    1. STOP BEING BRAIN DEAD PUTIN FED DEMON RAT ASK UR SELF WITH U S A DOING SO WELL STRONGER MILITARY BREAKING RECORDS ON STOCK AND JOBS WHY DOES RUSSIA AND YOU AND DEMON RATS HATE IT JUST THINK !!! SO SIMPLE

  1. Oh. Just a little tiny… Republican lie. It’s not like they tried to lie about the size of the crowd at Trumps presidential inauguration.

    1. @DJ Jordan absolutely. The left wants to illegally rid of a duly elected president. Gloves are off on both sides now thanks to the left.

    2. strobed22 Nothing they’ve done is illegal. It sounds like you’re just mad that the Republicans aren’t in total control of Congress anymore. And if these Republicans can break rules they don’t agree with, why can’t people from other countries break immigration rules they don’t agree with?

    3. @DJ Jordan you’re not paying attention if that’s your take. Agree to disagree. I won’t change your mind but times are different now. Good luck.

    4. @DJ Jordan not to waste my time, I’ll hint you. Look up the leftists under criminal investigations about the election meddling. The real traitors are on the left.

    5. @DJ Jordan btw, Sonland testified, under oath before the US Congress, that nobody on this planet told him that Trump did a quid pro quo and yet every other leftist says otherwise. So…who do you believe? Lmao. What a circus the left is.

  2. Is there anyone in the Dump Administration, including family members, who isn’t a criminal, liar, or under investigation?

    1. @Reality Check You are far from the reality. There is no point to write with nuances on this board. You can change no one.

    2. YOU ARE FALLING FOR EXACTLY WHAT PUTIN WANTED STOP BEING BRAIN DEAD PUTIN FED DEMON RAT WAKE JUST THINK WHY DOES RUSSIA AND DEMON RATS HATE HOW THINGS HERE GETTING SO MUCH BETTER THAN 2 TERM OF SHAME OBAMA JUST THINK !!!

  3. The American ppl are watching this and the Republicans keep acting like they’re being cheated. Right in front of the camera they lie. This is a TRUMP CULT….

    1. @David R. Davidson Which witnesses have Republicans called for who aren’t appearing/scheduled to appear to the impeachment hearings? just the whistleblower who is already protected against having their identity being revealed…

    2. @hectorhall82 great question/comments! Happy to answer. They’ve asked for Hunter Biden to testify, Chris Heinz, Alexandria Chaluppa and Joe Biden besides the whistleblowers that I know of. They’ve also asked for Trump’s lawyers Sekulow and Giuliani to be their to be able to participate in the crossexamination, but so far Mr. Schiff and a majority vote of the Intel Committee has denied them that when H. Res 660 says that they can. That much I know for sure, but I am learning more as we roll along here. You?

    3. As someone watching this from the other side of the Atlantic I’m bemused that your Republican party are so happy to prostitute themselves in defence of someone so clearly guilty. You have to wonder if he really could shoot some one in fith avenue and these fawning sycophants would still defend him

    1. Want more government interfering in your life? More regulations? Higher taxes? Open borders? People crapping on your sidewalks? Then by all means vote blue, otherwise vote Trump. Personally I think Trump is clearly the choice versus whatever progressive/communist candidate is put forth. MAGA

    2. tonak1 republicans have poisoned the water in flint and bankrupt kansas. They only care about their donors not americans or america

    3. I dont think voting them out is enough. Look at the similar, cult churches with all those pedos moved around accompanied by all those lies and excuses.. all those poor victims.
      We clearly see how casual conservatives are with pedophilia. Changing societal positions isnt going to save America from RWNJ evils.

    1. THATS ANOTHER COMMIE NEWS NUTS LIE STOP BEING USED FOOLED BY THEM WAKE UP STOP DOING EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIA WANTED

    1. YOU AND UR WORDS ARE MUSIC TO PUTINS EARS WAKE UP STOP BEING BRAIN DEAD PUTIN FED DEMON RAT JUST THINK AMERICA DOING SO MUCH BETTER AFTER 2 TERMS OF SHAME OBAMA WHY DOES RUSSIA AND DEMON RATS HATE THAT ????JUST THINK

    2. What these people are not understanding is that there are republicans and democrats and then there are Trumplicans. A category of their own. Horrible people !

  4. When Trump, or his minion, tells a lie, they are speaking their native tongue. Treason is, of course, their regional accent.

    1. @Carrie Just like no one took Yovanovitch seriously, considering she had no firsthand knowledge of the phone call in question.

    2. Who started this lame post? You or that other person that doesn’t know the definition of “treason”? It appears all the time in these threads. It’s not that clever. They are all traitorous for sure, but constitutionally, treason is “giving aid or comfort to the enemy.”

    3. Prove it! If it is as obvious as the MSM make it out to be, you should have plenty of evidence. But no DEM has, as it’s just MSM garbage. You forget that the law was changed about 15 years ago that stopped Media outlets from publically creating false information. Now it’s considered to be just ‘entertainment’ so they can say and do anything they want. Hence the current state of misrepresentation. So don’t go thinking your getting the facts. That would be like watching Springer and believing that it’s all real!

    1. What was once a respectable party of great grandparents is know a party of traitors! The last good one was McCain. Now it’s very few at all.

    2. I think you’re a couple of conspiracy theories behind. The whole Putin collusion thing turned out to be Obama’s failed attempt to stop Trump from becoming President.

  5. Why is anyone surprised by the Trumpublican lies in the impeachment hearing? These former Republicans are a disgrace for their lies.

    1. @앤더슨프란 , wow you have not been watching the ENTIRE impeachment hearing. She was fired for telling the New President of Ukraine not to listen to President Trump because he would be impeached.
      I would have fired her as well.

    2. @Mike Hall These are multiple accounts of people with bipartisan integrity and high ranking officials giving a response of what they heard and seen from their viewpoint. You can call it whatever you want but just like in any trial, consistent evidence adds across multiple accounts to be more likely true than not. Lies will conflict with others testimony. As if all the pieces to the puzzle fitting perfectly, This is exactly what we have here and why the evidence keeps building against Trump. There’s only one explanation: He’s guilty. No matter if the Trumpublicans want to believe it or not. Facts and evidence ALL support it plain as day. I hate to say it, but those Trumpublicans who are still fighting the facts at this point either are not paying attention or must have some mental issues like Trump himself SERIOUSLY. Because this is a very critical matter for our nation’s future.

    3. @Mike Hunt your response doesn’t reflect your understanding of the process either. Are you buying the Lies and staging of the Republicans? As I already mentioned, These are multiple accounts of people with bipartisan integrity and high ranking officials giving a response of what they heard and seen from their viewpoint. The Democrats are going by the book with a proper investigation. You can call it whatever you want but just like in any trial, consistent evidence adds across multiple accounts to be more likely true than not. Lies will conflict with others testimony. As if all the pieces to the puzzle fitting perfectly, This is exactly what we have here and why the evidence keeps building against Trump. There’s only one explanation: He’s guilty. No matter if the Trumpublicans want to believe it or not. Facts and evidence ALL support it plain as day. I hate to say it, but those Trumpublicans who are still fighting the facts at this point either are not paying attention or must have some mental issues like Trump himself SERIOUSLY. Because this is a very critical matter for our nation’s future. Something needs to be done or else Russia has succeeded in this attack on America and those who succumbed to their brainwashing.

    4. @Kyeol Williams, Russians?? Brainwashing?
      Wow. Read the Mueller Report.
      The truth of the matter is no law has been broken. I studied Law in College. Feelings are not Fact or evidence. Fact is any Ambassador can be removed at any time by the President of the United States. The President can also inquiry about any wrong doing or corruption! Fact is that foreign aid take time to ship that much Cash to foreign countries and was sent without ever getting a reply on Creepy Joe Biden and little creepy joe jr. Whom btw had been Dishonorable Discharge from the Military for Cocaine!!!! There is no whistleblower. Schiff made it up!! Republicans are asking when do we question the main witness?? The only Real Witness! All these other witnesses heard everything 3rd and 4th hand!!
      Fact is all you liberals are still butthurt over Hilary losing the election and are will to make up anything you can to get your way. The funny thing is Republicans own Senate where it dies anyway. Morons should think ahead. 😄😄😄

    1. @Dominus Vobiscum Up to now, Democrat’s lastest version of Impeachment or Bust has been a waste of time, money, confusing and BORING. imho – Sondland will be the only witness with anything more than a hearsay opinion to offer. We shall see.

    2. @esj8341 And now we can see that there were no more “bombshells,” despite the fact that the MSM had decided a priori that these testimonies would be bombshells rather than the duds they actually were. I don’t buy for one second that David Holmes could hear a conversation in a noisy restaurant that wasn’t on speaker phone…

  6. Republicans look so weak and pathetic. This is what happens when you try to defend that which can’t be defended.

    1. please prove what you are accusing or shut the heck up…demon rats the corrupt and liars…yhey mad e this country a garbage by allowing illegals to come …they are murderers by late term abortion…sick people….demorats are of satan

    1. @Mike Hunt Evidence?

      Thought not. You have just borrowed one of Ray Cumfarts “arguments” for his variant of the Christ-stain god. It didn’t work for him, and it doesn’t work for you.

    1. Ryan Prosser LoL….it’s an actual legal clinical term now loon. Just because it isn’t reported on MSNBC doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

    2. @Ryan Prosser Chronic liar Adam Schiff lies again in Taylor/Kent hearing saying twice he doesn’t know the identity of whistle blower (11-13-19)

  7. “A SCIF is the opposite of a restaurant in Kiev” 😆

    I know it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, but the savage (and hilarious) burns just keep coming

  8. Y’all Nicolle Wallace just called Jim Jordan “her” 0:04 “Jim Jordan still hasn’t found her jacket” savage

    1. jerrymgrman
      can either of you 2 star witnesses confirm there was an act that deserves impeachment? anyone? shout it out!
      😂

    2. please prove what you are accusing or shut the heck up…demon rats the corrupt and liars…yhey mad e this country a garbage by allowing illegals to come …they are murderers by late term abortion…sick people….demorats are of satan
