    1. @Victoria Biggs The Europen leaders requested it and the US went along with it. The guy was Putin’s choice. Ukranians didn’t like him either.

    2. Ohhhh You delusional leftist democrats. Your psychotic Trump hate is driving large portions of the electorate into the Republican camp. A large majority of voting Americans do not like your hate fest and want nothing to do with it.

  1. Trump supporters: We love you Donald ! Every one of us would gladly sacrifice our lives for you!
    Trump: The feelings mutual! I would gladly sacrifice all your lives for me too!

    1. Ohhhh You delusional leftist democrats. Your psychotic Trump hate is driving large portions of the electorate into the Republican camp. A large majority of voting Americans do not like your hate fest and want nothing to do with it.

  2. Are they still pushing this bs? Remember how the Senate wouldn’t allow witnesses and documentation. Republicans are on the chopping block and they know it. End the GOP!

    1. @MrArchangel73521 It’s because he held up the paper saying he was not guilty or something, probably paid for the headline, like he did the ad for the death penalty for the Central Park Five. In fact he made history. First Potus to be impeached in their first term. Well he wanted his brand to be famous. Infamous – I’d say. Happy Ms Collins? 182,000 dead and rising!

    2. @Amanda Gayhart Failed? It goes down in the history books as First Potus to be impeached in their First term. ” Infamy, infamy they all have it infamy”. Mitch and his peers just didn’t kick him out.( Except Romney). Same as Clinton was impeached. He apologised though and Nixon resigned.

    3. @Amanda Gayhart I’ll be surprised if the GOP in its current format will be here in a year’s time.

  3. Schiffs closing argument words when he asked why vote to impeach, how much harm could he possibly do before the end of his term. Those words should haunt the cowards and hopefully make a better choice casting their next vote

    1. @Ellen Peba I see you had no response to my question about your leader when he said “he likes to grab women by their p..ssies and he gets away with it because he’s a celebrity”. It must make you very uncomfortable to see this because you know what kind of person Trump really is. And then you’ve got the nerve to lecture us and call us commies and try to convert us to your phony belief system. You’re something to behold. Lol

    2. @Gee Mo Hahaha! I didn’t profess to have a closer connection! You’re really a troubled person, gee–take confidence in knowing that He Loves you as Much as He Loves me…we are both His children (maybe I talk to Him a lot more than you do?)

  4. Wasn’t Pam Bondi investigating Trump at one point? And didn’t her investigation go away when she was paid off with a “donation”?

    1. @Amanda Gayhart or whoever you really are, the best you have to pin on Adam Schiff is that he ONCE paraphrased what the president said, without actually saying in advance that he had paraphrased it – when it was perfectly clear to everyone with a brain that he was speaking ironically. And he did not read it out, he extemporised.
      Now – regarding Donald Trump’s multitudinous lies and slanders – which minute of which day would you like to focus on….?

    2. @Amanda Gayhart these people are arrogant and don’t think the law applies to them plus a woman like this will have contacts and ways to get through the system. Especially with the current administration in office.

      That said, she is under investigation for this very thing, because a number of state and district Attorneys are questioning how Trump has skated on various things for so long.

  5. Why are their so many blondes defending trump that don’t have a clue what they’re talking about expect just lying as much as possible.

    1. @Amanda Gayhart
      Your attempt at trying to sound intelligent went out the window when you assume that other people are of a certain political party, also you are part of a Klan and support that of what you are!
      drumpf Klan Followers are known for attacking and protecting a lier, womenizer, racist, and traitor to the USA.

    2. Ohhhh You delusional leftist democrats. Your psychotic Trump hate is driving large portions of the electorate into the Republican camp. A large majority of voting Americans do not like your hate fest and want nothing to do with it.

    3. @Ephimerous2006 typical Democrat statement a bunch of name-calling accusations without a single fact to back up anything you say

    4. @Hazel McCloy wrong the KKK did not endorse Trump. A satirical news site release a fake article stating cell even PolitiFact a left-leaning organization claims that this statement is untrue. Why would the KKK endorse Trump when the KKK is a democratic organization?

  6. Didn’t Susan collin’s say ‘Trump learned his lesson” after the senate trial? Wow I bet she wishes she could take that back.

    1. @Richard Barry STFU. Who wants to save racist monuments again and loves the rebel flag and guns down black people protesters?

    2. @Richard Barry Okay Kanye. You’re pretending the Southern Strategy never happened and Spanky isn’t the one pushing the narrative that BLM is destroying their white paradise. Also, David Duke endorsed Spanky.

    3. @orecoast 1961 people that live in the south and are proud of their heritage you ever drove down south? You see the Confederate flags on people’s lawns you’re telling me that all those people are in the KKK you’re freaking delusional dude I’m a Yankee so I don’t really care but that’s the way it is

    4. @orecoast 1961 and they went from General Lee to Christopher Columbus some of these idiots tore down a black Union Army regiment Memorial that’s how stupid these people are regarding history. Here in Dayton Ohio there are American flags flying Trump signs all over the place and every now and then you’ll see a Biden yard sign that’s very few and far between though so I believe Ohio will be voting for Trump again and he will prevail in the Buckeye state

  7. Pam Bondi should suffer some repercussions for lying. Nothing she said was true. In fact, the opposite is true and she knows it. The fact that someone has sold herself to Trump for a large campaign donation is bad enough, but to cintinue to perpetuate a proven lie is reprehensible. If this is permissible, it is a loophole that needs to be shut.

    1. @Jesuslovesamericans l don’t hate anyone, which appears to be more than you can say. When you accuse the Democratic party being the party of slavery, you need to qualify it and realize that after Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, the Democratic party of the South was transformed into the Republican party of today. Whether you hate or not is between you and God, and it is to Him you will have to answer, not me by any stretch of the imagination. You are being dishonest with yourself, and l would suggest you evaluate the truth of your statements and acquire a modicum of knowledge of American history. Autocracy and other restrictive philosophies do not represent the freedoms we enjoyed before Trump took office. Casting unprovable aspersions in not what Jesus taught. He said to love one another as you love yourself, and do unto others as you would do unto yourself. He also said love thy neighbor. From your statements, you have some work to do, as do all of us. Your hatred is vitriolic and unhealthy.

    2. @Nancy M Ross you have been lied to and bought it hook line and sinker. The Republican party was created to end slavery under the leadership of Lincoln which was assassinated by a democrat. It was democrat governors who called out the Nation Guard and turned the fire hoses on black children who just wanted to go to school. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was voted down by half the democrats and while over 80% of Republicans voted for it. Senator Robert Byrd who was a Klansman was worshiped by the democrat party until his death. Hillary said he was a mentor and Biden was close to him. https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/12/17/fact-check-more-republicans-voted-for-the-civil-rights-act-as-a-percentage-than-democrats-did/ The south became Republican because they are God fearing people and are pro-life. Also democrats are always attacking our guns rights and constantly want to raise taxes on successful Americans. So basically the democrats were run out. I have lived in the south and the north. Racism is way more in Northern states run by democrats. The democrats have taken over large cities and created the same environment. That is why it’s democrat ruined cities that have all the riots. To be honest, I feel sorrow for democrats, not hatred. I hate no one because I will not give leftists control over me. However, I am not going to sit by and watch them destroy this great country. President trump has awakened conservative America and exposed the democrats of who they really are. I am happy to see establishment Republicans who are RINOs(Republican in name only) fall to the waste side in the primaries. A cleansing has also happened. Americans with not accept socialism nor the democrat leftist agenda. Your warped vision of Jesus is saddening. You support a party that kills our unborn precious lives. Margaret Sanger, founder of planned non-parenthood was also a racist. Her goal was to exterminate black babies, via eugenics. You should be ashamed to support anyone supporting the butchery. I will stand by me calling you a hypocrite.

    3. @Jesuslovesamericans your lack of understanding of American history is incredible its ignorance. The Democrats to which you refer became Republicans after Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. The South is still fighting the Civil War, which is sad. A lump of cells that cannot survive outside the mother’s womb is not a baby. What concerns me is how that lump of cells that matures to become a baby is treated once it is born

  8. Love it when Mr. Schiff is on.
    It makes us feel like we might actually be in America and not on some other planet (trump).

  9. We were All Outraged Years Ago About 911 Our Twin Towers Going Down and 3,500 Precious Souls/People Passing Away … Our Hearts Were Broken and Rightly So … Shouldn’t We have at least a Equal Response to 180,000 Of Our Precious Americans Passing Away from The Corona Virus/Covid 19 in 6 months … How Shameful to Minimize Their Deaths and Slam Everyone Who Who Gets in His Way of Reelection 😥😰😳

  10. “No president can recover from an impeachment. Win or lose, his career is over.” _~ Donald J. Trump_

    1. @Debra Lambert
      They are cultist blinded by the leadings of extreme religion, patriotism and racism. Fascism is in their DNA. That is why he can do no wrong, everything is justified because it serves their purpose.

    2. @Debra Lambert << do U understand what "articles of impeachment" are ? they are simply ACCUSATIONS that must be tried in Congressional hearings ✔ when looked at , it was CONCLUDED that these ACCUSATIONS were NOT deemed worthy of removing the accused from office. 💡

    3. @Warm Violet could you please google the facts. trump was IMPEACHED by the HOUSE but not removed from office. Nixon had the good sense to resign. trump does not want to lose the election. He will be indicted by SNY. Or he can be removed if re-elected after the election if enough Dems win Senate seats. It’s called TRUTH not propaganda the republican like to spew.

    4. @Amanda Gayhart Wasn’t it Mulvaney who said ” we do it all the time, get over it”. Or as Trump would say ” It is what it is”.

    5. @may wilson I HEARD THEM. I ALSO KNOW THEY ARE STRONG DEMOCRATS AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO DESTROY HIM. DO YOU NEED TO READ THAT 10 TIMES
      THEY ARE A DEMOCRATIC PARTY FAMILY THAT WOULD DESTROY ANY REPUBLICAN PARTY FAMILY MEMBERS

    1. I’m going to be a devil’s advocate… Republicans need love, too … they are not all like castrated trumpers

    2. 💡 instead of being Suckered and Distracted by all this “orange man bad news” let Us Look closely 👀 at what the Democrat Party has presented Us to Vote For ???? 😥 a Dementia Lost Joe Biden …. is THIS the only guy we could get ??? C’mon Man !

  11. “Now, you may be asking, ‘How much damage can he really do in the next several months until the election?’ A lot. A lot of damage.” You warned them Mr. Schiff. Edit: to all the sh*thead trumpsters: hard landing ahead for you, brace for impact.

    1. @Barry6 They can’t read, either. Even the trolls they send into these comment sections are barely literate.

    1. Why Hal ? don’t U believe in Our Constitution and Democracy, in general ? = articles of impeachment are simply speculations and accusations brought to the Senate , by the House. The Senate must review the accusation and deem whether or not it is worthy of removing that person from office. FACT = after reviewing the presented accusations , the Senate did NOT remove him from office

    2. @Aj Stone get prepared, emotionally then . DONALD TRUMP is going to WIN by a LANDSLIDE ( bigger than the Beating that Crooked Hillary got )

    1. Stop the Demoncrat’s!! Nothing was abused by president Trump except.. MSNBC constantly insulting a sitting in president Trump..Shame on you all!! For all the mocking of an amazing sitting president you should all be arrested!!! Yes it is up to the voter’s!! Best RNC ever amazing truthful speeches presented by the Republican’s and Ex.. Democrats. I was a demoncrat but after the impeachment hoax and all the attacks on president Trump..and after watching the amazing RNC I am now a Republican! For those that didn’t watch the RNC and DNC watch them and compare..the RNC blew the DNC out of the water..and now they are jealous and spreading more false news about President Trump which truly is a real American patriot!! By the way did you know that the USA has the lowest deaths from COVID-19? You won’t hear that from MSNBC or CNN!! Go Trump 2020!!!

    2. Ohhhh You delusional leftist democrats. Your psychotic Trump hate is driving large portions of the electorate into the Republican camp. A large majority of voting Americans do not like your hate fest and want nothing to do with it.

    3. @Major Minor Don’t bother, most of them don’t even know what the GDP is. If they did they would realize that China is by far a greater threat than Russia.

  12. I can not tell a lie “George Washington “
    I can not tell the truth “Donald Trump “
    I can not tell the difference “replublican senators “

  13. “I cannot tell a lie.” – George Washington
    “I cannot tell the truth.” – Donald Trump
    “I cannot tell the difference.” – Republican leaders

    1. @river rat That’s because you are in a cult, and you eat “truth” out of a trump shaped spoon.
