I worry too, how this will all turn out. Mainly it is the fact that Donald Trump is basically all on his own in a sea of corruption and criminal dishonesty. He has literally an army of filth arrayed against him; and they are clever, cunning, and united in purpose. They will leave no village unscorched if necessary to destroy this administration.

Trump is turning out to be a true hero but he is all by himself with no reliable allies.

Senate leadership needs to be more Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and less John Thune, John Cornyn. This is sickening. We have little to no representation, outside of Donald Trump.

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

Correct on all counts because this president is a Republican. Democrat Presidents can do whatever the heck they feel like and there is no noise from either party.

[Carry me back]

The Republican swamp, sure needs to be drained.

[LongWayHome]

Yup....case in point: Mueller & the DOJ helped set up Cohen with the help US Southern District of NY. That’s blatant corruption.

I have a gut feeling the judge in this case is going to let Manafort off with no jail time, this judge KNOWS what the HELL is going on here!!! I am assuming of course the judge is the one issuing the sentence!!!!!

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

OH NO, not SCHUMER I am sur Trump is just SHAKING in his shoes!!!! LOL, LOL, LOL, Mr. POTUS whatever these feckless A-HOLES tell you to do, you do just the opposite, WE have your back, WE hired you to piss these BASTARDS off in ANYWAY you can!!!! MAGA!!!!!

So the Dems can run a witch hunt to get the President and ruin people’s lives in the process and these slime Repubs warn the President not to make things right. That is the leadership of the Republican Party now. They have zero character, ethics or backbone. Every Fn one of then needs to be thrown out.

Where were you when Bill Clinton pardoned those terrorists or Obama when he welcomed the disgraced American Soldier's parents in the Rose Garden....Mr. Schumer you are a flaming hypocrite and a disgrace yourself!

[txrefugee]

Cornyn is an embarrassment to Texas. He is a bottom-dwelling D.C. Swamp creature.

Do it on December 24, 2024....

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.

[Political Junkie Too]

What if President Trump doesn't pardon Manafort, but just commutes his sentence so he doesn't have to spend the rest of his life in prison?

Is that what Republicans want, that Manafort spends the rest of his life in prison?

I’d vote for Susan anyday.

Of course you would, you’re from New Jersey.
We need fewer progressive Republicans, not more.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Thune needs to go. He’s a rat.

[KavMan]

WTF are these yapping about??!!

TRUMP will PARDON Manafort when Mueller's stupid witch hunt ends!!!!

[GuavaCheesePuff]

I’m a suburban conservative.

[Lurkinanloomin]

You are a New Jersey Republican, no conservative would vote for Susan Collins.

[Electric Graffiti]

Schumer speaks for most of the senate, unfortunately.

The rinos and neverTrumpers want Trump gone. They all support the mueller coup and want him to continue.
