes which were established for Benghazi investigations (GOP led) in 2015, by Trey Goudy, Pompeo, Graham, etc….
Michael B
To add salt to the injury, the Republicans have found nothing on the Benghazi investigation. While for Trump, many of his associates are in jail, and many Republicans are involved with the corruption.
Oh, sit down Lindsey..just stay out of the way..this is just an inquiry..
Why are they not locked up for the security breach?
Because the Sergeant of arms seems to on the side of Trump. Why do they even have a position as such?
course that would bring them extra attention.
Who runs security there..Barney Fife?
Lock them up! Lock them up!
And jaywalking’s a freaking crime
Republicans don’t like their own law but it was perfect 4 years ago and now it’s a scam haha! Wtf
Cheryl Ladd Republicans literally designed the closed room hearing process. Now it’s “soviet”… republicans don’t seem to live in reality.
Never trust a Trumpturd, they lie and cheat.
They didn’t allow Democrats in on anything during the investigation before Dems took the House.
They’re such hypocrites smh
Jim Jordan’s brain is missing, must be with his jacket
Some Ohio wrestler already took care of his brains.
The Dude
Well, h and gowdy do look like zombies who have been dead for quite a while but refuse to stay down…
If a citizens stormed a court room. Those citizens would of been arrested.
@Trump Fan Network 2 I got a simple test, and I already know that you will lie to yourself and everyone in public in your answer to it. Take Repubs out of the accusation and put in Dem’s. If you feel that it would be wrong for Dem’s to storm the Benghazi closed sessions, and not for Repubs, actually doing it, then you’re full of BS and do not care about the Constitution or the rule of law. Btw, the House rules that allow them to have closed sessions was enacted by Repubs in the House with a majority, not minority, for the Benghazi hearings (all 7 of them that found nothing). This is how Partisan politics screws everyone, United we Stand, Divided we fall, and it appears Putin took that to heart and is using it to defeat the USA by dividing us into mindless drones on both sides. “Wars are not just fought with Bullets, the most effective ones are won without a single drop of blood.” – paraphrased Sun Tzu
They should have been Tased, then arrested!
@John De Prendergast and then tased some more for good measure. And then stripped of their security clearances they might have.
Time for all citizens to vote them out! Get on social media to save America!!!! It’s serious !!!😱
Thats the problem get off of social network and attend some”Civic LAW” classes and learn DE’JURE LAW and away from de’facto law.
Lindsey had a friend John McCain and he turned his back on him, Lindsey is a coward
McCain must be rolling over in his grave.
Now he’s turning his back to Trump on all fours and who knows how many more.
John McCain was dying and lindsey still turned his back on him. Tells me all I need to know about his character.
