    1. We will here it on the news sometime late next year:
      “Breaking News… a single engine Cessna took off from Dulles at 4:45 am, believed to be headed due North by North East… on board were 4 passengers who fled the WHITE house earlier this morning, leaving Melanie and her “Anchor Baby” Baron Trump behind. Witnesses say that the I’mPeached “acting” president Donald McDonald, his loving daughter Ivan-ka, his son Donald, jr. and the other one where on board. Update at 5 am.”

    2. I agree trump is a FRAUD corrupt evil racist supremacistt. Why make jokes about bone spurs instead just call hi. Draft dodger. Bone spurs makes this sound like a comedy show . Its alot more serious and tragic than CORNY JOKES

    1. ​@Archaeologist 1 ALL ROADS TO TRUMP PASSES THROUGH PUTIN. HELSINKI DEBACLE IN WHICH HE THROUGH USA UNDER THE BUS IN SUPPORT OF PUTIN AND RUSSIA IS A CASE IN POINT. HE`S A RUSSIAN ASSET THROUGH AND THROUGH LIKE IT OR NOT. BLIND LOYALTY, SEE NO EVIL AND HERE NO EVIL IS PATHETIC UNLESS YOU ARE A RUSSIAN! TRUMP ONCE TOLD YOU THAT WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE, AND YOU BOUGHT THAT CRAP!

    2. @Bruce Boring Bruce, This isn’t support. This is a russian bot, paid by his govt. to sew discord.
      Deflection, distraction, outright lies and misdirection are the tools of the game. This is what bot farms are.This is what they do.

  1. Need to impeach this orange stain or our tax dollars will go towards protecting this criminal and his family for rest of his life.

    1. Grifters ALL… I’d like to know how the “Be Best” ESL-challenged “First Lady” got her citizenship and how the First Immigrants/in-laws got citizenship and full top-drawer inclusion at the trough. Probably like Jared and Ivanka got their security clearances. More classic Trump con jobs.
      Thanks, DC, for the LOCK’IMUP message delivered last night! God’s chosen was abruptly deflated and demoted to Chiseler in Chief in front of millions watching live World Series TV, and that footage is going to be replayed endlessly and forever & will be a must in the eventual NYT Obit.

    2. Rosamund G. She got her citizenship illegally and her parents used chain migration, which cannot be legal as her immigration status isn’t valid in the first place

    1. @Banned B!!!! if my brother loved hitler I’d disown him . What’s the difference between trump and Hitler

    2. @Banned B!!!! Wtf are you talking about? Who said anything about assaulting people?? You Trumpers know nothing but to stretch the truth and make stuff up. Stop being an enabling muppet.

    3. @Tony Scott you know, for the amount of Nazi’s the us harbors there’s a strikingly low execution rate of zero Jews!

    1. @Daniel Trammell ADMIRAL MCCAIN PUT HIS LAZY AND PRIVILEGED SON IN THE NAVY.. THAT DOESN’T MAKE LITTLE JOHN MCCAIN A HERO. HE WAS FAR FROM IT. THIS WHITE HOUSE COLONEL IS JUST ANOTHER DEEP STATE LEFTOVER OF THE OMAMA ADMINISTRATION LEFT THERE TO SPY ON TRUMP.. AND WHILE WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT: BIDEN USING HIS OFFICE AS VICE PRESIDENT TO FORCE DIFFERENT COMPANIES TO HIRE HIS DRUG ADDICTED SON AND GETTING PAID ENORMOUSLY LARGE SUMS OF MONEY HE COULDN’T POSSIBLY HAVE EARNED, IS BID PRO QUO.

    2. @Harry Sher LOL… HE’S DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB INSPITE OF ALL THE CRIMINAL LEFTISTS THAT ARE LIEING AND ATTACKING HIM ON A DAILY BASIS.. WAKE UP LITTLE ZOMBY.. THE WORLD IS PASSING YOU BY…

    3. @FMB1 I JUST LOVE CHATTY CATHY.. SHE’S MY FAVORITE CHEA- PET. AS BRIGHT AS A POLISHED ROCK…AND VERY CUTE.

    4. @Banned B!!!!
      Did anybody hear a question being answered that nobody asked?
      That could only mean the political stylings of Banned B !

      Yeah uh-huh 9 and not 1 one yet huh?
      Lol you people have abandoned everything that has anything to do with actual reality…

    5. @Banned B!!!!
      I believe the United States has troops in Afghanistan under President chump, just as the US had troops in Syria on President Chumps watch.

      So there goes that…
      Barack Obama wasn’t engaged enclose to 9 Wars so what on Earth are you talking about? And that’s good, that’s real real good! Because we won’t need chump for our next big war. The Eco war on Russia!

    1. @Michael Gibson Stop it! you’re making me blush!
      I consider well constructed and articulated descent
      to be the the utmost duty, honor and privilege of any citizen
      of a “free” society that is being threatened. As long as we have a constitutional
      guarantee of protection from those who would cut out our
      tongues, hack off our fingers and and gouge out our eyes
      that bare witness to the truth I declare we all sing it out, write it down,
      and watch the road ahead because there’s a five year old
      driving the bus into a chasm.
      Up Your’s King George!!! Crawl back under the morally vacuous
      rock you were spawned from… and while your at it, take your swamp scum
      minions with you!
      P.S. thanks for the affirmation and validation of my disclosures.
      pray to the Gods this will all be over soon,
      and if you don’t believe in a God,,, pray there’s a meteor out there
      aimed strait at his purulent, pustulent, pumpkin head.

    2. @Supre Macy what do you know well, Qanon more Trump enabler conspiracy you lot would be running out of conspiracy theories 🙄

    1. There’s 2 months left of 2019 you obviously don’t know how impeachment works trump gets to defend himself before they can even vote which voting can take up to several months to get all the information they obtained and look at it together

    2. Passport Stamps you didn’t even read the transcript did you no where in the call did trump say or suggest that if they don’t investigate Biden then they don’t get the aid

  2. the president said he was going to eliminate “ the deep state “ not build one.
    But he’s a proven lier, so nothing is surprising

    1. He’s certainly shone a spot light on bias in news networks and papers aswell as james comey, brennen, clapper and a slew of others but you won’t learn anything here..

    1. IS a former comedian. If he WAS a former comedian, he would have stopped being a former comedian, which makes no logical sense, since once you have been something, you ALWAYS have been that something. Does NO ONE speak proper English anymore?

  3. It’s reassuring to see government employees who have the balls to stand up to a tyrannical, bullying White House administration and not cower like many in Congress. Even at the risk of losing their jobs or throwing away their careers. These are true patriots.

    1. @burdick7577 Yes It is exposing Itself like the Sexual Predator Of The United States (SPOTUS) that It is. Cos Sudafed Trump is the deep state. The senate won’t be able to save him. Already enough Republicunt turncoats there to run him over. Their own political careers will have a quid pro quo with the public attached to those up for re-election.

  4. When you can’t argue the facts, argue the law.
    When you can’t argue the law, argue the facts.
    If you can’t argue the facts or the law….then release Rudy from his coffin to hit the cable news shows!
    😄😆😅

  5. ” He likes to brag about being able to make a deal, and making a deal IS really quod pro quo”.
    I luvvit ! Congresswoman Titer made a BINGO statement ! BTW, I love Chris. Chris says exactly what Chris feels. KUDOS, Chris!
