I’m so glad we are going to impeach the m-fer; the only remaining question is whether or not the Senate has the courage to remove him from office. I am not optimistic.

That’s the president’s “taste”.

Didn’t they listen to Gordo when he said that this man is a mob boss bidness man? Bidness men gottta taste or no deal.

Once this nightmare has ended, I want to see a full accounting of just how much taxpayer money went into his pocket, his shell corps, his kids’ accounts, etc.

“Over the next several weeks”

I.e., this is being doled out piecemeal to remind Ukraine to toe the line during the pendency of the House investigation.

Ukraine has not received $35.2 million from the nearly $400 million

wonder how much of it was spent buying trump jrs best selling book.

or did anyone think that trump was not going to get a cash tip for being such a helpful passionate human being…
or he is still paying putin the monthly allowance to keep “that” tape in his safe.
