    1. @Ash Roskell COuld not agree more – the whole world should be concerned. If he gets re-elected then Amrican democracy falls and will be irrecoverable – terrible new for the West and for human rights, justice, peace and much more

    2. Maddow is one of my top journalistic idols; history will hail her as a hero of the Trump era. She has provided the historical context crucial to understanding what is happening now, as well as what’s at stake. She has inspired civil action from her viewers, who otherwise may have sat on the sidelines. Because of Maddow, I got involved with MoveOn.Org early on.

    1. If this mass exodus continues,
      the WH will be staffed and run
      by dayworkers picked up
      every morning at a
      Home Depot parking lot.
      Guys who clean up after
      parades issuing
      press releases.

    2. The tRumptanic is beginning to take on water & the rats are getting panicked & starting to flee & bail this fast sinking ship of state.

    3. Ash Roskell
      yes, it would be interesting to see the courts stating that it own devices (power) is illegal and unenforceable, that the government is above the law. With enough blackmailing and payoff, it can happen.

  1. Trump never considered that people would actually put country first and testify against him rather than like certain elected official cling to their jobs in silence.

    1. Mind Freshener look it’s Mindy the tool with more of her daily delusions. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah. That all it sounds like little Mindy

    2. Trump thinks he IS the country. Listen to what he says. He talks as if any action against him is against the country and he believes that he can do whatever he wants. He thinks he is a king with unlimited power.

    1. @Maedora Smith Maybe read properly before you attack. I’m not for trump at all.

      I ws asking ‘ Rockstarr Seven’, who said..
      “Trumps innocent, there is no proof just more fabricated lies”
      So i was asking for proof of these fabraciated lies

    2. @Maedora Smith Again… @Maedora Smith Maybe read properly before you attack. I’m not for trump at all.

      I ws asking ‘ Rockstarr Seven’, who said..
      “Trumps innocent, there is no proof just more fabricated lies”
      So i was asking for proof of these fabraciated lies

    1. @xjaskix I didn’t care for her and I definitely don’t care for Trump. This time around will be different.

  2. Knowing there are 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 people in our government with honor and ethics, is some of the best news I’ve heard in 3 years!

    Bravo to men and women in our Foreign Services! ((Kick that sleazeball Trump’s butt, with the truth!))

    1. @xjaskix So deluded. This trickle of damning information will now come at the WHITE HOUSE like an avalanche. No amount of stomping your feet and cat calling will change it. The country will be fully informed. Half of the country already choose impeachment, by the end of November it will be 70 per cent.

      As for Barr and Durham, history will catch up with them. If Durham is a good man, that will be made obvious soon, but if he is like Barr… Let’s just say, it is a long road down, it’s ugly and at the end is total destruction. Let’s agree to hope that Durham is a “good man.”

    2. @Security Administration <--- HAHAHAHAHA! Q has taken you idiots for a ride! Qanon is a hoax/troll invented by teenaged wannabe hackers at 8chan and 4chan. They love how gullible you guys have been, swallowing one lie, then, when it doesn't happen, swallowing the next one. I would laugh along with them if this weren't such a serious matter.

    3. @xjaskix Barr is likely to lose his law license just for what he has already done. Durham has been smart in not actually doing anything since he doesn’t want to go down with the trumptanic. He’s just biding his time. Qanon has rotted your brain. It is all a hoax/troll whipped up by kids. Enjoy the impeachment.

    4. @Security Administration “Criminals always fight when theyre exposed.” So the White House fighting Congress proves he’s a criminal? Thanks for that.

    1. Apparently they (those in this administration) DID and HAVE wanted to work for the CROOK!!!!! Some are jumping ship. NOW. That doesn’t qualify them as being honorable or brave or charactered.

      There are MANY people out there who ARE crooked. But the more successful crooks aren’t as outright STUPID as DJ DUMP!!!

    2. @Nathaniel Lollis
      One thing to know about these career people – they spend a lot of their lives serving under Presidents they may not like – but if they all leave when that happens, the institutions of state break down, and they know it. This makes them reluctant to leave. The political appointees are a different animal.

  3. When people put country over cult, information flows, the truth comes out and traitors get exposed. We’re starting to see who stands with America and who stands with the enemy, who clearly is Trump.

    1. JUST ME : Keep your eyes on that Court Case, America. If the Judge says people MUST obey subpoenas and TESTIFY, that applies to ALL WITNESSES. It will open the floodgates, OR seal the dam. You can BET Donny’s lawyers know this ✌️👍

    2. The tRumptanic is becoming panicked & the rats are bailing before this ship of state hits an iceberg & sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

    1. @Douglas King – Then let us toss them some ‘swim rings’…
      Filled with lead…and ‘Made in China’. 😏

  4. Gulianii has no buisness meddlinvg in anything but lawyer stuff. I personally wouldn’t let Rudy handle a parking ticket.

    1. Since Barr, Giuliani *and* Pompeo *have now ALL been ‘namechecked’ in transcripts and calls* … *WHY* hasn’t the “American Bar Association” *opened an investigation* into this?!?
      Have the “ABA” *no regard* whatsoever for *the reputation of their profession* …? 🤨

    1. They are people who didn’t want to leave their post and be replaced by someone who was obedient to Trump and incompetent.

      They deserve respect.

  5. Wait till the stuff on Russia comes out. It’s going to make everyone forget about the Ukrainian part of this story.

    1. @Judy Bargenquast

      No I don’t. There’s a lot more coming down that has nothing to do with the Ukrainian Scandal or The Mueller Report except for Trump.😄

    2. And over there at fox news the Twumpturds are being fed news that the whistleblower was made up. Bunch of fools.

    1. Dearly Diane there is overwhelming evidence Trump engaged with a foreign country to subvert our national security and the integrity of our electoral process. Trump put his personal interests in domestic election and used his office influence over his duty of loyalty and care to American national interests. It’s obvious. Trump’s malfeasance was bound to catch up with him. What’s funny is this is a self fail. He never needed to do all this.

  6. More than any other administration in US history, Trump’s is the one where telling the truth puts your job in jeopardy

    1. It’s a dominos effect, you lie so much you forget who you lied to or what you lied about. Also just because you say the truth doesn’t make it any more innocent depending on the status.

    2. @Mary Elizabeth We all make typos. BTW did you know you can edit your comment by clicking on those 3 little dots to the right of your comment and fix your typos?

    3. trump supporters say” those mean, mean dems. why do they bully us so and force us out of our respected positions?” spin spin all you want. the only fool bigger than trump is the person who worships him.

  7. All those people that left and are leaving, they know they can sleeps well at night. You can’t live your life with your conscience hunkering down your soul. It’s still sad many still willing to defend Trump’s lies and corruptions.

    1. Surrounded by a moat filled with snakes and alligators. How can you forget the most important asset? 😀

    2. @Danielle Adair
      That’s because Trump thinks “New Mexicans” are people who just crossed the border! He has to keep them from getting into Colorado!
      *_”My staff tells me that there are 2.1 million NEW Mexicans right on Colorado’s southern border! If we don’t stop them, it will be an invasion like we’ve never seen!”_*

  8. Some how, some way we have to gaurd the office of the president to prevent anyone like trump from even cleaning the restroom at the white house.
