How much more of this madness do we have to endure ?

[nasoinotna]

“Truth matters little to him. What’s right even matters less. And decency matters not at all”.
All Americans have been able to see by themselves for years this quote appears to be totally true.

[indarkness]

"it's not theirs it's mine" sounds exactly like a toddler when taking something that doesn't belong to him.

[boardhead]

Funniest quote yet: Eric Trump, “They’re treating my dad like a criminal.” ….uhh, ever consider the possibility that he might be one in a number of different ways? Ever think about why so many of your dad’s friends need pardons?

[hansoncogen]

So now he admitted taking them? Just a few days ago, he accused the FBI of "planting" the documents. Those shifting lies make me dizzy.

[darwinthecat]

The fact that he’s still free to go about his day like anyone else is beyond me. What other confessions do they need?

[omavicmcmurray]

This was well delivered. No antagonizing, just facts laid out well., Thanks! May Peace be with USA

[kalinystazvoruna]

From all the residents of New York City to the country: We told you so, but you wouldn't listen!

[sixbladeknife]

This is unreal, if it was anyone else indictments would already be flying.

[elenalatici]

Schiff's speech was so powerful. Incredible to think he's using those words about a President of the United States. "...and decency, he has none at all."
The same is true of the entire GOP.

[alvincook]

Kushner said a similar thing about covid supplies. When NY needed ventilators, he said, "this is ours."

[davidjames]

I like watching your work more than anyone else on the telly (I'm British, and live in England) Lawrence. Absolutely marvellous stuff. Thank you 👍.

[worksbydandeprez]

Trump keeps making the mistake of assuming that experts and professionals have an attention span of one sentence like his cult.

[keepcalm]

Lawrence is exactly right. It IS a confession. It means he KNOWINGLY took and kept those documents even after they were requested from the National Archives.

[shelbychesnut]

Trump has the right to remain silent. He is just not capable. Let his mouth continue to keep him in trouble.

[adoculos]

It's like dealing with a toddler who's having a tantrum and shouting nonsense.🤦

[kmo]

Why a KNOWN con man, grifter and professional liar was able to run for president should show us why the qualifications to run desperately NEED TO CHANGE.

[elizabethbrauer]

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic." John F. Kennedy

[janedoe]

More than ever i look forward to the day that Trump is sitting in oblivion, somewhere, anywhere, and he's no longer in any news cast.

[groucho]

Sorry guys, I think you are mistaken. I have heard cries of "this time we got him" for too many years. Donald is not in jail because of a lack of evidence about his criminal behaviour but because of a lack of backbone on the part of politicians from BOTH parties. I will humbly apologize if Donald ever sentenced to any time in jail.
