Wallace On Sondland's 'Blowtorch' Testimony: 'Today Changed Everything' | MSNBC
America elected an Adderall addict, a speed freak and this is what happens when drugs fuel a narcissist’s agenda. Watch the bodies hit the floor.
Michael, will you text from the school bus too?
@Dearly Diane aww congrats! You did it. Managed to avoid the facts presented and resort to insults for your detractors. Frankly, I’m shocked I haven’t seen the dreaded “libruls” or “Leftist” epithets hauled out yet. Gotta give you a cookie for creativity!
What’s it gonna be Republicans? Truth and country, or Party and shame? Go ahead then – double down and die.
At the risk of people telling me it’s none of my business, as I’m from Australia, I;m appalled by this administration with Trump at the helm? How many Secretaries of State has he had now? And other people on the ‘front line’? Just extraordinary. Thing is, the decisions Trump makes can affect the world. He scares the beejesus out of me. Who would vote in a self confessed sexual assault perpetrator? Just amazing. Shows the attitudes to women are still diabolical. Trump has lied about 13,000 times, and there’s proof on almost all of them I believe. He says something and the actual truth is put up side by side? It would be funny if not for the fact, he’s out of control and dangerous. I stopped laughing a long time ago. Some of his arrogant poses and actions make you take in your breath, like when he pushed a world leader out of the way so he could get in front of him and been caught on camera? I said, oh dear, not a good look? Has he ever been taught any manners? Does he ever work? Not from what I’ve heard from those who know.
As for this disgrace. It has his name all over it. It’s what he does to everyone he has contact with. Bullies, demands and takes it for granted he’s entitled to do it? Could scream some days.
Hope he never visits Australia. I’ll go and protest against him being here. I don’t like men who assault women! Full stop!
@Naomi Cartledge – I, for one, am very interested in what the narrative is around the world. Sadly there is only one source narrative and it originates from a deeply murky pool. Most every single point you made has been reiterated thousands of times by the American media. What I find the most interesting is that whether you love or hate Trump the opinions are slim on facts and fat on ideology. Makes one wonder, are we pushing what someone else wants us to or are we thinking for ourselves.
@MrMferg240 We won’t be waiting until the election. When the Burisma scandal gets out the Democrat Machine is done for ! Burisma was a money laundering operation involving not just the Bidens, but Schiff and Pelosi too. $7.5 BILLION ! The screws are tightening on Obama and they are ALL in a PANIC !
Shawn Smith Hundreds of millions for a wall huh? Try again16 trillion. For what? To stop people on foot fleeing from poverty. I think we would be better served protecting ourselves from Russia and not trying to be their bffs
I guess someone saw the bus coming at him and decided to step out of the way!
That bus could use a lift kit.
Watch out for DT at the Whitehouse bus stop – he’ll be throwing Slumberland under the next No42 to Capitol Hill (If he can throw him by a tender part of his anatomy!)
Donald Trump is the finest U.S. President the world has ever known. Few here are fit to shine his shoes. MSNBC should be shut down.
Walter, you don’t even believe that yourself. Nobody’s that completely delusional. Do you get paid in rubles or dollars?
What a beautiful day…
And the ambassador’s are singing
THE CHICKEN’S’S COMING !!
WE WANT THA COUNTRY BACKKK !!!
Rod Allen listen he said it after the fact there was a 5 hour delay before he tweeted that . This blew up today and I now have to admit trump is a crook
And they’re all saying there was no quid pro quo and absolutely no documents or telephone conversations confirming any such deals. The dems call this a “victory” *lmao*

Sondland had two choices, tell the truth or become Cohen’s cell mate.

@LeAnn Purdy no people can tell you,but you gonna believe what you want.
I said not complying with subpoenas and stop others from complying is obstruction.
Which is impeachable by itself.
But there’s so many reasons.
But you don’t want to believe it anyway
@Ralph Boyd You MSNBC groupies have Putin on the brain. No wonder the media look on you as dopes. You are ! They tell you what they think you need to know to shape the way you think. They leave out the rest, and you have no idea what is really what is going on. You lap it all up. No wonder there is zero respect for you !
Sondland didn’t put Trump to the fire. He turned it and covered for Trump.
Sondland broke out the napalm today. He snitched on literally everyone.

Rotten administration from the top down.
Titanic is going down

Let’s see: Putin’s playbook says throw him out the window of a high rise and call it suicide. Please keep your bodyguard close, Gordon.
Trump will never make it to prison. When you work for Putin the Puppet Master, there’s only one way out when he’s finished with you. His previous employees would tell you that, if there were any.
@Semper verum yep. threats of that keeping the repubs in step maybe? one of guiliani’s goons held a gun to his landlords head? what other skills they got?
Frank Winkhorst Only complete imbeciles still continue with the “Putin’s puppet” fairytale. The FBI has debunked the Steele dossier. Stop being an imbecile.
Impeach the whole white house administration! Corrupt from top to bottom.
All hail ‘the Donald’! Savior of western civilization!
@toob maniac” Nobody is that clean but Trump is not guilty of the things Dems want us to believe.” I think he is and I see no reason why I should believe you.
@Jos Fielden”No facts ! Just your opinion. Not worth much anyway. ” Makes us even, I suppose.
Joseph Janaman I just don’t think Trump is that bad and I may even vote for him in 2020 we have no candidate
Nunes is an angry child.
@Jos Fielden Nunez is a toady and a political errand boy who is incapable of thinking for himself.
Donald Trump is the finest U.S. President the world has ever known. Few here are fit to shine his shoes. MSNBC should be shut down.
You CNN etc groupies are all dopes. Brainwashed morons. Nunes keeps talking about Barisma the Ukrainian Gas company. Don’t you ever ask why ? Keep watching CNN etc, they are really telling you like it is…I don’t think ! Barisma was a money laundering scheme involving $7.8 BILLION, YES BILLION DOLLARS and Schiff, Pelosi, Obama, Biden are all involved. They are looking at JAIL UNLESS THEY CAN REMOVE TRUMP ! You all have no brains left !
*Feburary:* Trump tells Congress he will release the aid on February 28th.
*September 11th:* 2 days after the intel commitee opens an investigation into the whistleblower complaint and 195 days after he told Congress he would, Trump released the aid.
POTUS can’t hold appropriated funds approved by Congress.
Yes timing is everything. Trump is masterful at that !
Donald Trump is the finest U.S. President the world has ever known. Few here are fit to shine his shoes. MSNBC should be shut down.
And isn’t the fact that it’s illegal to with hold what Congress has voted on? He had to deliver it as directed, not use it as a bribe? As for the president of Ukraine? I felt sorry for him, he’s new to all this and can you imagine listening to Trump’s sleazy threatening voice? Wow!
@Naomi Cartledge You people are completely brainwashed. Why doesn’t CNN want to touch Barisma the Ukrainian gas co. ??? Can’t you think ? Biden and his son. Threatening not to give the $1 Billion unless the prosecutor is fired. Barisma was a money laundering scheme for $7.8 BILLION. Schiff and Pelosi and Biden and Obama are all involved and fighting for their lives. You are a dope. Keep watching CNN etc. They will really tell what is going on ! That is sarcasm BTW !
Sondland 6ix9ine up there saying “everyone was in the loop” as many times as possible
@ashley My bad, sadly it’s hard to tell nowadays. lol
@Kristi Marie it’s all good, understandable 🙂
Donald Trump is the finest U.S. President the world has ever known. Few here are fit to shine his shoes. MSNBC should be shut down.
He did too didn’t he? Every time he said it I said, wow, you go fella? Of course he had to tell the truth or he’d be looking out from a jail cell soon, but even so, I enjoyed his testimony for the fact, that it strengthens to reasons why Trump should be tossed out in disgrace. And the nonsense about interfering with the peoples’ intentions etc? I’m sure they’d have not voted if they knew his intent.
One thing I must compliment the US on is the Laws about Whistleblowers and how politicians and their ‘helpers’ can be imprisoned if found out to lie or go against the interests of the country. I’m stunned (pleasantly) by the number of Trump associates who are either in jail or awaiting sentencing? It’s great for democracy. They deserve to stand before the people. We don’t have strong Whistleblower Laws, in fact our Federal police searched the home of a journalist who wrote a story that the people should be entitled to know, and also raided our National Radio and TV offices? Owned by the people via our taxes, again for a similar story. They didn’t hinder national security, they were just embarrassments to the current government! There was an outcry around the world and thankfully from media outlets in the US for which I thank them. It should be more than ok for people in the media, in Govt, in the Parliament (employees etc) to come forward and report actions that are illegal or against the SPIRIT of democracy! By gee, we need them with this Govt in power! He likes Trump too, which is a worry for us all!
Do you see the face of Nunes? It says it all.
The question before you, America: Given that America knows Trump is guilty, are you willing to let him off with it? Do you HATE the Dems, ENOUGH, to burn the Constitution? And, given that the Trumps are staring jail and disgrace in the face, does ANYONE think that they WON’T RIG 2020’s elections? With access to everything, from the INSIDE, this time? With an, “experienced,” Russia offering assistance? And, the Trump’s track record? Do you realise your Republic is OVER, if the Trumps survive this? . . .

@WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation You have some white supremacist issue.
I would say John Bolton now has a keen personal interest in speaking up. 😂
Jonas Klingberg Please for the love of country…Please do the right thing!
He’s gonna need a paycheck first. Republican to the core.
Haha haha ha!😂

WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation Fishing?
Sondland is smart. Who in the right mind want to go to jail for someone that disowned you on live TV.
Why would anyone go to jail for the dumpster that is t RUMP?

” We were only following orders ” And there it is. Try saying that sentence without a cartoon Nazi accent.
@Alan Macphail you forgot the question mark at the end Nazi boomer. When asking a question, you end that question with a question mark. Did they not teach you that at nazi school?
Alan Macphail what’s your point ? If you have one.
People following orders in a chain of command is “Nazi”? hee hee silly willy Democrat!.

@WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation Not just MSNBC. All the media are liars with an agenda.
All the president’s men. When have I heard that before?
In a dumb movie u dummy
Possibility of purjury immensely helped jog Sondland’s memory.
Arden McConnell
Sondland sang:
Sondland-What do you want from Ukraine?
Trump- I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelensky to do the right thing.
Don’t you know? MSNBC is not going to tell you the truth
Hey coach Jim Jordan , you can’t turn a blind eye to this scandal.
RaeAnn Uria was that him??? How the f is someone like that even in his position!!!!!?
@ 3:25 – just check him ogling that young staffer who comes and talks to them.
Donald Trump is the finest U.S. President the world has ever known. Few here are fit to shine his shoes. MSNBC should be shut down.
He ain’t blind.. if he was he wouldn’t be the hot mess he is on TV.
Strange how he remembers so much about everybody, but not his conversations with Trump.
Makes him rather useless as a witness !
