Rpt: Top U.S. Diplomat In Ukraine Texted It Would Be "Crazy" To Withhold Aid | The Last Word | MSNBC
Those were perfect texts. They were beautiful texts. Mostly congratulatory 🙄
@Biggus Dickus I LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR.🙏👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Dear Republican Senator x____x. Enabling the narcissist in chief will ensure that
you are greatly increasing your odds that you will need to get a new line of work. Does that help you understand the question: Where is that line?! =x= 0v0
They know it.
Crazy, and exactly what Humpty Trumpty does when he puts himself above Country and everything else, like every single day in the Oval.
Previous month I was able to gather my first five figure check ever!!! I’ve been working for this provider over the internet for 24 months now and I never been happier… They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing about that is the fact that I am not really that tech-savvy, they just required basic knowledge about internet and simple typing skill…Awesome thing about this job is the more free time I got for my kids. I am able to commit quality time with my relatives and buddies and take care of my children and also going on family vacation together with them very routinely. Don’t miss this opportunity and try to act quick. Here is what I do *explore486.com*
@Helen G. Pitts
Um…no.
You just cant justify Trumps actions and words. Any republican who tries to justify him is part of Trumps scummy plan.
@Jolanda Schnitzler If they stand up against him, now, I believe they still have a future in politics. Remaining silent will be more harming.
MoonaticDestiny well said. I agree.
It might be too late for many republican defenders. They have already characterized themselves as fools.
Shoplifters will, in fact, go back into the same store if they get away with their initial theft. Lol
It’s not when they get away that they were talking about in the video. It’s when you get caught but nothing happens (i.e., they dodged a bullet). Imagine if this impeachment process ends with ‘nothing’ happening (like the Muller report) what would Trump do then?!
Yes Yes lol
Just make people believe shoplifting is okay and they win. America looses but they are not patriots, they’re crooks.
Shoplifters are crooks? Corporate America, Central Banks, Wall Street, Insurance companies, the government, Oligarchs, and on and on. Boost on!
Dan Ozomatli I was a Loss Prevention Agent for a few years, and what you say is true! If they get away with it once, they always return…I was able to complete a lot of cases knowing this fact. A few that got away with it initally, at the end were ultimately caught.
You guys should head over to the Fox News comments. They… could use some clarity over there…
They could use a lot of things.
Trump is just a religion to the fox audience. Or another religion, and just as based on faith and anti- logic and reason as their other fairy-tale stories they use to justify their stupidity and inhumanity.
They are in a state of full denial. You ask them how they feel about windmill noise cancer, and they just disappear…
IMPEACH, REMOVE, DESTROY TRUMP >—💀—>
Volker decided to get out of the way of this $#!+show.
When Trump’s criminal trial happens, I think the prosecuting attorney should be…. Donald Trump. A conviction would be guaranteed.
Trial for exposing Biden’s bribe taking crimes? It’s illegal to expose Biden’s crimes?
It’s sad to see when anyone loses their sanity, it’s worse yet when you see a flock of greedy politicians benefiting off of it as your once respected country spirals into the oblivion of endless corruption. We need a parade of Republicans in their shiny brand spanking new orange jumpsuits. Justice demands it. Trump is crazy, that is not necessarily a crime, especially if you are an under-educated, undisciplined, arrogant, story making heir who has been pampered throughout his life, with no reason to grow up. The Republicans on the other hand, have all been guilty of greed, and lacking the honor to uphold their oath of office. Trump was never capable, and the current political blood bath proves it. Republicans failed to do what was necessary, and now when the situation is blatantly obvious they are denying reality, just like there mentor has from before he took office.
Johnny Davisson is your country accepting immigrants? If we have education & pay for our own medical care without any help from your government of course since that’s the trump requirement for immigrants who want to come to the United States. Can you please post your country? Mass exodus from the USA soon!
Johnny Davisson I agree with your comment by the way. Most of us are embarrassed here
@Johnny Davisson STATEMENT OF WISE WORDS.🙏👍
Republicans choose their party over their country. Arlington graves are filled with Americans, not Democrats or Republicans. Go to the gravesites and apologize to the dead. Republicans are spitting on you and on our flag, on our laws and our constitution.
@Ellen Kortman Political propaganda Bots and AstroTurfs can be funny and most cunning these days not just only in their avatar name choices.
Just as their creators and billionaire sponsors who run the Art Of Deception. Deceiving their own dumb religious fascistic peasant-minds, that is thou

Susie, your opinion is very important and I understand exactly your comment. Not all Republicans are spitting on the things we both hold precious. I believe that some White House Republicans are 100% responsible for the whistleblower complaint, and have chosen to support the US Constitution instead of the criminals in the White House. Only White House Republicans, that Trump works with closely and knows, could have been able to file the complaint. We may never know exactly the people that work in the White House that has exposed the crimes against our Constitution and our country, but they should not be judged along side of the wrongdoers… Many Republicans have already oppose the President and his un Constitutional actions. I have chosen years ago not to support Trump because of his low IQ, weak character and his many problems that appear to arise from learning disabilities and lack of social development……Lets just put those political parties aside to be only one nation, Susie.
@Bill Christian
The GOP is KKK in red caps now. Ignorant rural redstate racists need education and mental healthcare not guns and walls
Very well said Susie.
Start jailing the MFs.
Sargent of Arms will need a big order of new hand cuffs
Might be too weak but I’m hopeful because it must be done.
straight gangster behavior from trump and his criminal ‘posse’. great interview everyone.
That 100%.
if Pompeo is stopping people giving evidence isn’t that the obstruction of justice & therefore a crime?
john e Lawler Yes it is.
Pray for his heart attack, he is so obese.
@Lana Kahl thanks, I thought so
Yes, clearly, Yes !
@Lana Kahl Sure is. Pompeo will answer for his misdeeds.
He can’t even use the “I’m new at this” defense. With how narrowly he got out of being impeached over the Muller report he has to know it is illegal to accept or ask for support from a foreign government with a personal political campaign. End this farce and just get rid of him.
He never should have been able to say he was new to this in the first place. Everything he has accused anyone else of doing, he has been caught doing. Like Ivanka pretending she didn’t know that she can not use a personal email for official white House business
As Vlad Putin would say: “Let’s all have fun at the expense of the American people.”
We here in Europe have to deal with Putin
@Oral Ogarro
The arsehole caused flight MH17 to be shot down full of innocent people and children
Australia
@MVVpro PUTINS PLAN, DIVIDE THE USA WITH HIS AGENT COMRADE TRUMPSKI AND THE SAME TO THE UK THROUGH THE 1916 REFERENDUM. TO BREAK UP THE EEC.!!!!
TRUMP – Treasonous Rat Under Master Putin
good one
Yes!
“governs by conspiracy theory”.
And this is the Guy who Said Colin Kapernick was the one who was “Unpatriotic”… WTF is patriotism if you don’t believe in the constitution… 🤦🏾♂️
“as he was telling these crimes into the microphone” – lol
