    BREAKING NEWS

    Kurt Volcker testified before the Impeachment committee Tuesday, that Joe Biden had great integrity, and the claims against him are crap, as well as declaring Ukrainian election interference in 2016 is a LIE! Let's remember that Volcker, and Morrison are repub witnesses called by House repubs. This is different from his closed door testimony that the investigations wanted by the dufus from the Ukraine government were legitimate corruption probes.

    Vindman, Williams, Volcker, and Morrison all testified the phone call to Zelenskiy was inappropriate and they reported it to the NSA counsel as such, bolstering the dem claim of bribery and extortion by the dufus. So where do repubs and dufus sycophants go from here?

    Why, they keep hollering foul to the dems as they've been doing! What else can you do when there is no defense for the bad criminal dufus behavior.

    Kurt Volcker is an old Republican hack from way back: Why in the world would you believe ANYTHING he had to say? Kurt Volcker wouldn't know "GREAT INTEGRITY" if "GREAT INTEGRITY" grew a mouth and four legs and walked up and bit him in his arse!

    I find it funny that people will yield support to a despicable political hack like Kurt Volcker today when yesterday they would have condemned Kurt Volcker for being a bastard RIGHT WING LOONEY TUNER!

    Why involve yourselves in exercises in futility? Even if the Repelicans hate TRUMP they are not going to impeach him. No politician voluntarily lets the other party win. The Demonrats are doing this because they have no power to do anything else. Should the Repelicans yield to their inferior intellect? It is a bad idea. However bad Trump might be, they don't have a viable alternative

    Never played a team sport? Winning means everybody does their job. It doesn't matter what the senate does, but the House should just do it's job. Even still the team could lose against a better team, but you still have to give it your best shot don't you? Our system has such guidelines and there are always alternatives. That's why we have a prez, VICE prez, and order of succession for any contingency. One thing these hearings have borne out is the dufus keeps everybody in the dark about what he is doing, and with who and is pretty glib for a non experienced politician, but as a mob boss he is particularly skilled.

    He would make a great dictator too.

    I do think Trump is "instinctual" about things, life, in general: Known people like this before in my life....one of my four brothers has this "knack", he went through Vietnam "unscathed"....they were "More lucky than good" types but they always seemed to land upright.....I'm not that way but those that are always captured my imagination: Why were they that way?

    You don't have to have an invasion to be a dictator, or even bomb someone just get the power to stamp out all the opposition in your country. He does that with his daily diatribe of putting everyone down that opposes him.

    That is part of the problem Clete, the dufus has been replacing skilled and experienced workers with people who are loyal to him and will do his bidding and that is the mark of a wanna be dictator who has to destroy and disrupt the functions of the existing structures and institutions before that can be accomplished.

    While the House gets it's report together for the judiciary commitee to form what charges will be filed you think the dufus can just be quiet? Naw that's impossible, but a whole lot of otehr things can surely be "leaked" about the dufus sycophants. I was shocked when I looked up CROWDSTRIKE a company the dufus wanted Zelenskiy to investigate was an AMERICAN cyber security firm that has a multitude of fortune 500 companies as clients, including the Republican National Committee.

    Further evidence that the dufus doesn't know what he is talking about, or worse, he is determined to get Vlad off the hook for serial cyber attacks on several countries, most notably the US.

    How much more evidence do you need the media has the evidence to convict him and you don't need a House vote or a senate vote. Trump is guilty, but of what, since this isn't a court of law.

    1) The "Origins of the Russia Investigation" report is coming out from Barr
    2) Inspector Horowitz's report is coming out
    3) The Senate's "COUNTERSTRIKE" Impeachment Trial is being planned as I write this....The SENATE WILL CALL UP ALL THE IMPEACHMENT "WITNESSES" and Hunter Biden and OLD BIDEN and what they will do to them will be disgusting!

    So, like always: You push Trump and he will pick up a baseball bat and bust your head....one day, the left will finally get this registered in their thick skulls: Trump will always have the last laugh.

    W.G.: The Senate Trial of the Congress' IMPEACHMENT will be a grand stage setting having little to nothing to do with Trump's guilt or innocence but more to do with the presentation of a platform to showcase the vast left wing conspiracy that was set in motion to take Trump's Presidency down. There are several Senators who are salivating in the anticipation of interrogating Hunter Biden and OLD Biden on the Senate floor in order to bring to light their dirty dealings in Ukraine. Additionally, there will be much more to come as the Senate Trial will surely have access to evidence gathered from the Attorney General's Office.

    THIS SENATE TRIAL WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY! While I support the truth coming out, as well as the exposure or any conspiracy to overturn Trump's Presidency, I don't think the country needs this to Senate "Trial", outside of a Guilty or "Not Guilty" vote....all the "extra" grilling and bloodletting that will surely ensue as Repub Senators take "revenge" on the left will only serve to further divide the country: WE NEED HEALING RIGHT NOW, NOT MORE DEVISIVENESS!

    If the congress cannot compel Mulvaney, Bolton, and Pompeo, or Rudy, AND the dufus to testify, or appear for a deposition, then how do you think the Bidens will testify? A senate trial is a heavy lift for the dems in the house for sure, but I'm sure the case will be made and be compelling and expose the dufus and his bad behavior and high crimes and misdemeanors.

    If one person is a conspiracy, what is the dufus and his administration spreading Vlad propaganda, and extorting political favors from foreign government officials? Where is your evidence or probable cause for investigating the Biden's, or why did the dufus go outside official channels to do so? If the dufus has done nothing wrong, why does he order his flunkies not to testify in front of a duly elected congress. So while I can appreciate your concerns and convictions your words and actions don't exactly match.

    Biased? Maybe a bit leaning definitely right or in favor of the lying cheating dufus. By the way the dems are going by the constitution and exercising the obligation to inquire to see if the dufus has overstepped his authority and committed high crimes or misdemeanors and the repubs will have and do have the opportunity to exercise theirs, as it seems the conspiracy lies with the dufus, and seems to be a long line of them and a multiple cases can be made for obstruction on many levels.

    As many investigations and hearings as HC went through I know repubs can't be hollering that loud though true wingers are always hollering. Feel free to elaborate so I can stop thinking you sound like those loony right wingers and just nutty but not BIASED.
