Jim Jordan grills Dems’ ‘star witness’ Taylor in impeachment hearing

What an absolute fiasco for the Democrats! It's hard to imagine if the Dems vote to impeach the President of the United States on this, that the American people aren't going to be furious with them!

JB: Breaking!! Bad news for the economy!

Lennco: HURRAYY!!

A few words:

• Seasonality.
• Projections.
• Trade.
• Lazy democrats who refuse to pass a trade deal. Refuse to work on immigration. Refuse to work on infrastructure.
• Corrupt liberals who hate Trump more than they love their country.

For the scum who are cheering the eminent slowdown and collapse of the US economy, you're going to be disappointed. Again.

The US economy may not grow at all in the 4th quarter

The New York Fed's Nowcast for fourth quarter GDP is now calling for growth of just 0.4%. That's down from the model's earlier projection for 0.7% growth. The NY Fed cited "negative surprises" in recent economic reports, including a fall in manufacturing production during October.

The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model is even more bearish. The growth tracker was dimmed on Friday to just 0.3% for the fourth quarter, compared with 1% a week ago. The Atlanta Fed in part blamed lukewarm consumer spending numbers released on Friday that showed retail sales, excluding vehicles and gasoline, inched up just 0.1% in October.

Sondland may plead the 5th or bargain for immunity so he can really talk without persecution.

You're in a deep fantasy.

Didn't read it, haha.

Biggest takeaway from Impeachment is liberals are in deep denial, blinded by hate and naked ambition.

In other news, potus carried through go with his threat to pardon war criminal Chris Gallagher.

A mass murderer according to Senior Seals: “Would order needless risks, to fire rockets at houses for no apparent reason. He routinely parked an armored truck on a Tigris River bridge & emptied the truck’s heavy machine gun into neighborhoods on twith no discernible targets.”​

This is a guy who killed civilians with no cause and zero remorse, bragged about it, and threatened anyone who would report his crimes. Pardoning him is a slap in the face to anyone who served honorably.

Actually agree with you. I don't know the whole story but what I've read and heard from him, I don't like.

Attorney General Barr accuses the left of systemic 'sabotage' of Trump administration
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/attorney-general-barr-left-systemic-sabotage

More and more sensible Americans are seeing these perpetual hoaxes and endless investigations of President Trump by Democrats and the Mainstream Media for exactly what they are: Totally partisan hit jobs designed to hamper the Trump Administrations implementation of his America First policies. And they will rightly pay dearly at the ballot box next November!

They are in full derangement, trying to prevent Trump from being reelected by any means necessary. Not only damaging the presidency but the FBI, CIA, DOJ and congress.

California, once the countries richest state, is in meltdown. Globalist like George Soros and democrats leadership wants to bring California's failures to the rest of the country.

Governor Hair Gel blames the homeless hoard, filth, rolling power outages and wildfires on Pres. Trump without any serious push back from the media.

The rich hire private police, fire and emergency services. The working middle class pays for everything else.

Benghazi Mom Blasts Maria Yovanovitch for Comparing Herself to Benghazi Victims During Testimony: ‘They Don’t Care’

I tuned Amb. Y's opening statement out. Arrogant drama queen, good thing for American she's gone. Should have been fired instead of getting a cush job at George Town

Been gone for a couple of days and I see Trump supporters are in such a panic the have to type in mega large font to try and drown out Trumps downfall.....LOL

Today was devastating for Dumbass Trump and now I am hearing there is now a first hand witness listening to Trump on Sondland's cell phone? LOL

Now Sondland HAS to fess up.

What is the term of the day? Oh yea.......

Rep. @Jim_Jordan: "If recalling Amb. Yovanovitch was part of some scheme by Trump and Pompeo and Giuliani to get Pres. Zelensky to do an investigation, why would they replace her with the Democrats' first witness, their star witness, Bill Taylor?"

Devastating.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., read several news articles that quote Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chair, talking about how lawmakers would hear from the whistleblower at the center of the impeachment inquiry.

Also pardoned, Clint Lorance.

An army lieutenant who ordered his troops to fire on unarmed Afghani civilians driving past on a motorcycle, including a 12-year-old boy, then filed false reports claiming they were insurgents. He had been turned in by 9 of his platoon members for murder.

Why are we pardoning war criminals?

Three civilians ignored multiple orders from both American and Afghan military to stop. The civilians advanced even after being shot at.

No visible firearms but could have had bombs, which is what I would have thought. I probably wouldn't have not have hesitated to end their lives.

Characterizing this as a threat is dumb.
