  1. Trump: “I have a lot of options on China, but if they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous power.”

    Oh no. He wants another ‘favor’.

    1. Face it folks, all Xi Jinping has to do is offer tRump something of value to the Trump Organization and this dishonest POTUS will claim a win.

    2. I see nothing wrong in that statement. It was a show of power to let China know America is still the boss and it has the power to paralyze Chinese economy.

  2. To paraphrase Elaine Benes of “Seinfeld”, Just when you think Drumpf can’t sink any lower, he manages to drain a little more water from the bottom of the pool.

    1. @Warren Louis Not a fan of dems, they dragged their feet on this one. Republicans need to resign in disgrace. Shame on them for supporting this loser.

      Anyone supporting this is a disgrace to this country.

    1. Hey my fellow Americans, has there been any Republican members of Congress who were at this over “9 hours” of testimony that have shared their version of what they heard, on any of the news shows, be it Fox or CNN ???

  3. being a bully, for the narcissist, has been working out for so long, he has forgotten it is all a fantasy, once there are legal consequences, the only yard to bully, will be in prison, good luck

    1. Squeaky Vegan —yes, trump got away with money laundering, tax fraud, bribery and extortion while he was a private citizen. He assumes that as president, he can up his game and using foreign and domestic policies as a bargaining tools. He thinks he’s ABOVE THE LAW and can’t be prosecuted.

  4. So now, I guess there’s a text that confirms that the $400 million in aid to the Ukraine was being held back for political purposes (ie, for extortion). Crazy. It’s true. I guess all the Democrats had to do was give President Trump enough rope. He did and (based on his latest comments seeking election interference from China) will do the rest.

    1. Yeah, Trump is in freefall with no one to catch him. He doesn’t even have a war room to try and contain this scandal. If republicans do not advise him to resign, they will have to go on the record and vote to defend him. Imagine defending a bully at school after the bully was caught redhanded.

      Thats nicely put. In fact, trump added another noose with his mental meltdown admission and call for Chinese collusion. He is truly the #ColluderInChief

  5. Remember the people [McGahn] that blocked Trump from doing illegal stuff like obstruction …that’s what the ambassador was trying to keep trump from doing it again

  6. It’s time to clean house and remove tRump and his corrupt comrades in his administration. They need to be tried and convicted and sentenced to prison.

  7. Pompous is doing what he was accusing Clinton of according to video about BENGHAZI. Sorry I can still hear them screaming about it. Clinton sat voluntarily in front of a committee for 11 hours and they found squat. Pompous, dump, ghoul and flintstone personal protection att. at law.

  8. “The Newly Inaugurated Impeachment Inquiry”. 🤣😂😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😂🤣🤣😂😂

  9. We don’t have a president…we have a mafia boss. Time for our government to take him out, along with his mafia.

  10. Can’t wait to see that Giuliani in jail, he definitely deserves to be there, even if just for the safety of our nation.

  11. I’m a little surprised that the Dems don’t use Donny’s narcissism against him.
    Challenge him to answer questions and when he refuses, imply he’s scared, does not have the mental dexterity.
    Challenge him to release the tapes and when he refuses, state that there is a coverup, he doesn’t want us to hear his “perfect” calls.
    …play his game.
