It makes me think of Schultz In 'Hogan's Heroes': 'I see Nothing, Nothing!' I expect it of politicians, but for my Christian friends to tolerate all the lying and nonsense is incredible..

Brought to you by the party of law and order and personal responsibility where only immigrants commit crimes and only poor people are responsible for their actions.

Awww runawaylittleboy SundayMorning

The OBAMA years were GREAT! We had an INTELLIGENT ...NICE LOOKING/ATTRACTIVE man as a LEADER of this country. The SMOOTH up sloping STOCK MARKET since 2009 , and the WORLD responded to OBAMA! We have the exact OPPOSITE of Obama now ! LORD..HELP US! SMARTS and LOOKS MATTER!!

Corrupt republicans

Wrong. The GOP Congress has been there since the beginning and has condone all Trump bad deeds both explicit and implicitly.

Yet Mueller still has nothing on Trump

Isn't it their job to know? Aren't they supposed to act as a check on the Executive Branch?

Good ... why do most politicians feel the need to condemn things they don’t really know about Stop taking the bait just because someone sticks a Mic in your face, they are only trying to divide

WaPo reporters should endlessly question every DEM about the Clinton Foundation Corruption!

Lol...they don't anything about it? Let's pretend that's true (it isn't) it's part of their jobs to know...I see they're representing their uneducated trash base precisely as predicted.

Dodging won't help them.

Senator! Your thoughts on the President being directly implicated in two federal crimes by the SDNY in the sentencing of his personal lawyer and long-time fixer?

These people in the whitehouse are insane . Ben Carson ain't allowed to show his face unless its important . Very embarrassing

Dodge away. We were alll right here watching you do it from the get go. GOP learn about the rule of law in present time. The guy you're continuing to back realDonaldTrump is a criminal. Get it straight, cut the ties and protect our democracy or get out now too. It's over

Coward!

They've been dodging for 2 years. They abandoned their constituents and their principles for Trump. Can't expect them to exhibit leadership or morals now.

'Legal woes' meaning Witch Hunt.

What about that Clinton email server or Fast and Furious? If I remember correctly, a U.S. border patrol agent was killed with one of the guns that was distributed by the government. I’m just throwing it there....

'A lot of members n congress would have to go' when draining the swamp actually means getting rid of republicans

Bob Mueller wasn't there either, but he has been asking questions. Republicans are despicable!!

Take a stand! Call out tomfoolery and crookedness where you see it! You don’t need to impress Donald Trump, he’s a subpar grifter!

Keep chasing em down! Press is the friend of the people. You are keeping Democracy alive! realDonaldTrump

Oh but individual 1 is your boy! Captain of your red team. He even has the hat and little flag pin. He’s all yours, you guys own this mess.

Yeah, the GOP went all-in with Trump. You don't get to hide now.

Of course they do 😂😂😂

Trump will not finish his one, miserable, crime-ridden term as our fake POTUS.

Trump gets conflicting advice from Republicans on declaring national emergencyNEW: Pres. Trump calls declaring a national emergency the 'easy way out.' 'Congress should do this, this is too simple. It's too basic... if they can't do it, I will declare a national emergency.' I thought M paying for the wall was simple and basic! Congress went home bc they knew you were going to go around grandstanding and not do anything. You made it perfectly clear that you didn't care about 800k people not getting paid. THAT'S the emergency! Right and what about the homelessness, unfair income, and the water in Flint Michigan were was the call for national emergency on those issue that impact far more than the fake need for a wall at the Mexico border. You can try and watch congress stop it

Ignoring pressure, more Republicans break with Trump on shutdownRepublicans have not yet reached a breaking point, but one GOP senator said, 'We're getting pretty close.' MaddowBlog Donald's description: MaddowBlog For Governance it will have its rightful place in the halls of Government. MaddowBlog Maybe Dems shouldn't have left DC to watch a play in Puerto Rico and amass some more wealth from lobbyists. Pretty evident they don't care about solving the issue.

Watch These Republicans to see if they break with Trump on the shutdownThese are the Republicans you should watch to see if they break with Trump on the shutdown SpeakerPelosi & democrats have nothing to do with this mess. Democrats are NOT against Border Security and DID NOT promise a wall that was going to be 'paid' by Mexico. This is a Trump Wall thing, not a National Security thing. This just got out of control Shutdown The ball is really in Trump's court!!!! Graham needs to stop expecting Dems to capitulate when this whole thing is Trump's doing. He said it, he did it, he's keeping the gov't. closed!!!! He needs to consider a compromise or let it go!!! In fairness can you publish a list of Ds that may break? nonpartisan

Pelosi says Republicans will oppose Trump if he declares a national emergency over wallSpeaker Pelosi says that she thinks President Trump will face opposition from Republicans if he declares a national emergency in order to begin construction on a wall along the US-Mexico border. Opposition....PresidentTemperTantrum will have doomed the GOP in the 2020 cycle and beyond. Some of us put the issue of national security before this partisan bullshit and REPUBLICANS (even the RINOs) know damn well their base wants this wall. They're courting an election loss if they keep it up and they know it. Only Dems are going to be mad & it will be glorious.
