    1. Frank Hey you do what you feel you have to with your democratic leaders but Republicans feel as though a vote and support are quite enough. Just one more of the many differences between the parties. Thanks for the insight on your thought process though punkin’, (I think lol).

    2. Steve Preston but hopefully he will go with an impeachment…..something Obama didn’t have of course….🤪🤪🤪

  1. Trump destroys everything he touches. He takes what he needs personally and then burns everything and everyone else to the ground. He is a parasite.

    1. @Claudia Nuss Schulte may be Schiff can take it back to the basement in Congress partisan and start the rico law against Trump and family and find some more witnesses with no facts but hear say assumptions presumptions and what they think than you marxist dictator morons wonder why your losing constantly and Trump goes up in the polls and our democracy and Republic prevailing

    2. @KZ um remember when cadet bonespurs said that impeachment was unconstitutional
      That was funny
      Btw whistleblower laws state if anyone tries to unmask them It is illegal
      So you like lawbreakers,
      Good going pedophile

    3. He destroyed Biden, even before the primaries. I take that back, actually, Biden’s own greed and corruption is what destroyed Biden…SMH.

    1. Ralf Häggström did you really just threaten someone in public on media that is recorded, literally forever? Brilliant.

    1. Kathy Franklund It’s not Trump you have to worry about. It’s Trump nation that can ruin you’re whole day.

    2. he apparently does not know he has been indicted by southern district of new York for breaking the rico law muller did this and more are coming the sealed indictments are for his children and himself prison is wating

    1. Diane Hooper The only advice I can give you is to vote for who you think would be better. I’m voting for Trump. I like what he’s doing for America and I like how is has punched the left in the gut.

    2. Redfestiva bo you have been punched in the gut to. You are just blind. Don’t worry you will feel it. Trump has punched all Americans in the gut. Trump is a shame on this country.

    3. THE REPUBLICANS ARE COMPLICIT IN THIS.THEY KNEW BEFORE THIS MAN WAS INSTALLED IN THE WHITEHOUSE THIS MAN WAS NOT FIT TO BE IN THIS POSITION.THE VERY FACT THAT HE INTERFERED WITH THE NAVY DISPLINARY ACTION WITH A NAVY SEAL THAT. BROKE THE RULES OF WAR.THE FACT IS ITS NOT GOING TO GO WELL WHEN ENEMIES OF OURS DO THE SAME THINGS TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY.WE WILL REAP WHAT WE SOW.

    4. Redfestiva bo YOUR DELUOSIONAL ASP NEEDS THERAPY YOU AINT GOING TO LIKE IT WHEN THEY ARE TAKING PICTURES WITH YOUR DEAD SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

    1. It’s not respect in any case. It’s blind, cult like adulation by some and fear of the mob boss by others.
      You can never be respected if you never show any

    1. Alyce Smith Im not Putin but if it makes you feel better Brett Kavenaugh pinched my butt 40 yrs ago but I don’t remember where it was.

    1. Chris Anderson lol if a cowardly BONESPUR toting good for nothing did shoot himself ,how is that anyone’s responsibility ? Duh

    2. @Chris Anderson who cares what those Losers and liars think.i remember when Obama was. PRESIDENT.. those losers were letting all kinds of threats agsint him and family go Unchecked. NEVER UTTERED ONE WORD of. Rebuke..so i say all is Fair in WAR…. besides. LOSER TRUMP would shoot himself
      .so in fact he would be the VIOLENT one….we would just stand there..also iam certian someone would call.911
      Sooner or later 😁

  2. Well if Americans don’t care that Trump’s leadership is immoral, corrupt and criminal than we can all kiss the free world goodbye .

    1. @KZ
      Bollocks, the US is in its current state because it’s greedy and corrupt, not because of “Marxism”, don’t talk bollocks.
      The US is a greedy capitalist swamp that was never “great”. It was founded on land theft and genocide, it was built on the backs of 240 years of slavery followed by Jim Crow. The founders and the framers had no thought for women or colored people, only white, land owning Christian males.
      It remains the only democratic country in the world where the person with the least votes wins.
      America is divided, the inequality is staggering, the lies are constant, and the ignorance profound.
      Cheers

    2. @KZ Actually this is where you’re wrong.
      Democrats are not alone in this. A lot of conservatives on TV and in public life agrees that Trump was wrong where the GOP looked the other way. That’s what you hear the right wing media, democrats this, democrats there, even though you see a load of republicans who worked for Bush or some who are still republicans that side against Trump time and time again because decency still matters to them.
      The “lying” you’re talking about is nothing less than a partisan characterization that nobody sees unless you’re in Trump’s cult now.
      I’m not talking about the political calculations and exaggerations that both sides are guilty of.
      But uninformed people still claims things about the Russia investigation that aren’t close to be true if you read the Muller report.
      And the exact same thing now happens with the impeachment process.
      I, and millions of Americans would prefer to defeat him at the ballot box.
      But at some point, you can’t let someone abusing his power over and over again get away with illegal or abusive behaviour.
      If Trump was still a Democrat or if Obama/Hillary/Any other Dem did what Trump did, the right wing message would be extremely different and they would try to impeach and sentence him/her to prison already.
      The fact that they defend Trump the way they would accuse any Democrat of treason is all I need to know.

    1. ​@Barry Michlowitz According to the testimony of 7 Seals, he also stabbed to death the unarmed young man in the photo. So maybe he was a terrorist, not to excuse the deed, but this guy is also accused of murdering a young girl and an old man. And he boasted about killing many more civilians, it’s unbelievable.

    1. Therefore Trump sees Gallagher as his own personal champion. Someone with no moral conscience and a burning desire to inflict needless suffering upon others. I also wonder if he fulfils Trump’s other prerequisite of general misogynic behaviour towards women. I.e. Making distasteful and objectifying comments about their individual appearance, carrying out acts of intimidation and emotional abuse, when they simply tell him no.

      If so maybe he’ll definitely qualify as a “very good friend” to Mr Trump, in the sense that Gallagher will be exploited by his joke of a commander in chief for his apathy and arrogance. Of course, until such a time when he inevitably decides for whatever reason to throw him under the bus.

    2. @Shaun Higgins Trump loves to cause infighting and delights when there’s anger and hurt people. He is one evil sick man who must be held accountable and punished for all of his blatant crimes.

    1. The president has always been the commander-in-chief with broad powers of clemency and pardon from Washington onward. Washington pardoned most the participants of the Whiskey Rebellion, Andrew Johnson pardoned nearly the entire Confederate army, Carter pardoned all the Vietnam era draft dodgers, intervening in these matters in the name of mercy is something presidents do. Now if the president had intervened to see a man convicted of a crime he didn’t do, rather than giving him clemency for a crime he did commit, then we would have a serious problem, that would be a step towards tyranny…but you do see the difference, don’t you?

    1. Annie Parker wrong, democrats lost big time and continue to implode. Everything they do backfires on them. It’s fun to watch though.

    2. Kathy Franklund You have every reason to be embarrassed but it’s because you’re a democrat. It has nothing to do with Trump.

    3. @Steph J, you should take a break. Even Trollville has standards. Fabricating statistics and citing loony websites could get your troll badge revoked.

    1. @Daniel Asmus … But it cannot make his decisions righteous. To be morally right, a man must have good character and integrity. Unfortunately, these are qualities Trump does not possess.

    2. @Daniel Asmus – The Commander in Chief is subject to military law and should be convicted as a traitor. We have been at war for 18 years. The legal punishment for traitors is execution.

    1. @myredfestiva If they didn’t care about National security they wouldn’t be trying to get rid of a corrupt treasonous President who is undermining everything Americans hold dear just to satisfy himself and his bank account.But I guess you’re too dumb to notice that.

    1. Ya, there is another Republican in the Whitehouse, so war crimes like water boarding and officers disgracing the uniform and unit are admired. Also betraying the effort of the military as an agent of Russia throughout the world.
