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.
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 :)
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...
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!
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!

@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)
@@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.""

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.
for what? ;) there was no scheme. Your sondlands testimony was as worthless as a sack of toe nail clippings ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EnEWYilDgcg.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
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.
"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.
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!
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 .
He’s so freaking blatant with his lying 🤥 it’s seriously comical!! Unfortunately for us, this criminal occupies the White House. “Vote him out! Vote 🗳 him out!” ✊🏼✊🏼
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
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
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.
@@surewinner Or people like Louie Gomert, Steve King, James Inhofe... There are so many idiots in Congress that are so stupid it makes you shudder at the thought of how stupid the people who elected them might be, because you can't help but think that they'd have to be even dumber.
Imagine how much an administration populated by entirely competent staff could get away with. We're lucky Trump is so lame. I'd like to think that perhaps voters will be more discriminating in the future. Campaign finance must be radically reformed. I favor making all private campaign funding illegal. Each candidate would be provided an equal, modest campaign grant, etc. The reason I'm saying all this is because there STILL are millions of people rabidly defending Trump. I don't know how they can.
@Tara Gibson If you're willing to look the other way and ignore the evidence because the economy is doing well, does that mean you're been bought? How much extra have you made? What does your integrity go for? If we ran a kickstarter to pay you more than the extra you got from the economic improvements, would you have a change of heart and decide that trump should be impeached? I have a few dollars, how much evidence are you willing to consider for a fiver?
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.
*_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!"
"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.
the economy is doing great, President Trump's approval ratings are up???? Yeah ... Bad idea???? Just imagine if Hillary got in, I am so glad that the bad idea was the actual fact. Why not just accept the fact the Dems cannot handle losing, well get used to it. Canada is always an option if you can't handle losing. Look at the scoreboard. TRUMP 2020 :)
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.

@@myriam221 Yes, after WWII, the West (i.e., the U.S.) got some Nazi scientists and the Soviet Union got some. But a lot of the Nazis who committed crimes against humanity were caught, tried and punished (some were put to death). But I agree with you. 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.
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!
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.
@@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.

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?
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
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.
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.

@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.
What a silly show of democracy from the dimcrats and the only real consequence is another Trump win 2020 and he deserves it !

@Christien du Preez you using your feelings and discrediting witnesses because you have no argument with his testimony Sondland wasn't a liberal sympathizer so the overwriting the 2016 election lie won't work
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
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.
