Steele: Following Trump, GOP Senators Have Opened A Pandora's Box Of Hell | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

    1. Yes it will matter. Because he is echoing the words of anyone who is reasonable, logical, and not biased by political beliefs. Trump is a sociopathic criminal, and the GOP is trying to bend reality and completely distort it to accommodate him.

  1. Just let’s vote Trump out in 2020 and let him feel the power of each individual voter saying “NO MORE OF YOUR INSANITY” at the top of our lungs.

    1. it can be difficult to vote someone out that has shown that he will cheat on an election and has been given a green light to do so by his party.

  2. “Donald Trump will be my protective shield.” Uhm…the same protective shield that lost you Virginia, Kentucky and Louisiana? Uhm…ok. Got it.

    1. Christina Denham Agree wholeheartedly. They want to distract. If they can’t do they have to stop. Facts can be stated without giving them attention.

    1. @Cameron Luer

      Are you a child?

      We do know that you are at least competent to operate a smart phone.

      And that you can compose at least ONE full sentence….that we know of.

      Your single sentence, however,
      makes me wonder how you process context?

      The definition of racist does not correlate with me, in any way, shape, or form.
      Maybe you are confused about the definition. Have you looked it up?

      You can go to another window right now,
      while you’re reading this,
      and ask someone,
      or something to,
      define the word racist for you.

      It’ll only take a sec.

      The test here,
      FOR EVERYONE ELSE reading this correspondence between myself and Cameron,

      Is, that if Cameron reads the definition of racist, and continues to call me one,
      Based on what I said in my original post,

      Well then,
      that means either Cameron is severely challenged….mentally,
      especially in the area of comprehension,

      Or it means Cameron is an intentional instigator,
      with malicious intent.

      My original post is an observation in study,
      that if not further researched and examined BY white people,….

      Will only lead to the demise of white people.

      Calling ME a racist,
      not only doesn’t make any sense at all,
      but it’s a bit counterproductive, considering the crisis at hand.

      DON’T YOU THINK?

      Jeeez.

    1. The cancer of trump has spread throughout the gop. Republicans are now actively participating in covering up trump’s crimes and saying it’s okay for him to break the law, now and in the future.
      UNBELIEVABLE!

    2. Actually, no they didn’t. Reagan said 37 times; “I have no recollection” and GHW Bush, who had been DCI (Director Central Intelligence) prior to the WH said “I was out of the loop”.The crap role was handed publicly to Col. Oliver North, leaving him in the wind for “buying, transporting and providing military weapons to parties sanctioned by Congressional vote”. Oliver North was “disgraced” for pedaling weapons acquired with government money and providing them to forces held to be hostile to American interests. That “punishment was meted out at Col. North’s separation interview, held with the Commandant of the USMC at the time; Col. North arrived for that meeting in his Marine Green Class A uniform, with all of his citations, participation bars and medals- he has several, having been an excellent combat officer- after approximately two hours he came out of that meeting with all paraphernalia intact, shortly afterward it was announced Col North was retired at full rank and with full benefits. In other words the Cops gave Ollie a “bye” for following his commander’s (Ronald Reagan) orders and falling on his sword. There is no other way to explain how an officer in the US Military could be involved up to his neck in foreign gun running and not get life in prison. Go look at how they deal with single weapon thefts.
      This was not the beginning; Lyndon Banes Johnson’s WH invented the spy ship story to justify going in hard to Viet Nam. The start is more likely the bizarre assassination of JFK. After that the wheels slowly start coming off. Yes there were some good further civil rights bills, but look at where we are now- it is a progression from that killing in Dallas. It’s not any individual. it is not really a huge conspiracy; it’s 535 greedy political office holders playing the power game- it was highly visible when Jack Abramoff, lobbyist, close associate of Bush and Cheney, was convicted for defrauding Indian Councils seeking gaming licenses that he never did any work toward and bragged about- Abramoff had made himself too visible- he had to go. Go dig up some of the pieces he wrote after prison and some talks he gave. But nobody believed him- he was a convicted felon. Well, friends and neighbors, this one presidency, in three years has seen more of it’s aides and appointments convicted of campaign finance violations, fraud, money laundering- more newly convicted fraudsters and felons than any president in history after four years in office. So Iran’Contra was prosecuted and the wrong people were blamed, but the system managed a “soft landing’ for their agent; Oliver North ran for and won seat as Senator from Virginia just a few years later; did Virginia know (or care) that they were voting for an international gun runner to the Senate? And still none of the real perpetrators have been caught and prosecuted- and We the People have known it all along- so the entire electorate is also guilty of willful disregard- that is all of us. We Must Do Something to Resurrect the Average Exceptional American, and the belief each of us may become one.
      How deep does it go? From 1972 onward the US Army Military Police assigned to Viet Nam investigated and found there were members of the US Graves Registration Office (they are responsible for getting the services for combat deaths; imbalment, shipping, receipt and honor guard details; they were shipping 2-4 kilos of heroin from VN to America via the corpses of our dead. Six sergents were named, prosecuted and convicted; all of them were in VN ; no one on the receiving end was ever investigated. Go look and see- it’s all from the We’re getting out of VN” era military news. it hadn’t helped that our services were more draftees, many of whom were swept off of courthouse holding cells and given the option to join or several years in state pen- it tool till well into the ’80s to flush all the minor thieves and liars out of the service- ask retired recruiters from the era.

    1. @Dave Waldon I think you will agree it’s time Biden sent his personal lawyer to China and Saudi Arabia to investigate Trump’s kids’ illegal doings. And if he offers them something in trade…so what?

      And yes, that is the future. All nice and legal now.

  3. This could all be over quickly if someone would just tell Trump that Obama can hold his breath for 20 minutes.

    1. —- > Bolton should be arrested for selling his testimony… there should be a law against refusing to testify so you can cash in on a book.

    1. Land of the Free – don’t pretend you’re offended by klansmen. Donald trump’s father was one. Donald trump refused to condemn David duke and the White nationalists in Charlottesville. He is a racist who pretends he’s not. You seem to have no problem with that.

    2. Land of the Free – are you for real? Have we all misunderstood everything, and president trump has indeed willingly offered himself and his staff to be questioned by house and senate? Were we imaging things when donald trump – to the embarrassment of everyone in the room I’ve no doubt- told an international audience he had all the papers and the democrats didn’t? Is it the democrats who are trying to prevent the publication of Bolton’s book?

    3. Black Fonz – that would be so good. He’s a Rottweiler who jumps on and chews any passing bandwagon, and is not bothered by any necessity to deal in facts. I’d love to see him and Matt gaetz go down.

    1. @drac464 obviously Ronald Richards is a Russian troll-bot. You can almost always tell by syntax and semantics. Even if they try to sound like The Beverly Hillbillies. No offense intended to Beverly or any other hillbillies. Most of my dearest relatives are hillbillies.

  4. At this point I would be surprised if the people’s votes are counted fairly. They are stealing this impeachment corruptly. They will steal your votes as well….

    1. No, the Republican party said that. The Republican party that is paid by our tax dollars betrayed this country today.

  5. US no longer ruled by law. GOP dishonoured their oath. Laughingstock of the world. End of an era.
    Now, give other accused the right to deny witnesses.
