    1. @Waynes World : But you say “commies” … can you explain to me what communism means? You do know that communism is a swear word in the US because of the cold war and the Cuba crisis, right? Not because you understand what it actually is?

    2. @Roman Ward It’s all a fantasy propmoted by Russian trolls like you. GOP Trump trolls and Russian trolls are all the same. Can you say President Biden? it has a nice ring to it doesn’t it.

    3. Impeachment by the House and then conviction by the Senate can happen even after he leaves office AND (this is key) conviction makes him ineligible to hold any future federal office. THAT is the important part, so even if his rabid supporters want it, he is simply barred from holding the Presidency again.

  1. Donald Trump is such a disgusting president that Joe Biden turned both Georgia and Arizona blue. Let that sink in.

    1. @Hairy legs Corn Pop Hush up Hairy! I’m trying to listen to Liddle Schiff. He’s an Eggspurt on phone calls ‘ya know. And here he is with Eggspurt interviewer crazy Lawrence. Both their A$$es are going to be gone soon too. Enjoy ’em while ‘ya can. (The whole Standard Hotel bunch is headed for an acid bath …)

  2. This recording must be saved for posterity as proof that this bat sh.t crazy was not just a cartoon character. Bizarre is the only word for this.🤪

  3. Trump committed two felonies on the phone. He needs to be indicted and convicted so this doesn’t happen every election

    1. This is correct. The conviction (well, convictions actually) is necessary, partially to sanction criminal behaviour but also to demonstrate that no-one is above the law, but above all to show the hundreds of thousands of die-hard trumpers that they have been misled.

  4. Georgia official: “Mr president, with all due respect, you can’t believe everything you see on social media.”
    t’rump: “”Well, this isn’t social media. It’s t’rump media.”
    Georgia official: 😅😂🤣
    t’rump: 😩💩🥴

  5. American democracy has been tested to the limit by Putin (the poisoner) and Trump (the traitor).
    Corruption will not stand.
    Justice will prevail.

  6. Of course Patriot Schiff is not surprised. His closing argument for the conviction of Traitor Trump included the assurance that if not stopped by conviction that Traitor Trump would continue his high crimes and misdemeanors, which he certainly has.

  7. This is not the first time Trump has used extortion and it won’t be the last. He and his enablers have become more emboldened.

  8. If Trump is not legally held accountable for this, then you are essentially announcing to the whole world the United States of America has officially turned into a banana republic.

  9. There will be many more recorded calls of Trump trying to do this…. this is one that leaked. Likely more will surface post 20 January.

  10. I’m not surprised that Frump would do anything that’s illegal about this time to stay in the white house

  11. When talking about trump, the word ‘organized’ is used very loosely. Crime, however, is spot on. He is a criminal and he proves it every week.

  12. I wouldn’t describe Trump’s crimes as “organised”, shambolic seems a better description – much like everything else he does.

  13. *Demand justice of your government America! This must be prosecuted and punished, all those involved so that this doesn’t happen again in this country…..PERIOD!*
