Someone on Twitter said her Trump friends are actually depressed right now. Best news I've heard in ages.
EDIT: Wow lotta replies. I meant to say her pro-Trump friends, lol.
You should see them on faux fox. tucker & hannity look suicidal. Gunna give ingham a welfare check 😂😂😂
@@mikaylabansie9512 😁👍
Noooo... don't let them cry 😭... they can testify for Trump if they want to... which comes with a very special "Go to Jail for free" card 💳
Does he really have friends?
Everything in his life is transactional. I think he just has people whose friendship benefits him. They're chosen strategically because they make him look important by association, or he might need to use them some day. Or both.
He makes people complicit in things they wouldn't otherwise do, to protect himself--even if it means potentially ruining their career, their reputation, and their other relationships.
Maybe their freedom.
that really is a good sign... that means, that the actually start to listen to the facts... VERY good direction! Then we can finally share ONE reality again :)
As much as I dislike Sondland's role in the whole scheme, at least he was smart enough to know when to call it quits lol
Yes, but being a reluctant witness, that is holding back and having to be baby stepped, after lying in sworn testimony twice, may not keep him out of prison.
At least, we can hope not...
He was smart enough to realize Trump is gonna throw him under the bus the moment it was convenient.
He saved himself from potential jail time.
He's the FBI informant both sides hate.
Loved the part where he said the quid pro quo was just a presumption on his part. Week Two, and still no evidence of a crime implicating the president!
Watching Sondland name names and drag everyone down with him on the sinking ship is extremely satisfying
Totally Agree with you!
It's like "oh no no no no, i ain't goin alone. I'm taking you bitches with me!"
Agreed 💯💯😄😄👏👏👏
Why Sonland say there is no qud pro quo?
@@fhj5830 He categorically didn't. Stop getting your news from Fox.
Well, that explains Perry's sudden resignation. Probably getting his affairs in order.
“Everyone was in the loop.” Just let that sink in.
I did! It's bad. Republicans pls turn around, better late then never.
Everyone!! That includes Pompeo and Pence!!!
You know it's gonna be a good holiday season when the entire upper echelon of this corrupt administration is finally implicated on record! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody!
@@JeanetteFaith ...Can we have a duel impeachment? trump AND pence...hello Mrs. President Pelosi and watch about a million republican heads literally explode at the same time.
That just makes them look worse!
Sondland dropped more names then Tahani on The Good Place.
That is so funny, I am going to share your comment with my godfather Barak Obama
or rogelio on Jane the virgin
aww,,,that shows last season,,,
Best comment ever!!
AKA Wilkey I don't think there's any chance of Sondland going to The Good Place! LOL LOL
When will Sharpie finally come out and denounce the president's use of their products for his illegal purposes?!?
😝😝😝
Probably just as soon as the GOP.
Courage Karnga Good one.
Civil Villain , unfortunately they need all the help they can get, better options out there in my opinion
Yeah, Trumps giving Sharpie a bad name.
I resent that characterization of Trump. The bobcat is a noble and beautiful animal.
"I am not a crook."
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
"No Quid Pro Quo."
This!! 👏👏👏
Perfect.
Nailed it
Haha. Yes!
Gottem
Nice to see the rats scurrying off a sinking ship.
Jim's videos I know, right? Finally!! :)
The problem is they're not. People are still trying to defend this stuff. Ambassador Sondland is trying to protect himself from going to jail.
They'll drown too.
Now that the GOP is on defense, America will witness just how deplorable the cult of Trump (COT) can go. It's gonna get ugly, folks.
The trump tanic is sinking.
Sondland saw that bus coming, and decided to push first is all.
New Message Trump: “there is no bus! This is fake news!”
Jump first.
I really hope when this is all over, somebody looks at Trump and says, "Mr. Trump, you're fired."
Why are they locking up all the Democrats on Kip Simpson (TH-cam).
I really hope when this is all over, somebody looks at Trump and says, "Mr. Trump, you're fired.
5 years is a long time for you to wait.If I am a Democratic strategist, I am at least a little bit worried about the new Marquette Law School survey showing President Trump winning Wisconsin in hypothetical match-ups against top-tier 2020 Democratic primary candidates.
Let's have a Lotto for it !!!
@@nedstewart1 facts!!!
for what? ;) there was no scheme. Your sondlands testimony was as worthless as a sack of toe nail clippings th-cam.com/video/EnEWYilDgcg/w-d-xo.html the stupidity and gullibility of you left is laughable haha please do fall deeper into insanity as your sides only testimony is blown away in the storm of absolute truth
Has anyone else noticed this is our third Closer Look this week? I’m not complaining, I’m thrilled!
StarWine I love love them!
StarWine T'was foretold in the ancient prophecies that we will have an increasing number of closer looks before the downfall of the orange tyrant. A week shall come where we have 5. And that will be the end of it.
I'm overjoyed!
I feel like we're getting one a day for this whole hearing
Depression Beard I’m not sure how we’d get five. Seth is only on Monday-Thursday, but that would be great.
"Just following orders" why does that sound familiar???
Pibe Gonzalez Nazi Germany?
Chilling familiar and common
We follow orders or people die, am I'm clear? Crystal. A few good men.
Because trump's a neo Nazis?
Nuremberg Trials
"We were just following the orders of the President"---Are we watching impeachment of Trump or the Nurenberg trials?
Oh, like you'll hang any of these traitors and war criminals.
@@thehellyousay true.
Well, given that this administration also has Nazis in it (e.g. Stephen Miller) ...
Shocking how close we came isn't it?
Hopefully we learn our lesson this time
Well, Trump is stupid Hitler...
Sondland is a man who's realized he donated a million dollars just to have his reputation trashed, is about to be thrown under the bus for following orders and he's not having it . He's just parked Spankys bus on the train track , gotten off taking the keys with him. That look is for Spanky through the glass as the horn sounds .
Except he said he said he didn't ever actually get any orders
Can we all stop saying quid pro quo? Its extortion. Plain and simple.
Instead of "Whistle Blower", how about "Patriot", “Honorable Citizen", "Honest Person", or “Soldier of the Constitution"?
@@Peter_S_ whistle blower sounds like such a negative term
@@JalebJay That's your perception when in reality the whistleblower is exposing those who affect the country negatively. It's positive, not negative.
@@Peter_S_ you are so right.
Instead of "President" how about "a$$hole"? Keeping it real.
Sondland looks so smug during this entire hearing. In his mind "time to dodge prison"
in his defense, I think that was probably nerves, given what he actually said and the way he spoke carefully to make sure every word was understood..but, yeah, he definitely looked smug.
Actually he consistently implicated himself. It was he thought probably "if im going down im taking all of them with me."
That was exactly my thought
ironside31 that or he copped a deal for his cooperation in the impeachment proceedings
I think he is thinking presidential pardon.
I am glad Nunes finally had nothing stupid to say. Jordan needs to take Nunes' example and stop embarrassing himself.
You didn't watch the hearing, nuñez was pushing the whole hunter Biden thing again. And he still defended trump.
@@javierrck18 still haven't heard a question or answer as to why the military aid was even on hold to begin with from republicans. Sondland gave a vague answer and just said a reason was never given to me about it.
Have to strongly disagree
And his state.
@w9j15g I know he spoke today... I heard most of it. After Sondland finished his testimony today, Schiff then asks Nunes if he wants to speak and he says "no" and looks over at Jordan. They really had nothing to say after Daniel Goldman questioned Sondland (0:38)
Say it with me now, A Narcissist's Prayer:
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did...
You deserved it.
Dope.
Nailed it. Only line missing is... They did it first.
When dealing with one in person, please remember your rights:
You have the right to remain stoic. Everything sincere you say and do, can and will be used to manipulate and torture you, for their enjoyment.
_You deserved it._
Well, admittedly, anyone who could have voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 but didn't actually do so _does_ deserve all of this. But not those of us who did our civic duty. And not the rest of the world, either.
great summation, lol
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a republican to grow a spine.
Good one 😉
And the extra irony as they are the party claiming ownership of the Bible.
* politician. I hate the GOP, but some among the corporate democrats are just as cowardly.
@@yourdogtrainer and are in the NRA's pocket. Isn't is weird how the primary platform points divided between the two parties so they would get split votes right down the middle?
Hm, yeah, I think you are probably right.
This whole administration has been a joke from the beginning. A joke that has lasted far too long 😒
It was NEVER funny.
Just wait til they get to the punchline.
Thanks to people like Pelosi and Schumer. Should have started impeachment proceedings immediately after the Mueller report
JonathanNeilRhodes I’m glad they waited. Now he will be crushed.
No no babe, jokes are funny. This administration looked sad.
I’m glad the republicans made this a public hearing so everyone can witness this disgraceful behavior made themselves
Now from what i heard they want it closed doors
And the Republicans ask for it to be public... the dummies
S except for Trump supporters. And even if they do one day understand and accept that he broke FEC law yet again, they will see it as so insignificant because they feel like they’ve been losing a culture war for 50 years and Trump is likely their last hope
If they ever make a “dramedy” about the impeachment hearings, they HAVE to cast Jeff Ross as Sondland.
Perfect!
I think Sondland would want to play himself. LoL
Of course Nunes sharted, he sharts every time he opens his mouth to talk.
Man, he pissed me off. He sat there attempting to say that an opinion piece in the Ukraine was the same as interferring in an election...Ugh, such a dumb argument for anyone, let alone someone in government.
Recall that Devin Nunes used to be a dairy farmer (hence there is(was?) a Twitter account called :Devin Nunes' Cow").
The GOP hypocrisy is so blatant...the name Nunes. Sure, sounds vaguely Hispanic, actually is of Portuguese origin.
In Spanish might be spelled "Nunez". Really, why does Devin carry water for tRUMPski von Putin? Is Nunes' family being held hostage or something???
Ben Younger...What do you expect he's head and shoulders up trumps ass 24/7 along with Graham, Moscow Mitch, Barr, Jordan and Gaetz and the rest of the republican's in Congress. VOTE BLUE 2020
Fartgate means nothing to me. Nunes’ willingness to place self above nation does.
Now you got me thinking South Park...
Why did Drumpf go to the optometrist?
He feared he was losing 2020
Because he keeps making a spectacle of himself
🤦
😂
Top tier Dad joke 👍
"He feared" is not needed here.
And he used to be a democrat.
“I want to be a foreign ambassador.”
“What are your qualifications?”
“Here’s a million dollars for you.”
“Thank you, Ambassador.”

Another ignorant Gruber puke/ Obamas donors were made ambassadors. STFU you ignorant punk.

@@coolazul-ic9km something triggered you ... Yes ALL incoming Presidents replace the previous President's politically appointed ambassadors. Previous Presidents replaced 1/3 with political appointees and so far Trump has replaced over 1/2 with political appointees, then there is the fact that in his entire administration, 1 in 14 of Trump's political appointees are former lobbyists, which has been unheard of in any previous administrations. Most recently this scandal made headlines:
""Leaked email: Trump ambassador pick offered RNC $500,000 for confirmation vote - Billionaire donor Doug Manchester vowed $500,000 RNC donation in exchange for "majority vote" on his confirmation
By Igor Derysh November 18, 2019 10:30PM (UTC)
President Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to the Bahamas was involved in a “possible pay-for-play scheme” involving the Republican National Committee, according to a CBS News investigation.
Doug Manchester, a billionaire hotel developer who likes to be called “Papa Doug,” was offered the Bahamas post one day after Trump’s inauguration. Manchester donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. Trump told the billionaire, “I should probably be the ambassador to the Bahamas and you should be president,” Manchester told CBS.""

You don't pay a million to be an ambassador to not know an opportunity when you see one.

Who could recognize a quid pro quo better that the guy who got his ambassadorship for a million dollars?

Touche.
so obvious i neglected to consider, thanks!
GOOD ONE!!
Oo.. I hadn't even considered that.
The face of Nunes represents the republican's defense on this case
@Rob C Ditto...
That's what stunned and stupid looks like...
I want to shake some sense into him.
He's obviously not very savvy to know that people who serve on boards of directors are usually from a variety of businesses unrelated to that company.
He's just not very bright.
I hope to see him make that face again when he is tried and convicted for obstruction of justice.
Unfortunately, it also represents Ohio.
"I do not want a quid pro quo" is a totally normal thing for a human being to say. Except it has never been uttered by any human being in the history of the world until now.
Same as "This was a perfect phone call".
you're right about that,
The only way one can say "I don't want quid pro quo" is if quid pro quo had been a subject matter in a conversation.
No one, out of the blues, blurts, "I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo"
Makes absolutely no sense...
But it's hilarious!
The look on Nunes' face is almost precious. I didn't know he was capable of mimicking human expressions beyond sniveling and false indignation.
And yet you still support genital mutilation.
Signed, sealed and delivered. At the end, Sonland glared into the camera like, "Take THAT Mr. Perfect mofo."
Trump: "I hardly know the guy.." What, he gave me a million bucks and I appointed him to be ambassador to the EU? Nope, never heard of him.
@NotGonnaTell MyName Donald Trump in the White House is like a 12 year old in an air traffic control tower running around pushing buttons. - Anonymous
Plus he had maybe 20 calls with Sondland.
That was lie number 7334... similar to "Roger Stone had nothing to do with my campaign!" Or "I don't know Matt Whittaker!"

Greets from #dobermann 😀👍

This is turning out to be one big 'A Few Good Men' scenario :D Trump definitely didn't order a Code Red on Private Santiago, he specifically said No quid pro quo during a conversation on it, clearing himself of all guilt tremendously. That's what you do when you're completely innocent of what it is you're using the negative of. I often tell grocers I'm not planning on robbing them, hence I have so many Customer of the Year awards in my prison cell.
We need him on that wall, and it needs to protected by men with tweets. Semper fib.
@@DobermannJeff 👨🏿🧒🏿👦🏿
Gordon Sondland didn't want to go to prison like Roger Stone.
Yeah, he dropped a million bucks to travel all over Europe on the taxpayers dime, not go to prison.
Sondland is a billionaire. He paid 1M$ to travel over Europe for free? Really? Do you know how much travel you can buy with 1M$? Your comment makes no sense.
@@mmodnao It makes sense if you understand what an ambassador does. He doesn't pay for anything, maybe a meal once in a while. Travel, meals and a place to stay comes from taxpayer money. So he doesn't have to spend his cash.
So true this is his third time up lawyer must have given him up...
@@vernhoke7730 Don't forget the primary thing that really rich people want...Other people kissing their asses. I'd guess diplomatic immunity is a fair reason for wanting it also. Primarily the prestige of it though.
It's funny Nunes wants to take a break because he was so nervous and complains that Schiff went to let the press know what just happened
If I were the GOP, I'd be nervous too.
This is why there needs to be a psych evaluation before we nominate anyone for office yet alone for the presidency.
The cartoonist Scott Adams said many times before the election that Trump's narcissism and greed would make him the perfect president because if you are a narcissistic leader then the only way to look good is to be a really good leader, right?
Right?
So whoever does the psych evals I hope they don't share those opinions.
I am going to applaud Ambassador Sondland. I don’t think anyone would be able to live with themselves if not for forgiveness. He really rubbed the GOP the wrong way. I was delighted with his sarcastic answers to Jordan. I believe at least a part of him was sickened by what Trump was trying to do. Trump still has a lot of power and the rank and file GOP are cowards. Terrified cowards. I think if they turned on Trump they would be hailed as patriots. Trump has no sense of decency therefore he would do everything to destroy anyone who turns on him-just like a mob boss.

"I just turned off the television". No, Donnie. You kept watching. That's how you "remembered" what you said on the phone.

Some Nazis got off because the U.S. and the USSR both knew the space race was going to define who will rule the world. And it's ironic that the U.S. and Russia are still in our everyday news.
Sondland's T shirt: I paid a million bucks and almost got a jail sentence.
😆😆😆. Nice 1 👍.
That is what I have been thinking about. Sondland is a GOP mega donor. He is in the current trouble he's in because the the GOP and the Trump admin wanted to reward him for his support. Yet if they don't handle that situation with some kind of tact, other mega donors and friends of Sondland might very well start to think "there but for the grace of God go I". It would be all too easy for other donors to see themselves ending up somehow caught up in GOP troubles, illegalities, whatever, and start to want to put some distance between themselves and the party. Which would mean perhaps decreasing support. Besides plain not liking the way Sondland is being treated. Or Rex Tillersen was.
Which may explain this sudden urge that billionaires have to jump in on the Democrat side of politics.
I never would be working in the government, if I was rich enough to buy a position.
What is the motivation for a billionaire to do something like this?
Sonderland, DeVos ... They could lean back and have a comfortable life on a remote island or yacht.
Or is it an ego-trip?
He bought himself these shenanigans. This is some expensive drama.

Yes, unlikely, but would be ironic. I believe Barr is the whistleblower.

He really is a terrible president, in literally every way someone could be terrible. He's even shaped terribly.
At least, through sheer incompetence, he is very transparent.
@@PersonalPariah I don't know about that completely. Imagine the things we dont know. Can you even imagine?
What incompetence is that Gruber?
Thank you. I will borrow this if I may?
@@coolazul-ic9km and again......the Donald was handed a great economy. The economy has been on an upward trajectory since 2009 and the unemployment numbers have been on a downward trajectory for the same amount of time. The Donald had little to do with the state of the economy......he just hasn't screwed it up.......yet. He has, however, removed steps that were taken to keep the same thing from happening again as well as removing environmental protections

The sex moan track is the best though....
The worst best movie of all time
Haha. Gold.
I just love the fact that Sondland threw all these criminals in the administration under the bus! He gave them a huge taste of their own medicine, and it was amazing!
I guess Sondland knew that Trump was only two moves away from firing him and decided to act first...
Meh, I watched the actual hearing. Your side isn't reporting about how Sondland walked his opening statement back and admitted that everything he said was an assumption... and that nobody ever told him there was a Quid Pro Quo in place. In fact, he also testified that he was expressly told that there wasn't a quid pro quo by the president. So really you are being duped by the media who aren't reporting the entire facts. So sorry for you.
You seriously can't be this stupid? My god this is hilarious!
@@user-wi9nq8oo4u I understand why you think so. Since the media isn't really reporting the facts that come out of this in favor of the president. I watched the whole hearing. I guess you are hearing exactly what you wish to believe... and the world is all puppies and rainbows for you. Enjoy your fantasy.
@@opendoorgames6413 OK Mr. Alternate Truth. All of Trump's thousands of lies can be fact checked and verified. Who lives in a fantasy ? I am sure we have all met dimwit in our lives but trump supporters really are the best of the best. Still waiting on Trump supporter defenses that doesn't involve attacking credible and highly respected witnesses.
Remember when the worst scandal involving the Obama's was him wearing a tan suit?
What about Mustardgate though?
Well you're also forgetting that time he went on a bicycle ride with his family and wore... A helmet.
Oohh...the good old days!!

Remember when Obama gave hundreds of guns to criminals?
"I'm always in a good mood!" Cried the manbaby while in the midst of having a meltdown.

At least he saved his dignity.

Everyday is a devastating day to the Trump presidency.
Trump is devastating to the Trump presidency...
And the general population.
Every day is a devastating day to the country under the Trump presidency
Every day of the Trump presidency is devastating to the US and the world, except for Russia who is getting everything they ever wished for.
That's because he's too stupid to quit while he's ahead.
Sondland carrying the expression like the guy who had offloaded his Titanic ticket and has just heard the iceberg newsflash.
Its a horrible cliche" but so frigging true. "You elect a clown...You get a circus"
Time for this circus to come down big time!
"There is no loyalty among criminals". They are the fastest flippers there are. How many are now "under the bus"? 🚌🚌🚌
I really don't get these people's loyalty to Trump... He has proven that he will throw anybody and everybody under the bus without exception, if he thinks it might give him ahead start running away from criminal charges. Hell, he'd throw anybody under the bus just to avoid bad ratings
In pro wrestling lingo, this was a burial.
I've been a prosecutor for 16 years, and you are absolutely correct... criminals are very easy to flip on each other. In fact, the majority of damning testimony we get from their fellow conspirators.
Because when they're under oath it's their own arses on the line.
He was loyal to Trump; you are missing the point. Guliani and Trump ware the people who ware ready to let him go under the bus; he clearly just trying to stay afloat by taking all under with him. Now from what I saw, read and heard from the testimony, unlike what this video and other media outlets are trying to say, he was not objectively that successful. But you can't blame a man for trying to survive.
"He looks like he just threw a match on a building soaked in gasoline". No, it's already on fire, Sondland's just happy to say who lit the place up.
"And the white house burned burned burned,
And we're the ones that did it
;
It burned burned burned
while the president ran and cried..."
why do they allow jordan and nunes to continually disrupt everything with nonsense? its pathetic, literally idiotic non-points
Maybe so their constituents can vote them out of office
There isn't really anything Dem's can do about it, they would have to say something extremely vulgar for Schiff to hand them a warning, otherwise it would be seen as censorship of what the minority can say. That would hurt the integrity of the commitee and it might turn into a slippery slope where whoever has the chair suppresses the minority
Because it's a democracy and it's their constitutional right to be morons
They literally use their allotted time to misdirect, to distract, or to name call the Democrats. Nothing of substance, because they know the have no credible way to defend Trump.
Just ignore them. They are doing this dumb line of questioning to produce content for the Fox News opinion hosts (hannity, carlson, ingram etc) and alt right news outlets like breitbart.
If the chair would start interrupt them, they would immediately start whining about how they are censured etc.
Just let them talk and expose the nonsense they just have produced afterwards.
*_Hands bank teller a Note:_*_ "I have a gun. Give me all the money in your drawer."_ Teller: "Sir, there are cameras all around this bank; you're not even wearing a mask, it would not be wise to try to rob me." Me to the other patrons: "I want no money from this teller. I want her to do the right thing!" *_Gets tackled by security_* "I'm not robbing the bank! I had a perfect conversation with this teller!"
And that about wraps it up😜
"I can't be guilty of attempted robbery anyway, because I was just in this bank last week, and I didn't pull out a gun _then._ Look at the security tapes! Look at the tapes! I didn't have a gun during my _first_ - and *most important* - visit to this bank. So I clearly can't be guilty _now._ TOTAL EXONERATION!" :)
It was all the Bidens' fault. His son got a job at that bank, and I am concerned with embezzlement, bigly. So much embezzlement, folks. Believe me. So I sent my lawyer to that bank, to look over people's shoulders to see if he was embezzleing anything. But most to congratulate the teller on their birthday. _That's_ what was written on that note he passed to the teller. No you can't see the note, I put it in my safe. My scrapbooking safe. No withdrawls. A perfect note.
this is too good......you guys are hilarious...:). send these scenarios over to SNL pls.

Hey, I won't complain.
Yup
With each day trumps actions keeps providing material
That was fantastic! Please don't ever stop doing "A closer look".
Sondland : “EVERYONE WAS IN THE LOOP”
And he repeats that line in a public hearing LMFAO
@FLAG BANDIT Caps Lock Yeah!!!
@FLAG BANDIT Are you joking? The hearings are hours and hours every day of, trump wanted the announcement of an investigation into biden/burisma before he would release aid money. Even the Republican-called witnesses confirm it.
Then he only released the money after they got caught. And it was illegal for him to hold up the money for any reason, and the fact that it was for personal gain just makes it even worse.
@FLAG BANDIT - What the hell is wrong with you?!?
@FLAG BANDIT Yo Comrade Bandit You are way over your head-Perfect Trumper
Sadly, forty-five million people didn’t understand this.
Austin Powers And they will support Trump no matter what. Whatever it takes to disillusion them is too horrible to contemplate.
Ignorant, stupid, and/or corrupt.
Lights are on but no one is at Nunes’ home!
🤣🤣Seems like it. 😄
Did you watch his opening statement? It was 30 minutes of him talking about the Mueller investigation.
Except the cows.
His reaction to the testimony was golden.
And don’t forget, that one of Perry‘s cronies got a 50 year contract for oil and gas exploration in the Ukraine shortly after Zelensky‘s inauguration.

What a silly show of democracy from the dimcrats and the only real consequence is another Trump win 2020 and he deserves it ! Sondland hearing was another big nothing burger and the soup cooked up by DNC from some puddle in their own backyard will backfire and maybe they know this already and just bet their continuous bad fake news will somehow save the day or their now 3 1/2 year fishing expedition, contrary to our constitution (as per the usual DNC trick and cheat customary way of life...) will yield something, something, something whatever they can gouge on... im sure both Russia and China would be honored to have them as leaders...shameful is their conduct, shameful and disgusting, silly so called democrats on the lose !!! and what happened when the bbc journalist came with his lame assessment "that this will have big consequences for Trump " through his rotting teeth, we all saw the socialist globalist bend to bbc and all on their payroll. Shame on BBC !!

Seth, the sentence is “I’d like you to do us a favor though”. (Though) is a very important word in this sentence.
"Morrison called you the Gordon Problem."
"That's what my wife calls me."

Trump thinks because he uses the word PERFECT suddenly everything is OK.
I believe that Drumpf thinks that because he's Potus, everyone should just Blindly listen to whatever he says and trust that whatever he does is good for the country (but actually meaning him and his family + friends). He has No empathy so he just uses everyone he can like toilet paper and then throws them away after.
plot twist: Sondland is actually the whistle blower
Dont believe that either. He looks more like the "leaving the sinking ship an setting it on fire before doing so" kind of guy
That would be great.
i think its pence, he has the most to gain.

Cant be Pense his neck deep in this cluster muck aswell. My money would be on an aide of one of the senior officials, mostlikely Maulvaney. Or it could be Kellyanne Conway who knows
Fucking open your eyes and ears if you got one.
Trump needs to stop talking to the press next to running helicopters.
Its on purpose I'm sure. The guy has been one of the least accessible presidents. Wont do regular press briefings or interviews.
He does that on purpouse, because he can just say that he didn't understand the question and has to go. It's a trick that started when John Kelly was his chief of staff. John really tried to keep Trump from talking too much. And if you go back, it almost looked like it's gonna be successful at the start.
Better yet resign

I mean, Seth's great and all, but just having people watch a 12 minute snippet of all that has happened is a pretty low bar to set for an intelligent nation.
Hah I tried to post links to these vids on FB posts where republicunts are trying so hard to defend Trump. Of course they call these vids "fake news"
car. A We’re really not that intelligent - as a nation, that’s why I think it’s perfect for most Americans. Remember, we have one of the lowest participation rates of any Democracy. A 12-minute short is actually a pretty high bar.

Sondland wasn't a liberal sympathizer so the overwriting the 2016 election lie won't work
