Peter Baker On Impeachment Debate: Lawmakers Keeping Fact-Checkers Busy | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. “Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” -Charles de Gaulle, French Resistance leader against Nazi Germany in WWII

  2. We can all support our american values and our constitution. Not supporting the constitution and the rule of law… just doesn’t seem right.

  3. Imply that Donny could apologise !!!! Haha. Good “tongue in cheek” comment.
    Can’t find that chapter in the “Narcissists for Dummies” book.

    1. John O by the looks of things on a global zeitgeist level you are on “the wrong side of history” to borrow an Obama phrase. Great work Ricky Martin 👍

    2. @Maha Tiki Cat So being on the side with Nazis is the right side of history? Funny, I vaguely remember that the Nazis lost and most of the world now views them as criminals.

  4. Be careful with the bubbly talk of the President..
    Open your eyes, ears and listen to your conscience…nothing else..

  5. Over 75% of this nation is for impeachment. If Republicans do not vote for impeachment they are voting against the people and against the Constitution.

  6. When it comes to Trump and the GOP,  all roads lead to Russia.
    Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Rudy, and Devin Nunes, received a $1 million payment from Russia and tried to hide it from investigators, prosecutors have now stated. Trump denies knowing Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, even though they have attended events at his properties, and they have posed in multiple photos with Trump.

    Parnas, who was charged with illegally funneling foreign cash to Republican politicians, including a pro-Trump super PAC, received $1 million from a mysterious account in Russia in September, which he conveniently forgot disclose to the government.

    Parnas is the founder of “Fraud Guarantee” 😂  a consulting firm with no “identifiable customers” that paid Rudy $500,000. The mysterious payment from Russia should not be a surprise considering that all roads lead to Putin and Russia when it comes to Trump.

    Prosecutors say Parnas and Igor Fruman donated larger sums of money to Republicans in an effort to enlist them in their effort to oust then-Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, who testified that she was recalled after a smear campaign by Rudy. Along with their work with Rudy, Parnas and Fruman are accused of meeting at Trump’s Washington hotel to discuss a Ukraine gas deal linked to Yovanovitch’s removal.

    In October, Republican Kevin McCarthy said he plans to donate the $111,000 that was given to the House Republicans’ main fundraising committee by Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas. 😲

    McCarthy, a sycophantic defender of Trump, said the money from Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, would be given to charity.  A handful of Republican campaign committees received nearly $500,000 from Parnas and Fruman.

    Prosecutors say that they “conspired to circumvent the federal laws against foreign influence by engaging in a scheme to funnel foreign money to candidates for federal and state office so that the defendants could buy potential influence with candidates, campaigns and the candidates’ governments.”

    Fruman and Parnas also created Global Energy Producers, an LLC to hide their funding sources and conceal their names on large contributions, the indictment says.

    FL. Gov. Ron DeSantis said he plans to return nearly $50,000 he received, according to a report by The Miami Herald. Parnas attended fundraisers for DeSantis in 2018. 😲

    I think it’s safe say that not only do the Russians own Trump, they also own the GOP as well. It’s going to be interesting to find out just how much Russia paid Trump and republicans to sellout and betray America. And make no mistake, we will find out.

    1. Don’t worry, they will. Especially if Democrats take the Senate and the Congress. If Trump is voted back in, he will be impeached and removed faster than you can blink.

    2. @Utha so years from now? doesn’t seem to be faster than i can blink. And you mean when he’s re elected not if.

    3. @Domepeace_ltd productions We’ll just have to wait and see. Unless you have some insider knowledge about the election, already? That wouldn’t surprise me if you did given 2016.

  7. The idea of censure might have flown in say AUGUST if there had been any smart men in the room who would admit to an oopsy and put some bacon on the table BEFORE any digging began. The problem was the bloated ego known as POTUS. He dragged the GOP to this place.

  8. Do not allow the Republicans Conspiracy timeImpeach him-Party line Vote 240-0-get all the Financial Records and have the Southern District or the State of New York Indict him! Mitch has stated “I wont stop the vote”-Lie, but it means he believes he can, We can stop the Trial also with the same argument. It isnot in the Constitution
