Lmfao this bitch couldn’t be a president candidate with no support so they tell her do this and we will see if we can move you up somewhere what a fucknn joke OMG
No it’s not
Integrity ? Coming from a someone who got were she is from sleeping with the disgusting Willie Brown ?
What would you know about integrity? You put 1500 or more in CA jails for smoking weed yet you admitted doing the same! Integrity? No Even your father during your campaign said you had none: DO not trust her! Go back into the woodwork, and “Do that thing”
She looks constipated.
oh no, failed presidential candidate heels up harris speaks about integrity, she must recuse
FakeImpeachmentHoax

The Democrats are corrupt any fool can see threw this . Trump 2020
The problem with the world is that everyone does not have a brain, but everyone does have a tongue. Raheel Farooq
Dem hoax
The democrat liberal hacks have as much chance of convicting realDonaldTrump in the senate as Harris has getting the democrat nomination for president.
landslide on the way for trump the left the plot
The integrity of USA questionable not right now with this impeachment but for a long time. Look at it's foreign policy on the world stage. Most foreigners hate USA than love. Only Israel loves even after bribes. U.S behaves as it pleases. Behind global mayhem. Trump one example.
Bad news travels fast. Good news takes the scenic route. Doug Larson
The 'integrity of the U.S. Senate was lost when the Senate Majority Leader declared on camera that 'I am not an impartial juror'. For him to take the oath after this is nothing short of perjury.
She's a dirty DA who had an innocent man sit on death row because she refused to bring forth evidence to exonerate him . To her right (the viewers left), is this 'man'.
So glad she is out of the Presidental race. Hear voice is annoying!!! Just saying
How can the senate ever truly have credibility with scum like Harris taking up space?
Nancy has said she prayed for the President it's a grave somber moment and yes the pens were a bit gleeful and Chuck Shummer now wants witnesses I wonder why they did not ask the witnesses to be brought in the house hearings they could have gone to court now they see their case?
Claire Huxtable
Damn, this reminded me Twitter was just a little bit more pleasant after she dropped out of the race. shesbaaaccckk
Unfortunately those old racist lying white men there doesnt giving a fly horse about integrity
Bingo!
Kamala Harris talking about integrity -😂😂😂😂😂 DemocratsAreCorrupt DemocratsHateAmerica
Coming from a woman with none.
And its nothing fancy about that kid lying constantly in the white house...impeach him
I trust even political pundits recognise this as a political show. But who is really watching or caring?
Well none of this is actually to the point. Pompous ass.
SenateGOP don't have any integrity to begin with.....
The United States of America deserves better than these fools on both sides.
This whole thing is just an embarrassment to be quite honest. Democrats, I know you hate him. Republicans, you cannot just gloss over impeachment whether you agree with it or not. And you cannot support Mitch McConnell, whether he is republican or not, when he promises no process
I don't think she is the one that should be lecturing the country about integrity
The articles of impeachment are the weakest as the hearings investigations proved and he should be exonerated completely Kamala Harris is embellishing the articles which were presented to the Senate ?
What integrity? The Republicans are just going through the motions. Trump's got them in his pocket. God help us all.
King Don, Queen Melania, Prince Jared, Princess Ivanka, and Don Jr. the Court Jester all need to go. CitizenorSubject This is the choice for 2020
Ms Cliche is at it again
Exactly. And the feral stinky Dems will be seen for the attention seeking, fulla shit, antics that have absolutely ZERO chance in the Senate, but will smash the Democrats into opposition for the next Century. By doing this you have guarenteed realDonaldTrump two more terms. 🤣
U very wrong
I’m not even sure she knows the meaning of the word.
He was there for this
I would argue that Ms. Harris is a disgrace and disaster looking for a place to land !!
Americans love their Congress!
Yes it is but we all ready know what going to happen is that the party is not going to do anything about it
I, for one, don't appreciate you putting our integrity on trial.
I like the way she eats pork.
Oh, so autographing bibles is ok moscowmitch ?
Look whose scare now🤣🤣Love it Nancy let them say your name🔥🔥🔥
If everyone speaks this slowly in the hearings , they will finish in 2035 .
Nothing says 'seriousness and sobriety like working with the defense to assure acquittal'. Stop playing games moscowmitch and actually do your job for once.
He's a petty P.O.S. Walking muck.
If you are worried more about passing out pens than selling nuclear secrets to the country that cuts up our journalist with bone saws or bribing Ukraine with our tax dollars, you might be a Republican Leader.
Mitch Mitch Mitch
Chuck the cuck
A class act those democrats.
Says MoscowMitch the most flagrant, out in the open criminal in history.
Discrediting the messenger or witness, a famous strategy 🙈
Moscow Mitch has had this thumb on the scales of justice too long. It's time to elect a fair and impartial senator to fill his seat. NO ONE SHOULD CAST A VOTE FOR MCCONNELL IN 2020. SILENCE WILL BE OUR WEAPON AGAINST TYRANNY!
It was a somber action. But after seeing copious bullying Tweets from the realDonaldTrump prior to and during this process, those commemorating and celebrating this occasion must be given a little grace. Throughout history, the citizenry have celebrated the fall of tyrants.
Pens, dishwashers, GOP what the absolute hell.
MoscowMitch objects to pens used to sign Impeachment this is all he has
Says the head of the jurors who openly colludes with the accused.
Finalizing Trump's Articles of Impeachment was a pause to celebrate Democracy. Trump DESERVED IMPEACHMENT for ILLEGAL USE OF POWER & CRIMES & SHOULD BE REMOVED. It proves the rule of law & the Constitution prevails & protects U.S. against crimes in high office. Democracy lives!
He is right, but, as mentioned, this has absolutely nothing to do with this trial. He is looking for distractions rather than formulation a substantiated opinion based on the President’s illegal actions.
Mitch is right. I'm sure millions of americans agree with him.
Maybe he should have announced solemn prayers for these bullshit impeachment documents andheld a slow procession to the dumpster behind the Capital
Give me a break. Mitch & his republiCon cronies sit by & watch unbelievable crimes being committed by this so called president & his family, along with AG Barr, VP Pence, Sec Pompeo & he's bothered by ball point pens, really?
Nothing to see here 😴 😴 😴
Moscow Mitch resorting to pen hand outs when he already said he wouldn’t be unbiased during the impeachment. Putin is so proud of your distractions.
Pot, kettle, what about all the bills sitting on the self-proclaimed grim reaper's desk. Where legislation passed by the house, goes to die. Hundreds of bills. Project much Mitch?
senatemajldr Didn’t you get one (or two) souvenir pens from the Clinton impeachment trial? Sounds like hypocrisy to me.
Yeah...it’s called not doing your job. I’ve heard of guilty in the trial of public opinion but never innocent no matter what. Even if you don’t believe Trump did anything wrong, it is still your duty to be impartial and actually respect the Constitution.
Beats the hell out of being a traitor MoscowMitch can’t even uphold his oath of office. ImpeachmentTrial GOPCorruptionOverCountry WitnessesAndDocuments
This makes it even easier vote to Dismiss. all this PHONY BS political show!!!! They are a disgrace!!😊😎
Amazing so many woke people living in the US embrace Communism. The Evil Empire is slipping past the Iron Curtain. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.
Both senators are right - and that pains me to say
Oh my Lord, that’s what he comes into the game with? So many people in history shed blood for this country, weeping families, children without mothers and fathers...for this?
Wake up McConnell, you are rambling like your boss. Be a statesman and clear the air or this will come back to haunt you and you will go down in history as an arselicker. You insist on dividing the American people, the ones you took an oath to represent fairly.
senatemajldr just jealous they have lips.
Why do the right alway whine about how they are picked on?
Watch senatemajldr lie his face off
Trump hands out signing pens all the time FFS
MoscowMitchTraitor
What do you expect from a 🐢, Chuck?
ABC, why did you bury the Epstein story that could've saved countless children's lives?:
McConnell must recuse!
ImPREACH
Nothing says serious... like Moscow Mitch saying he was coordinating a defense against impeachment with the White House when he's one of the supposedly neutral jourers. Criminals to the end, all of them. How about we try something new... DeportTheGOP
Oh yeah on this historic day I remember the late sen Elijah Cummings his spirits are among what he fought hard for alongside his democrats colleagues in this day right now he’s dancing with the angels I know this would be a great moment for him to see what he took an oath for
Don Trump himself is doing just fine. The real story is the trade deal.
Come on, you showed what Schumer had to say but not McConnell? So biased!
The witch hunt built with lies coup attempt by the treasonous democrats.
You news kidiots gonna claim the trial was “fixed” after the Senate takes a look at the “evidence” then votes “not guilty”?
I just can't wait to see the democrats attempt at being impartial. They should have had to take that oath during the inquiry as well. Such a serious and solemn undertaking they all said one after the other. Then, following the vote, they started to cheer, and had parties. Sad.
And Jerry's pant are in attendance. 😁
I get that the hearings are a big deal. This kind of coverage is SO stupid tho. Like watching them walk into the room or the way they made a parade out of sending over the articles yesterday. Tuck it in an envelope and have a clerk run it over, and stop being dramatically stupid.
fart noises
Hopefully they start the investigation. And hopefully democrats or whoever persay Republicans to think about to IMPEACH TRUMP or (sadly) let the investigation go
This is the democrats crying wolf. They accept money from the same donors as the republicans. They are well on their way to rigging another presidential election. Some of them support Trumps policies with votes and somehow they think we will care when they say “Impeach”! Smdh
Still not historical try again
Any congressperson who is a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination should not be allowed to vote! It is a clear conflict of interest!
STEP 1 TO JUSTICE BABY!!!!!!!!! I bet my ex wife is so mad but not as mad as her STU*ID new husband..... Pete2020
How did they manage to make an impeachment so darn boring?
Historic Corrupt Schiff Show brought to you by Burisma and Soros.
Republicans don’t care
I like her charming smiles she gave to every Senator.
So sad! It’s like a witch hunt.
Ffs abc, take a smoke break.
Lock him up!
What’s the point of signing to be on an impartial jury when pretty much everyone in DC has clearly stated their bias. For or against this...it is all joke. This is not a impartial jury.
I counted 13 lefties?
Are going to fit the POTUS with an ankle tracking bracelet to insurance he doesnt skip the country!
They should be going to prison
Wow, it took impeachment to get the Senate to show up for work. It's almost as if there isn't over 250 bills sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk.
ClownShow DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica ImpeachmentHoax AbuseOfPower DemocratsTheEnemyWithin DeepStateCoup
Oh you mean when LindseyGrahamSC and senatemajldr committed perjury?
. had no issue with 2020 Senate Dems calling for Trump's impeachment, see Republicans as the problem
Lovely. After taking the Oath. PURGERY
No one outside of DC cares.
HUGE waste of taxpayer's money.
Oopsie! realDonaldTrump dropped his ice cream. ImpeachmentTrial
