What’s The Deal With The WH Memo Of The Trump-Zelenskiy Call? | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump is in a worId of pain due to his incompetence and his criminal conduct !
@krokion That’s when you didn’t know the conclusion of the Mueller report. Now that the people know it’s a hoax, the people will turn on you. This is a fake whistleblower who had no first-hand knowledge of what happened. It’s all hearsay and rumor. No wonder the complaint was dismissed. Even the Ukrainian President said there was no pressure. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RCowmzTToY). So Pelosi wants to impeach just because Trump said, “Can you look into Joe Biden’s crimes.” Really!?! Fake whistleblower, fake news, fake impeachment, fake outrage. Dems just lost 2020. This guy should be fired and brought up on charges of treason.
And it be richly deserved
@Forrest Lincoln You’re not keeping up with the news. This story about Trump’s impeachment is turning out to be a dud, again.
@Rodney Boehner just because he colluded with a foreign power…….pattern of abuse of power. You are highly unfamiliar with constitutional law or you are simply a fan of enemies of the USA. Rather simple. No grey area here except in your mind.
@TheModelOmega I knew my homonyms when I started Kindergarten. I cringe when I see the wrong words used!
Excellent real news as usual, my truth brother! All I want for Christmas is Trump outta office. Please Santa!!
@SkyGemini maggot
May be an early Christmas? We will see.
@Angel Light thank God it’s almost over. Still praying on that one sister
Who is Trump going to throw under the bus to save his own fat a**. Alot of people are nervous tonight.
@cessna caravan Say what, trumpturd tears? 🤢😭😭😭😭😭
@Anna Lisa Saquing Jared Kushner.
Nailed it!
j walsh he’d throw his family under the bus just a slight hesitation with Ivanka but then a quick recovery and straight under for her. If that wasn’t enough he’d dig up his mother and throw her under alongside old Fred
every American who loves America,please write our congress tomorrow,let them know if they exonerate trump,they are each one guilty of TREASON,as they are publicly turning their backs onUS THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA.I’m writing one a day,flood them with the reality of Americas future,its in their hands. GOD BLESS TRUE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
@generationofswine I already cited the 1790 Naturalization Act, passed by the first congress, which allowed Greeks and Italians in.
Why do you goofballs always parrot this same propaganda about “Native Americans.” Anglo-Saxons are Native Americans. The Constitution refers to, what you refer to as, “Native Americans” as belonging to seperate nations. Who signed the Declaration of Independence, fought at Bunker Hill, or wrote The Constitution? People like the Seminoles are their own nation, with their own culture, religion, language, and historical narrative. Do you know what the word nation means?
jewell charles And “Aiding and Abetting”…👍
@generationofswine Trump isn’t going to even be impeached, dork. This “scandal” has already been proven false and several Democrats have come out against impeachment. Swing and a miss.
Shut up!! We’re not writing noone!! Trump is trying to take down all of the pieces of zhit that was entrenched in the government
Obviously, we have a Mob Boss President in desperate need of impeachment for the entire World to see…
Claudy TheArtist You got that right.
@Robyn Hickey Yes, they do.
@Jesse IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT REPUBLICANS AND DEPLORABLES ARE COMMIE TRAITORS TO AMERICA.
CONSERVATISM: A DISEASE OF THE MIND, HEART, SOUL AND PATRIOTISM. Yup!
@Idylchatter I’ve read Mein Kampf but I doubt Trump is able to read it, or much of anything else!
Will William Barr continue to defend Trump’s interests when Trump, as he inevitably will, tries to put the blame on Barr?
LardGreystoke .. great question.
barr already denied he knew anything… of course.
Barr was running a great coverup until the trail led to his fat butt. Now, Donnie was just a coffee boy.
This is the biggest RICO case in US History!
Lol
MisterRogers : It will pay for itself, maybe? Unlike that painful embarrassment of a Benghazi waste of time. We might even MAKE some money out of this? 😉👍
There’s a missing piece here. Putin wants the Ukraine back, but U.S. military aid to the Ukraine will put a big crimp in Putin’s plans. Since Trump is Putin’s butt-boy, that puts Trump between a rock and a commie. So how does Donnie get around it?
Yup! 100% 👍
Interestingly enough, Giuliani rose to power using Rico act to nab financial criminals and mob bosses. He now goes down working for the mob boss and financial criminal in Chief🤣🤣 poetic Justice!
The situation is becoming increasingly untenable for Republicans in Congress.
Even Mitch McConnell is starting to cave.
Buckle up, buckaroos. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!
@Ripple Waters Good one,huh.Shes very cute I like AOC and she has a purty mouth.
@Ripple Waters, hahaha, karma is a b***h!
Untenable or not most of them crooked AF for continuing the defense of the indefensible. Just say yeah he fkd up and fo what you can with Pence
Sarah Suckabee, speaking to Faux News Republican cult zombies, “Impeachment is a winning strategy for the GOP in 2020!” Wiping up the beverage sputtered out inadvertently in uncontrolled outburst of hilarity, got to thinking; Is it any wonder we got here?
Barr is now an employee of Trump rather than a public servant for the benefit of America, even though the American taxpayers are paying his salary. This is so obvious but the trumpets will still protest.
He’s been an employee of trump nothing new
He was the day he was hired. He’s never been for the people.
the WH edited synopsis is just fish food. There are big enchiladas waiting to be served.
Barr and Fwump can share a 5′ x 9′ cell with a hole in the corner for a crapper. Oh, and let’s fine ’em $5 million each for all the taxpayer money they spirited away.
hey trump i know you are having a bad week. but hey if it makes you feel any better big guy. just know the dumbest people i remember from high school still believe in you
Haha you made a classic I love it .
@cessna caravan Trump watches cartoons too.
Newton wallet..sorry if I got name wrong..but that was perfect comment !! Whoohoo! 👏👏👏👏✌✌✌😉😉😉
cessna caravan ??? Why didn’t you watch….this Video..smdh “HELLOOOOO”
Newton Wallen good one! I’ve been doing an unofficial Bro science survey noting the Trump supporting filth I encounter in public. They have this perpetual scowl on their faces, the only time the scowl breaks is when there’s some act of cruelty that Trump has performed on some poor defenseless person; at that point, their little beady eyes light up and they smirk or smile.
Our President, is so delusional!
Trump believes he did nothing wrong + he can get away with it.
WoW
Sad.
Ironic that to get away with something one can’t be innocent.
and his supporters still cheer for him.
Look at his life til now getting bailed out by his daddy, then by laundering oligarchs. Then the US ppl let this mad man and his admin of chucklefucks do/say WHATEVER they wanted for 3 yrs. They tried to play covfefe as some deep secret code Trump used. Point is, hes dumb and brazen, but also enabled as such because nobody holds him accountable
By definition narcissists are never wrong. That’s why they can’t learn anything or follow simple rules. That’s why he doesn’t have any competent people around him, only yes-men. if you correct Trump when he makes an obvious mistake, you’re fired.
Slow down a little! He needs to be impeached on ALL of his crimes. There are 6 investigating committees – all should present Articles of Impeachment. Collusion, Obstruction, Emolluments, the Inauguration scam, state crimes such as tax fraud and money laumdering….If he goes down on this matter alone, his supporter will remember just one “mistake”.
If we have one smoking gun that’s the one to focus on, more than that delays Trumps removal. Get Trump out ASAP. The other charges coming from the NYAG are enough to totally wipe him out and put in in prison, and these are non-pardonable since they are under state jurisdiction. There is no way out for Trump unless he decides to “Epstein” himself.
@Tom Tim Cockroaches are very smart or at least smarter than trump.
Exactly. apparently millennials are too stupid to hold on to one concept at a time. Only the boomers are capable of objective analyses and Multi tasking
Absolutely. They need to impeach on ALL of it.
@Ron Helms – Nixon didn’t implicate Ford. Besides Nixon resigned. He was never impeached. I don’t doubt Pence would pardon Trump. But its by no means certain. And remember. He can only pardon him for Federal crimes. SDNY remains active but at the time he wouldn’t have the aegis of the Presidency and the DoJ. One way or another this is all going to come out.
He has to be the stupidest MF! He never really wanted to be President anyway. He should’ve just faked Bone Spurs again! 😉
Maynard Montez Trump is a moron. Other morons wouldn’t know this. Just not possible.
@Steven It has nothing to do with draft dodging, nor the Vietnam war. What’s more, I never mentioned either. I worded my comment deliberately, knowing full well it will draw out idiots such as yourself.
@Charmaine swinney, the financial gain was too tempting for trump to resist. Once he realized the amount of money he could make with the help of other government officials, like pence, barr, pompeo, mnuchin etc, and other foreign countries like China, Saudi Arabia, was better for his already failing business(es). Also, he can play an international mafia boss with vulnerable foreign power such as Ukraine, he wasn’t going to pass on that kind of power control for revenge sake. Trump is a greedy and petty man. That’s his downfall.
that was Obama and Michael.
Verbatim transcript would probably get him impeached within 2 days.
Probably not. Better luck in 2020.
Before Christmas? WOW! I’ll take that present!
I hope so!
Without a doubt now Donald Trump is the dumbest man in America 😂
everyone defending him, too
More than one third of ‘murrkans think he’s doing a good job. So no. Not by a long shot.
Eddie Blanks America? I’m afraid it’s global!
Rump is his own worse enemy – his appointed employee turned him in – the “witch” is in the house. hilarious.
Actually, I think I’d leave that to his cult following!
When Trump says “Alot of people” say or want or need something …. He really means himself lol
Or like when he says a “lot of people agree with me, ” or ” many people Wants the same thing” But never say who these ppl are. What a wuss.
@Gnirol Namlerf Or can you give us the nam of some who stand by you
👍🏽 and when he says “nobody knows…” … he means HE didn’t know (and usually it’s something anyone who paid any attention at school has LONG known 🤦🏻♂️).
I know! I get so sick of hearing that, anything from him.
Republicans dont believe in dictionarries, only in Alternative Facts Dictionarries !
Looks like Sean Hannity will be blowing Mike Pence instead of Trump before too long.
RAYNOND ST. PIERRE
😀👍
@Jim Alley Thanks…I couldn’t help it, though.
@Denyze I have it on good authority your mother indulges in deviant sexual practises using forceps with her physician. FYI
It is laughable that you asked if *this* is the smoking gun. Mate, THE ENTIRE GUNRACK IS SMOKING!!
Trump and his “a lot of people are talking”. Like all those people talking about Obama’s birth certificate. It’s all a scam for Trump.
Yeah, whatever became of all those people he sent to Hawaii who were finding incredible information?
Wendy Pastore – He’s a CON MAN!
