Shame on the gop. Its all about getting reelected, not about their oath to our constitution

[Quickmilt]

Don't like the record of impeachment Donald J. Trump attached to your name?
Then just resign as president. Problem solved, "NOT IMPEACHED!" Easy peasie!

[elkslayer]

We all know at least 3 people that only had a managers position because of their last name.

[homerdrumpf]

😆 savage level.
Trump didn't even read the Bible..
Later he will tweet.
Judas..was a mean person to me. 😆

Merry Christmas Pres. Trump (*)
Here is your impeachment asterisk.

It's becoming more clear what Republicans really stand for.

great speech, this guy is smart and has potential, you have forgotten Stone, and my friend Rudolpho

Ms. Lesko, old talking point, the "bad" result, blaming House Dems for doing their jobs.

[kalbs]

He’s right... just look around the table.

[oldbatccats]

According to some commentators it’s okay for people like Collins and Jordan Graham to lecture and scream and defend their leader, but let a righteous black man stand and speak the truth? Suddenly he’s an Uncle Tom? I think he’s a real American and a hero.

[worldsnetizen]

Mr. Gaetz's utilizing the direct way to downplay what Trump did isn't impeachable offensive, which is House's job to hold POTUS accountable.

[worldsnetizen]

Collins keeps ranting/complaining that has no information at all. In a debate, talking your points and support materials/facts/evidence, keep represent American people to say this or that isn't debating, but showing off your "popular votes"/"political power", which has nothing to do with your talking points, rather, threaten/pressure/scare, should be warned and banned. It is a sad thing to see a ranked member without ranked skills.

[worldsnetizen]

Denying, changing concept stealthily, changing the topic to others' wrongdoing or Trump's achievements, muddying the water as hard as they can.

Merry Christmas - peace and good will to ALL men and women, hate has no room in my country

[worldsnetizen]

any debate should be confined in a closed clear range, otherwise, just make things more and more complex that hard to get a correct result. For impeachment, should be confined only about Trump's wrongdoing, true or false and then how to treat, impeach or not, any other thing should be treated as a distraction and shouldn't be discussed.

[worldsnetizen]

Ms. Johnson(LA), old trick, defaming motivation, everybody has one's own right to have their private emotions/feelings about anything one "engaged". Changing the topic from Trump to others. Others' unprofessional action doesn't automatically justify what Trump did, which is an unprofessional debate/trick to play as well for Mr. Johnson.

[worldsnetizen]

Mr. Reschenthaler played the same changing topic trick as Mr. Jodan.

[johnlopes]

My dead friends in our work of miniscule works of abomination will be there to forgive me when you will not be .

Was that before or after watching golf during the hearing? Golf CAN be inspiring...
