  1. Rudy Giuliani already attacking the whistleblower, when actually he is one of the greatest threats to the country?! #protectdemocracy

    1. As a foreigner, I will offer a piece of advice. Take it or leave it no harm no foul. If Trump is allowed to continue by election time in 2020 he will have enough power to cancel elections and install himself as a El President of a 3rd rate empire. (The US) you must get enough support to get him out NOW.

    2. Jy Byrd is a trump troll. Mueller, Barr’s buddy, said there was evidence of collusion and obstruction. He also gave a pass to Manafort and junior because they were too stupid to know that you can’t coordinate with a hostile power.

  2. Lock Them Up!!! Lock Them Up!!!

    Seriously…there is nothing left to do, you have given them every chance, opportunity and obligation to follow the law, as you have. There is nothing left but to lock them up before they destroy our Democracy as we know it. If nothing is done then either way they will have won, and they will have truly subverted the law of our great nation!

    1. Bird Man, I’m so frickin’ sick of hypocritical, two-faced Trumpanzees and Reichwing media bleating about how the “deep state” and “libs” are behind all this to “get” Trump. God almighty. Trump demonstrates with his words and actions on an almost daily basis outrages that would have gotten Obama impeached. This whistle-blowing episode is just the latest. Get this…Trump’s lawyers (and obviously Trump himself) are trying to make the case that Trump, his family, his business associates, even his “friends”, cannot be prosecuted for “any” crime, apparently even murder. Could you even “imagine” the white-hot rage from cons if this were Obama or Clinton? They’d be marching on the White House with pitchforks and blowtorches. People have to get out and vote in 2020 and make sure this Orange Monster does not get reelected. No excuses this time. I can’t even fathom what will happen if he does.

  3. Ukraine? Oh yeah, that would probably be Trump trying to coerce Ukraine to give him dirt on Joe Biden and help him win the election.

    1. Jy Byrd bogus? You know how much of the steele dossier is turning out true? You moron, trump is obviously a compromised crook and charlatan, and is making a farce of your beloved constitution!

  4. The USA is dealing with a group of people who will do anything to acheive their ends – morality, law & ethics aren’t in the equation.

    1. Yes they are. It is the socialist democrats, the democrat house and the oh so fake media. Keep this up because it strengthens the resolve of true Americans to vote to remove these anti American idiots from any position of power.

  5. trump and his goons have declared war on the United States of America by trampling over the law and the constitution!

    It is your patriotic duty to vote this tyrant out next year, because his trumpublican party is complicit and will not honor their oath to the constitution to protect the law, the constitution and the nation from this tyrant!

    #trump2prison2021

    1. #MINORITYrepublicanismRUSSIA #2SCJUSTICESofRUSSIA2016 SAID FBI, PLUS 150+ RED JUDGES INSTALLED UNDER PUTIN AIDE REPUBLICANISM & the koch brothers + mercer family altright breitbart & bannonism.

    1. Richard I agree, no one is making a stand against this dictator but the democratic who are trying to full fill the congressional duties, but corrupt AG Barr is obstruction congress for tramp and helping tramp skirt around the laws and the republicans just sit aside all allow tramp to do what ever he thinks of.

      I was under the impression we were a nation of laws, I guess I was transported to this place in 2017 when tramp went to the oval office.
      This certainly is not America, this.is a country under siege of a dictatorship of d.j.Tramp
      Cool AG Barr
      Yet tramp followers really think the democrats are picking on tramp, when it’s tramp who keep breaking laws after law. I am just sick of it all

    2. @jewell charles
      Yes I agree but remember
      Corrupt AG Barr tramps clean up man is between congress and the official complaint, it’s crazy the inspector General disobeyed a law because tramp and Barr told him to

      What? so if the AG tells you it’s ok not notify the democrats theirs is a bomb in the men’s room of the.house democrats, if Barr and tramp say.never mind, this.must.not get out to the public?
      This complaint is that serious,.you know.Tramp has already given information about America satellite positions are, and a hacker pin pointed the exact satellite that took a picture of Iran, that last cocked and load mess tramp had a few months back,
      Yet the republicans do or say nothing,

      America we are under
      siege of a.Dictatorship of tramp.

      March on Washington now
      America we can not let this go, tramp is a thug in a suit sitting in the oval office doing what ever.he wants
      A thug in a suit

    1. I can bet they are already making plans on that happening…How many times has trump said he wants to be pres for life or at least 12,15 + years?

    2. @Sherrie Nale Also, during the 2016 campaign Trump also said that if he lost it would obviously be due to illegal voting or a “rigged” election. This guy is a clear and present danger.

  6. This president is dismantling our country, and yes I believe because of that anyone supporting him is not a true American because they are as corrupt as he is. It is not merely a difference of opinion…Real damage is being done..

  7. Never have seen a innocent person fight so hard to suppress or hinder evidence on so many different investigation that would vindicate him if he is really innocent

    1. Danny Burton

      I agree 100% if tramp is so innocent why won’t he release his tax information, if tramp is so innocent, allow inspector General to released whistleblowers complaint to congress, which is the law

      If A person is innocent they would want all of the information they could find to prove ones nnocence

      As usual corrupt AG Barr is obstructing congress on behalf of tramp,
      Epstein death suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, Barr rushes in fires the prison warding put A new one in, cover up.
      Now tramp has conspired to force the new president of Ukraine to dig up damming information on Biden and his son Hunter,
      Rudy Giuliani is lying as usual to take attention of of tramps crimes.

      Yet his followers think democrats are picking on tramp.

      I say
      If tramp would not wake up everyday dress and go to the oval office, there would be nothing to accuse tramp of
      Unfortunately tramp wakes up.everyday,.dress and goes to the oval office,
      There he as usual break.laws and ethics,.so there is lie after lie, crime after crime.

      Tramp is a thug dressed in a suit, he is a repeats offender,

      therefore his crimes.comes out to the public. We all know if tramps mouth is moving tramp is lying that’s a fact.

    1. @Mukesh Gupta Fifty years ago in protest of the Vietnam war the masses had “Winter Soldier” mock trials where the youth movement put Nixon and the Pentagon on trial for the illegal war. Jane Fonda was in fact involved. Trump Party should be invited to a Mock Trump “Twitter Patriots Trial” where We the People “Try” Trump and Trump Party for all the “crimes they have been committing on our tax dime” since Obama was elected. That is when he lost it and let his hatred of dark humans drive him crazy

    2. @Grace Munich I thought he was a fat, ugly Hippo faced… But flintstone is not bad either. Since the fat hippo is conniving with the WH, the Democrats should subpoena that fat hippo-faced Barr… and if he doesnt comply they should send the Congress’s own sergeant-at-arms to arrest him and put in the Slammer that the Congress has — and then throw away the keys. IT IS NOT TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC… the nation cannot take it anymore of this dictatorship.

    3. @Edna Ewell I do remember… even though I was a teenager then. Yes, it is time for the Democrats — and in fact like you say– it is time for the public to take to the streets and show these hypocritical cowardly, worthless,  spineless, gutless, nutless Castrati party and their cohorts– that we will not take it anymore.

  8. Hey republicans, how are you feeling about your fears of a tyrant president now? (Remember? The swarthy one in the tan suit?)

    1. Ken A lot of is dont even listen. Wolf, wolf, the little boy that always alarmed everyone about a wolf. When there was a wolf no one listened, the wolf ate him. Its pointless to listen, I flip that switch when he appears. Dont need any more dirt in the house.

    1. Kulkua, He appears to be dopey, but he is the most calculating and vicious. He doesnt want to spend the money on climate change so he will let our planet be destroyed for a few bucks he can put in his pocket As we all die. What a shallow human being. Create Caos, so no one knows whats going on. We do not have one traitor in the white house. It appears our republician party are all traitors. The almighty Buck rules here. That appears to be the only thing that matters to anyone. Honor, dignity, decency, truth, has all gone out the window. Trump always uses the words “What a disgrace.” He and our government have certainly become a disgrace. He wants to destroy everything for us. He puts quick money b4 everthing. It couldnt be fear if Trump that has caused this loyalty to him.

  9. *GodDam it get to it right now it’s enough for impeachment, he is doing 2016 to Joe Biden telling Ukraine to get dirt on Biden*

  10. The founders never considered the likes of Donald Trump. He is below the lowest form of criminality they could plan for.
