BREAKING NEWS!


BREAKING:


Gordon Sondland, Trump's ambassador to the European Union, reversed himself in new testimony to House impeachment investigators, saying he does believe Ukraine military aid was contingent upon the launch of politically motivated probes. 

In his revised statement, Sondland said he now remembers telling a top Ukrainian official on Sept. 1 that hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to the beleaguered U.S. ally would "likely" be held up unless the government announced investigations of Trump's political rivals. 


Sondland revealed the exchange in supplemental testimony he submitted to House impeachment investigators, saying he had failed to recall the episode when he testified in person last month.


Sondland testified under oath and his testimony directly contradicts Trump's claim lie that there was no quid pro quo.


What a surprise! The Liar-in-Chief lied about extorting Ukrainian President Zelensky.


Now what? Will the Goopers continue to support a POTUS who used his presidential power of office to extort a foreign government to get them to find dirt on his political opponent?


Yes. They. Will.


The present GOP has no honor and no decency.

Again Shaw...

Every diplomat, ambassador, soldier, NSC member and anyone who has, or will testify against Pres Trump is lying.

How many times do we have to say that to get libtards to understand?

Besides, even if what those Deep State Minions say is true, what difference does it make? It does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

Or so we're gonna be told.

BTW... don't ask any of those folks for an example of an impeachable offense because they've adopted the Trumpian view that A. Nixon was illegally railroaded and B. You are not allowed constitutionally, to investigate a sitting US President.

Dave, The Trumpers are impervious to facts and the fact that the man they support tried to extort/blackmail a foreign leader to find dirt on his political opponent -- a thing of value -- is being corroborated daily.

Extortion, obstruction of justice, and other high crimes and misdemeanors are piling up.

Trump is a dangerous lying corrupt POTUS and the people who still support this disaster are being willfully blind to all of his crimes.

Shame on them all.

Sen Graham has reportedly said he's not even going to read the transcripts.

Imagine how long a juror would last in a trial if he said he was going to just ignore the evidence because he didn't feel the trial was justified?

And yet, here we are. It's not just the low information bloggers/extremist voters, it's the jury.

Just remember which party decided after years of congressional harassment of both the Clinton and Obama Administrations that investigations of the Executive Branch are not only witch hunts, but not even permitted.

And let's not forget that these are the very same voters who loudly proclaimed that "Iraq had wmd's" and "Better to get them there than face them here," and other such bobblehead utterances. Also, they mostly thought Caribou Barbie the half-term Gov of Alaska was a wonderful choice to be President if McCain should drop dead (Which most of them hoped for). There simply is not another group this deluded and ignorant of facts than these people. They are the guy wearing the pink bunny costume at a black tie event.

You're absolutely right Shaw. 30-35% of the republiquacks will ALWAYS support Trump. No matter what the goon does.

They indeed have no honor. Nor are they deserving of ANY respect.

Dave, BlueBull, and RN,

I'm astonished at Graham's latest outbursts. He was a JAG. I think he's so neck deep in TrumpCultism that he cannot look at evidence and facts that show Trump's corruption and crimes, because that would mean to him that he has no judgement and/or has been supporting a criminal.

Grahma is indicative of what's left of the Trumpublican Party: Sorry to say this but the majority who support Trump are undereducated old white men.
