    1. Let us educate ourselves on the wonderful policies of the militant secularist left Shall we! Abortion on demand! Legalized prostitution! Assisted suicide! Public bathroom choice! Lowering the voting age! Open Boarders! Illegal & inmate voter registration! Contraception for middle schoolers! Regulating certain Speech! Abandoning tax exemption for local churches & charitable programs! ECT ECT…. All the while treating peoples traditional standards of virtue & faith as a vestigial appendage to be lopped off and totally discarded from society in celebration! To be mocked Labeled & ignored!

  1. Didn’t Trump say something about “Obama is going to start a war just to stay in power”?

    I guess we now know what Trump’s is going to do just to not get removed from office…

    1. @Ivanka speads for Quincy Jones I have been using Trump’s old tweets as sort of a roadmap to what dumb things he will do/try while keeping the president’s chair warm.

    2. Dave Schultz Hey there bigot Dave! Never going to pull your head out, to be expected. For trumpturds stupid is forever.

    1. @Kevin Mcneil AT LEAST OBAMA WORKED FOR PEACE UNLIKE TRUMP HANDING THE MIDDLE EAST TO RUSSIA ON A SILVER PLATTER PUTIN’S FORCES ARE KILLING OUR ONCE ALLIES IN THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM NOW TRUMP’S ALLOWING TURKEY AND RUSSIA TO COMMIT GENOCIDE AGAINST PEOPLE THAT ALMOST TRUSTED THE US TRUMP HAS BROUGHT NOTHING BUT DEATH AND HAVOC TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND NONE OF OUR ALLIES TRUST TRUMP NOR THE USA OUR ONCE TRUSTED ALLIES WILL NOT COME TO OUR AIDE IF ASKED BECAUSE OF TRUMP RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA HAVE A MEETING OF THE MINDS AND HAVE EXPANDED THEIR NUCLEAR TERROR FURTHER THAN EVER BEFORE AND IDIOTS LIKE YOU MAKE UNINTELLIGENT REMARKS ABOUT THE LIES SEAN HANNITY SPEWS YOU SHOULD CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE

    2. 2020? Thanks to you idiots we have nobody to run against him. Just keep following the dnc and nothing will change. Stupid sheep

    3. @Michael Bennink THEY MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE, IF THEY DON’T CALL WITNESSES THEN THAT IS A SURE SIGN THE SENATE IS CORRUPT AND RIGHT NOW IT DOESN’T LOOK GOOD FOR TRUMP MORE AMERICAN VOTERS SUPPORT TRUMP BEING REMOVED FROM OFFICE SINCE HE HAS BEEN IMPEACHED AND MORE OF TRUMP’S CRIMES COME TO SURFACE AND THE LONGER HE’S IN OFFICE THE MORE THE TRUTH WILL ARISE AND NO PATRIOT SHOULD EVER SUPPORT A PRESIDENTS CRIMINAL ACTS AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES AND DEFILE THE MOST RESPECTED OFFICE IN OUR LAND LIVE BY HONOR OR DIE A COWARD AND TRUMP STARTED HIS LIFE AS A COWARD AND WILL DIE A COWARD

  2. We should have never been there.
    If they were occupying us, we would demand that they leave as well behind the threat of war.
    Trump is absolutely going to take advantage of this. Start a war, institute martial law to with hold the elections.

    1. Gabe Dudley Since the country was destroyed how were people killed by the US military during Trump’s first month in office and continue to be murdered?

    2. @Ima Aven because the obama admin placed its currupt people there. Logic my friend. Let go of your bias and accept it. I wish it were the other way around too but its not.

  3. Nothing to do with the hundreds of thousands killed during the war, no? Of course not, they must love having you over there.

  4. Wasn’t Spanky going to bring the troops home?
    Mexico paying for the wall.
    Better health care.
    Hillary investigated.
    Digging coal.

    1. @Webfoot Trucker The Clinton statement was taken out of context and the context shows Clinton was not being callous about the 4 American deaths, but was trying to move the Committee toward solutions. She followed up with “It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from happening again, Senator.”

      That is just a small taste of what she was expressing. It is a shame that Senator Johnson couldn’t think deeply enough to forswear partisanship.

      So Clinton had little patience with Senators who waste their salary on campaigning on the job. So what? Does it take a woman to understand the value of a pragmatic approach to problem solving? Must we always have these ego battles in Congress?

      Obviously Republicans took as much advantage of the statement as they could. But remember this: They lied and continue to lie everytime it is used incorrectly. They cannot talk about what she actually said without revealing themselves as willing liars. And they have abused you by that lie. Everytime the truth is injured people are mired in a narrative that exploits our collective better nature.

      What she MEANT is the material point. Obviously Trump never gave much thought to his recent bombing in Iraq or to what Hillary was trying to get Congress to think about years ago or even to the actual state of preparedness of the American embassy in Baghdad today. Ironic, isn’t it?

      Opportunities pass away when we allow boneheaded self-interest and arrogant miscalculations to have unmerited authority. You might accept it but a lot of Americans won’t.

    2. @Webfoot Trucker I hope you are not referring to Comey giving his friend a copy of his memorialization of the dinner Trump invited him to – the one in which he asked Comey to give Flynn a pass.

      One of the things citizens who read the impeachment depositions learned was the prohibition against the classification of a government work product if it involved a crime. It is not allowed. If someone has classified such an item it must be declassified. Comey, as an original classifier, knew this. Trump should know it too, as it is right there in the Executive Order Trump relied upon to declassify Nunes and Gowdy’s memo – the one that fell so flat.

      Remember that? Or did YOU not read the depositions? Did YOU not read the lengthy Executive Order or watch the Comey testimony? If you had, you apparently forgot the importance of whether a work product needs to be classified or not is referred first to the ORIGINAL EMPLOYEE CREATING THE DOCUMENT. That would be a man named Comey.

      So Comey had the right to declassify the memorialization as an original classifier. He had the right as the originator. And he had the DUTY under the EO, which has the force of law, NOT to allow it to be classified as he testified he thought Trump was trying to get him to allow Flynn to escape from the consequences of a felony. Just a friendly reminder.

    3. @Cyd Oman comey admitted he lied. You moonbats don’t even believe the criminals are criminals when they admit it. Wow unbelievable gullibility.

  5. Another Trump failure.

    BTW:Once China’s digital currency is up and running, Iran will be able to get by sanctions easier.

  6. This incident demonstrates rather well how weak the US really is. I do wonder if Joe Scarborough really believes what he says on air?

  7. Another broken promise.
    “Bring home the troops”

    At least he managed to be the first POTUS to be Impeached in his first term.
    Enjoy the Impeachment Legacy.

    1. @Albert Green I don’t know if you red what you just posted. In which way this treaty would help Trump? What he did is still illegal

  8. Sounds a WHOLE lot like the US. Proxies in different countries (Libya, Venezuela, etc..). Where is the proof they were Iranian troops? Our does that no longer matter ?

  9. What exactly is Jared doing about all this? 🤔 Oh yeah, that’s right, getting investment deals for his business. Cool cool. 👍

  10. Come on America, we aren’t that uneducated to figure out that the redacted emails was totally a cover up to protect Trump? Come on people! We need a fair trial!!!

  11. @MSNBC Stop being so weird with your posts. You’re the only network on YT that doesn’t properly label your material & the only one that waits a day to post them (in snippets). Commit to your viewers.

  12. Hadi al Amiri, a militia leader identified as one of the organizers of this week’s attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, met with President Barack Obama in the White House in 2011.

    Al Amiri joined a delegation consisting of several top advisers including Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki for the meeting with the former President inside the oval office.
