GOP A Trump Owned Property

17 WITTENESSES CONGRESS HAD

He can have them. They aren't worth the price of eggs. Cowards paying homage to a bully who cruel and dishonest. Really, really sad. What they have done to the Constitution and the oaths they took. I hope this haunts them to defeat in Nov and really the rest of their lives.

Republicans have sold out. No inventory left. Out of business.

18 witnesses were called 🤔

Oh, Good Grief! The House had 18 witnesses. They couldn’t prove their case! Move on!

Soooo. Those witnesses the House had the 17 doesn't matter, or count? Bull crap

Sad

King Donald & his House of Supplicants.

it's not the party of Lincoln or the party of Reagan anymore it's the party of trump.

The November election should begin to rid our Nation of thus Trump scourge.

Crazy crazy crazy VoteThemAllOut2020

Is he the first president without House witnesses? 20-1 Democrat witnesses in the House.

He will be even more brazen now. He knows he can do whatever he wants.

No. We, including our President, are the real Republican Party now.

this is the president that has put the people and country first while the media puts us last and calls us names, Clinton had no new witnesses at his trail only at the hearings, Republicans where denied witnesses and violated the presidents constitutional rights and due process

BOLTON WAS READY.

It’s still inconceivable to me.

Sure. There were 17 er 18 witnesses. Remember?

Associated Press White House reporter Jon Lemire, using Democrat talking points, deflects blame from the House managers for a slapdash impeachment inquiry with 17 witnesses alleging no crimes, no victims, and that ran roughshod over due process rights. HeadlineRighter

Isn’t it funny how the liberal press forgets that there were witnesses. They were the Democrat’s witnesses. They said they had overwhelming proof the President was guilty. The liberal press has short memories.

The Republican party is DEAD.

BEST PRESIDENT EVER AND WILL BE RE-ELECTED

He was impeached. Forever. First ever President in term 1... the next part was to be a trial for removal, but there were no witnesses or documents. Therefore this was not a trial. And he will never be exonerated.

Unbelievable

The American people have failed our Government by being too complacent, not understanding the boring running of the government and leaving it to the next person, not voting, giving up thinking each individual won't make a difference. It all added up to our new monarchy.

King Moron the First

He’ll be the first ‘impeached’ president elected for a second term.

Trump can have the new GOP! He and those that follow will never get to hold the high office again! The haters and the ignorant are out numbered two to one. There are more people in this country that have empathy, an education and want to treat EVERYONE with respect & dignity!

The 17 Democrat-called-only witnesses disagree as does the ICIG testimony that House Managers buried in the basement. Keep lying, MSNBC. You make it easy for us to show people how corrupt you all are.

There was 17, the house failed you, not the Senate.

Took this AP reporter 4 years to come out with this take? Where the hell has he been when Trump waltzed his way to win the ticket and the election lmao

He May be the 1st Predident to go through 2 impeachments. I am sure there are other illegal things he has done.

18

Or testimony Or documentation Or a real trial...

Not really... his Lawyer is a witness tribelaw RepAdamSchiff

Ostracize them all. Including the grand dragon

63 million Americans who voted for POTUS are the happiest people in America. New Yorker, Californians, and 65 million people who voted for Hillary are the saddest people in America. Get onboard with AmericaFirst.

Another lie. There were at least 17 witnesses that RepAdamSchiff and RepJerryNadler didn’t allow to be cross-examined by realDonaldTrump lawyers. They just didn’t do their job fully and got what was deserved.

Also the first impeachment that was totally partisan

Leftist lost... once again. Now Republicans need to get the balls to go after House Democrats.

I'm glad you're acknowledging the so called 17 witnesses Democrats had in the Impeachment hearings were all fake.

And how are you categorizing those 17 people Schiff and Nadler deposed and or called in for hearings.... Please tell me.....I’m waiting

While I hate that this has happened like this I’m happy to see the GOP self destruct.

destroyerOfAllSacred

The most successful grifter in history.

America is dying....and Trump is killing her......

Then call it the Trump Party and give the Republicans back their name.

But this wont be the first time msnbc reported things that were not true and then had to admit their lies.

Surprised ?

NOTHING BUT CROOKS!!! LETS GO BLUE!!!! CLEAN THE SWAMP!!!!!

Well....

I will never vote Republican again. VOTE BLUE IN 2020!!!!

President fraud.

This whole situation is just all kinds of f'd up. Waiting for the hammer to drop. He's going to be aquitted then his retaliation starts.The man is so dangerous because of his lack of knowledge and his childlike fits. Who knows what he's going to put us thru for the nxt 11 months

Well pray americans see the truth and vote blue across the board and remove as many of these scum in november starting with 45

This is an outright lie. 18 witnesses were interviewed. The Senate did not have any new witnesses in Clinton case and none here.

The house called 18 witnesses !! The Senate in history did not call new witnesses !! STOP lying !!

That is awesome Trump is the first Republican that stands up against Democrats. Schiff is the perfect example of the BS.

Then again he was also the first President to go through an impeachment without alleged crimes, so.....

Perhaps, because there was no crime to witness.

Does it hurt to be so clueless? No witnesses? No legit witnesses maybe... there was plenty tax pay or money wasted on of hours of useless “opinions”... AND 4 YEARS OF BS. Please... change professions because you are embarrassing yourself here.

Working for me so far.

Firsts? First partisan impeachment. First impeachment that gave the president no due process in the House inquiry. First impeachment where president could not call witnesses or cross examine witnesses in the House inquiry. First impeachment inquiry began in a bunker.

One could almost understand calling witnesses if there was a legitimate case for impeachment. There isn’t, there wasn’t. The foreign aid story uncovering the deep state will finally flush out the real corruption in this country.

Republican Party should change its name

so every Republican is a traitor. Got it. politicians, voters, sad-sacks. got it.

17 witnesses in the house trial for the dems 0 witnesses for the republicans

Amazing what money can buy. 🤨

MSNBC is NOT allowed to play the fucken fence

See! Be more liberal.

Do you have evil family- that thinks they can speak and act in your behalf! ? Just to cause the worst in your life, wait until the Great GOD ALMIGHTY get a hold of them. Thieves

And a side effect of the acquittal of president Cheeto will be a complete neutering of Congress. Congress will never be able to impeach any president ever again, because these presidents can then just block all witnesses and documents like Trump. Hence unimpeachable.BrokenGov.

Lies!!! It’s been 3yrs of investigations and millions upon millions of tax payer money and every witness imaginable including the President’s children? We’ve actually paid for an attempted Coup and we’re ticked. In November will have our say to your treasonous activities.

He bought them, lock, stock and barrel.

It is actually a bi-partisan vote against impeachment, first in the House and soon to be in the Senate. Sorry fake liberal media, Trump will be forever acquitted and reelected later this year, leading a GOP landslide.

A president above the law

Who would have thought that the Republican Party have been branded criminals, traitors, sellouts, for history now. Not even Conservatives anymore. They shame the American pins they wear.

Jim Jones would be proud. A democrat controlled house, and a sycophant/republican controlled senate that handed control of the senate to Trump. I doubt that the republican controlled senate realizes that because of them...Trump is now a dictator, or a king...take your pick.

They've crowned him king.

He is a clown and disgraceful as a potus.

They didn’t add any new witnesses in the Clinton trial.

Trump and his buddy, Putin, have destroyed the Republican Party. It was on its way out since they invited the Religious Right extremists into the party and then allowed the Tea Party idiots to gain a foothold. At that point it was inevitable that bigotry would infect the GOP.

We're now just subhects waiting to be sent to the camps.

Expect more 737-Max, Flint Water, Charlottesville, oil drilling in our national parks, more minority shootings, kids in cages, private prisons, isolation from our former allies. The corporate takeover of America is complete(with an assist from Putin's money launderers).

Poor Dems

Not okay! That is not a trial

The House Democrats were in power why did they not call witnesses? Overwhelming evidence?

The Republicans have decided that the party comes before the country.

How will our COURTS do Now with calling WITNESSES FOR TRIALS

SO MUCH BULLSHIT!!!

I thought the house was supposed to call witnesses. If you’re going to impeach someone you might want to check out the rules.

Well it was a sham from the outset, so don’t act so surprised. There were witnesses; they testified in the House investigation. So this will be the first presidential impeachment where the defense put on no witnesses because the case was so weak they were unnecessary.

My speculation is that POTUS will be acquitted and the Dems will have to weather the hurricane, category four, of the tweets from Mr. Trump; that will ensure him victory at the polls during the 2020 Election in U.S. America

Does anyone actually believe if he's defeated this year in November that he will execute a 'peaceful transition of power' to the next President? I don't think so..😬🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Show me a president that isn’t the head of their party, I’ll wait.

😂 bout 4 years late buddy. They’ve been running on Trump’s success for a few years now. Do they actually pay people for saying the same thing in EVERY situation? We all know Putin blocked the whiteness.

Anyone know what we’re calling America after tomorrow?

Donald J Trump...the instigator of all of this. You all have allowed a lowlife one time reality show guy to hijack your country..if this does not make you made as hell, then nothing will.The USA is done, all because of Donald Trump and because for the last 4yrs you let him do ALL

We’re witnessing the raw, partisan pursuit of power by House and Senate Democrats, most of whom appear willing to destroy the Constitution if it serves their personal interests. I never thought I’d see such an unpatriotic display in America, let alone in the Congress. Never.

So 'pee wee' gets away with it yet again. Putin will be proud of 53 Americans this week. What a disgrace.

I feel this could be the beginning of the end of the republican party and this group of Congress members will be to blame! 🙋 Adios gang of putin 🙋 da svidaniya gop 🙋 arrivederci cultists 🙋 hasta la vista destroyers 🙋 goodbye republican party

Every major corporation in America is now officially managed by oligarchs

The men and women of the Republican Party, who were voted in to help their constituents, are a disappointing bunch. When is the United States changing its name to Russia II? And is Trump and Putin going to change spots every few months?

I’m ashamed for the Ununited states of America. It’s a laughing stock of the entire world

KAG...TRUMP 2020

I’m sure you won’t put any blame on the House Dems.. Pelosi is incompetent but you’ll report she’s a genius playing 4D chess... smh

First: Donald Trump brought shame to the Republican Party. Second: Donald Trump brought shame to the White House. Third: Donald Trump brought shame to the former greastest deliberative body the Senate. Now our government brings shame on all of us! Sad. Kakistocracy

Signing the end of the American democracy .... NoWitnesses GOP 's shame.

There are no good actors in the current GOP This was the direction for the last 35+ years and Trump was just the venal sociopath to complete the transformation. There’s really no going back for them. Which means we have a dysfunctional government until they are beaten.

They should all go to hell tomorrow.

Trump's legal team attacking the Hunter Biden for 'surfing off of his last name' is 'unbelievable.' She says the president's family has 'dirty hands ... with the way they have surfed and made money off this presidency.' Hahahaha......a politician accusing other politicians of making money from there political office. 😂😂😂 Why do you have this corporate shill on your network? She is one of the only Democrats who lost her seat in 2018 in a wave Democratic election. She lost because she sold out the people of Missouri for corporations. Ed Schultz would be so disappointed in your network. It’s simple projection. It’s their lifeline.
