Hey, Chris here — what is your biggest question about the impeachment proceedings so far?
@Sarah SOkal you might enjoy this It’s the impeachment that never ends it goes on and on my friends some people started saying it not knowing what it was and they will keep saying it forever just because. It’s the impeachment that never ends………….
whens this deepfriedstate insanity gonna stop? the Dems the Bush Era Repubs each the same the SWAMP!
For how much longer should I expect to be keeping up with impeachment proceedings?
@Luke Stoltzfoos 5 more years
Chris your delusional.
Conservatives have lost ALL credibility with me – all of them! I once believed that I merely had different political ideals than conservatives. I now see conservatives as either ignorant or fascist – with virtually nothing in between. The conservative voters seem to be completely ignorant of, well, everything. And, the conservative politicians seem to ALL be corporate stooges who are intent on destroying our Democratic Republic at all costs! I have nothing but contempt for ALL of them!
Richard Owens you’re a very, very hateable person you know that? If you honestly think that conservatives are the only ignorant “fascists” in this country, then clearly leftists and Democrats haven’t been screaming loud enough for your deaf ears to pick up:

@Richard Owens why won’t you Libtards wake up to the fact no human has been attacked by the media like this in history?
And your just a bunch of pro establishment morons who are blind to everything around you.
Sweet, civil war now. I hate you too. Let’s fight already.
@cj p No one else in history has ever deserved to be attacked like this – before Trump! Yes, he’s THAT bad! It’s a shame that you’re too stupid to notice!
Someone please give Trump a sword ( maybe a nice gold one ) so he can do the honorable thing and fall on it like a disgraced Roman emperor.
He seems pretty popular, no?
@van03de And the penalty for treason is death.
@John Burnside Make love not hate.
@van03de Tell that to tRump and his tRumplodytes.
Oh, it’s dead
@Lee Thats libertarianism dude!
No, but Leftism will be dead after the coming civil war. No mercy to those who aided and abetted the enemy. The bankers, the globalists, the media, Hollywood, academia. The Right will win.
@Alberto Garcia they’re not much different.
@RedBadge 11 not according to the info from the NRA’s own website. It appears there are more libtards with weapons training that reds. Besides the right wingers like to shoot into crowds of unarmed civilians going about their daily living whereas the libtard uses precision and acting alone to destroy fascism.
T’was ever thus,idiot. Drink another 40,you stupid skid cricket.
@Lee lee,the truth is the entire world is becoming more liberal..it’s been happening since long before you great grand dad started sampling his own gene pool…by butt fucking your dada…
Republicans died 3 years ago, what the hell are you talking about. No honor, no patriotism, no vote. Ruski trolls will outnumber Trumpettes soon.
Your an idiot
Get over it Hillary lost
I do not think Republicans are dead but a majority of them have shifted thanks to the bandwagon effect of Trump and his appeal to voters. The ones that are left either have their seats threatened by their constituents or are strong enough that they can still run republicans but not fear they will be primaried. Mitt Romney is pretty solid despite being a bit of a critic to Trump and Lisa Murkowski is relatively safe since Alaska encourages independent minds (can’t say Susan Collins is safe though).
Still it is a bit said that the ideology of the Republican party has shifted so much that they seem like a more radical form of the Democratic Party which is kind of fitting since Donald Trump was a former Democrat.
When the civil war comes the real patriotic right will win. Keep talking about Russia boomer. Worst generation in US history.
If you think this has a happy ending you haven’t been paying attention.
@STOP ABORTING BABIES START ABORTING LIBERALS 100% chance of prison post presidency.
As long as we re-elect Trump in 2020, that’s happy enough for me.
@88Gibson LesPaul You’re kidding! It’s all been well documented long before 2015.
After the Trump-Sondland “big stuff” call? Dead. Who does not want to get rid of Trump now is brain dead.
@Eli Dicken We are a lot smarter then you pedophiles.
@Jesse Harris nope no proof of bribery, non. what so ever! you dems have slipped on another one of your dildos and pumped your head you idiots are living in a fantasy world again and its costing the tax payer more money. money! we could be using to build the roads, bridges, and Maybe even a tiny little wall!
@soylentdean TOTALLY WRONG: 1. Biden dealt with the prosecutor in Ukraine on behalf of not only the US but Europe and the IMF. 2. That prosecutor was soft on corruption, so to get rid of him actually increased the danger for Hunter Biden if he had been involved in corruption! Read this if you dare: https://www.factcheck.org/2019/09/trump-twists-facts-on-biden-and-ukraine/ GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
Coma? More like brain-dead lifelong coma. Republicans will forever tainted by trump.
Eric King surrrrreee
🤤
@Cudaman And that couldn’t have anything to do with putting out inferior products such as the stretch 737?
wrong
The only ‘TAINT’ in this, cacophony is the dementoCRATS and their FAILING CABAL of kurus….
sounds like Monty Python: it’s not dead, it’s sleeping…
@Dog Fart Pining…but I know what you mean. It’s just resting after a long squawk?
Are you dead or are you sleeping? God I sure hope you are dead. – Modest Mouse
It’s STUNNED!!!!
It is pushing up the daisies, it is NO MORE, it has fallen off it’s PERCH, it is a LATE political party.
Yeah it slept its way right back into the white house and you idiots can’t even get them out lmao who’s asleep?
I prefer to read,
Really pisses me off when
im trying to read the news and they try to make me watch a video.
Yes it is one of the most grating by products of modern media content delivery. We could drop an entire newspaper’s worth of text on you..but no, watch this 150 second clip of 2-3 talking heads instead. I often wonder too with CNN in particular, who is deciding whether the post will be just the black background and one sentence essentially stating watch our video..as opposed to other posts where the article is most times a transcript of the video or better yet prose that is more detailed than the video transcript.
I knew I didn’t like her show she’s conservative.
She did seem a bit _off_
It doesn’t get much more conservative than in a coma.
I’d love to hear more about these core conservative “values” that she is so proud of. 😂
@Kris no, they didn’t. But because you also haven’t had an anatomy/phys class you are also clueless as to what the legislation means. Jfc, you people are so damn ignorant. #DunningKruegereffect

NOT men wearing dresses , NOT demanding to violate womens private dressing/bathrooms to satisfy your pervert mind . NOT killing seth rich because he outed killery cheating . Not covering up epstiens pedophilia , not mudering epstien once he is arrested for pedophilia to protect the rest of the child molesters . NOT passing laws in new york to abort full term unborn children and NOT cheering you do . Then tryjng to pass a law in Virginia to let babies die on a table if the abortion was not successful you sick sorry excuse for a humen
Liberal
@Delphic1 bs the democrates have not changed , the are the kkk always have been and history shows it all . The reason for attacking statues to hid your wicked past ,projecting deceitful pig.
@Alisa LaVine ahole in newyork the passed a law to allow a baby to be killed the dsy it is to be born.
Thats full term stupid . And its killing children .
@Alisa LaVine wait ,whats this ? Facts the new york law nasty b. Tch The “fundamental” right to abortion is enshrined in the New York Constitution. “Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry the pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to have an abortion, pursuant to this article,” the law states.
– The law allows non-physicians to perform abortions. “A health care practitioner licensed, certified, or authorized under title eight of the education law, acting in his or her lawful scope of practice, may perform an abortion,” the law states.
– The law allows abortion through the third trimester, including up to birth. “Third-trimester abortion will be allowed under the new law when a preborn child is diagnosed with a condition that will cause him or her to die at or shortly after birth,” Live Action reported.
– The law removes protections for babies who survive an abortion procedure. “The new law removes protections for babies born alive after an abortion — meaning they could be left to die after birth — by rescinding a portion of New York’s public health law,” Live Action reported. Late-term abortions, until now, were illegal in the state of New York.
– The law prevents pregnant women whose babies are killed in an attack on the mother from seeking justice and could result in infanticide by repealing the requirement for a second physician to be on hand in case an attempted abortion past 20 weeks yields a live infant.
– The law states that an unborn child cannot be a victim of homicide if he dies while in the womb following an attack on the mother. “‘Person,’ when referring to the victim of a homicide, means a human being who has been born and is alive,” the law states.
Liberals are sick, liberals are demented ,liberals will pay dearly for eternity . ” it is better that you tie a mill stone around your neck and cast yourself into the ocean ,than to harm one of these little ones ” jesus .
If republicans were so easily moved from their “core values” they never had any.
@Lee 150 years ago. Nowadays, Republicans defend Confederate monuments and fly Confederate flags on their pickup trucks…
@jboog45 Republicans aren’t defending slavery. Hell, Democrats want to get rid of freedom of speech
@Bugsea cheat ? Once again delusional liberal projecting and ignoring in your face facts.
Democrats have been documented ,using dead people to vote ,demanding to NOT have any voter id and having illegals vote . And have got caught filling out STACKS of voting ballets as in broward county fl . Then thier are the gorge soros billionare electronicly rigged voting machines . All the reason the shock when your murdering witch lost ,they thought they cheated to a sure win . Then when asked after the election to show the records. It was a big WHAT!? AGH AGH AGH BUT BUT BUT . Who killed seth rich after he outed killery rigging the primary ? Right after the emails saying to make a example of the leaker? Who covered up epstiens molesting story ? And who shut off the cameras had all the guards “fall asleep” so he too could be killed to protect your pedohile heros?
You liberals are pathetic degenerates .

She’s in the first of the five stages of grief: Denial.
Benjamin Buckley 🤣🤣🤣 facts
She’s a mess
NEED TO KNOW..
EXCEPT WHEN YOU LIE .
IT’S JUST A WHOLE BUNCH OF NOTHING.
Steve Dickman if you think the impeachment is a bunch of nothing you’ve been conned.
Who would like to hear from Senator McCain now. I for one would.
I kind of miss him.
Republicans have been corrupt and evil since Nixon’s Southern Strategy.
that was lee Atwater and prager u said that it never happened. I was there and I saw it.
@The SmorgMan true, but the dems throw us a bone (sometimes with a little meat on it). the repubs just bone us.
Democrats are subhuman leftists.
Dems have been mad since Lincoln freed the slaves………
SE never explains what she likes about Republicans.
Its gonna take many years, hopefully not in my lifetime, for conservatives to be relevant again. The lies are too thick. 3 generations of garbage from the right has given us Trump.
