  1. My momma always said be careful how you treat others, because the people you kick in the head on the way up or while at the top may be some of the same people you meet on the way down or who know enough about you to knock you from your perch.

      Yes, exactly. Bolton is known to have a militant mind set. He’s all for going in with lethal force into
      Afghanistan and Iraq. He was Trumps Security Chief, and Trump is for pulling America out of long drawn out wars. So Trump couldn’t work with him on foreign military matters. He ended up firing him.

      This is a revenge book, sent by Bolton over to The Democrats on Dec 30 th. Before the impeachment in the Senate began. The Democrats could have subpoenaed Bolton as a witness then and added him to their impeachment case but they didn’t. Now they want the Senate to do the subpoenaing through the courts for them. Where’s Parnas told his story and shot through back to Ukraine. Why did he tell that story? because as usual, the FBI grabbed someone for a fairly small crime and pressured him under threat of doing jail time or them getting him a lighter sentence. They did this to two witnesses in the Russia Collusion Investigation.
      That is the illegally held, Russian Collusion investigation. 17 forgeries on the Fisa Application to hold that
      investigation, by the FBI. Never heard too much said about that on this channel. The FBI committing forgery and defrauding the Fisa Court with bogus facts. Now that’s a crime, compared to anything Trump has done.

    1. Eric Roland he has said let them testify, but then he ordered them not to! Can’t you understand that you watch what he does, it’s very different than what he says!

  2. Wait for Trump to scream about national security if Bolton gets called to testify. He will do everything he can to stop it happening. He knows that Bolton is his John Dean in all of this.

    1. There is a loophole if he does claim executive privilege the senate would vote on whether or not it stands. But if they did that it could affect their position in the future. Even the book coming out after could make them look really bad. At this point it really is a coinflip.

  3. Meanwhile, “The constitution is not a suicide pact” has been heard. And mitt Romney is working it behind the scenes.

  4. Wonder if there is a recording of Trump demanding ‘TAKE HIM OUT’…we know Criminal #45 has blathered it.

    1. The best thing is, he claimed Obama had wiretapped the White House… Nope, someone was easily able to get past his staff and record for him 85 minutes with their phone… just imagine what Russia has on the guy

    1. @Gary Ray Cardoso I can’t imagine how much more idiotic a tRumper could be. This impeachment is for the history books. tRump and the tRumpublican traitor trash, will be severely judged by history and dealt with accordingly.

    1. @Professor Groyper do yo actually believe that weiner smoking a$$ sucking tRumpers have some kind of credibility. 😆

  5. “crazy”, or perhaps our govt has been infiltrated by a Russian/Communist agenda. the homework ive done has led me to this conclusion

    1. The Russians, led by their dictator leader, Vladimir Putin, have been infiltrating our country politics since 2015. They operate, secretely and systematically. What angers me is that the Social media is allowing them to influence our elections. It is sooo unamerican!

  6. It’s simple, people—let me explain it. trump is attempting to appoint himself dicktator of the United States. Will he succeed? I guess that’s up to us to decide.

    1. yup, SILENCE IS COMPLICITY. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” (Attributed to Edmund Burke, including by John F Kennedy in a speech in 1961.Aug 25, 2017. )
      because i truly believe this to be true, i dedicate an hour a day on social media between urging people commenting on various sites that they don’t just express their opinions randomly but make their voice heard by our our ever-vote- hungry politicians by emailing, tweeting and/or calling them directly to express their opinion – and then do the same myself. it matters AND is great therapy – i feel less helpless and depressed. give it a try…

    2. Professor Groyper The West was conquered and the Native Americans enslaved with guns and white arrogance. Your gun fetish is nuts. You will never have peace in America until people like you gone. How old are you? If you’re over 40 and without wisdom you’re f…..d.

    3. He will continue down the authoritarian, dictatorial path in order to protect himself from the law and the people. Dictators invariably fear the people they rule over.

  7. The American people want a fair trial with witnesses who heard Trump.
    Call John Bolton and Trump to testify.

    1. @David Lloyd your wrong he doesn’t have the right to block subpeonas or the right to hold millions for a fake investigation into corruption of the bidens which the bidens did NOTHING

    2. @Toni sumblin he is hiding behind “executive privilege” and “national security” but his game is coming to an end

    1. grow2b He most certainly is NOT – all administration staffers are required to sign legally binding nondisclosure agreements snd you can bet that this thug is directing that they be interpreted with unconstrained broadness used as 2x4s of intimidation and to provoke maximum fear of legal consequences, thats what is consistent with this criminal brutish POS aka trump.

    2. @Matt R they only have make sure they dont release classified info but there able to talk about there job and what they experienced as long as it’s not classified
