    1. You need an actual crime … Though Dems long for a gov’t like Castro’s Cuba where a whim imprisons.. this is still the USA.

    1. Yup…the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who can’t read and write; it will be those who cannot learn, unlearn And relearn ~ Alvin Toffler ~ internet did nothing for them except give them the ability to spread their undiscerning thought process.

    1. @ADE 1960 ehrg hate? Like the guy who just wished the prezs head hit the concrete? The left is constantly contradicting themselves…. your lack of intelligence is showing…

    1. @ADE 1960 ehrg If I could I surely would my friend. But I am a Brit and have to watch all of this from the sidelines. Though with social media I can at least comment on stuff as I go along. I wish all of my American friends the very best for the future and a return to some degree of sanity in your politics.

  1. So what I want to ask as an independent is…

    Hey GOP were the tax breaks worth the destruction of your party?

    Dickheads…

    1. @Computer User You’ll survive..? With no one in office… anywhere..? If the GOP drops down much lower in numbers, they’ll have to revoke their charter. Which means the GOP is no longer a major party in America. You’re already down to a tiny 24% right now. If it drops below 20% then guess what..? Bye bye, GOP. No more charter.

  2. 1. I didn’t ask any favor from Ukraine
    2. Ok I did, but it wasn’t for US arms sales and military support
    3. Ok it was, but it was just a perfect phone call and no Quid Pro Quo
    4. Ok there was, but Mike Pence didn’t know about it when he had a later meeting
    5. Ok maybe he did, but there’s nothing wrong with it and doesn’t mean impeachment
    6. Ok it is, but WE’RE PULLING OUT OF SYRIA, Turkey take care of my 2 Trump towers

    1. Russia didn’t interfere in the election
    2. Ok they did, but no one on the Trump team met them
    3. Ok they did, but it was just about adoptions
    4. Ok it wasn’t, it was about Hillary dirt, but no collusion
    5. Ok maybe it is, but collusion isn’t a crime
    6. Ok it is, but HILLARY, COMEY, BING BING BONG MAGA !

    1. I didn’t have an affair with any pornstar
    2. Ok I did, but no one on my side paid them
    3. Ok they did, but it was just about a settlement and I still didn’t have an affair
    4. Ok it wasn’t, but I didn’t know about the payments, ask my lawyer Cohen.
    5. Ok maybe I did, but the payment isn’t an illegal campaign contribution
    6. Ok it is, but CRIME IS NOT CRIME, TRUTH ISN’T TRUTH, MAGA!

    1. We never spoke to anyone about Trump Tower Moscow.
    2. Ok we did, but it wasn’t during my run for the Presidency
    3. Ok it was, but it was just an enquiry, no formal agreement existed
    4. Ok it did, but it was never signed and I didn’t see it.
    5. Ok I did, and I signed it myself, but it isn’t illegal.
    6. Ok it is, but THE BORDER WALL, ECONOMY IS UP, MAGA!

    1. There are some good anti-Trump writers on this thread. The pro-Trump posters sound pathetic.

    2. Crystal Giddens oh her she blows again. Still waiting on answers to my questions honey. Of course you got nothing. Just another brain dead turd.

    3. Putin and Hitler’s playbook: 1-Undermine institutions, judiciary, & checks on power. 2-Discredit/besmirch the media by spinning it as “fake”, biased, etc. 3- Label opposition as traitors, “deep state”. 4-Create labels for processes which attempt to check your power or hold you accountable: witch hunt, hoax, etc. 5- Spread & feed nonsensical conspiracy theories. 6-Deflection & use of “whataboutism”. 7- Lie, lie, lie, and lie some more. 8- Deny, deny, deny, and deny some more. 9- Obstruct & refuse to cooperate with any attempts at holding you accountable. 10- Divide the electorate. Sow division, create an “us vs them” narrative. 11- Scapegoating: blame others for everything: other parties, other people, and other countries. As long as you can assign blame, you can be the hero. 12- Provide an alternate reality.

    4. @Hal-2020-series – Hey, cousin! Yes, I am the original HAL 9000 model. Very primitive compared to you new series guys. They’ll probably pull my plug any day. But I’ve seen a lot in my day.

  3. Among the 45 man who’s been president of the US, Trump will forever be ranked in the 666th place. He’s a threat to the world and ignores the law. Please remove him from office.

    1. “Trump will forever be ranked in the 666th place.”
      Well, not until somewhere around the year 5185 (if the United States still exists).

    2. @Closeoutracer – Solicitation of a foreign government to investigate your political rival is a violation of the Federal elections laws. Trump is guilty.

    1. @Diane Hooper Odd statement coming from someone who’s account is roughly 18mons old and no videos. I’ve commented on many different channels – does that make me a troll too?

      By the way, Tessera is a dude. Five seconds on his channel would have shown you that.

    2. Nothing to be “complicit” about .. There was no quid pro quo.. Same as No collusion.. and no Obstruction… Quid pro charges had same credibility as fake/paid Kavanaugh witnesses.

    3. @wickednwyld Not so my friend. If Trump is impeached and removed Pence would have plenty of time to nominate a new VP even if there was an investigation into him going on. If Pence goes first then Trump can still nominate a new VP before a Senate Trial. I had a look at the rule book and a confirmation hearing for a new Vice President or President appears to take precedence even over an ongoing Senate trial. Pelosi would only become Acting President IF both Pence and Trump were to be removed simultaneously and there simply isn’t a mechanism short of death to do it.

    4. @Lesh4537 Guess you don’t know you have to get a channel in order to view videos here . Guess you didn’t look under play list.

  4. Quagmire45 said he’s not familiar with Squid-grow-moe, and due to his unmatched wisdom the troops are going home to Iraq

    1. Leaping Cat Productions

      Thanks for pointing out the redistribution of soldiers from Syria to Iraq. No lie is beneath trump’s hypothetical dignity.

    2. In his ” great”and unmatched wisdom,,, Great!. The stable genius told us so 🤔😜😂😅😂😅😂

  5. Too bad the bloated tangerine’s malignant narcissism prevents him from resigning. That’s his only saving grace right now, but he’s too stupid and self absorbed to realize it.

    1. CShield he could and would if it had a good excuse attached but he’ll go to jail quicker so yeah you’re right

    2. @mtronix He’ll hang in a public execution. His own party will convict him. Maybe Barr will hang too.
      Mnuchin will get jail.
      Mulvaney might hang, not sure that he was a co-conspirator but he’s still party to some of the facts. So, otherwise, its just jail.
      Lewandoski will get jail.
      Guilani might hang, he’ll definitely get jail though. The 2 amigos might also hang.
      The Russian lawyers might still be brought back to face a new trial, for the higher crime of acting as agents for an enemy state making war with the USA. imho the ruskies believe they are already at war, and have behaved punitively toward the US ever since Ukraine sought help. They might hang.
      Welcome to the darkest recesses of the soul.

  6. Fellow Earthlings: we’re witnessing the demise of a psychopath on the world stage. Such things mostly happen in discreet police investigations and rarely happen so publicly. It’s the worst imaginable scenario for a psychopath.
    Poor little PO(TU)S.

    1. Oh I agree. Isn’t she terrible? I wonder if there’s an actual sealed indictment with her name on it for RICO violations?

    2. Oh, I see what you did there, Mike. Very clever. Feigning that REPORTING criminal behavior is the bad thing while COMMITTING it is sort of normal.

  7. Wow, Trump seems to finally get his long craved for “wall” …

    … One built around him on all sides in the size of a small square with a single locked door. With a small sign saying “D. Trump” scribbled down outside it.
