    1. REALLY 😱 when ?? I don’t think so!!!!! They just want to make people think they are going to and that he’s doing something wrong so they can sway the votes in 2020! what a joke!!!!!😂😂😂😂

    1. @McKittrick Hyatt – ‘Good’.
      In Asian history, seppuku was/is the *only way* to save your family’s name from *utter* disgrace.

    1. the russian “collusion” is a myth, and, it is SO passe’…it is PUBLIC RECORD that the whole “collusion” thing was initiated by a FISA warrant that was based in nothing but fiction. PUBLIC RECORD.

  1. Good.
    Even if it is to save their own hide, it shows that even Trump’s sycophants aren’t willing to die for him on his words.

    They are still getting voted out at next election though.

  2. Trump needs to work on his vocabulary. (among other things)
    “Lynching” “Witch hunt” “Hoax” “Fake” “I” “Me” “Genius” “Perfect”

    1. Whatever the problem is, Trump finds a way to blame others. Trump’s tactic of blame is especially aimed at Allies, media, press, google, President Obama, Madam Clinton, and democrats who he blamed for almost every issue and does this relentlessly.

    2. First of all, Black people do not own the word lynching.  People all over the world since the beginning of humanity have experienced lynch mobs and lynching – not just blacks!!  People who were accused of crimes were often dragged out of their jail cells and hung.  And yes, this included many white people too.  Black people think they own every word and they are the only ones that have been persecuted.  Give me a break!

    3. @Uniqueness Entertainment Do not anthropomorphise a non sentient life form. Trump uses those words because his vocab is near dead. Oranges of the Russia probe.

    1. @Political Overload that’s funny because president trump sounds just like Danny Davis and Gregory Meeks in 1998 both were black Democrats and both said the impeachment of Clinton was a political lynching. They must be racist against themselves. The Democrats and msnbc are hypocrites

    1. Sean Breen — Trump is an asset. All his “arguments” are fallacy. He gets mileage out of them because few people have attained emotional majority to see through his narratives. Anybody who has survived personal gas-lighting, however, knows his game from the inside out.

    2. Emma Bradford As much as I would love to believe he is only an asset I think people are not giving him enough credit. I don’t think he’s that stupid to be played by the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin, not for 30 years! He came back from Russia in 1987 as a strong advocate and has never been more committed to anything else other than his claims that Obama wasn’t born in America and he could see his base supporters cheering on the rooftops in New Jersey on Sept. 11th. Over the last three decades more Russian money has been laundered through Deutsche bank and his failed hotels across the world than any American has spent on Trump. He was investigated during the Bush administration for his involvement with Moscow during the 2000 elections, the only reason why more people don’t know about it is because he was investigated under the controversial Patriot Act. This guy didn’t just trip and fall into a Russian conspiracy, he stepped into the fight for them when we thought we won the Cold War. He’s Russia’s last great hope at defeating America and he’s doing a good job.

    1. Can we show republicans what lynchings is ?
      There is plenty of cherry trees (round 3750) in DC , so every republicans can get their own tree where to hang .

    1. ruth depew: Graham is compromised and thinks his loyalty to Trump will prevent total destruction of his life

    2. LADY LINDSEY IS SCARED TO DEATH OF BEING VOTED OUT OF OFFICE. I PRAY HIS VOTERS WAKE UP AND VOTE HIM OUT. JOHN MCCAIN WOULD NO KNOW THIS CREEP

    1. @Bigg Droop Anyone who doesn’t agree with the left is either a racist, facist, nationalist or a russian asset, see a pattern here.
