    There has to be evidence. Why read a bunch of biased opinions.

    Yes that is right; it is popular because its lies feed the confirmation bias and fake stories the fans tell themselves every day.

    UNEXPECTEDLY: Alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella was Biden guest at State Department banquet.

    Dems Warn Against Calling Bidens to Testify: It ‘Would Be Literally Rolling a Grenade Down’ the Senate.

    Dems Not To Swift On the Meaning of the Word "Literally"

    Republicans plan to haul former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter for testimony about their actions in Ukraine.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who chairs the Judiciary Committee, expressed interest in calling the Bidens for testimony. And this generation's Paul Revere, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) urged the Senate to call not only the anonymous whistleblower for testimony, but the Bidens, too.

    The Republicans will call the Bidens to the hearings to answer to the nation, under oath, about their corruption.

    Ya, ONE scandal and he resigned because of overwhelming tangible evidence/tape.. Nothing like that has risen to the occasion with Trump. Just one package of bullshit after another! At least Clinton was good enough to wipe his pecker off on Monica prom dress!

    The coup is unravelling yet the left is doubling down. Sad that the left here double downs too.

    He is one of the prime reasons conservatives believe things that don't square with reality.

    Yeah I did see this article and articles like it, but it will not amount to anything, because there is nothing showing illegal collusion, or unethical behaviors prior to the reports of bad behavior on Trump's part in illegal pressuring Ukraine.

    It took years to show. Impeachment proceedings were well underway. Now, the impeachment proceedings are just starting for Trump.

    I have actually been hoping that Hannity was proven wrong for years! Hasn't happened, yet!

    Nothing is unraveling except Trump. He is going to be impeached. This is just another example of conservatives pretending reality is other than it is. If it was not for the looming impeachment, conservatives would have their panties in a bunch, over some made up silliness or another that doesn't square with reality.

    Yes I gave you that, the difference was tangible evidence which supported word of mouth.. This is certainly not the case with Trump! Of course you are free to produce the two way digital recording of the phone conversation between him and the other gentleman.. Many of us would absolutely LOVE that :)

    Cite the Federal Statute that you claim Trump violated in his phone call with the President of Ukraine.

    Wait a minute! Game of Thrones is closer to "news" than Hannity is. And they beat his ass in ratings!

    Because President Sharpie is, not only going to be removed, he might even be going to jail if you don't find some way to defend him. And you're not going to accomplish that if you don't read the evidence.

    Or have you already decided to just give up on him?

    Of course it does/did. GOT was a fantasy based show/series and we all know how the leftist, like a moth to light, are drawn to anything nonreality based.. Next we could discuss their affinity for drama and talk show like the view..

    Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Trump's staunchest supporters, appears to be confused. His latest defense of Trump is that Trump's Ukraine policy is "incoherent." No kidding, that is what he said.

    "What I can tell you about the Trump policy toward Ukraine: It was incoherent, it depends on who you talk to, they seem to be incapable of forming a quid pro quo," Graham said.

    Graham told reporters that he would not be reading newly released deposition transcripts, calling the Democratic-led impeachment probe a “bunch of BS."

    Graham told us that he hopes the President will be able to call his own witnesses. Assuming it would be the White House staff who would support Trump on the witness stand, apparently Graham doesn't know that it is the President who is stonewalling White House staff from testifying.

    When Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked Graham about Sondland's testimony, Graham contrived a conspiracy accusing Sondland of switching up his testimony because of a “connection” with Democratic operatives.

    “Why did [Sondland] change his testimony?” Graham said. “Was there a connection between [Sondland] and Democratic operatives on the committee? Did he talk to Schiff? Did he talk to Schiff’s staffers?”

    Graham didn't even know the name of the witness. He kept referring to Gordon Sondland as “Sunderland.”

    It is clear that Graham is losing it, and the Senator has no idea what is going on. Was he sober when he said that? This conspiracy is beyond comprehension.
    Sondland is, after all, a Trump-appointed ambassador, a poltical appointee, not an experienced envoy. He is also a Republican mega-donor who reportedly contributed $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.

    This is the same ambassador whom Trump recently described as “a really good man” and a “great American.”

    And yet, we’re now supposed to believe that Sondland may be in league with House Democrats?

    Well, according to Graham, that is a possibility. Actually, Sondland revised his testimony because his lawyer told him that perjury in a Congressional hearing is a federal crime punishable by imprisonment. In his previous testimony, Sondland lied to protect Trump.

    Graham is the perfect example of the confusion and the problems Trump Republicans have trying desperately to come up with some angle to defend Trump. As Graham illustrates, it is a losing endeavor.
