The need to have a fair trial in the United States senate. And its especially necessary when you have mr. Mcconnell, senator mcconnell quoted earlier saying publicly that he is not going to be an impartial juror. Even though thats what the oath will require. All the democrats in the senate are so impartial, we know. Meanwhile ted cruz has a different view. Surprisingly he said all you just heard is a bunch of blank. I think this is a sign of weakness. I think this is a sign that she understands just how weak these articles are. These articles of impeachment that they actually voted on were really an admission of failure. For months, they had been promising all this evidence of chronic chemical activity. Theyve atomic quid pro quo, and bribery, then they heard the evidence and there is no evidence of it. Now on saturday President Trump said he likes the way every thing is playing out. Just kidding he hates it. They have nothing, there is no crime, there is nothing. How do you impeach wh
Calling the president the dword. Whether you think congress is beheading well or badly, whether its popular unpopular, if you want a dictator you subvert the ability of Congress Stalled executive in check. What is central here, is do we want to dictator . No matter how popular he may be, no matter how good or bad his policies may be, no president is supposed to be a dictator in the united states. Kennedy a dictator . I just met her. We expecting a different dword . You cant expect dictator without it. Ranking doug collins is said theyre acting like a bunch of dimwits. We dont have fairness in this committee, how can they stand up and say of the two weakest articles of impeachment in the history of this country. Honestly, with a straight face how can you look at the American People and say we did good. No, you didnt, you stained this body. Youve taken this committee and made it a rubberstamp. Kennedy rubberstamp in rubbers ticked chicken. Republican matt gates, they babbled out about ev

We can see why secretary pompeo and President Trump have made such a concerted and across the board effort to obstruct this investigation and this impeachment inquiry. I will just say this, they do so at their own peril. Kennedy oh, gordo, ranking republican devin nunes had a different strategy, it was bizarre. Instead of going after democrats, he went after ambassador sondland, who as i mentioned is the republicans witness. You can see the confusion in sonsondland sons, face. You are here today to be smeared. You will make it through it. And i appreciate your service to this country, i am sorry you have had to go through this. Kennedy oh, finally sondland himself got to speak, he is the guy who supposed to support the president s claim of no quid pro quo. Instead he aid this what a day. I know that members of this committee frame these complicated issues in form of a simple question. Was there a quid pro quo. As i testified previously, with regard to the requested white house call and
Billionaires, i guess you dont have to have town meetings or talk to ordinary people, i guess you take out a couple billion dollars and buy state of california. I would build a Grassroots Movement to make real change. I dont think that democracy should be about people coming in and buying elections. Kennedy tell that to your friend hillary, dear. Bloomberg her successor here inw york mayor de blasio said he should not be the nominee because he is wealthy. If he was when he was mayor, i think he had no understanding of the inequality crisis, and tone deaf to what people are going through in the stay, would he be better than donald trump of course, should he be democratic nominee, no, there no way in the world to nominate a billionaire. Kennedy how does he make a baseball hat look dumb . Yesterday, it could spir the peoples pant suit to give Hillary Clinton a third round. Watch this. I dont know whether she will look at bloomberg thing, and say it feels too crowded now or opposite, the f
