  1. Baby Donnie’s legacy “WORSE THAN NIXON”… History will show him to be a total aberration of what a President should be.

    1. At least Nixon said the American people deserve to know if their president is a crook. Trump says Article 2 lets him do whatever he wants, investigating him is treason, and if you criticize him, you should leave the country. He literally said these things.

  2. Jim Jordan must really hate this country given the disgusting lengths he is going through to either conceal crimes or condone them. His constituents must be toothless trash.

    1. @Dominus Vobiscum Cypriot banks chum, that’s where the trail starts and stops, go and have a look, Russia owns the Bank of Cyprus, oops. But then you know that cos you’re a Russian troll.

    2. @alanrtment porter Let’s not forget Wilbur Ross, the sleepy gnome Trump installed as Commerce Secretary, has had a deep involvement with Bank of Cyprus, as well as Russian bankers and oligarchs. Handy for Trump.

    1. Chaud Poivron -Indian or no Indian he is an American. You and the GOPs are the cheaters . Just to inform you America belongs to the American Indians otherwise know as the Amerindians. Everybody else came from somewhere. Go learn some history so you can sound intelligent. Just as dump as your president.

    1. @Amy Ahlquist So, it’s against the law to call the cops? Besides, that’s what Democrats did to Trump, during the whole fake “Russian Collusion” scam. “And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” (Romans 2:3, KJV). Democrats have been using false information and false witnesses to dig up false dirt on Trump (and Bret Kavanaught). The Lord Jesus Christ will not let them get away with it.

    1. @Dominus Vobiscum that is why the idea of a democratic society with three separate branches was such an ingenious idea by the forefathers. Each branch holds equal power over the other. When people or states want to fight for their rights which are being infringed by both the legislative and executive branch, they bring it to the attention of the judicial branch to mediate and make a decision.

    2. @Paul Tomlin So why is he still there, they relied on both houses being honest. They didn’t forsee this GOP bunch, who could?

    3. @alanrtment porter That’s the thing. The writers of the Constitution were very concerned about a corrupt and foreign-influenced president. But they failed to envision that a large fraction of Congress would ever be willing to tolerate and protect such a president.

  3. The reason trump yells “treason” is because he is committing treason. Projection. In other words, you caught me so you are guilty of what you caught me doing.

    1. So before we carry on the ignorance of a durp we call lol elected president, first Treason by definition of law was created for and subject to the citizens DURING WARTIME, yet anyone can be charged with it including a president, but its definition is under wartime and giving add to the enemy….
      It’s a lose word everyone uses, yet I think only 1 person was convicted to death by way of treason like in civil war time…
      Just saying
      Even if durpy durps uses it in tweets and media it’s only proof he knows absolutely nothing about law and constitution, something just watching his fake orange face moving spewing nonsense makes true Americans 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

    1. Nixon did tweet everything like a little 12 year old girl…self destructing nitwit is a embarrassing f**k up for the Trumpter GOP Orange nut lickers trying to cover for the low IQ mess infesting the Whitehouse.

    2. @Andy C it will crash and I will save ur post.but there are many people working 2 and 3 jobs.but I live in in deep south fla and plenty on caucasians on food stamps.can I send u pics

    3. Angel mendoza The stock markets due for a correction because markets are cyclical. What’s that have to do with Trump? The industry I’m in can’t find enough experienced labor. They’re offering ridiculous sign-on bonuses. When Obama was in office, they were laying off. Do you want me to send you a picture?

    1. I’ve never seen a campaign slogan abbreviation that can be replace with much more fitting words like this one.👍

  4. Is it enough to remove the President? YES, YES, YES, YES!!!! How on earth could people allow this lawless criminal stay in the White House? It’s absurd.

    1. Speaking at his political party headquarters in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, Poroshenko said that if Trump or his allies had made such a demand, he would have immediately dismissed it. IS HE A LIARE CASE CLOSED BUT STUPID WILL NEVER GET IT

    2. Unfortunately, the President is apparently above the law and cannot be criminally prosecuted, so he can only be judged by US Senate. And since the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming get two senators a piece, despite their low, low populations… Trump wins. Good job, America!
      I wish we sucked less.

    1. @humanforotherhumans Ghouliani was smart and got stupid working for trump and forgot what he stood for. I saw a different man here in NYC when he was Mayor. Now he is just a clusterfuck. WTH!

    2. Speaking at his political party headquarters in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, Poroshenko said that if Trump or his allies had made such a demand, he would have immediately dismissed it. IS HE A LIARE CASE CLOSED BUT STUPID WILL NEVER GET IT

    3. @Mickey Rosa add the divorce proceedings to the Ukraine-gate. How do these 70-years old men keep up with these lies? I wouldn’t be suprised if he ask for political asylum in Crimea.

    1. @Aaron Weiser,since most DEMOCRATS hardly “love trump’s dirty drawers” and MOST ALL AMERICANS show RESPECT for the CONSTITUTION if not outright LOVE. It is for these reasons I directed my comment to REPUBLICANS.

  5. When you boil it down – Trump should be impeached for TREASON:- He sold out US National Security, your security, for a catchphrase that he could use in the 2020 election.

  6. I was shocked to hear Neal say that BFranklin actually used the example “imagine a President using foreign help to win an election” for why impeachment is an ammendment in the Constitution!!

    How incredibly prophetic!!

    Great teacher Neal Katyal 👍👍👍👍

    1. @Tribal Talker From an American perspective… I’m astonished no one’s storming the White House as well! The scariest thing about all of this Trump bs/collective nightmare, for me, is discovering how many of our fellow citizens are so clueless – & proud of it!?! Not the kind of people you should rely on for governing a republic… :-/

    2. @TheRealObamacide If the choice of what”s to be engraved is Trump’s (which obviously it will be), you can be assured that is exactly what it WILL read.

  7. The White House will need to get fumigated and re-painted to restore it’s dignity once Trump and his miscreants are booted out…!!!

    1. its going to have to be tented and fumigated for sure.. for at least a year .get rid of the bedbugs lice and fleas that the Trumps track in with them…..

  8. My major takeaway is that Congress should tell Trump that it’s going to start jailing witnesses who ignore subpoenas.

    1. The problem is that crime is enforced by the Attorney General. In this case the Attorney General is corrupt as well.

    2. @Mac Mcleod Yeah, an AG who ignores subpoenas himself. The chief law enforcement officer in the land. Just friggin lovely.

    1. Agreed. It makes me think this entire show going on is just a distraction. Dems putting up a fight to protect the Constitution only to not put any teeth into enforcing subpoenas. Jail those who are breaking the laws by refusing to comply. Our nation is run by a deep state vs. a syndicated mob boss. We’re no better than the rival drug cartels running Mexico.

    2. I beg to differ, Arthur Radtke. America is infinitely worse than ANY drug cartel! America supplies cartels with their most lethal weapons along with millions of addicts as clientele for their wide variety of drugs!

  9. barr is telling trump he can’t be touched and this emboldens him to not be concerned. This is going to backfire big time!!!

    1. @andrew chambers D.T. has created the whole train wreck, with inhumane policies favouring the rich, the oil, gas and coal producers. He’s only got himself to blame. He doesn’t consult properly with expert counsel.

    2. It’s my understanding that Mr Trump could potentially be impeached at some point (bribery is being discussed) but will never be locked up! This must be how the American legal/justice system operates, vis a vis the President.

    3. @Shams Puri there are several sealed indictments against Trump, jus’ waiting at New York’s Southern District. He could go to jail. He’s a co-offender with Michael Cohen in the campaign finance breach cases. You know, the payoffs to Stormy Daniels, etc., plus there are cases against the Trump Organization, Trump Foundation, in New York. (untouchable by federal influences.) Allegedly.

    4. @Geoff Dodd But Mr Trump may not get tried for these ‘alleged wrongdoings’ as they relate to his personal affairs and a sitting President cannot be indicted for these. But committing bribery in the WH is different as it pertains to jeopardising national interests and impeachment would therefore follow -that’s what the legal experts say, unless it’s wrong!
