      We MUST do this for for the children.  Oi vey !
      Hobbit hands Trump !
      From: Dr. Earl Gray A very disillusioned Methodist Republican in western Pennsylvania.

    1. you mean like the Mueller report, two years, 25 million and dems got nothing…that should be a crime!
      There will be no impeachment, just a re-election.

    2. @Sea Hawks dont lie. The Muller report not only found evidence of obstruction but made money from the indictments they handed down which allowed them to seize more money than the investigation cost

    3. @Sea Hawks
      Wrong-Russian Interference In our Elections! SEVERAL corupt individuals, many very close to trump in prison! And many others issues brought out of the dark.
      Maybe, you need to read several sources instead of listening to one-sided opinions.

  1. the approval rating for impeachment will continue to rise…
    it is close now to the point Richard Nixon knew it was time to bow out…
    Cadet Spanky McBonespurs doesn’t have that kind of class…
    he will not leave unless it is kicking and screaming like the petulant little child he is…

    1. You do know that.. out side of the U.S his approval rating is sky high.. the whole world was breathing easier when Hillary lost.. that inside the U.S his approval rating with black Americans is higher than any democrat rating for probably the last 40 years.. higher than Obama’s approval rating.

  2. Yeah now they’ll find some other reason to cry fowl and fake news 🤣. Trump could actually admit he did something wrong and they’d still cry fake news. But wait he DID admit it 🤣

    1. @Jonathan Ardoin Biden did not personally withhold anything from Ukraine. It was US government policy because of the internationally recognized corruption of the Ukrainian prosecutor. You’re ‘facts’ are a house of cards.

    2. @Stephen Simpson your xompletly oblivious, LOOK UP THE HUNTER BIDEN INTERVIEW! HE SAYS IT HIMSELF! YOUR BRAINWASHED!

    1. @elijah mikle reality that you care about nothing but trump? That the democrats are nothing but a radical cult fueled by hate?

    1. AGAIN FAKE NEWS LIES AFTER DEMON RATS FAILED IN LAST 2 HOAXS REP WANTED TO MOVE ON BUT PUTIN LED DEMON RATS NEEDED MORE DISRUPTION AND HAVOC FOR RUSSIA JUST WHAT RUSSIA WANTED WAKE UP

    1. @Sheila Mesa and you fell for it. So easy. Hows that ego? Feel better my grammer nazi friend? You need to feel smart dont you? Cant you see what your mind has become? It has become like trumps. School bully comnents? Check Narcissistic. tendencies? Check

    2. @Gabe Dudley people think they look good insulting others. In a sick way it makes them feel good about themselves. I see this on here all the time. Just ignore them because they are not worth your time.

    3. @Gabe Dudley You have learnt well from your God Emperor. make a mistake pretend it was intentional and that you are genius meanwhile you are just proving your a fool and the griffters line up to take advantage of you whilst smiling into your moronic face.

  3. 65% say WH must comply with subpoenas – there’s your first two articles of impeachment right there. That’s obstruction of justice and abuse of power.

    1. @Dan Forster lol civil war…I hope they’re up on their history, the last one didn’t work out well for them. Not to mention their AR 15’s will be no match for an F15/16/22, M1 tanks etc.

    2. @john brown Your point expanded: Why do gun lovers believe 18th century tactics will win a 21st century war? A new civil war will include destruction of all communication networks, so much for calling out the militia. Weapons like you describe, how good a marksman does it take to shoot down a tiny drone traveling at 150 mph that doesn’t need to defend itself? Not a lot of those folks around, and they’ll only get one chance. Electronic control of everything will be used to track you, or, simply make you disappear. No money, no one will ‘officially’ know you ever existed. That safe cabin in the woods? You don’t own it, and there is no record you ever set foot on it before. Any new civil war will be really one sided. And also, what makes the Trumpers think the Donald would side with them anyway? There is probably more money to be had betraying his supporters than fighting with them to the bitter end.

    3. Only subpoenas are being allowed are from the democrats and none allowed from the republicans to gain any form of testimonies.. none from the so called.. invisible whistle blower.. as what was allowed before in.. Clinton or Nixon.. that this time not allowed to have legal representation for Trump as being ruled.. guilty until proven innocent.. as is how the democrats want to rewrite the law to suit them, because of every time they do any thing.. they lose.. as is what their showing still, as with by passing procedure and law.

    4. @Frank Blackcrow OK, let’s straighten this up. Per the rules Republican John Boeniers established in 2015, only the chairman of these committees can issue subpoenas. The committees will hear testimony from others, if it is relevant to the proceedings at hand. The ‘witnesses’ the Republicans have suggested don’t meet this threshold. This is the equivalent of a Grand Jury, operating under the rules the Republicans created when they were in power. Never is the person investigated allowed to witness the discovery procedure, or to challenge witnesses at this point in any investigative proceedings. 47 house Republicans are participating in these hearings, with the same right to interrogate witnesses as the Democrats. Did you ever consider the fact that the evidence, as presented, is so damning that the Republicans can’t come up with question to refute the facts being presented?

  4. At least Dump is happy that he has finally been able to participate in real “ethnic cleansing”. Nothing else has worked out for him as failed president, especially the border immigration fiasco he created just as he has now created the Kurdish nightmare. If his supporters, including the entire Repugnant party which has gotten its huge tax cuts, if they believe that those of us who think maybe their anti-worker and anti-civil rights moves will be acceptable, then they are WRONG. We will fight Dump and his ideology and we will prevail. No ordinary American should believe in these totally crazy and unacceptable policies by the failed president. In 1973 and 1974, I watched as Nixon’s assistants, one by one, went jail. Now I’ll be glad to watch this batch go too.

    1. Amen, but this time, I want to see their party implode, and their enablers suffer the consequences of their sick way of thinking. It’s time for our society and civilization to grow up and evolve.

    2. @RightToConsent I think they have been on such a dangerous road to have him in office. He was NOT who they wanted in 2016, Bush was, but he manipulated and wormed his way into their graces. Unlike Democrats the Repugnants never back down and since GinGrinch, Newt, they play such a dirty game that in some ways Dump is a lot like them. I think the Democrats will prevail because they are on the side of right, not the side of might.

    3. @Tessmage Tessera I totally agree. Nixon’s mess ruined a lot of people’s lives for years. Unlike Clinton whose Whitewater stuff was so falsified and some of his cronies like Susan McDougal had to pay a price, very few were indicted and the Whitewater charges were proven not very substantial. Dump has really made very bad choices all along and even now his people like Mulvaney and Pompeo and Fool-iani are just bullies and thugs. Rather than cooperate and get it behind them like Clinton, they want to try to bar fight their way. It will not work.

    4. @Charlie Mcmullen Yup. Not only will it not work, but their course of action could very well lead to the total obliteration of the Republican party, within the next 12 years. I think McConnell is starting to realize this and if he’s smart, he’ll dump Trump in favor of preserving his party. To do otherwise will be to commit slow suicide.

    5. @Charlie Mcmullen: My family lived in DC during Watergate because my father was covering it for a news agency. It was all we talked about, even in junior high.To quote Andy Borowitz, “I never thought I’d get to share the joy of impeachment with my children.”

  5. Rule 1: questions only no speeches. Rule 2: stay on topic. Consequence: immediate silence or removal from the site.

    1. If only we could have a national vote on those rules, just to remind them who they’re working for. Ever thought about being a delegate to a second Constitutional Convention?

    2. Asking leading questions which include their talking points to justify the deep state, “fake news” media, But Obama, Biden, Hillary, witch hunt, no collusion, etc…

    1. America got scammed by Barr and Trump into not believing a comprehensive report by Mueller. He outlined a Russian election interference campaign to benefit Trump who welcomed the help, then tried to obstruct the subsequent investigation into said Russian involvement. So, how did America get scammed? Billy-boy released that decorated summary of the Mueller report and Donny-boy ran around screaming “no collusion, no obstruction, total exoneration”. And I’m sitting here going “What the f#@k?

    2. —> Barr, Giuliani, and the “three amigos”, Lev Parnas and Dmitry Firtash are trying. Reportedly, Lev Parnas is on the legal team of President Trump and Dmitry Firtash (wanted for extradition to the U.S. on bribery charges, an on-going investigation since the Bush Administration in 2006).
      .

    3. What future (republican) presidents will learn from this is that you can do under the counter operations as long as they are indirect and hard enough for the people to undertand. You can agree to a plot by foreigners that benefit you, but you can’t order a plot as president that would benefit you.

  6. Imagine how fast the Watergate Hearings would have been over if Nixon and his staff admitted to the break-in and cover-up. And yes, while releasing written transcripts of the White House tapes.

    1. @CHIPMUNK RAPIDS MADMAN yes he was actually smart enough to know how to leave without ending up in jail. Trump isn’t that smart.

    2. WITH PARTS MISSING NONE MISSING WITH TRUMP FULL TRANSCRIPTS JUST PUTIN LED DEMON RATS DOING EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIA WANTED DISRUPT,,,CAUSE HAVOC IN OUR GOV THATS ALL DEMON RATS R DOING WAKE UP

    1. ITS PUTIN LED DEMON RATS DOING EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIANS WANTED CAUSE HAVOC DISRUPT AND U CANT SEE IT BECAUSE U LISTEN TO COMMIE,NEWS, NET HOW CAN U NOT SEE WHATS REALY GOING ON JUST DEMON RATS CAUSING HAVOC ON GOSSIP

    2. @Richard Hammonds Oh look everyone. Someone doesn’t know how to converse calmly and quietly with facts and literacy. Either that or his Caplock is on and his Spell-checker is off.

      I’m voting just another loud-mouthed, delusional Trumpet who is scared because FOX News told them that their White Status and Privilege was under attack in order to run a con on their weak minds and fragile egos. What’s the matter? Did Daddy make you blow him and his drinking buddies?

      Cry me a river, Justin…

    1. @Richard Ray You realize the cartoon mind of all liberals cannot discern what you just wrote, but hey…you gotta try…

    2. @Owen C Hillary, for calling gabbard a Russian agent….Joe Biden, for pretending his son’s salary of $186k/month by Ukraine is nothing – there’s more, but you are a sow….

    3. HAHAHAH GET COMMIE,NEWS,,NET OUT OF UR BRAIN AND LOOK AT WHATS REALY GOING ON RUSSIA WANTED TO DISRUPT INTERFERE CAUSE HAVOC IN OUR GOV EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIAN LED DEMON RATS R DOING WAKE UP

    1. @CHIPMUNK RAPIDS MADMAN Maybe, maybe not, but do i have to? The emoluments clause, also called the foreign emoluments clause, is a provision of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8) that generally prohibits federal officeholders from receiving any gift, payment, or other thing of value from a foreign state or its rulers, officers, or representatives. Happy now you learned something?

    2. THEY DO MATTER WHEN WE SEE PUTIN LED DEMON RATS DOING EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIA WANTED HAVOC IN OUR GOV DISRUPT INTERFERE BUYING LIES IN SECRET NAZI STYLE SECRET MEETINGS AND U AGREE WITH IT WAKE UP SEE WHATS REALY GOING ON

    3. @Richard Hammonds You spelled republicans wrong there, buddy. Oh, and maybe fix your keyboard, it’s stuck on screaming.

    4. @CHIPMUNK RAPIDS MADMAN – That is not true. We know what the president says out of his own criminal mouth. We know what stonewalling obstruction implies about someone’s guilt (even the orange criminal Drumpf has said as much concerning others)
      As for other forms of information, even if we are merely being “spoon fed”, we can determine fact based on what is being said by opposing sides. For instance, if republicans claim that nothing happened – then say something happened BUT there was no quid pro quo – then say there was a quid pro quo but there was nothing wrong with it – We can infer who is telling the truth by how much one’s story, and moral stance, changes to fit the moment.
      YOU ARE FAKE NEWS

  7. Dragging Lt. Col. Vindman’s name through the mud with no shame, this President has shown time and time again of his disdain for members of the military and the honor that they have for serving. Draft dodger bone spurs Trump thinks he should have more honor coming his way by being the head of all of the military in this country. Yes, he is Commander in Chief but has proven he has no honor save from serving under Putin.

  8. Corruption YES!, the whole family. It’s a crime family that, by a fluke got elected to the highest office
    after which he betrays while plundering this country.

    1. @Bonnie L you must have voted dem-o-rat… to the loser, doesn’t go the spoils.. you didn’t notice the buyer beware sticker on Hillary smashed blackberry.. or the investigation/s she was under prior to her candidacy… of her corruption and of getting innocent people killed.. well not too innocent as they were gun runners for the democrats.. Benghazi.

    1. spud2go Ummmm hun! I do declare, you’ve misspoken. It’s the Democratic Party behind closed doors that are putting on the FISHING TOURNAMENT, WITCH HUNT, that equals ….
      THE CLOWN SHOW! and Adam Schiffty Schiff is the puppet
      Ring Master 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂the lying POS that makes up things that our president never has said before. Definitely not in the transcripts. He gets called out on it then he says he’s just parroting… well that’s just an insult to the parrots… Peta should be called…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
      &
      They can go right ahead and impeach the 45th president of the United States of America.
      The buck will stop there, cuz it sure in the heck won’t go any further than that. THE Senate won’t allow it. THEY will not unseat the 45th president of the United States of America. The BUCK STOPS AT THE SENATE. THEREFORE Pelosi will not be able to usurp the power of the PRESIDENCY. THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

      THEY DON’T HAVE POWER SO THEY WILL TRY WHAT THEY CAN TO steel it take it whatever or do you want to use. It Ain’t Gunna happen.

      Trump will prevail in 2020!
      4 more years! Then 8 more of another Republican President, then 8 more again and again and again and again. It will be a LONNNNNNNG time before another Democrat sits in the OVAL OFFICE. MARK MY WORDS!

    2. do not forget the old axiom:- “Talk at the level of the people you are trying to convince.” If you want your clowns to continue to support you, talk at that level. The people you lose, you never had.

    3. SO NOW THE RUSSIAN LED DEMON RATS CAN WAST MORE MONEY ,,TIME,,,FOOD AND AIR ON DOING WHAT PUTIN WANTED HAVOC IN OUR GOV
