    1. @eric hoppe no.. you got alot of dumb dems.. and who told you that most of americans believe this set up dems scam

    2. Yea but these senators are no better than the president even after being caught in a lie!!!!
      Trump- “NO QUID PRO QUO”
      SONDLAND AMBASSADOR TO UKRAINE PUBLIC TESTIMONY- “YES QUID PRO QUO!!!”

    1. In a nutshell yes but not just a headline. Trump would have used it during the entire campaign to smear Biden and call him criminal Joe because the Ukraine is investigating him. Trump never cared about the Ukraine, any corruption there, or that Bidens son had a job.

    2. @Gabe Dudley: That’s NOT what Sondland said! Why don’t tRUMP, Mulvaney, Guiliani, Pompeo, Pence, Barr, Bolton, Perry, etc. testify IF they have nothing to hide and have done nothing wrong? An honest person would be willing to testify to provide clarity, wouldn’t they? To prove one’s innocence?

    3. @Jana Schwehm he said “trump asked for nothing. He said do the right thing and that’s it”. You can’t deny what he said just because the Nazi propaganda experiment refuses to show it. Why do you keep supporting it? Why do you remain in the control group? We all know Biden needs to be investigated. Imagine how you would be acting if it was Eric trumps bank records showing millions in transactions from the Ukraine. Let go of the bias and just think with some logic

  1. Mexico Federales just arrested Rudy crossing the border into Mexico illegally. He was wearing a poncho, Sombrero, dark shades, and a fake mustache, and riding a donkey.😂😄

    1. That is funny. What I would say is that these Trumpers, including Rudy, think that nobody would be able to dig deep enough to uncover their crimes and therefore they will never run.

  2. *Everyone:* “Yeah, Sondland took part in the quid pro quo”

    *Sondland:* “Oh, we’re just throwing people under the bus now are we? Two can play that game.”

    🤣

    1. Gabe D    …….    Oh, you’re a funny guy !  These trumplickers had better not drop the soap where so many of them are going .

  3. Not Sondland, but Republican’s questions opened suggestions that Javelins were negotiated with previous Ukrainian president as a bribe for Trump’s October 2020 surprise back in 2017. But the new Ukrainian president didn’t know that and had to be extorted into cooperation. And now this….

    1. @Moscow Mitch give it a rest@ Hillary was investigated and exonerated unlike trump who could not be exonerated by Mueller. Had his hands not been tied by the rules he may have very well been charged with criminal activity long before now.

    2. @ma ta You arent someone who thinks things through are you? Do you know that trump BARELY won in 2016? He won the electoral vote by only 77,000 votes spread out over 3 states.We know now that 65% of woman disapprove of him,independants are fleeing him,His unwinable trade war made harley davidson close down factories,farmers all over the midwest have come out against him,he only has 8% of the african american vote, a dismal approval rating which is lower then it was when he was elected.etc. So how exactly is trump gonna win in a “landslide” When possibly millions of people who voted for him in 2016,will not vote for him in 2020? Think things through and check your facts before you speak.

  4. A president who’s already said he’d take dirt on opponents from foreign actors, is trying to deny he was trying to get dirt on an opponent from a foreign actor. 😂

    1. @Gabe Dudley lol, why are you getting triggered responding to every critic of Trumps. If you want the echo chamber, stick to your Fox News vids

    2. @Nam Pham who says I’m triggered? Your ego? I am merely a voice of logic my friend. Embrace it or reject it and remain in control group A. There is always a choice. Free will

    3. Trump famously told George Stephanopoulos that he would take dirt on a political rival from a foreign government on June 12, 2019. That is so close to the timeline of the scandal that he (Trump) might have already been actively engaged in his dirty deeds at that time! Guiliani was pushing Lutsenko’s conspiracy theories at least as early as May 1.

    4. Any politician from any party would take any dirt from any source. They are basically all the same animal.

    1. @jeck jeck never happen but after the video by the IG about his report it sure looks like all your hero are going to be indicted very soon

    2. Unfortunately the corrupt Moscow Mitch will acquit Trump in the Senate. Ignoring all first hand evidence and facts to keep this horrific administration going. ALL Republicans up for re-election in 2020 have to go!

    1. Yea, maybe. I believe Sondland gave them away today because he fears they might throw him under the bus. I mean, I still wonder where he’s going. To tell all like he did. Something is up. Sondland was along for the ride until they got caught, you have to remember that. Now, that he could go to jail for lying he had to come clean. I don’t trust rich guy Sondland, no further than I can throw him. Nor Pompeo. There all rats.

    2. @T …Sondland KNOWS they would throw him under the bus. He just got in first. He’s walking the line between loyalty and perjury, but the line is getting thinner. 🙂

    1. @Gabe Dudley Yah! Right! No worries, the ship is sinking so fast than expected!!!:))) Another visit to the hospital is what the moron president need!!! Check his mental health!!!:)))

    2. @Gabe Dudley it was confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Confirmed that Trump commited campaign finance violations by paying off stormy Daniels. Nice try though?

    3. @Perry Walton like creepy joes? Its obvious you dont care about curruption. Just orange man bad right? Maybe orange should be the new colors of the left. The cult that doest think about anything but orange man bad

  5. What is Trump holding over the heads of these people who can’t for the life of them get on the side of America and off the side of Trump?

    1. Trump has their balls, spines, brains and what was left of their souls?!
      Nope…

      He just knows the names of all the underage hookers the Republican pedophiles in office frequent.

    2. John, I believe your question to be rhetorical, however, maybe all “these people” are simply crooked just like Trump, in heart, mind, and oh nope: not one has a soul. Not one of them is on anyone’s side but their own. Pompeo, Pence, Barr, Bolton. Cohen, Stone, Giuliani, Jordan, McConnell (and his wife, who now heads Department of Transportation, being an expert, because of the family business ) Etc, etc. on another note, my not so rhetorical question remains: Putin seems to be holding something over the head of our headless horseman, wonder how dangerous that is? Speaking of America’s side.

    1. MrJth937

      Exactly. They yip-yap about Hunter Biden, yet the secretary of energy walks in and secures a 50 year contract for his political money donors, despite their offer being lower than that of the competition. If they’re looking for corruption, they will more likely than not find it here.

    1. @Pat Rix Although i strongly disagree with them,they are in fact,human. Terrible things have happened before when people start dehuminizing other people.

  6. This testimony couldn’t have been clearer, everyone in this administration knew what Trump wanted, used his personal lawyer to convey his desire and everyone acted under that condition.
